How Much Have You Spent On Mods Since You Had Your Max....i've Spent....

I have had my 2K SE since Nov '99..... but I just started modding it about 2 months ago. Within those 2 months I have spent $3055 :eek:

I figure before the Fall I will have spent another $1500 and that will be it..........................for this year anyway ;)

lsondubz May 15, 2002 04:35 PM

my rims alone were 4k

ChillWill2000 May 15, 2002 04:46 PM

Dayyyum!! Ive only spent about 1300 on wheels/tires/springs/lights.

And the sad part is I havent even done 1/3 to my max what I want to.

did you do the all red tail lights too? and cleared your HIDs? looks just like emax's car.

MaDxKiLLa May 15, 2002 06:08 PM

ive spent under a 1000 i think......but im just starting...

Trunksu May 15, 2002 06:12 PM

2 words:

too much :D

Newman May 15, 2002 06:13 PM

oh yeah, ive spent about $3000 so far. and another $700 or $800 on tires is unavoidable when my rims come in.

so including the future tires its somewhere around $3715. $2900 of which were rims and tires.

zman187 May 15, 2002 06:28 PM

lets see I've had the car since early dec and i have poured just under 1000 including lights and all that crap soon to be 2000 with my body kit comming soon and then rimmies..

MaxedOut2g May 15, 2002 06:37 PM

started low, now moving on up...i'd say $3200 more/less after the kit and agx's...and i dont even have a job :wall: ...its good to have close family friends around b-days :D

Donkey® May 15, 2002 06:38 PM

I have had my 2k2 SE for 10 months and I have spent 7K on mods so far. Sometimes I am glad that everything is slow coming out.

emax02 May 15, 2002 06:47 PM

About $5K in 6 months, i'm going to settle down soon :)

Maxima06071 May 15, 2002 06:55 PM

104.56..:wall:..sorry I'm friggin poor:bawling:

LeftCoast May 15, 2002 07:04 PM

Probably about $2500 bones so far. Still need rims/tires, leather and the header/Y-pipe (if it comes).... So looking at about another 4000 more bones....

KLOOGY May 15, 2002 07:30 PM

Not sure... had 3 different intakes.. FSTB Piaa's all over the place, and LED's, Muffler, RSB, Maxspeeds, Dash Kit, Id say Im at about 1K or so... Need UDP, Headers Y PIPE and Wheels, and 75 shot coming by the end of the year.....Not even close to the 10K in my Stang, and 5 K in my WS6 TA ....

Tanman May 15, 2002 07:31 PM

Don't forget, a lot of items have to be replaced due to wear and tear, so you're not really "modding", so much as replacing.

Hobert May 15, 2002 07:35 PM

$400...starting off slow. Hopefully I will be able to pick up the pace soon.:D

SteVTEC May 15, 2002 07:35 PM

Fi-Dolla! :D

...and that would be overstating things. :laugh:

Since I'm at 52k, I'm sorta waiting for my powertrain warranty to run out since I might need to get some warranty work done soon. My throwout bearing is definitely flakey and my starter solenoid might be flaking out too. I don't want to give Nissan any excuses to give me a hard time.

Dem basta'ds :smash:

After that I'll probably just add intake and a y-pipe and call it a day.

dmbmaxima2k2 May 15, 2002 07:47 PM

around 4k since november and i have another 2k idea coming up along with a proto type frankencar catback.

KLOOGY May 15, 2002 07:51 PM

Anxiously looking for that !OUCH , there goes another $600 !:D

THEKNITE May 15, 2002 08:03 PM

Mods
 
I didnt' think I spent that much, but it came out to be $1500, and another $1500 for rims and tires. I think i'm done, unless I find a great deal on stillen skirts and rear. :D

max'n out May 15, 2002 08:14 PM

I think it's around 40 or 45k.

noflash May 15, 2002 08:16 PM

hmm...
 
$1100 rims and tires
70 Courtesy FSTB
120 Addco RSB
50 K&N Drop-in
90 Maxspeed
200 Install
$1630 Total?

I'd like to stop after some struts.

$330 + $150 Tokico & install
or
$75? + $150 used SE struts - haven't decided yet.

Help me decide!

So, that will be a grand total of $2110 - $1855.

I'd like to note that I started off with a brand new '01 GXE for $19,950.

Ah, sports sedan on a budget... :)

scmaxima2k May 15, 2002 08:38 PM

I think im up to around 6k... and theres still so much more i want!!!

rob van dam May 15, 2002 09:29 PM

You bastard guy !! Just won the Stillen bodykit and HID auctions on ebay.. I know.. I was watching.... you are a bad bad man :)

I personally didn't touch my car for 2 years (it's a Y2K SE).. 1 month ago I got a berk intake and new rims/tires (s03's w/CSA's 17x8 245/45)... and I just recently ordered a supercharger kit, gauges, working on a pod, cooler, VB.. I'm up at about 4k right now for all that stuff.... I really hate myself right about now :)
