ive only got $2000 including the car in my miata, but my eclipse which i sold for the miata, was $13500 for the car and i added up all the receipts when i sold it for an additional 14000 for a total of $27500 in 4 years!!!
|
$7000 for the car
$3500 so far in parts |
1 brazialian dollars.
seriously, I dont total it all up for a few reasons: everyone would think I was nuts my gf would say something about buying a house instead my parents would grill me about credit card debt i'd get a little depressed i'd realize what other cars I could have bought new i'd start to ponder the TIME that went into it. etc. etc. etc. |
I bought the car for $800.......i'm north of 6k now.
begi s w/ gauges racing seats racing harness hardcore rollbar shocks/spring upgrade brake upgrade w/ stainless lines new top w/new seals & latches powdercoated oe wheels w/all-season falkens 15 x 7.5 konig rewind w/ hankook rs2 bodywork is next. |
I hate to say it, but I think I am peaking the $20k mark. I'm scared to tally up the costs.
I know I was at $11.5k before the mods for the 275s, and now the supercharger. I hope my wife doesn't read this forum. |
Hittin over $8,000 now, not including the original purchase. :eek:
|
Not a MM..but..
Well, got mine appraised last year, $29,800 Over $40,000 into her but that does include the price i paid for the car when i bought her used in 2001 ($13,000). Last year was a real reality check. I had to collect all my receipts and put paper work together for the insurance people. I recall saying to my wife "wtf is wrong with me?" That money invested doesn't include the other rims, old blower setup, old 80mm turbo setup, different suspension setup etc. I have totally chilled out on the spending because i would be lucky to get $22,500 for her, and losing the kind of money is a no no :nono: |
$16k or so... After I sold most of my shit I am down to like $8k or something like that.
|
3K for the car, another 5K since (mostly used parts) and about 3K looming on the horizon with the 1.8 setup.
|
Why think about how much? Like I say to my wife, better than blowing the money on drugs, girls, or gambling. It's a hobby like any other.

Car was $7600 with turbo setup, stereo, wheels and built motor.
6ULs w/Azenis was just over a $1k i think I can truthfully say I'm in my car for less than $11k including full coverage insurance over the past 1.5 yrs i've had it. I still need: AL Radiator, Oil cooler, roll bar, seats, harnesses, and full suspension upgrade. I'm out of my mind. All of that is bogus i'm paying BEGI to modify my T3 manifold for ex-wg and build be a SS downpipe. Bought some FM sways while they were discounted. Then i have a $$$ 4.10 torsen sitting on my floor. What the hell is wrong with all of us. AND I'M STILL ON STOCK SUSPENSION AA;LKSDJF;ANWEF;1!*@(*@@*( |

lol urban... it's all fun n shizznit... but how long will the drugs hold in your system till you need to buy more? after a while, there's a point of diminishing returns..... ohh, and you die faster too ;)
|
ahh Im at about 25k....and it looks like its worth aout 1k...sleeper ftw.
|
About $6K, not too bad for a 96M with 85K on it.
6000 car 400 roll bar 400 bf brace 75 mud flaps 75 seat 450 wheels/tires 100 brake lines 100 brake pads 600 hard top -2200 insurance claim (flying road debris, minimal damage) ----- 6000 My wife says I can't take the insurance claim off the total cost. I tell her to STFU. ... of course, there's the $180 radiator I just installed, the used Konis and FM springs for $425, oh yeah, oil temp gauge, and the Azenis waiting to go on that cost about $250. :cool: $6,900. With a $3K turbo project on the horizon. Oh well, where else can you get 10#/HP for $10K? |

I think you're just confused all around. Usually when people want to sell a car they don't go out and buy all new suspension for it.
also, i really hope i will get a good fat bonus from my work this weekend. then miata stays :)) |
the tally that really bothers me is the wasted spending the $20 here for this, the $5 here for that. that shit adds up and it's ridiculous.
