Just wondering how much people in the BAIC have spent on modifying their cars. Mine is stock, but I know my girl has spent quite a bit on hers (as well as my money). I've seen some damn nice cars around here too.

 

got my current suby used and all the mods came with the car... i only spent about $50 on parts from Speed Element, which I have yet to install!

 

around 7500 and it is putting down great numbers and has a sick suspension.
just need new brakes soon, and front sway bar and endlinks.

 

$360 yakima roof rack
$6.99 plasti-dip (painted center console pieces)
$40 stock 06 WRX single tip exhaust
$8 LED super bright license plate lights
$45 H7 Osram Nightbreakers +90 low beam bulbs
$590 AVIC D3

 

Hehe, Suzanne has spent a lot on hers, but thing is, we've had that since late 04, when they were still developing parts for the sti, and since suzanne is always on the cusp of the mods, we would buy something, and like 2 months later, they'd have an improved version. We had an ecutek, ap v1, and ap v2, and I'm sure when the v3 comes out, she'll have that too.

 

like 7k

 

the 2-3months i've had my car i'd say around 2500.. getting tuned soon so i can add 900 after that.

 

bunch of baller!

 

I'd say we've probably spent around 8 or 9, but that's including her stereo and ipod, two sets of tires, complete brake job, tunes up the ying yang, engine parts, coilovers, clutch job, etc.

 

spent 7 months in a tax free zone and did not have to pay rent.

 

uhm... $24,660

 

modifying??? r u surrrious?

 

According to Excel I'm at $7856 mostly exterior and interior parts =(

Thats not adding the many gaskets and oil changes I've done.

 

I LOVE these threads, it's where I get to remind myself how I stopped giving a crap.



initial vf30 setup: ~3000 all said and done
swap to 2.5 block, to cams and back: ~$6000
go to all various supporting mods, bigger turbo: ~$5000 (probably more... cause I did go through 3 sets of injectors and two different TGV deletes, and three turbos, and like 3 different turbobacks. This includes all other power mods like alky injection too)
New tranny and clutch (thus far): ~$3000
wheels and tires throughout the years (thus far): ~$3000
suspension goodies throughout the years: ~$3000


And then regular maintenance costs and a bunch of other misc crap. Like engine and tranny mounts - those actually cost some money
paying mechanics to fix crap that broke: prolly a few thousand

Jebus I'm coming up > $20k on modding alone.


And then 24,500 for the car OTD

 

Not sure what my exact number is, but about $4500. Coilovers, brakes, rear drum to disc, 2 sets of wheels, tires, misc.
