How much have you spend on your car lately??

[amolao]

Ok, maybe an old topic but I this month I spend on my car:

$1,155 (Kashin!!) dollars on my car. Whats the largest amount of money that you have spend on your car in a small amount of time??...lets say a couple of weeks or a month.....Man! my wife is going to kill me :o ...Well my ride is been in good shape just a little "routine maintenance" :doh:
The fact that my AC system needed repair and just order the 180SX tailights, really inflates this amount, I save a lot of money with a few of my "sponsors": Ebay and Advance Auto Parts.... :o :o Things done:
new shocks
new springs
new AC compressor/valve/dryer
tie rods innner/outer
TC rods
new kouki taillight kit


Phew!! oh and SR20 engines swap do not apply!!! I hate you all!!! :cry: :cry:

[Naro182]

timing chain replaced : 1400 (had shop do it)
tune-up : 200 (oem plugs, rotor, rotor cap, fuel filter, wipers,
spark plugs, etc...)
still needed: 80 (oxygen sensor and seafoam)

so in the last month or so ive spent about 1600 dollars on my car. The worst part is this is only mantainence stuff, im itching to spend money on suspension...

[Zemus]

2 events 150 for both= 150$
Tires getting put on=90$
Tires (new) = 210 (215/50/15s)
Gas= 45$ total this week or so..

so.. 495$ and I have new tires to show for it, and some pics :-D

[aznpoopy]

this month?
rotors, pads, lines, fluid, rear calipers = $300-$350
torque wrench, crows foot socket set = $80!!! GRRrrrrrrr
timing gun = $70 argggHHHH

total = $450ish. that's really not so bad.

[TheSnail]

$ 9,380 in mods in the past 3 weeks. Im sure I will be finished and on the road in 2 weeks, probably with a total bill of about 11k for the past month.
-Snail

[TheSnail]

Oh, add 150$ I forgot about the Calipers.

[KiDyNomiTe]

[Hawd]

i spent like 575 bucks on some new tires last week. Had to buy some tools and oil change fuel filter change tune up stuff. I bought a shift knob off of nismo skyline the other day so I spent close to about 700 bucks these past 2 weeks.

[Drunk Bastard]

Tein He's, a couple Cusco bars, spacers and allignment. So about $1700 or so in the last 2-3 weeks....I still need to buy zx brakes, a couple tires, and tension rods.

[Drunk Bastard]

oh, and kouki lights....so like 1900 :eek3:

[focused]

not really recent but...

$3000 for a clip
$400 to ship it
$100 misc
$100 3" turbo extension
$150 3" downpipe
$40 1G DSM BOV (clip didnt have one, cheap alternative)

something like $3790 for the swap.

then more recently, after a lady pulled out in front of me..

around $7800 to fix the damages.. myself and my dad did the work, and decided to throw a s15 front on it... luckily insurance covered it. body shop quotes, to fix it back to factory were ~$12,000

so my car has received about $11,590 within the last several months...

Almost depressing.

[Andrew Bohan]

i got new pistons for $130
then i'm getting a new motor for $300 this week (i hope)
and some other random motor-swap goodies to come

[fastpace]

too damn much, I have spent about 2k in one month in the spring to buy turbo stuff. And just finished with it, but have to fix the bugs keeps the total added. I don't know about yall, but I am tired of spending money.

[TheSnail]

Its very stressing for me since I dont have a job, but keep that on the DL

[Brian]

$263 - a pair of new tires.

i think the most i spent on my car in a single time was $850.


poop.

[pruto]

Zemus i got you beat =)
last month:

$120 for just drift irwendale
$150 for two days of DD17 and DC2
$110 for just drift buttonwillow (future)
$125 for drift day advanced (future)
$200 for D1 driver search (future)
$200 or so for used tires so far (rears)
$250 for new front es100s

so thats about $1200 (not even including gas) with nothing but tires to show for it... and one picture from mrmigs =p

but i've learned a lot. I'm very happy with the setup of my car right now, need some small stuff, and need more power. but mods can always wait, its all about having fun, learning new skills and most importantly using the car that i've spend thousands modding.

[stock240_1980]

Here is my list for the month of july.
$700 for a new se coupe shell
$300 for a set of used wheels
$495 for a set of yok es100's
$57 for mounting and balancing tires
$750 for s13 silvia front end
$250 for a JDM Apexi GT Spec exhaust
$600 for new suspension setup
$150 for random shit to finish the car swap up.
