If the numbers on your poll include maintenance, you truly have no idea how much it costs to properly maintain an FD....
Hell, I'm close to $3k on just my few mods (and the PFS intake and SMIC were USED!).
If you include maintenance, almost everyone here will be in the "cashing out their IRA" category.....

I think your poll chart needs another set of zeros added...
...but guys like jimlab would probably still go over that.
This "cheaps cake" has spent about 25 grand, not even counting routine repairs.

Modding a Third Gen Rx-7 is like CRACK COCAINE &/OR HEROINE. It sucks you in and you just keep wanting more...

Well... I understimated the FD owners.... you guys must have inhereted LOTS of CASH$$$ or your job pays well($40-1000 per hour)....
either than those... your either broke all the time cuz of the FD... wearing dirty clothes and not enough money to buy food for tomorrow...
good thing the FB doesn't blow up anything that much....

Bought car in 1995 for $20K with extended warranty. they paid $11k for new motor, tranny, air pump, suspension pieces.
Since 1999 I have spent about $15K out of pocket for wheels, new paint, IC, dp, cb, roll bar, bushings, and a parts car for $2500K.
Still cheaper than a 911 or NSX .

I haven't actually spent meuch so far, but I just got a loan for 5K and am going to put out about another 3K on top of that for new motor, upgraded twins, PFC, dp, and some other goodies.
