I have the feeling this is going to turn around to one of those "you guys are dumb cause you bought a honda" things... well at least I have to give you props for spelling vtec correctly...even a lot of people who own hondas cant spell it correctly (vtech) |

wow this makes me feel bad. Car - free(handmedown), paintjob- brother n law(not counting paint so like $500). air intake, strut bar and blue hoses - my cousin. Wheels - my brother n law and parents helped with them and the paint. Exhaust - i paid for half of that which wasnt bad. And clear corners i took those when my brother n law did a conversion for some kid he put like a 00' front end on his 94 civic and since he didnt need the clear corners i confiscated them. Oh and stereo equitment was pretty much all graduation presents. I feel cheap..... someone else talk now

hmm....where to start lol
car, brand new in 00- $18,000 wheels/tires- $1,000 body kit- $900 after paint lowering kit- $400 new motor- $3,300 in depth motor work- $800 turbo system- $4,500 into all of it nitrous kit- $800 in all exhaust- $400 seats- $650 PS2- $200 5.4" flip up screen- $400 stereo receiver- $400 speakers- $250 subs- $500 amps- $800 red/clear tails- $120 tons of little misc. crap such as shift knob, painted pieces, and junk that I don't want to add up lol total $35,000+ which is waaaay too much, I should have went with another car, something that could have hit the same times for much less. That's just how much I've spent on mods, there's a lot more if we wanna talk about me breaking things or things getting stolen that I've had to replace.  And I also can't imagine how much it would of been if I paid someone to do it instead of me and my friends doing it. yikes |

Geez...this will be long.
Car = $6,000 (hey...it had 36,000 original miles) First motor (junkyard rebuilder to 347) = $700 w/ a good amount of work done by me Second (and current) motor = $3,000 with some work by me and anything sourced out to shops was done for a good price Suspension = Wow...including the brakes I'll say $4,000 - $5,000 Transmission = $2,500 Wheels/tires first set was $1,100, second was about $1,500 SDS Digital fuel injection = $1,200 Throw-together turbo kit with new T-76 and Spearco 3 core = around $3,500 after any labor I didn't do myself Pro-Spyder intake = $750 Rear end = $2,000 from Currie Misc. other stuff = probably around $1,000 Yes, this was over many years. Also. many of the parts were bought used or from people/companies I have good professional relationships with (read: at a sizeable discount...especially that second motor). Hey...I can think of more expensive ways to get a car that turns and burns while putting down 650+hp

Sorry, but I see that as a total waste.. why would you buy a new car and then swap motors? You could have bought at least a 350z.. or something along those lines. Wow. |

Everything listed there is a total waste of money. You bought a brand new car and dropped a different motor in it...why not just buy a car with the motor you wanted in the first place? I did the same thing but Ford wasn't exactly cranking out production 347s or 331s. Also, if you have a turbo and you still need nitrous to go fast, it's time for a better engine. Turbos are all about tuning and throwing nitrous at it is not only bad for the motor but it's just a waste of money. A PS2 with a flip up screen? You've gone F & F on us here. Seriously...do you play that while driving? And does your passenger really need to play the damn thing while in traffic? The other stuff...turbo kit, wheels, etc. etc. is all good...but that's damn near $5000 you wasted right there.
