New transmission = $3300
NSX calipers = $200
EBC Greenstuff pads = $35

I can't afford Rotors to even put the calipers on now..
I think im gonna just resurface the rotors and hope for the best!!

Dam you spend more then I did this last month, what happen to your car where u had to shell out soo much?

Somewhere in the ballpark of $5279.59. That includes 2 sets of tires, 1 replacement tranny (the other one was covered), 105k service, 1 headlight, drain plug fix (helicoil) and 16 oil changes.


Guess I can't complain too much after 7 years and 107k miles. She's rock solid now (with a lifetime warranty on the tranny) and good to go for at least another 100k.

cal6tl

gonna be over 7k in 2 months cuz going to do a 6 speed swap hehe

StonedCL

iTrader: (1)

He said in the last MONTH...not 10 years... If it was the last 10years w/payements gas and everything I think it would be $50,000+.
June of 2000 $5000 down and $500+ month 60 months....

I dont even wanna think about how much i spent since I bought her but in th last MONTH i spent $3500, I got kinda happy when I seen some of your posts but then realized it was how much most of you guys spent since you bought the car!

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

you need to read the first post...
he's not asking how much you paid and spent on it....
just asking how much you spent after buying the car
ie. mods/fixing/etcetc

good luck for doing your 6 speed swap under 4k... i just spent almost 4.5k on my 6 speed

AznWay

iTrader: (8)

Wow with only 14 post you have 6 speed swap done. Did you change your user Name? B/c I think there only 5 TL swap that has been done.
Can we see this TL

By the way I'm going get this done with Phee. He got it done for under 3K

About $10,000. It cost me about $3500 just to get the car to run when I got it in 2007 because it sat for over a year.

Two months ago I dropped $760 on the crankshaft pulley and belts. Luckily I was able to do that myself.

vdiddy210

lol nothing happened to it...I just joined the forum this month and started seeing all them crazy mods you guys did and bought a bunch of stuff (JDM pieces lip kit etc.) that drove the price up.

Yeah, i don't really care so much about normal wear and tear costs lol I was curious how much you guys drop to make your cars the way they are.

I don't speculate i'll be spending much more on mods. last thing I want/need is a new head unit and MAYBE subs and amp

-Vip3r-

$760 on a crank pulley and belts? wtf?

prolly around 3k for me

nhn23

iTrader: (4)

$35 for all four pads or just the fronts? where are u buyin from?

TLin401

The pulley was $255 and the belts were $55 so that is $310 right there. Then I bought the fluids, tools needed to replace it, and little shit that goes with it so it added up to $760.

TLin401

Having the joy that it brings to my face when I see my car clean: Priceless

I hope that is enough for you.

Hopefully by next spring I will have some serious additions to the car that are not seen too often on 2.5s

See this is why I'm scared to get a job. There is absolutely no chance of me saving a single cent of it it'll all go straight to my car.
