89Turbo944

Ive spent alot on mine over the past year. I have rebuilt the engine, new turbos, and the rest of the money went into suspension and related areas. My thinking is if i can make it outhandle most FD's then when i add HP i will be dam quick.

That so came out wrong but i dont want to change it. Brain no workie right now

Who spent a lot on your car?

rotary-tt

$400 R1 oil coolers. That's it

Rotarded

I don't really wanna add it up but when I bought it, in late July 2002, the only mods were the shocks and springs. See sig below:

TwinTriangles

Power FC/Commander, tuning, HKS Bov, Hks Twin power, AVC-R, ACT Clutch, FMIC, 1300cc inj., Supra fuel pump, new water pump, Greddy elbow, Koyo Rad... Too much Id say & now my twins are going and I want to go with the GT35/40...

rotoryspeeddreamz

2-3k on mods
3k on new paint job
4-5k on major maintainance and difficult to install parts

kind of sad when i break it down because ive spent so much just getting the car in good running condition and not so much on modding it

I have never totaled it all up but a new engine, clutch, flywheel, catback, aluminum radiator, downpipe, shocks and springs, wheels and tires has got to put me in the 5-10 category. Reading that list really hurts deep down in my bank account.

How much do you drive your car?

i bought my car 4 years ago, so that $21k doesn't count, but i've put in over $25 in modifications/labor. about $19k of it in the last 6 months. i would say just about everything, but then you find out more stuff you need/want. i'm almost in $50k i guess. just taking it one modification at a time, well, trying to at least. i pick it up today finally, i havn't been able to drive it since my motor went out in april, but now i'm tuned and ready to really drive it again. too bad its snowing...

fdslave_g

approximately 2631USD for 6apex i broke and changind back from single turbo to stock twins

FD3RotorTurbo

iTrader: (1)

New engine, DP, MP, Cat back, boost controller, gauges, underdrive pully kit, vacuum kit, blitz intake, springs. so in the $5000-$10000 range

rotary-tt

Used to be daily but now 2-3 times/week. Does buying another daily car count? Then add about $8k for my Ram 1500. Spent $350 on it on various maintenance and about the same on our Elantra for a full brake rebuild (springs, shims, caliper rebuild, new cryo rotors, EBC greens). Little mother will stop on a dime now

Didn't really spend any money on the FD when I drove it daily except for mods and fixing broken interior pieces. (Lost the trans when I first got it but that was over a 2 yrs ago.) One mod leads to another and next thing you know it snowballs out of control

Decided this year to instead buy a rental property ($18k). Saving to do the same next year. Between these, the rental income will subsidize my 7 'habit' and allow me to get whatever mods I want with no out of pocket. Decided I can't stand (or afford) having debt anymore

DCrosby

Engine Rebuild, Rotor Houseing, Porting, AST Clutch, Flywheel, HKS BOV, Greddy Relief Valve, RE V-Mount IC/Rad/Cold Intake/Battery Kit, HKS Coilovers, Wideband, AEM ECU, X-Drilled Rotors, Short Shift Kit, Alum. AST, Defi Gauges, RE HID Kit, RE Scoot Hood)
10+ K...
And I might be forgetting some things... and others I'm doing myself, like Polishing all the Intake parts on it... etc.... I did my own Polyurathane Motor Mounts, and 90% of the stuff in that list is going in as we speak.. as part of the rebuild....

jpandes

Daily driven for 7 years.

In the last 12 months I bought some 18" rims($1,700), which forced me to buy Coil-Overs(rubbing)($550)

Then my coolant seals started to fail. I bought Mazda Reman($2,195) and sent it Pineapple for a street port, Oil mods and upgraded coolant seals($1,400)...and costs skyrocketed from there.

PFC/Commander ($988)
Datalogit ($285)
Tech Edge WB O2 ($430)
1300 cc injs. ($400)
Koyo Radiator ($330)
Evans coolant ($125)
ACT S/S Clutch ($470)
Water temp guage ($20)
Motor R&R ($1800)
5000k HID's ($340)

And the car still has issues! Fuel leak, boost issues, Emissions (can't pass CA smog legally), needs tuning(timing)

Damn, I better get back to work, so that I can pay for all this ****....

12k this year - it adds up fast

jdhuegel1

Hmm... About 12K this year. That doesn't count getting hit a few times in the for-sale section for over 2K.. oops!

**** it... As long as I spend more on my car than I do on my beer it's clear sailing.

jkisineffect

I have to say I'm a bit shocked by the results of the poll so far. I didn't think it would be so heavily weighed towards the high end of the scale, I should have just made $0-$2000 its own catagory! Clearly FD ownership is an expensive addiction, all you would-be owners consider yourself warned!
