I was just curious how much other people spent on there rides personally I think i spent over 10g on my ef8 maybe more oh yeah and who have alot of money to pay back for loans.

 

well i had a 5g civic i had spent bout 5000.00 on plus buying the car. i just sold it like 2 weeks ago and purchased a ef hatch. so i can almost gurantee that i'll be spending much more on this one.

 

i dont owe anybody

car cost me $1650
JDM b16a1 motor swap $2000
JDM front end $550
JDM rear bumper $100
JDM tails $100
JDM RSR invidia exhaust $120
JDM 5 zigen steering wheel $FREE
Accord rims $FREE for fun
NGK wires $50
Bosch Platinum +4 plugs $FREE


Being a JDM freak...Priceless

 

I would estimate that i have spent about $2k on my crx since I got it in july. I am going to be swaping in a zc next month, and going turbo sometime next year. That should set me back at least $3k. I have been trying to save a little so I can get a 5 gen hatch then go wild.

 

my mom sponsership ended quite a ways back but she still helps me not with my car but i just spend it on my car.

 

car = 1400
motor = 2200
swap = 600
all other motor stuff = 900
stock suspension still

much more to come...
...damn need a drink now

 

i decided i'd rather not have all my mods listed up here. i've spent a few grand and will spend quite a few more grand in the coming months/years. i'll leave it at that

I've spent too much on mine....I don't want to know!

 

I am building a street racer out of my 1990 Civic DX. The car was gutted in March of this year and got painted with Buddy Club and Wings West ground effects put on. The antenna was shaved, for this car will not have a stereo system. The engine was pulled prior to going into the body shop. I am looking at having a LS Vtec hybrid motor built along with a stage 3 turbo installed. Well just wanted to show you guys that I am the stupidest one.

(1999)Car - $1900
(2000)Accident(plpd, fixed out of my pocket) - $2300
(2001)Paint & Bodywork - $3800
(2001)Ground effects(bought 2 sets of SS) - $1000
(2001)New parts from Honda - $1000

Total - Roughly $10,000 And that's just for the exterior of the car!

 

Daaayum REVSWIN, you car BETTER look good! Hehehe, have any pics?

 

yeah, too much to list...

 

Well I do have some pics but I don't know how to transfer them onto this thread. I'll figure something out. This is what the car looked like in March, but looks completely different now that it is painted and I added Wings West skirts and caps.
