How much have you spent on performance?
Hello,
How much have you spent on performance? What are your mods? How much horse power? Thank you. Dennis... |
does this have to be 3rd gen specific? ;)
|
All rotary's are welcome! ;D
|
well ok then, heh.

almost forgot lighting, add in a couple hundred for HIDs and a couple hundred more for S5 tails and a few hundred more for the S5 interior swap which is still in progress of completing the list of parts needed.

Very little. So far, most everything has been aimed more at reliability, mostly in the cooling system and maintanance. As far as hp, whatever the K & N, a DP and addition of a decent cat-back brings over stock.
|
Not much. Pretty much reliable mods only. New AST, Fluidyne radiator, Viton hoses, DP, mod. intake. Oh yeah, and very reliable car if I may add. Also running 10-8-10 boost.
|
Way too much...Bought the car with a blown motor, and hundreds of other problems. Last time I checked I was somethin like 8K plus the initial buy price... Mods are in sig..The mods werent necessairly the most expensive part though...Its the little miscelaneous things that add up.

Performance??? Heck, i've spent a few grand just to keep her running!
But seriously, i bought my car with most of the mods already done. All i had to do was go in and track down all the little electrical problems and such. But all the little stuff will cost you just as much as the high cost performance parts will, in the long run. That's fo sho. But the end result is that i have a reliable daily driver with about 350hp at the motor. Definately worth it. |
um 13k for the car have 13k into it and still doesn't move under its own power. Wait whats tha point of this again? O yeah I am an idiot!
|
i bought gas ..now it runs real good!!!..wouldn't start before!...(couldn't help it!..uh...No upgrades..all stock..)
|
I just added up $18,400 worth of maintanence performance items...woah!! I didn't need that info, that is for sure. So depressing...car still isn't finished, I don't drive it cause it needs tuning, and there is still a clunk sound when transitioning from partial throttle to no throttle...trying to build a well done, track worthy (20 weekends a year) RX7 may be the death of me!

Thanks a lot guy! didn't even realize that I had that much money into it. And that's not including cost of repairs and shit... ugh! don't wanna even think about that... I ain't driving this car anymore. Costs too damn much. Edit: but the end result is that 9K is still a very good bang for the buck as far as the wow factor concerned. |
Too much and at the same time not enough
