Re: How much have you spent on your civic?

K&N Short ram: $205
Wheels and Tires (15x7" Kosei K1 Racing and Kumho Ecsta ASX) w/ install: $850'ish
Eibach Front and rear Sway bars(end links too): $340

So about $1400 so far excluding maintenance. I only payed $5600 in April for my '02 LX w/ 60,000mi since it was salvage title and i havn't had any prolems yet. *starts praying*

Next up are the Tokico Blues, Eibach pro-kit and SPC rear camber all in one go... give that time I suppose.

Re: How much have you spent on your civic?

Lets see, I bought my 95 ex for $400 (yup it runs but has high mileage).

Bought a new radiator-$105
Nokya Blue Bulbs-$25
Newer engine with 112k from a 98 EX-$50
Pioneer Head Unit-$100
Pioneer 6 1/2 speakers for rear-$45
New corner lights-$10
New window accuators for both sides-$60

As of right now my total is @ $395 for stuff I've gotten. Doesn't include the main harness I picked up for $100 and new axels as well. *sigh* And none of that is even true after market stuff.

Re: How much have you spent on your civic?

So far this has been the cheapest car I've ever had to maintain:

@ 113K miles,

$13 Oil filter x 15 = $195
$24 Full synthetic motor oil x 15 = $360
Front Passenger Side CV Drive Axle, No ABS: $90
$7 Honda Manual Transmission Fluid x 2 = $14
Rear Passenger Door Paint retouch: $140
Drilled/Slotted Rotors: $95
Lifetime Ceramic Brake Pads: $55

Total: $949.00

Granted, I'm in the process of replacing some of the front suspension components due to regular wear and tear over the past 9 years, but still-- dirt cheap maintenance!

Re: How much have you spent on your civic?

So far the only mod I've done to this car is the stereo.

~$2000

(Deck, two amps, two subs, new door speakers, ported sub enclosure, power/ground wire and fuse(s), distro block, capacitor, 6meter and 5meter RCA cables, various terminals and connectors, all the required tools for a DIY install, etc)
