The car itself put me at -$36k, the amount on top with mods only makes me sad.

 

Last week, last month, last year ?????????????????????

 

Too much, but not enough.

 

This spring I'll be at 25 k plus.. Not including Wat I paid for it back in 06....

I got a feeling this wont be the end!

 

this thread makes dikspiel cry but i think i am in or near the 40's at this point

 

I stopped keeping track on my spreadsheet at around $60k.

 

Looks like i need to start hunting for a new job, holy **** lol

 

If you count all 3 sets of wheels and a blown transmission, I'm over $100k! I know there are a few others on here at the 6-figure mark.

 

crazy guys crazy

around $4k for me in 9 months.

 

Got 08 5 months ago...since:
Cat Back..$800
Osiris...$500
Rear SB..$160
Used Nismo S Tune shocks/springs...$600
Wheels/Tires...$1400
DONE!

 

Good luck with that.

 

HEHEHE...
ya.... but FI is the only real thing left and I'm not goin' *there*...FIed
another car and then you turn into a boost junkie...no gonna do it this time, since unfortuneately, I'm one of those

 

I was not going to mod mine at all. 18 months later I have replaced everything mechanical but the engine & transmission and the engine & clutch will be gone soon.

 

Lol what do you spend 100k on? Or is it multiple setups over the years?

Bolt ons are like $5k max, FI you could say $5,000 - $20,000+?, wheels and suspension $2,000 - $10,000? Misc $5,000 - ..... 40-50K max... only a couple of cars I have ever seen on this forum are super baller like that.

I need to win the lottery it seems like or inherit some money.

My total is right around $5,000

 

I've spent $29,000 and I'm not even FI ...... YET..!

 

Bought the car last month and $6K well spent so far..

 

Yeah, going FI isn't $5-20k when you go big. Getting to 700whp isn't exactly the same as throwing a cheap turbo on the car. Here's the mod list, if you're curious:
