How much $$$ in YOUR civic

Like the title says.....how much money does your civic have put into it? No replacement parts dont count so if you screwed up your engine and had to pay 2000 to get it fixed that doesnt count. I'll start....ummmm....ahhhhhh......approx. $6000 in parts and paint not including any other labour or DIY(and i've done about 7 of those)


so how bout you

let me start be saying that i first spent my money on engine then on suspension ... IMO, it's best if you work on suspension first then on engine ...

spent approx. $2000

putting money into the engine is like a bottomless pit. no matter how much you do, it just goes no where.

over 8,000 in just APC stuff from pepboys

I dunno, like everybody else, I just lost count. No matter how much you spend, its always gonna be a Civic. Big $$ doesnt equal a tight car either, dont confuse that.

Perhaps I should rephrase that...
I don't want to think about how much I spent, but even when I trade the civic in for something else it's still gonna be worth is even if it means losing out because of some mods like paint, body kit, etc... A Civic is a fun car to mod and play around with, so I'm letting it all out on the Civic now because once I get my new car it's gonna be stock-looking!!
VRRROOOOOOMMMMM.... ppffffssssssssssshhhhhhh!!!!
