I was bored at work the other day, and added up how much I spent on Topgia since I got her, 13 months ago.
- $8900 - Car - $1950 - VSI conversion (after the $2000 rebate) Than the mod bug started bitting - $2200 - Wheels & Tyres ( after trading in/selling 4 different sets of wheels & tyres, 16", 19", 18" and curent 17") - $1600 - Suspension (after 2 different spring/shock combos) - $800 - Brakes - $1700 - Engine - $1150 - Audio/Visual - $500 - Interior - $1500 - Exterior/Cosmetic - $500 - Misc - $350 - Maintenance (she's been pretty reliable, only top radiator hose and trans speed sensor) Almost $12K in mods + car = $21K The car is insured for $12K. I didn't realize I spent so much, gotta fix that and increase agreed value a bit. Would I do it again? The answer is YES! There is no price for satisfaction! So, how much have you spent on your ORSM car and would you do it again?

-$free = car
-$350 = window tint -$2000 = LPG (no grant) -$1100 = Stereo (equpiment) -$300 = Stereo (Boot setup) -$200 = steering wheel setup -$2125 = exhaust, CAI, K&N pannel filter, plugs and leads -$1400 = Wheels -$600 = Lowering -$600 = Bonnet and front bar spray -$400 = Plates -$400 = Misc =$9475. Jeez now that i look at it i realise why my parents have said to stop spending money on the car. hahahah. oh well i dont think they will be happy when i tell them its gonna cost me more money to change the engine lmao. its funny when you add it all up. when i tell people my mods i usually just say wheels lowered and an exhaust. its not till times like this you realise how much you have actually spent. matt

Tao wins.
I've probably spend around $50,000 all up including mods and car. Could easily think of another $50,000 to spend on the car right now.

Wow some of you guys are crazy spenders! And I thought I was bad! But as Bud said, can't put a price on satisfaction, not that anybody ever is satisfied!
