How much have you spent...

I was going threw all of my car reciepts and I decided to add up how much I have spent on the car since day-1. I got the car on March 23, 05 so this is from then to present.
I totaled everything up to be around $5100, probably more around $5400 by the time I add up everything I have bought in town, I dont save many of those reciepts. This includes tires, alignment, and anything like that.

I also have around $1250 worth of free parts I have gotten for the car.

Its a shame when the aftermarket parts cost more than the fuckin car did!!
Lets see how much you guys have spent, maybe it will make me feel better.

1990 Eclipse RS

$600 - Car
$250 - Motor
$300 - Wiring Harness, Half Axles, Tranny, Clutch/flywheel
$100 - After Market Exhaust, stock tail lights
$50 - Stock 2nd gen 5 spoke rims

Theres many more odd and ends, but thats the big stuff.

Total: $1300

Thats not bad, your is counting how much you paid for the car, mine isin't.

I'm almost positive I'm upwards of $25k if you add up all 3 cars. The RS, TSI AWD, and the GST. Looking back on it..I'd do it all over again.

I can't keep track of everything.

$4000 for the car.
$3000 for the tranny.
$2000 or so for the head.

Right there too much. But ya, it's all worth it. Spent well over 10k on mods and maintenance.

This thread makes me feel sick to my stomach... lol... I am scared to add it all up... All I know is that so far I have spent nearly 10k on my motor and tranny... Originally paid 3k for it... 1k on redoing the body and a nice paint job... I don't even wanna add up all the other stupid things... :(

I dont feel so bad anymore.

Think of it as dedication to your hobby

Purple car $750
Black parts car $500
Blue parts car $400
Performance parts that didnt come with a parts car $600
Not sure on maintenance stuff, I would say ~$100
That leaves the total at $2350 plus stuff I have forgotten about. I bet I have spent a total of about $2600 or so on it.
However, I have sold around $700 in extra parts and have TONS more. I estimate that I have about $1900 in it at the moment. Remember ya'll buy smart!

With all the time and moneys I spent on these car ( include the stang ), I properly and up buy a brand new car :banghead: .

How about we post pictures how our cars looked when we got them, then after we did our mods.

Do it up son. Mines not too different otherwise I would... remember I am going for the "stock" look, everything looks the same minus the rims and 4" exhaust tip.

Jeez Vanilla, just imagine when you slap a DOHC head on that beast and doing a AWD conversion!

Actually the DOHC head swap will happen.... But it will be on my spare 92 6 Bolt 4g64 2.4L block. Forged internals, slight bore, DOHC head...the works...its all planed out. And if I have my car as long as I plan on having it....forever....then I promise an AWD conversion will happen. You read my mind thor06

Oh my god!...I love photo ops! :naughty: Even though everyone here has seen the pics of my car a million times....your gonna see them again.

Mostly the same. Outside differences are the rims and FMIC. When I got it the intake wasn't even on it, I guess this was the first pic I took of the engine bay.
