lets see:
1) Car $15,500



OMG, almost 16k for a celica.... JESUS

Anywho, my
car was $4500
CF Invader hood, bumper and sides = $450
rear bumper extensions and riser blocks about $350
PS2, TV/DVD/CD = $800
Rims and Tires = $900

So $7000 total for me.

P.s.
someone should go through and add up the total that EVERYONE spent on there car and see how much it is. Wonder if we got $150k worth of celica on here.

To live, is to sufferTo survive, thats to find meaning, in the suffering....
well i always wanted a 6gc so i saw it coming home from work, thought id take her for a spin, didnt know how good was credit was at the time. but for a 1999 and it had 50K miles on it, leather, sunroof, had new cooper zx2s, was looking all bling. sold i said, they wanted 18k for it, i got them down to 15,500.
I havent spent near as much as most of you guys, most of my stuff has been for repairs or keeping it running...

3500 for the car 8 months ago.
400 on clutch + install.
300 for radiator, headgaskets and all new belts.
150 in misc. interior things such as the seat covers, paint, etc.
300 on deck + speakers.
250 for jdm tails
65 for the diff front lights and bulbs and what not.
500 new starter and new power steering pump + line.
900 for tires + rims
100 for bumper.
300 i think for the bullet sides.

Total of like 6800 for the car and everything ive done to it. . . To think i coulda bought a nicer car for 5k and saved some money. Celica is my dream car, so its all worth it. (other then a supra)

I am now a part of the ihavemorethen16gc club!
prolly around $9500 on exterior, performance, and maintenance for mine. car cost me $7k. $16,500 for a car that can hang with the 200+hp bigger boys for a much lower price (and looks better than most biggrin.gif )...money well spent i would say smile.gif

bboy

..(formerly daily driven) 3S-GTE powered celica currently set @ 12psi..
Car for $6000

As for mods, I'm guessing around $3000 so far.
about 9k in work and fixing the car up after a minor accident. well worth it in my mind and more money will be going into her this summer.
more than i planned...

£1000'ish for new engine etc etc frown.gif
£480 full ss exhaust
£45 TRD filter
£180 Sony headunit
£120 Spoiler blocks + painting
£50 Momo gear knob
£100 G-Max lowering springs(not on yet)

Unsure what that is in $$'s...

351.5bhp RWD TT

KYB - $200
Dropzone coilovers - $130
Tein SS - $1250

holy freaking crap. those numbers are crazy. actually, i'll probably end up in the 10,000 range when i graduate and start working. for now i'm broke and unemployed and rely on x-mas and b-day and allowance money. i feel bad if i spend thousands of my parents' money for projectors, 96+ bumper, splitters and skirts, 4a-ge engine swap, and a bunch of other stuff. expect my numbers to go up within the next 5 years.

ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.

2200's pretty good considering you've got a 5s-fte. especially compared to some other people on here. some of you guys must be really rich... or really broke after spending all that money.
