How much money have you spent modifying your car?

[xNotoriousGQx]

When I thought about this, I realize I spent alot of money modifying my car and still not satisifed with it. I mostly wasted my money buying parts that I will evetually replace with better parts. So far, I went through three sets of wheels, two body kits and other parts that I didn't want anymore in the long run.

*sigh* let's just say that I could have had my engine swap already if I didn't put in my system! &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

hey, got some rims to hook up? it's almost impossible to find some good 114.3x4 bolt pattern w/ the +35mm offset the silvias are suppose to have...

I think for this message board that scale is too low, considerigna swap itself costs anywhere from 3K-15K (depending on if you buy one of those Tomei or JUN engines, cost a pretty penny).

I have spent $0.00 but lots of time. I dont have a car yet but I plan on buying a car for about 3k then getting an engine swap 5k-6k (a shop will do it). Then plenty of JUN products, body kits (3K, painted), Rims and suspension (3K) and plenty of other mods. and thats just for one car

[LanceS13]

I've spent somewhere aroung $2500 so far, but by the end of summer it'll probably be closer to $8K.

If you are going to do an engine swap anyways, then why don't you just get a car with a blown motor for like $500. &nbsp;You can look on autotrader.com for one close to your mechanic and have it towed straight there. &nbsp;You'll save about $2500 &nbsp; <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

I agree. I got mine fer the low, low price of $250 with a blown engine, lots of dents and other thangs wrong with it. So far I've spent about $4800 on it and look at it now (http://www.all_bout_chris.homestead.com). If yer gonna swap the engine anyway then I'd look fer one with a bad one and save sum bucks!

under a G so far, but still working on it. i wish i would win the lottery already

[Jeff240sx]

Dude! &nbsp;I voted a month ago, and I feel that I should be able to change my vote. &nbsp;I put less than $1k.
But... I have just spent a lot of $$$, and didn't include my $3000 system. &nbsp;I'm up to about $7.2K so far!
