How much have you guys spent on your Evo as far as modifications? I started tallying up the total just out of boredom one day and was shocked to find out the size of the sum! In the just over one year period that I've had my car, I've spent 5700 bucks on mods!

In my defense, I've added things like the all-seasons that I needed for winter and alignment, mounting and balancing of the new wheels and tires, but even then I'd be at 5 grand. Adds up quick, huh?

 

I'm not sure if we should count things like alignment in this thread because it's maintenance IMO...

in 5 months I've done this so far...

BR stages 1&2 ~ $2000 (ordered, should be here next week)
BR racing pedals $65
Spare set of stock rims $400 (perfect condition)
S2000 Antenna ~ $30 after tax
Alpine CDA-9856 head unit +ipod cable +sirius tuner box $330
Debadge $0
Valentine V1 hardwired, with remote display on my steering column ~ $450 (christmas present from gf)

that's $3275 since getting it mid december.

 

there was a big thread on this a while back

 

Good point, but I figured that I probably wouldn't have gotten an alignment if I didn't have an Evo/was driving a normal car.

I had to get an alignment because I lowered my car after buying coilovers.

 

I actually got an alignment since purchasing the car too... and also changed the rear brake pads with hawk pads... didn't add those on the mod list.

 

Once I order my Evo 9 turbo and new injectors I will have spent over 10K. This doesn't include the cost of installs. I have had the car about 16 months

 

So far about $5k and I don't even have the damn car yet

Yes I'm an idiot

 

I dont want to know.

 

I bet it is more than my payoff

You only live once though, right pops?

 

I've spent 3K on 90% used parts. Pretty much Buschur stages 1-4 except the front mount. Car still feels slow.....right now I'm debating dropping big money on the car or just selling and moving on to a easier platform that doesn't cost as much.

 

I wish I had the cash to mod. So many plans, so little cash to make them come true. I think I have spend around $1500 so far. 7 tails, Perrin antenna, UKDM badge, DC dp/tp, HKS 30th Anniv. cat-back, heat wrap, APS bov, APS intake and IC spray reservoir (not installed). Yeah I'd say about 1500 or so.

 

I've spent about 7-8k I think....

HKS 272's
VSR intake Manifold
AMS Front Mount W/ Tial BOV
AMS Cat-back
Koyo Radiator
Fidanza Cam gears
Exedy Triple Carbon clutch
AFC (selling!!!!! PM if interested)

About to be spend moreeee

RRE Clutch/Flywheel/Tranny Fluid - $830
Clutch Install - $406
APS BOV - $215

TOTAL ~ $3769

I guess thats it for power type mods. Not counting having to get all-seasons ($680 installed). Damn, I didnt realize it was that much. Had the car 10 months Oh well, I passed up the SSL package, so that about makes up for it anyway.
