What is the most amount of money yuo spent on your FD? I havent spent too much yet but ive been realizeing that if i want to make my FD nice and fast its gonna take a fortune

 

I dont think any more then 6000$ anyone else have any inputs thats for everything besides the engine

 

20k+

 

Seriously save your money. Once you start to spend you can't stop or you just need to spend more money to get it perfect. Its fun modding the 7 but fu*k, it kicks you in the *** later. This is because i spend all my money on my car, i just dont have any to be spending.

 

I just got an FD about 4 months ago, and dropped 2k so far in pursuit of the perfect 7. It all depends on what you want out of your 7.

 

Ive already spent about 15K just on the engine mods, i still need ot get it painted and detailed, coilovers, wheels all that crap. damn i dont know thats SOO much money

 

Since I bought the car about 2.5 years ago Ive spent almost 8k on it.

But the car had roughly 10k in receipts when I bought it and another 10k in undocumented mods.

 

I bought my 7 last november. I'v put allmost 15k INTO it since then.

 

$10k and counting...

 

$15k

 

all money spent on rebuilds? or just things you wanted to put on it?

 

Purchase Price $ 13,546
2005 $ 5,240
2006 YTD $ 2,884

It's a beautiful car, but high maintenance !

MAN! you guys make me not wanna by this car! the guy iam geting it from already spent 6gs on the rebuild and stuff...so iam hoping i wont have to spend anything on it for a while. Unless its aftermarket things i want.

 

Puchase Price: $13,000
Maintaince: $11,000 with more to come---car's in the shop again

Haven't owned it a year yet.

 

Just to maintain? WOW

 

12,000 for the car
9,000 for mods and etc and still have lots more coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I stopped keeping track a few years ago, but last month was a big one, Paint job, motor, tranny, BNR's, Fuel system, Power fc.........$12,210

 

2004 - $10.5K 94 MB PEP
2005 - $2.5K CCWs & Tires
2006 - $3.7K Apexi intakes, Greddy SMIC, R1 strut bar, AST, HKS DP, RB DT, Defi gauges, Apexi PFC, Tune session, H&R, Bilstein shock/strut.

Still have $1.3K left for 2006; alum radiator & ACT/Flywheel replacement.

Total: $18K...not bad at all. Would have put that much down for a new C6 with 800/mth payment.

What matter the most is I like the end result...life is too short.

Enjoy while can.

 

I almost lost my thumb to the FD today (fabricating parts).

That would have been pretty expensive.

 

You haven't had anything break yet. You haven't spend real money til things start breaking.

 

Amen brother, and don't ever forget it.

 

Purchase price 18 months ago= $12,000.00
money spent since then on mods/repairs= $13,000.00

 

I know...I spent close to $40K into my 1994 Cobra.

A budget has been set aside in case the 7 need some sort of major repair. It's a toy, hardly see 1000 miles per year. Not because I don't drive it, just not having enough time.

 

Bought in 1999 for 15,000, and I must of had a lemon car,have Shop reciept that total 30,000 thank god for my aftermarket warrenty, i only had to pay a fraction of it.

Plus 6000 in mods

Now it's sitting with a blown motor, so here' comes another 5000

 

94 R2 nearly mint condition w/63k miles = $19,000
$8,000 in receipts when bought

now coming up to around the $20k mark since I have owned it since 01'..and still need more, more, more .... once you start its hard to stop making it your perfect car but its all for the love of this car..not everyone can appreciate that....
