Re: How much i spent so far :(

I added this up awhile ago and the grand total of things fixed, mods and the cost of the car was $11,500......

BUT, the beauty of my mods is that 90% of them will transfer right over to an LS1 T/A or Z28 :rock:

The only things that will go with the car when/if I sell it are the shift kit, headers and exhaust. The rearend will a piece of cake to sell. Other than that, I'll completely demod it and take everything with me to my next car :D

Gotta luv universal nitrous kits :tup:

Re: How much i spent so far :(

more then I wanted too, but probably not alot. Hard to say I got some sweet deals on stuff and made money off of mods I have bought and sold.


Only regret was not buying a car a month later when I got a $4 an hour raise, and could afford a 0 mile 04 GT with ease.

Re: How much i spent so far :(

car - 5000
exhaust - 400
intake - 300
headlights - $150
2 sets of stripes - $70
grille - $50
plus all the thousands of trips to advanced to buy random stuf..

so, around $6000. not bad compared to others i guess. car is in good condition.
