$$$

Just curious about how much money everyone has invested in their cars. This is for performance and apprearence mods only. Don't include wreck repairs.

1990 camaro rs...$2300

1994 z28......better not say... :evillol:

I'm also planning on throwing a ws6 hood on my camaro, 18" Z06 rims, & new paint job & sound system so that should bump it up a few $$$$

i'v got about 7,500-8,500 in my i-rocz

i'v got about 7,500-8,500 in my i-rocz

wow

^thanks but as you know moter part do not come cheap well not good ones

^thanks the parts that i got do not come cheap so what do you do but pay the price for good parts

bought the IROC for 2300, and spent close to 4000 just getting her leagal on the street thanks to the prior owner being from arkansas. lol.

i wont even bring up the RS, i think the only money i spent on her was for repairs from wrecks lol. initial price was 3000 though. oh oh oh i did spend 145 bucks for a torsen rear with 3.27 gears that never got installed, does that count?? :evillol:

Another question, what were the first couple of mods that you first bought for your cars?

the first thing was the zz9 cam then the slp headers and the list gose on and on lol

first for both were cat back exhausts. they are no brainers, improove sound, and looks. the IROC also got a set of headers. Wait no i lied, the first mod to the IROC was a bulletproof 700R4, the tranny crapped out on me as soon as i got her home, so i had my trans guy build me up a replacement with a full B&M transkit, stage 2 shift kit, corvette first - second servo, and a 2600 stall converter with a kevlar lockup clutch. exhaust upgrades came later.

So, do you think that a CAI and Loudmouths would be a good place to start on my car? I don't really plan on doing a whole lot with it though...unless I win the lottery.

ya thats a good start for some sound and power upgrades

well this is gonna hurt..

my 91 Z costed $9100.. First thing I did was the custom paint and shaved handles it only costed me about $1200 because I did most of the work myself.. my guages costed me about $80 to make.. Next was Z06 wheels - $800, 3" aluminum wheel spacers - $300, rubber - $800
spent about 1750 in upgrades including built tranny, exhaust, intake, and 3.73 true posi rear end..

so about $14,000 man.. ive never added that up before..
Plus im rebuilding the engine while its parked this winter.. who knows how much that'l end up costing

cold air induction and catback are great starting places, and a foundation for any other mods in the future. i think just about everyone here has done that without even thinking about it lol, thats probly why it wasnt mentioned.

thats how my iroc stared gust a rebuil the it whent to a 383 and all that other good stuff lol

Where the hell do you guys get the money to do all this stuff? I would think that I may have the best set up as far as saving money. I am 17 and only pay for my gas and food. Well, to think about it, I am very tight with my money, but still, you guys think you could send me some free parts? j/k. Thanks for all the input, keep it coming.
