Just wondering how much everybody has spent total in moding their 1st gens. Not counting fixing it. I counted about $3600. But I also counted a loss of about $3000 since I've switched rims, suspension, and exhausts 3 times each! And systems twice! So I guess thats really like $6600! But anyway everything I have on my car now totals about

$3600.

Wish I had a stock CL and $6600 to spend on it right now! Oh well.

I'd like to see how much some of you guys have spent on your CL's, so post how much you've spent. And list your mods with prices if you wants.

Kiljaedoen

about 2300 as is

not counting things ive bought and broke or removed/replaced

Kiljaedoen

Kiljaedoen

GRRRR....

EPS CL

$150 for tint, $15 for a new air filter

Stapler

Natta.. Maintanence on the other hand. Somthing like 400 in parts.

JLai

Mods + Installs = ~$3000

And I don't even have rims.

Its expensive to do things right.

dragon084

vashuba311

dustbuster4

Close to $10K.

Keep in mind, this also includes items that are no longer on my car (like my old N2O dry kit $750--I now have a wet kit [which was $1K].

Wheels/tires (2 set of tires in 1 year) $1200 + $600

CAIs/Short rams = $300+

Drop = $500 + new trailing arms to properly set camber = $1K

Engine and installation = $1550.

Rotors/Pads (twice) = $550

Stereo equipment = $750

HIDs = $425

Helix Power Tower = $100

Exhaust = $200

dragon084

he took the cake

clstyle

ive spent about $2000 on it

jamolie

too damn much! i tell myself i'm done. trying to save up for a type r.

SooDARK

damn dust! I'm glad to know someone has wasted alot more money than me. Only I'm not done, I've still gotta spend another $3000 to make it quick.

haiduc

this might take me a while...

lets start at the beginning.

-misc headlight 9006 bulbs before i got HID's
$300

-misc interior bulbs + clears
$100

-Wood piece that goes around the radio
$40

-B&M adapter
$70

-Reverse indiglo gauges.. when i had the damn things
$60

-Alpine CDA 7875 + Rockford 250.2 + Rockford 12'' XLC (first sub) + 2 10'' Xtants (current)
$1200

-Neuspeed springs + install
$200

-OEM spoiler (added on later)
$300

-Headers
$300

-CAI
$60

-Exhaust
$400

-Rims + tires.... bought, then taken off... sent to paint, then new tires.. now back on the car
$2000

-HID's
$450

-Nitrous wet kit + purge kit + bottle warmer
$620

-ACT clutch + 8lb flywheel
$800

-JDM H22a (that is not even counting how much install would run me
$2000

-misc gauges + pod
$500

i think that comes around to $9400....
if i were to install the engine it would come out to over 11k after the install and all the wiring and tuning is said and done.
this is why im going to sell the car. time to move on and start something else.

haiduc

got some bad news... you're going to spend a lot more than that.

SooDARK

i'm not talking 12 second quick. I'm talking like low 14 high 13 second quick. I think I can get there for around 3000 more, don't you?

Still can't decide between H22 or turbo kit. I'll decide once I get another G or so. Leaning toward the H22 just since it's more reliable and has more potential. Only reason I keep thinking about keeping the F23 is because it only has 50K on it. I just keep thinking about how cheap I could have bought a high milage cl for and done the swap.

And yeah i know a stock h22 will be far from high 13's. maybe high 14's at best. (with my exhaust and intake that i already have) But thats still alot quicke than i am now!

And dust, i didn't mean "waste" more like spent. I know your money wasn't wasted, just alot of mine was.

Jamz

About $2,700 + torque wrench & floor jack

Casper98CL

too goddam much... well over the $$$ of the car... I had a hefty down payment on a house if I didnt do it!!!!

Kiljaedoen

So beacues you dont want to spend 1600 more your starting over? Put that motor in there and mabey you will change your mind.
