I must say. If my car was silver, It would probably come out lookin like yours. Love how it looks. I too have spent A lot on the car. probably somethin like 7k worth of suspension parts, I/H/E, exterior,interior, JRSC and drivetrain goodies. I wouldn't call our cars a money trap, but they are fun to spend money on and it can add up quick.:cool:

turbo kit approx 2000
Rims+tires 1150 Body kit+cheap paint 800 System 2300 Exhaust(in my attic) ~2000 seats (reholstered) 1400 tan top(reholstered) 1200 Clutch change (2x) ~1150 +______ ~10050 give or take... i spent most likely more than 8900 over a period of....7 years, wow.... really makes your brain fry that u spent 10050$ into a car lol no wonder my mom wants that car out of the garage hahaha |
Heh, erm. hah. I don't total mine anymore. It makes my head hurt.
I've got about 4x what I originally paid for the car into it. |
Too much but not enough...
|
Ya, that's why I think it's time to upgrade to something a little bigger. I have sank way too much money into my miata.
|
Mark it's time to ENJOY your "investment" now that it's done, not pour money into a different pit.
|
Does this tally include things no longer on the car?
|
too much, and not enough :bigtu:
|
I'm at ~$4k, including the car itself. Check my vB garage to decide for yourselves if I've done alright for my money.
|
Uh, I paid 4k for it originally, probably put just about as much in the turbo/engine, and still have more coming. It never really stops....

i'd rather hand it down to my kids
btw-im still unmarried and have no kids lol |
bought for 5grand, put about another 5 grand into it, now putting another 10grand into it...but you do get some money back for selling the old parts, but your always going to be in the hole and when you sell you will never get that money back

$4000 car
$1300 Turbo, exhaust, clutch |
yeah, i try not to think about it. lol. For the most part, i think i've come off pretty good. The biggest help was that i bought the car with the greddy kit already installed for about $1000. But add up all the money it's taken to do it properly, and I'm well up there.
Just for fun, I'm going to try to list here and see how i come out at the end: 1100 - Car with greddy kit 750 - mspnp 140 - 550cc injectors 800 - 6uls 400 - rs2's 225 - AEM wideband 140 - prosport gauges 300 - overall cost of redoing the intercooler setup including ic and new pipes 400 - hdhcddht rollbar with leather pad (used. pretty good deal imho) 325 - act xt clutch (i think. something like that) 50 - new flywheel 100 - timing belt, and misc seals, gaskets, and hoses. 90 - Walbro 190lphhp 100 - Tein S-tech 350 - Tokico Illuminas 100 - FCM stops (i'm going off of bad memory for the last three) 160 - Godspeed radiator (still haven't gotten it in. i should probably call, now that i think about it. heh.) 200 - Turbo tony dp And yeah, there's probably a ton of crap i'm forgetting. It's an expensive hobby, but it's fun. :) |
