SO......In trying to convince myself I need a new transmission from the t45source, I decided to put a complete mod list together of every aftermarket part currently on my car. This doesn't count the parts I have swapped out multiple times such as air intakes, four stereo's, headlights etc. I have owned it since 2009 and got it for $11,300. I cant decide if this is awesome, or insane. I can say that I sure love my wife..lol

LOL I'm 17k deep in this current build.. I don't want to hear shit bro..

Lets just say this. I put together a parts list to part out the car.. With super low prices.. If I got my asking prices it would total over 40k.. Rough guestimate on money spent on my car.... probably very close to 150k.. And that's no joke..

Glad I could help.. ;) I'm a very stupid person and after this shit I'm seriously done and I have told people mainly my best friend to no long work on my car which will force me to sell it and part out. SO this will be the last time..

The part I hate is that 30k total over 5 years is a 500 car payment.

I could easily be in a terminator or 2013+.

But then I'd be modding it as well. Lol.

Yep trust me man.. It's terrible to add up stuff.. I recommend not doing it if you can. I have a 3" binder full of receipts and shit too.. it's not a good thing.

Between my 2 Cobras, I have binders of receipts that are almost 2 foot tall. I stopped counting the money a long time ago. I would imagine that I have well over 6 figures of money down the toilet on the toys, but I don't want to count. The current engine build that's going into my street car is well over 12K in just parts (labor is free since I do the work), of course this doesn't include any power adders or support equipment. If I were to add up what I've spent and what I've sold, I'm sure the total number spent wouldn't be nearly as bad, lol.

I think my fiancee would kill me if she knew what I've spent on this car with the swap and everything I've done to it.

Damn, and I'm over here feeling like crap for deciding to purchase long tubes, x pipe, new clutch, tob, etc... hahaha Now I don't feel as bad knowing I haven't spent a whole lot, YET.

However I don't think I could dump that much money into an SN95, unless its an 03/04 Cobra with a huge blower/turbo build.

I put collector car insurance on my cobra a few months back and after sending them pics and some receipts they approved me for a $30k payout if anything ever happened. Atleast I can feel a little better when im driving it that if somebody runs into me or if it was stolen most of the $$$ ive put into it ill get back. I recommend it for any of you in here who have dumped more cash into the car than its worth like me lol.

I try not to think about all the money ive put in(and about to) but im positive my wife does haha.

I also do not want to add up my lists. Just keep buying stuff and don't look back! haha I have always told myself that if wasn't going to keep the car for a long period of time to not put mods to it.

I refuse to do this for 2 reasons:

1) Self-incrimination. Even though the vast majority of what has been spent on this car was before I ever met her and even though she supports my hobby for the most part, my wife would have leverage on me for the longest time if she learned how much money is in the car.

2) I just don't want to know, for my own sanity. I have a folder of every single receipt for anything I've ever bought for the car and it will never be added up during my tenure of ownership, unless the unlikely day arrives that I decided to sell the car so that I can use that information to justify price.



To be fair, I haven't really spent a ton of money on the car in the past 2 years or so. Everything I've done I've managed to fund by wheelin' and dealin' on other parts. I've had very little out of pocket expense (gas and insurance aside).

What company did you insure the car through?

My black 97 is going to see a lot of changes (hopefully within the next 6 months or so) and at that point I will be quite a ways into "never gonna get my money back" territory. But, I do not plan to get rid of the car and I'm going to try to leave it alone and just enjoy it after this, so we'll see.

How can it be that 100% of the time the parts we need are so much more expensive than the extra parts we have available to sell? Lol
