I'm at the point where I'm wondering if it is worth it to continue fixing up my civic. I already spent a third of what the car cost to modify it and that is just with bolt ons. How much have you spent so far in relation to cost of modifying over the original cost of the car?

 

its about not $

 

i spent over 25,000 bucks. IN a 2 year period.

but yea, its about the love and not the money like the othr guysaid.

 

enough to get my b18c turbo tuned properly and the suspension tweaked to perfection

 

13,000 and car is still slow!! i should have gone with turbo instead of Supercharger.
Ohhh well

 

I would really like to stay below 10grand, including the original cost of the car, but I guess I will draw the line at 12,000....maybe.

 

i've spent around 2 grand on my swap (currently in the car)

i have a $2,000 engine sitting in my room next to me(and its still not complete)

i just got my car painted(one week old) $1400

bought new coilovers(full suspension) $400 dont ask

and bought some new circuit 8's...$425

this doesnt include all the stuff that on the car or what i've replaced...

how much is my car valued? priceless becasue its all about loving your car

Then people also have the nerve to ask why you would spend so much on a jellybean.
Cant a person have a dam hobby. I have friends that have dumped more into rc cars.

 

spent too much damn money but its my hobby and i would do and spend anything for my car


maybe i should have been a dorky chess player or something

 

i have about 12k in 1 year, all i need after i drop on the swap would be a body kit
