How did you manage to spend that much with the mods in your sig?

I've had my car for a month and I've spent about 200 so far: Hallman MBC, Defi D series boost guage and guage pod.

I ran on a Dyno jet at turbo trix.... "Xede is not there specialty" is what they said to me.... some people think i should have cam gears + a Vishnu tune to get 330+. I'm getting sick of spending money at this point (you can see by my post)

On my last car I spent around 10k...looking back I think WTF was I doing...that's why I bought an Evo...buy a fast car to begin with so I don't have to pour money into making it fast. I don't forsee myself spending more than 4k total on this car as far as mods go.

I'm probably right at the 2K mark, but I'm planning on about 6K...maybe 7...unless I end up really wanting a IX when I see it in person...then I get to start over again...

Dont get a new EVO!!! there really is not point if you are into performance. Any evo with performance mods will beat a stock IX or MR no contest. I would say 1-2 grand in performance mods will offset any performance dif from one evo to the next stock for stock. 1.Exhaust 2. rear swaybar 3. Dyno flash = faster than any stock evo easy. I almoast died when i read the sport compact car magazine article that said the new IX get like 7 whp and 3ftlbs more... they thought that was great lol

Don't know exactly, but more than $15,000.00 for sure. Best I don't know. Most likely make me start crying. Oh well, I've always said I want to spend my last $.02 just before they put me in my grave.

i voted 1-2k for now. more is coming, but i am trying to work in stages.... if that makes sense. first was wheels, tires, springs, trunck bar, a few other goodies. next comes the TB exhaust, utek, manifold, intake?, fuel pump, ect. this car sould easily become a huge money pit, and i trying to be careful. i am not going to put 20k into it though.
