up to $1500 after 4 months. Working on paying it off.

 

Wow some of u are big spenders LOL.

I just totalled up mine = $1700 + more in shipping costs/tax...in less than 2 1/2 months since I got my Z! and there is SOOO much more to come.

 

exhaust, plenum spacer, HFC's, flip up screen, touge's, kdw2's, labor...
1000 1000 400 1000 800 (included)
$4200

 

Very true. We enjoy showing the car and have won numerous trophies. Many overall best of show at judged local shows. We especially enjoy making it look different from all the other cars and zs.

We would love to be able to compete with Rogue350z, BamBam, and the other fabulous cars at the national shows. We are not in their league at this point in time. We may never be in their league.

Right now, it is all about having fun with the car and meeting lots of new and interesting people. We are realists and will only put so much money in the z. We try to get the most bling for our $.

By the way we don't live in the z. lol The z is only driven to and from shows and for special events.

 

At this point...6k..and ive had it ohhhhhhhh 2 months

 

I thought I was the only one doing the spreadsheet. I log everything except gas. I'm at $5800 on every mod, cleaning supplies, install fees. I must stop

 

with labor and parts (not including the car), $39,651.14 and still climbing.

 

You guys forgetting to get rid of the old ecu or at least replash on a dyno, why u ask ? stock ecu is desinged with efficiency in mind , not performance, 50 hp gain by replacing and tunning the new ecu with all stock parts. do the math. think of it like this.

a stock windows computer with stock drivers for the hardware when there are high persormance hardware install on the computer = ****ty performance. Now install the performance drivers and it makes all the difference. Same goes for the ecu firmware. When u add mods the firmware has to be updated to ues the perf gains the mods were purchased for in the first place.

u c hardware upgrade= software ( firmware ) upgrade.


each peice u add , re program the ecu firmware to adapt to the new configuration.

I dont see anyone posting about this and that is a shame.

can u smell what the ecu is cookin


goto a dyno shop , upgrade the firmware and re post with gains.


you maybe suprised what happends, also remember to use wide band sensors , they sample faster and are more acurate.

I installed all the parts except ecu then had ecu and dyno,

wow i said wow wtf i could not beleive it, u sure this is my car, what did u do, omfg slow down, holy shttt did u add nitrous
, no sir just tuned is correctly

 

just about $17000 on mods

 

my car is not even 2 months old and i already spend close to $6,000 with the rims, tires suspension plus labor for all the work! thats why im so broke rite now!LOL( but atleast im not using it on drugs or gambling!)

 

Hrm. Only mod I've got put on is the body kit. so thats 1500 +800, then all the stuff Ive bought since I've been here, but havent been installed yet. Exhaust, springs, tires, rims.
WOW.. just realized, 4k and I havent even installed most of my stuff yet. Still need intake, hood, and spoiler. Maybe I wont be home in November after all. =P

 

too much that i lost count 8gs?

 

I think we need to close this thread. It's too depressing.

 

No offense bro, but there is NOW WAY you are making 400hp (not even crank hp) with those mods without being boosted or running nitrous... Not gonna happen.

I was running stock Greddy kit (6psi)w/ F-Con, tuned and still only making like 370whp..

 

dang that must be lookin nice cuz i remmber wasteing about 5k when i had my subaru sti i havent wasted anything on my Z yet im hoping i can get atleast about 10k for some mods

 

I'm calling serious bull**** on this one!

I've spent around $1000 on my car. I am in awe of some of the numbers I am seeing in this thread. If I had that kind of cash lying around, I'd buy a house and go to racing school

 

I've spent more on one set of tires, than all the other "mods" combined...but I promised the wife I'd be good...so I'm trying to do that.

EDIT: just noticed I said "all" like I have a lot of mods...well I guess its noteworthy to say that "all" includes the 06 GT wheels.

 

$300

 

Close to 40k

 

$1,505.32
