$900 for the Rims
$500 for full suspension

$275 C/F Hood

Crx was purchased for 40 bux and a GameCube

If I start listing everything I think I'll cry..........but its way over 7 grand just for aftermarket items let alone whutever the shop is gonna charge for when the car gets out the shop....

 

I am done putting money into the Rex all im going to do is oil changes and whatever it needs to keep her running good. The Rex is going bye bye soon.

 

And when you think your ready to settle down, kids, family etc..

You get an S2000 and start messing with that.. It never goes away, you will always have the itch to mod whatever you have.

I had the car for about 4-5 months and already spent a good chunk of change and I love it

 

That's how the infamous JRSCed Ls almost put me in the crazy house.

JR Supercharger, w/ Boost Upgrade pulleys and junk, Full 2.5" Exhaust from Kamakazi to Greddy Evo including flex pipe... Cat... and the whole shabang!, Hondata 2B, OBD2 to OBD1 ECU and Made to order Kenji harness upgrade,Tuning N' Dyno time,Motor Mounts, Lip kits, Special Order C/F Hood, Wing, Paint, 3 sets of wheels n' tires, ignition, clutches (Yes, More then 1), lightened Flywheel, Hardcore suspension upgrades (Probably spent more then $3K alone on suspension parts), And the list goes on...............................Not to mention all the problems and Money I spent fixing them within the two years of boosting.

I'm guessing,... not including the price of the car....Somewhere in the area of $9k spent on just upgrades from the day I brought the car home, till this past October when the car went to it's new home in Jersey.

Now I have a '00 Si to play with, It's not even on the road yet and already have almost $4k invested. Lets see how much money I can spend on this piece of crap before I learn my lesson. .........again!
