How much have you spent on your civic?
i've put in about 400 bucks in repairs, 300 for rims, 50 for intake (short ram), 70 bucks on upgrading plugs, wires etc. 600 for sound system.. so i guess altogether it's $1420 and i plan on doing an engine swap to a GSR engine this summer... but the motor mounts for my car are $600
What's up guys I'm new to this place and new with my car, I've only spent about $500 something on headers, intake and exhaust. I just got about an extra $500 to spend and I wanted to know what I should do to my B16A to increase performance at that cost. Help me out if possible.
$3500 for tranny that again just went out which happened to be again right after the warranty went up...
$2500 for head gasket cracking, water pump, radiator (the tank melted) and timing belt changed
and probably another $4000 atleast on rims, tires, audio equipment, suspension, and other stuff...
well im now looking for a different car... NOT A CIVIC

Re: How much have you spent on your civic?
when I first got it done, exterior and interior, plus parts here and there, I'll have to say 10k, although it was like 9,89?.00, so yea 10k. Never again...lol
Re: How much have you spent on your civic?
I have over 7k in my current turbo setup alone, including engine build cost. It'd be closer to around 12k if I had paid labor.
Over the years since I've had it, probably around 20k or so.

Re: How much have you spent on your civic?
K20a2 swap, Kpro, race header, intake-$7,000
Tein Basic dampers-$850
Sway bar, strut bar, camber adjustment-$700
Enkie rims-$700
Total in tires (I go through alot of tires)-$1500
Tuning time-$400
bi-annually alignments-$300
Si rear brake swap-$300
Goodridge stainless lines-$100
Brake pads (I go through alot of pads)-$200
Fluids (oil, brake, tranny, clutch)-$600
Total spent so far-~$12,650 I have sold some of my old parts to make about $3,000 so net total would be around $10,000.
Future $ to spend:
-race tires and rims-$1000
-Quaif ATB-$1000
-new suspension-$1,200
-more tuning time-$300
New total $3500+old 10,000=$13,500-$500 for the suspension that I would sell=Final total of $13,000
The final total would put my car where I want it, where it will be by next race season.

Re: How much have you spent on your civic?
I don't even want to know. In the last 2 months I have dropped over $5K on the turbo stuff. That doesn't count everything I've done prior. I totaled it up and for just the stuff involved in the the turbo project I'm at $6483. Then there's paint, I.C.E., suspension, my bolt-on I/H/E bits, wheels and tires. I have two Civics but it only looks like one.

Re: How much have you spent on your civic?
I've got a CD/MP3 player at the costs of $300. I had a 12" Kappy Perfect in the trunk, but I sold it after the amp went out.
I'll be spending $350 on Tokico struts, but only because one of the stock ones is completely blown out now.
My other car has about $20k - $25k in it,m but the Civic will stay stock.
