I have had my 98 max se 5spd for only 3 months but Ive spent $8700 for car, $20 for clear corners, $20 for mats, $500 in subs and amps, $150 for cd player. So Ive really only spent $690. More mods to come though.

Y-Pipe $200

Stereo $600
interior mods $200
FSTB $50

I think thats where I'll stop. College expensive

Wiring, ECU and MAF from '02/'04 Altima= 650$
STS 110$
Shift boots and armrest cover from Redline=95$

I guess that's it. Total; 4500$ in mods, and 3200$ for the car.

all you people spent $$ on mods but at least your car looks nice, i spent quite a bit and my car still looks like a beater, i guess i have to get off my lazy *** to install all this stuff

550 tokico kit
450 axis pads/ brembo/ss lines
130 RSB
300 y pipe/high flow cat
340 raxle
150 transmission cooler/mobil 1 atf

350 crappy 15" all seasons tires
60 belt tensioner

stuff in garage

200 z3 fenders
600 18" rim
200 00vi/inject/tb
140 98 cluster
200 projectors
90 300zx bracket/rings

i still need about 5k at least to get the car to what i want it to be. and 8k-9k if i want to boost it. but then im still stuck with the crappy suspension, and fwd. im thinking bout just sellign off my mods keep it as a beater and drop 10k down payment on the is300

97maxxx

just calculated it now and i am just over 4000 - and thats in just about a year- oyea and im 17 so i guess thats a lot for me -another 1500 or so will be spent in the next few months to bring me up to 5500 for a stillen kit painted knock sensor and a few lil other things

vsamoylov

but dont u guys enjoy it walking out everyday and seying it and al lthe wrok you did to it and then start it up and drive it and enjoy driving it? or is that just me? but then after driving it, i get dissapointed cause alot more work has to go into it to make it even better.

Damn right, every penny spent is worth it. I love going out after that fresh wash and watching the black paint gleam in the sunlight, and I think to myself, Yes, all the money spent was worthwhile.

Viscous

Yeah it's nice to really see and feel the progress done to the car, but at the same time I always find more and more things to do to it. It's a never ending cycle. A few years ago I thought all I needed was a stillen kit and wheels to be content with the car... but now that's nowhere near enough.

lex4style

iTrader: (5)

rims+tires= $1700
Suspension= $500
Audio System = $700
Brakes = $300
Supercharger w/mods = $4000 SOLD
Misc. = $500

I'd say i spent $8000 but sold the SC so now the car has $4000 invested into it. But like everyone said. After you wash the car you certainly love it.
