I have had mine for over 5 years and I have spent around $1500 on maintenance/tuneups. With the money I have saved on mods, I bought myself another toy.

 

6k is very easy to get to i think. I would guess 15k would be a more logical "top" amount.

 

Just upgrades alone on my FC i have roughly 16,000. 93' 13b-rew half bridge, polished T04R q trim 1.15a/r, Greddy 3row FMIC, Haltek e6k, Kyoy radiator, UIM/ALT/LIM/TB/FRONT COVER/Thermostat housing/IC Piping and a bunch of other **** polished, FD Brakes, Custom Downpipe, Racing beat turbo back exhaust minus the dp, 9lb flywheel, ACT Street Strip w/ heavy duty plate, KGPARTS Fuel Kit E w/1680 injectors, Fresh Jet Black Paint with pearl clear, Tokico 5 ways, eibach prokit, defi gauges, chromoly axels, kazz lsd, Water injection

and a bunch of other little stuff

These cars are damn expensive but too much fun

 

just over 6k in reliebility mods and some other stuff, and i have only driven the car about 2500 miles

 

I clicked on $6000.00 + assuming it said $60,000.00+. I saw the results and thought no way 200+ people have spent over 60 grand!

 

Nope, we're in a league of our own.

 

8 or 9 months I have spent about 10k-11k, and I have 3 aftermarket pieces! and same engine!

its all fixer upper stuff

1.) radiator- 450
2.) exhaust-450
3.) stereo revamp- 550
4.) Radiator Fans+shroud-2300 from dealership
5.) installation of that stuff-700
6.) random hose fixits-600
7.)Body Damage/getting panels repainted-2500
8.) New clutch/fuel system fixit-1600
9.) Suspension fix- 1000
10.) Fixing interior plastic-500

thats it! quite sad But I'm getting a vacuum hose job this monday! and bam my car is running great until the engine blows! AND ITS STILL STOCK! W/ 11k INVESTED! makes me so sad

aftermarket parts= HKS superdrager exhaust

radiator
act clutch

Slowly but surely I'm getting this done!

 

That we are. I often wonder who actually has more money invested into the car, me or you? Without counting actual tools purchased for the car, I think it would be pretty close. Considering I had to do my project 2.5 times, and you seem to have done the same thing. You may have the edge on me.

 

Unless you're hiding a few gold bricks under your seats, I'm pretty sure I do.

 

well at least you 2 had projects worth spending money on

one a 3 rotor monster and another a v8 monster..

i envy you guys

 

spent 3K on my car since the buy ... in september 2004.

Max

 

In the two years I've owned my car I've spent just over $25K in mods, maint, engine, etc. All the receipts are in a file, a big file. My new wife wishes I loved her half as much...lol We were dating when I bought my FD and she said it's been down hill ever since!

 

Is it just me or are the hcoices way too low? should be more like 0-1000/ 1000-3000/ 3000-6000/ 6,000-12,000 / 12,000- 25,000 / 25 +. Lets see myself, i spent 4k rebuild, 3k rebuitl transmission, 2k body kit, 2k engine work/perforamcne/reliability. so 11k

 

Inheritted a 94 FD from my brother for $10.5K...car is all original with 52k miles. So far we spent $2700.00 for a set of CCW & 17" tires.

Planning to spend another $3K by fall 05...looking for 275 rwhp...

 

Much too low, considering what a Power FC and a good-sized intercooler cost. Hell, just wheels and tires alone puts me in the highest available category.

 

havent had the car for that long...and already 3K and counting

 

6 motors... fully built
1 t-78 greddy turbo
1 t-88 greddy turbo
full carbon fiber front end
every aftermarket thing you can think of


i think after the cost of the car and all the hours i put in on it, it , in my mind is worth well over 75k
