Too much!

$500 - Brake Upgrade
$420 - Y-Pipe
$275 - Catback
$150 - UDP
$200 - Springs
$400 - Koni's
$200 - Random Nissan Stuff (splash guards, cargo net, ...)
$450 - Tires

Some of these where end of spring, but who's counting...

This doesn't even include the near $7000 in accidents...thank god I didn't have to pay for those.

That list is kinda disturbing...On the bright side...I did sell my old y-pipe for $10!!!

I have you fools beat..

Try 12 grand
Well, the Max cost 10 with change, tax, auction + dealer fees is close to 12.
I had just thrown 600$ in repairs in my 3rd gen before I sold it. So that would put me close to 13 grand on Maximas... Nearly 14 if you count insurance

I am officially in the most broke stage of life I have EVER been in. All savings spent on cars and college tuition, and i mean ALL. To top it off, I owe a couple of G's from the parents, plus I gotta buy books for school. damn!!!!!!!!

Sheesh...

...makes me sick just thinking about it. See everything in my signiture under 'sitting in my garage', well all that and more. This does not include the painting of the things that need to be painted. I'm thinking about $5k+ when it's all done. Ouch. And of course, probably like you guys, my family thinks I'm nuts.

Somewhere around the $3,000 range. But now I realize what a mistake I made because I could have gotten a supercharger...

Money

I just started about a month ago on the speed and handling mods, but with the system I'm in the area of $3800. without the system its about $320. I don't regret it at all. Except for the system install, which i should have paid someone to do. This winter will probubly(sp) be about the same.

I don't know if he was, but I definitely was. Had the cash ready to go, you guys confirmed I was on the list and then all of a sudden I get told "Oh, I'm not selling to anyone outside of CO anymore." Let's say I was ****ed.

$800

Somewhere in the range of 800 bux, I needed tires for my 17's, and I didn't want that SUV look either, so I had to put some Eibachs on there as well, and little things like fog light bulbs and a cornering light, cuz mine was busted. Not too much, but enough.
