What do you guys have into your cars?

[USAlx50]

my car is cheap and slow, without much money into mods..

A lot of your $$$ in mods is towards cool shit like the brakes, susp, and rearend which might not show up as much in #'s but make the car complete and badass

[walied]

true most of these mods wont add any power

[theduckylittle]

Lots of parts into the MESS, total of about $2300-2400 depending on "market value" of a couple things I found for free. Without "market value" inflations some where around $1700-1800.

If I consider the new Capri an extenion of the MESS project then it'll be about $4G's. Including the purchase of the car, the planned cage, planned paint, and new header.

On Edit: Both costs include the purchase of the cars...

Counting wheels and tires I probably have about 3 grand into my car right now. Not too bad.

True most of those mods will not do anything for power but it does make a nice foundation for a huge stroker with a power adder in the near future and that was/is my plan. Build the foundation and then buile the power plant and do it the right way since i will keep this car forever.

I'm with you but I don't think I'll ever make my car very fast. I'm just doing stuff that makes it more fun to drive, like coilover.. shifter.. exhaust. Just enjoying daily driving it is my real only goal. I don't have the bank roll to make it fast and reliable.

I think with repairs, mods, wheels and such I have around 7K total.

That's the smart way. Unfortunately, most people start at the other end (been guilty of that myself in the past).

I have about $1k into the 'Bird, including the wheels/tires. $0 into the motor.

like 18 grand....

sarcasim.. *shrug* dunno how much, but too much, i belive its around...

[Stormwalker]

Everything all said and done, I believe I have right around $6000 in my car (including the purchase price of course). Oh shit, I just bought heads, make that about $6500. I will probably end up spending another $1000 on motor stuff this year. Maybe it will be faster than my girlfriends Volkswagon finally.

Edit: Eh, I forgot about some suspension and tire purchases, I guess I have more like $7000 - $7500, I would have to look at some reciepts to be sure.

*NX 20920-10

Eh?

[JPD0244]

Witohout labor, around 5k. Looking to make that much more. Will see tho.

[USAlx50]

Eh?

nitrous express I think?

[Video_Master]

Including the price of the car and the tranny rebuild I currently have about 9K into it. Now if I get my front coilovers and power rack and pinion steering that will put me to 14K.
