The "How much did you spend" thread

[suprra_girl]

wow some of you have definitely spent money!!! Others have been lucky and bought cheap and had to do naff all hehe

I bought mine originally for $1200usd not running bhg on its way once i got it running lol
Raced for a year at the dragstrip & blew another bhg, pulled her off the road, then my mum stole my turbo and intercooler piping so i went aftermarket stuff to what it ended up today

So i would say i've probably put $10kusd in those 3 years so $11200 to date with an easy 250rwkw/335rwhp on 8psi

$1200 for the car, $70 for the trailor, $250 in gas to tow it home,$4.99 for thin walled 14mm 12point socket to remove head. lots more to be spent soon!

 

[Nick Stonawski]

i got all of u beat! cant give an exact number. but not including what i did with my old 87, im well over $40k into the '89!

u may call BS. but every year i do something drastically different to the car and it adds up FAST!! thousand here thousand there. 2005 alone i spent close to $20k on the swap, wheels, interior and body work!!!


so can someone beat $20k in one year? (of course doesnt include gas and shit)

or $40k+ total since owned? :naughty:



ya i know i should feel like an idiot cause i will NEVER see half of that when i sell her!


GOTTA PAY TO PLAY!!!

 

[IJ.]

Easily beat that..... :biglaugh:
(on all counts)

 

[SupraMario]

I dont like these threads. lol they get me counting up the cost.
$2100 for my 87
$600 for my 89
$400 for adr rims and tires!
$550 for toyo tires on my sawz
$250 for momo hub/wheel
$180 for fixing my tint so i can actually see out the back of the car ><
$800 for Tein SS coilovers
$2500+ for regular maintenances over the years maybe more

So not a ton, but I've got 10k saved up now to spend on my 2jz swap >< Here it goes.

Its crazy how much the pirce has gone down in 10 years.

 

[87mgte]

bought the car for $1200 this September, and i've put like $600 into it since then, with intake, bov, and maintenance. with the rs*r cat-back i'm getting for Christmas (hopefully), i'll have a total cost of around $2300 spent within 3 months including cost of the car. with a dishwashing job and only working 3 days a week, i think i'm doin alright.

 

[MKIIINA]

car - $5000 back in 04 i think
upgrades ~5500 or so and worth every damn penny.

and guys dont add it all up, it just makes you wonder where all that money went sometimes....

 

[MK3Brent]

Also remember $$$ spent will increase if you're PAYING someone else to do it...

Some of us have saved thousands from the total number by doing the labor ourselves.

$400 for paint.
$1300 for head work.

Next year, I'm planning to spend as little money as possible.

I have other things I want to do next year other than spending the majority of my income on poopra stuff.

It's already got 400hp potential as soon as I get off my ass and tune it. That's enough for me.

 

[Rajunz]

$8,500 when I bought it in '98

40,000 miles later as my wife's daily driver, I took it off the road to restore it and put another $12,000 in it.
