How much did it cost to build your car?

[aphxero]

hmmm. I'm not doing that bad. This is my 2nd corolla I've had for 10 months.

car:1500
t3 lateral rod: 130 (broke the stock one)
body panels: 100
LSD: 200 (broke the old one)
axles: 200 (bent 2 this year)
clutchnet 4 puck clutch: 250
SS brake lines: 140
exhaust: 220
intake: 50
High comp block: 200
extra wheels: 75
New transmission: 75 (broke the stock one)
new master cyl: 50
new rotors: 100
advan wheels: 300
Megnecor wires: 85
Nardi wheel: 75
Hub spacer: 60
Mr2 ecu: 0
mr2 dizzy: 0
Labor: 0

total: 3810 (if my math is on) Good thing I got some free parts here and there

Car still has rust and looks like crap riding on cut springs and blown shocks in front. The good news is now it's ready for some suspension mods. Everything works so that is good

Some may think I have put in too much for what I have. I'll put it like this. I love it, I live in FL (where GTS are impossible to find for sale) and... I love it. yeah

Just a word to anyone wanting an AE86, they have quite a few "hidden" costs since they are so old.

Ghetto 86:






Like I said. GHETTO.

By the end of project Celica, at least the end of what I can see so far, my guess will it will be about Over 10k. Not very much compared to some of you guys, but things for an 85 Celica come cheaply. : O

[OneShirtChris]

95 240sx SE: 4600
fixing it after i ran into an old lady: 2600
add that up yourself i'm tired.

[ProjectD]

650 for my car when it wasnt running. cost less than 50 to get it running,

more than 300$ worth of stuff at only 100$ spent in all...what a bargain.

Rx-7s.....who said there's no hope of a non working engine at 201K miles?

ha. wrong.

[REVLIMIT]

So far I spent about $3,500 on parts alone on my current car (a large chunk of it was for my 6 speed trans which was about $2,000 total). But now I'm starting on a new project car and that adds another 3,500 to that. I'm going to be swapping over all the parts I have on my current car so total for the next car I guess would be about $7,000 if not more O_o I dont feel to bad about it though. Considering my car has more suspension then most race cars and D1 sponsored cars. Also because the motor for my next car has 425hp/459lbs

i haven't driven it since i put the other motor in it b/c i will drive it hard and i will blow it up. but i put a header on it, a staright 2.25 exhaust to 2 borla mufflers. cost maybe 400.
i also had a 900.00 gts coupe, cone filter for 20.00, free adapter(took it off the rx7), muffler fell off,(free up some power and lost some weight), then i tossed a timing belt,20.00, used transmission, 150.00. then i got a 93 mr2, i traded the gts for it, the only thing i've done is replaced the rims i've broken and borrowed a sledge hammer to straighten the lower control arm.(curbs are a *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*) the cheaper way is the better way. beg, borrow, trade, and hunt down everything you want and do it yourself. thats what cost the most.

Werd man..after doing all that work on my RX7, I'm actually just considering picking up another car to learn to drift on, rather than destroy my 7 doing it. I think I'll save the 7 once I feel comfortable putting cars into drift...I'm actually considering all kinds of cars but I'm thinking about a miata, too cuz they're RWD light & nimble, and are respectable tuner cars.

I pay about the same: 2700 per year with a lot of cars on the policy. I dont complain tho , it should be more.

[Papasmurff]

We shouldnt call them cars, we should call them are everlasting money pit; But hey they are one of are greatest sources of joy and thats priceless and thats why I have a master card.

my tally for my 300:
$950-New cooling system, clutch fan, radiator, hoses, water pump all that crap, sad part its barly better than stock
$600-new clutch, flywheel, and power steering pump
$70-foglight assembly
$280-New t-tops
$have no ideal- routine maintance and tires

Sad thing is its still broken still waiting for money for master and slave cylinders and all that other crap that goes w/ when putting in a new clutch

I do have a courious question, how much do you guys pay for car insurance

me $1050 every six months just for libal.
