Place a dollar amount.....

[knkfiend]

as of today( actually wednesday if youre being picky) marks me owning the truck for 1 year. and i have invested roughly 11k into it. this includes a built longblock and a built trans, along with a tuner and dyno time. did all the work myself.

this year i plan on spending ZERO dollars on the truck, and about 20k into my other money pit of a mustang.

 

[dizzygoat]

0 cause i dont have a L YET!
buuuut id say $9k and some change on the goat just this year.

god stupid me, and to just turn around sell/part out not even getting half what i invested.
But hey, i guess thats what passionately wanting a lightning will do to ya.

$0 spent to date. See sig. :rockon:

 

[Animalmutha97]

$2k - $2500 and I only owned it since April 30 this year.

 

[WhiteLightnin01]

Right around 1,000-1,500, give or take a few bucks. Not to shabby since I've only had it since Oct. 18th. But the next order I place with LFP should be around 4-5k, and that should be sometime in Jan.

 

[SVTxXxFreak6]

$1900-2000.....FML. lol

Hopefully going to just spend another 1k for suspension and some misc. stuff within the next year and be done with it. My plans have changed drastically with the truck.

 

[Derek@Amazon]

this year was around 1500 last year was around 5500

curious to see how much i spend modding the volvo now

 

[dizzygoat]

volvo???? please tell me you're one of the guys that did a LSx swap into one. I personally have seen some gnarly LSx wagons....ugly as sin, but performers none the less.

 

[FLACO_G]

Around 3500

1. LOWERED
2. NEW TIRES
3. INTAKE
4. EXHAUST (CATBACK)
5. GOOD SOUND SYSTEM

$0 this year still working on my red car after she is 100% might go with a built motor and turbo.... Not really sure yet.:shrug:

With everything this year I'm well over $25K.

If this was a contest I'm sure Kahlid would win. I can't even imagine what his shipping fees and import taxes were to get all his stuff into Dubai.

 

[latemodelracer2]

im a little 6500 for 08
I know it sounds impossible to say but I almost have it right where i want it. Probley 3k in 09 will put it there, esp since i just got the cobra and it will want toys too

how is project stupid coming??

 

[Sinister04L]

I don't want to think about how much I've spent on my truck at all, especially this year. If I spend anywhere near as much on it next year, my ass will be in a crack big time lol.

 

[gen2lightning]

ive spend $525 (Bassani catback) since i had it since lats november of 07! but am ready to start modding any time soon! ohh god i hope i dont go crazy!

 

[92GreenGT]

Some of you guys are nuts!

I bought some $40 shackles, lol. Oh yeah and some $5 black caliper paint, shew...went in debt in parts this year.

how is project stupid coming??

Unfortunately with traveling, the holidays and work I won't be able to get it towed back to my work to install it until the middle of Jan.

Sucks becasue I have everything that I need to put it back in one one shot.

Thanks for asking.:beer:

 

[fuelonempty]

Im at about well over 30,000 for this year... Bur I did get the powerplant, trans, fuel, and brakes where I finally wanted it with all supporting mods.

Edit: just rechecked everything, lets say over 37.. god damn.

For next year, I plan on doing a complete overhaul on the interior, recaro's, Expy console, leather wrapping the whole dash and rear deck, suede headliner, re-wrap the steering wheel, and redo the sound system. overall hoping to be at about 5g with that.

Also would like to relocate the battery, dont know how much that will cost me.

And a new set of tails as soon as I find the right pair I'm 100% sold on. Thats it.

Oh! 15x10 wheels for some slicks, metco traction bars, TA diff cover, refine my exhaust set up, new door sill plates, roll cage, maybe a stripe on the cowl of the hood, painting all the plastic pieces on the exterior, retro fitting BMW projector bulbs in the headlights with a bright Highbeam....

Do you see how this gets expensive???


**sigh**



On a side note,,, Eric, you really have no idea what a luxury it is to be able to live in the same country where all these performance parts are manufactured. Not to mention great dyno tuners that give you peace of mind. I guess its the punishment for cheap gas :shrug:

[ASUSMC]

right around 5-6k. Install and tuning of the 6lb the first time, subsequent motor popping on the dyno. Motor from ecoastkid at an unbelievable deal, ported blower, new converter, motor install and second tune. Now the friggin registration is due.
