R34NRG Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 (edited) after spending another 3k on bits here and there i wondered to myself exactly how much i have spent on my car. with even more mods on the way i would be pushing over close to 35k. sounds so stupid now that i think about it, with all this money i coulda done something maybe a bit more worth while? then again that turbo spool convinces me ive done the right thing lol. how bout u guys? and no this does not include FINES!!! or PARKING TICKETS!!!

Modena Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Bought the car for just under 18 K in early 2006, spend around $1100 on mods since... Im happy with the car now so no more mods... period. Buying a house and investing the left over money is much more important to me than getting more KWs.

BAMR33 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Probably about 8k for me, but I'd like to think I got the best possible result out of what I have spent. I know I could have spent a lot more to get the same result if I didn't do the research and labour myself.
