How much have you spent?

[JoeyOKC]

I know this is a personal question, but I'm closing in on the $6,000 mark and don't even have a running vehicle. lol. This is including purchasing everything from the turbo components to building the motor. I figure I have at least a couple grand left to come up with including tuning.

[EJ1 SCRAPPIN]

theres's already one of these polls search n you'll find it

Last time I added it all up without tuning I was at around 5500....my ass hurts everytime I think of it because I have nothing that is very spectacular nor flashy sucks for me oh well live and learn I guess

[jimmyb34]

ive spent to much.... not counting my old turbo build... im right under 10k on the new setup... if you count my old setup then close to 13k

True indeed most people have no idea my motor is built its funny. Car looks like shit but runs like a raped ape

[guest]

over the years all the money I've put into my car, with all the motors and shit, I hope it's not more then $3000.

I'm bad with accounting, I couldn't tell you how much I put into my current rebuild or my turbo setup.

[*VX-Bubble*]

man i trade cars and shit so much that im in like -3500 atleast
meaning i made that much of workin on my cars lol.

On my DD I got about ~650 or so into it including tires since i bought it in January, (mods in sig) and it actually RUNS! Not GREAT being a stock basically stock d15, but it runs.

My "drag car" I have about oh god 5-6 k into it and it doesnt even idle. Ugh.

[LoSt GhoSt]

About $600. Have everything to get it running. Except for a turbo cam. Still need all my suspension done as well.

I don´t want to think about the money I spent on my hatch, but a lot of money, for me.

And I have to get bigger injectors, and maybe a bigger turbo on december.

And this week I have to paid the balance on the paint job,

but about 6K maybe more

[19coupe95]

i paid 500 bucks for my civic and put about 1500 into it its a hell of alot cheaper if you do it yourself.

[Fr0z3N]

I'm at around $15,000.

[mrfunktastic]

lol wow u guys dont deal hunt. i am at about 2200 with fully built z6 tt rods and vitara pistons. all IC piping and IC. injectors, bov, wastegate. full tunign software including chipped p28 with hulog. runnign crome. lc1 wideband. add 1000 if u include the cost of the car. and it runs and drives perfect. idle is smooth. doing it yourself saves lots of money.

[Hugo Boost]

just on my tranny and cam I spend +1K, spring/retainers 250 , turbo/ic/bov/wg +1.25K.

I dont know guys, how do you do, to have so cheap setups

[JoeyOKC]

I'm a do-it-yourselfer. I've done everything myself except the machine work. One hurdle I'm having to overcome is the fact that I bought a shell with no motor/trans/axles/shift linkage/mounts/etc and I'm having to come up with all the little things including nuts and bolts. I basically started out in December with a 91 si shell and a d16y8 block and head with a spun rod bearing.

There is a little light at the end of the tunnel though. As of Friday, I'm no longer a Ford technician. Start at Honda tomorrow. More pay, better benefits and a nicer shop. Not to mention access to all the little things I will need.

Complete Crower Valvetrain and camshaft $600 ($500)
Hondata s300 in p28 $595 + ecu and chip ($700)
Precision 680cc injectors that i'm not going to use $300 ($175 barely used)

When I say that, I'm including the cost of car, rims, interior, bodywork and previous turbo setups and previous blown parts.

[Hugo Boost]

and previous blown parts

ooops, I also have to include my 2 blown engines.

[Boosted-EH-804]

If I where to do another D I could do it for half the price this one cost me. Made a few high dollar mistakes on my first build.
