Then you'll sell the Si,and start modding the 1.8T...then sell that and mod...and mod ...etc...Modding your car is like crack...if it was gone,none of us would be the same

I know I Haven't broken any Axles or anything yet but damn this shit got expensive real quick. I haven't fixed the panel yet but everything else so far Has Cost me over $3,000.00 (putting in the right parts as I go). I figure the dent will cost me another $800 or so. Just out of Curiousity.......how much have you fellas spent on your projects. I think I'm somewhere around $5,000.00 on everything I've put in my car....(including interior upgrades, wheels, yada yada)

The result of when you give monkeys a car and they try to make it fast

I have about 6k in mine, including the price of the car ($4k back in 9

4 built ls/vtec setups, countless SOHC turbo setups, now im on my latest project, built "all motor" LS, 11.5:1 c/r, mildly ported, crower cams, etc. and all the ppl that said they spend more downtime than uptime, and more money fixing it than modding it, are 100% correct.. Ya gotta pay to play, but in the end, its all worth it..

Currently joined the "Club FI" and I think I'll stop here for a while before any more modifications, unless something breaks down. Except my tires are worn, and one's leaking, so currently looking for some good Z or W grade tires to buy.

(prices not including labor :bbb: )
Tokico struts = $180
Eibach springs = $130
Neuspeed springs = $75
Timing/balance belt/pump = $170
Enkei rims = $230
Megan muffler/mid section catback = $140
Self assembled turbo kit w/ gauges, SAFC, IC...etc etc = $1700
97 Accord used = $6500
Boss surround sound + subwoofer + 2 amps = came with car
Thruster spoiler = came with car

Being able to look less ricy by being an Asian in an Asian car = Priceless

You dont want to know how much i have spent on my hondas. It's like a Visa commercial. You spend all this money but when you reach the end i must say 600whp is priceless.
