[Poll] How much have you spent on your FD in the past year?

This doesn't include gas or car washes, but DOES include parts and labor for maintenance, mods, repairs, and upgrades. Please only vote if you have been using your car on a semi-regular basis or more often for the past year, no cars in storage and no track-only cars please. Happy voting .

Well considering I just bought all the stuff for my single turbo and got all my fuel upgrades in May. I'm well into the 3000-5000 range.

Just curious... how did you manage to spend almost $16,000 on a "custom stereo" in a car the size of the RX-7?
