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

$4,527 (give alittle more for things I forgot).

p.s.-- this month I've only had car for one year!!!
Am I spending too much? What have you people spent & how long have you had the car?

*edit* I just remembered a couple things.

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

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

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.

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.

Fi-Dolla!

...and that would be overstating things.

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

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

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...

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

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
