I am sure you all have sat around with a calculator before and added up all the hard earned dollars that have been dumped into your ride.....I personally have $6055.00 tied up in my current project...Count the other $4759.00 worth of parts that got carried over from previous cars, that brings the grand total for me up to $10814.00..........So, lets hear it phellas...


WARNING!!!!!Doing this may cause a few tears to your eyes!!!But it was all worth it........Right????

 

I'm rolling up on $5000 for everything, including the car itself. I'm about to go to my third engine/transmission/clutch/turbo/manifold combo, this incarnation even looks somewhat professional.

My boy Travis just dropped $12K on his, in addition to the $4000 he spent on his Integra, and should have it running by Tuesday or Wednesday. His feelings got kinda hurt when I pointed out midway through a $8K build that at 425 whp he'd have the power to weight of my CRX at 260 whp, so he dropped all sorts of money on a Quaife, some BFG drag radials that stick out of his wheel wells by 3", etc.

Unfortunately the swap is in, but the turbo kit isn't...I still need to buy some 550cc injectors, oil feed lines, greddy 52mm oil pressure and water temp guages, a few other miscellaneous parts, and finally tuning. So the money pit will probably end up being a little over $7,000. Wow...I never realized how much I spent until now Kinda scary yo!

Sometimes its not about how much you spend but if you did it right, how much fun you had, and how much you learned.

 

When I initially went to piece my kit, I intended on going the 'cheap boost' method, but as many of you know, the best intentioned plans rarely work out. I wanted to buy used parts whenever it was availiable or maybe a used pieced kit form Drag or Rev-Hard. But after a ton of researching and browsing other people's set-ups, I changed my mind big time and now buy everything new or to my own liking. Thanks alot you asses, I mean guys, for making me go deeper in debt. Heres the breakdown:

96 ek hatch with B18c completed= 12,000
LoveFab SST and downpipe used= 900
Garrett Gt28rs= 800
Greddy type 24 intercooler= 420
Apex'i Twin chamber bov= 120
Tial 38mm wastegate= 200
Hondata s200b and P28 and jumper harness= 500
Walboro pump= 100
AEM fpr= 40
piping, oil lines and fittings= 400

So far the running total plus the car is $15, 120.00 and I still need injectors, a fuel rail and tuning. Hell, it isn't even installed yet. God-dayum

 

$6800 for 95 si hatch, h22, suspension, i/h/e, slipstreams, lip

$2800 turbo kit t3/04e, lovefab shorty660s, 2.5" piping, 3" dp, wideband, gauges, uberdata so on so on

$150 Si wheels and tires

$95 Ground Control Coilovers

$175 RSX black leathers front and rears

Got the car in octoboer with bolt-ons so everythign has been done since then....not to bad...but man since i added it up almost makes me sick

 

I lost track

 

car $750
turbo and all aftermarket stuff like $6000

 

I feel as if I could have saved some money here and there, but I wanted to do the car right the first time...I have had very good luck with my car, so I cant complain too much........

 

well heres the old setup that my older brother had:

93 civic hatch

h23 block fully built by r&d dyno
h22 dohc vtec head fully built by r&d dyno
h22 trans w/ clutchmasters stage 5 clutch,lightweight flywheel,quiffe lsd

all the bolt ons:
venom manifold
venom fuel rail
rc 880 cc injectors
walbro fuel pump
aem stand alone
str throttle body
str cam gears
moroso oil pan
head gasket
arp studs

turbo setup:
custom turbo manifold
tial 46 mm wastegbate
hks ssbov
turbonetics t4 w new compressor
3 inch downpipe
thermal 3 inch exhaust
3 inch charge piping
greddy front mount

im prolly forgetting some **** but the grand total for the motor alone was $10,654 with the turbo kit!

and the car had wheels,cf hood,wing,full suspention, and nice interior.

i have just totaled up the reciepts and it came out to be a grand total of:$19,876

 

I am not sure on the exact cost, but I have been working since I was 15, bought the car when I was 16, and now I'm 17. I bought the car for $7k, and at the time I had $3k saved. Within a few weeks that $3k was gone (I don't know how, but it was waisted on my car) And since then, I have probally added another $5k worth of parts. And I still didn't even buy my turbo parts yet!!!

i get depressed everytime i think about how much i have spent . after i wrecked my old turbo integra i wanted to build somethign that was complete from the motor , interior , to the exterior . since i knew i was going to take the car completely apart i didnt see any reason to go out and dump a **** load of money on a running car . i found a 98 gsr shell in a wrecking yard and picked that up . well that was almost 2 years ago !

some mods....
98 gsr shell - 1200

same here! Im guessing I dropped 30 g's (canadian) on the motor I stopped counting after 20 hahaha

 

But alot of us can beat cars costing 2-3 times the $$$$

 

parts only including all motor parts before deciding to go turbo probly around 12-13k not including tires, slicks, brakes, suspension. With car and those parts probly around 20-22k more with labor.
