How much have you8 guys spent modding and doing major repair work to their leggy. Major is replacing the engine, tranny etc., anything around 500 bucks. I'd estimate my work at $2,700.

I've said it b4 but I think I'm up to 7 or 8 grand, I think I lost track

including the price of the car. less than 7g's and it walks on my bros 22k 350z.

1100$

$300 to buy the wagon.

$3500 max but this is with the supercharger upgrade, two engine rebuilds, new clutch, shocks, brakes, and ALL the extra NO2 crap that I purchased (enough to hook up 3 cars), extra blocks, extra heads, injectors manifolds and so on.

How much did it cost you to rebuild your engine? What all did you do and how long did it take?

Engine rebuild costs.

Rebuild heads $150-175
Full gasket set $120
Pistons $120
Rings $50
Clutch $150-$400
Misc $100

Total Cost $690-965 for basically a new engine with new clutch if the bearings are in good shape.


If you can somehow get a set of new/rebuilt heads ahead of time, then you can actually do this in a weekend (but a long one!) but most likely you will be down for about a week.

Look here for a FAQ and tips.

In go-fast alone, not counting gremlin hunting and repair, under 5k or so.

$400 for the car.
about 1000$ in repairs including:
fender 125
passenger-side door, complete 125
new tires 400
windshield 220
driveshaft 80

Traded EJ22T for car, 20$ for oil changes and 30$ for paint.... So 50$ total.

About $700 in repears.
Mods - another $600. It would cost more to put the stuff in the car, if I didn't have a 50% discount at one of the shops.
That is not including normal wear replacements (belts, CV boots), and basic services (oil changes).

About $3,000 keeping the car running smoothly (ABS module, steering rack, various seals, ECU harness damage, brakes and general maintance) and around $2,000 for upgrades (TBE, wheels, tires, brakes and suspension).

And thats only the begining

Upgrades - turbo rims, rear brakes, stereo, and a few misc. stuff coming to around $700.

Up keep - LCA, tires, half-shaft, ball joint, plugs, misc. is probably around $500.

Someday I'll be out of school and won't be poor and then the money starts getting spent.

Upkeep comes to about a grand that I've spent, and probably $1500 my parents have spent, and they also bought the car for $6500 in 2000.

I've spent a little over $1000, for STi take-offs, Group N rear tops, WRX front brakes, and everything to put in a turbo Legacy rear sway bar.

Really don't wanna think about it

by the end of this summer, we'll be looking at just over $6500, plus the $3200 for the car, and around $150 in tune-up parts. Then I'll need a new transmission.

Thankfully the ghetto garage tends to be self supporting. In January when I blew my motor, I happened to sell a tranny the same day for what my replacment block cost. Last month when I blew my tranny, I sold a block for a bit more than the replacement cost me. It seems to be circular...

God, i dont even want to think about it. It's over 10k tho. Not to mention all the sweat, blood and time that its eaten. I found the cam gears are really good at carving off flesh.

so far $200 for the car and $650 for the tranny. Thats going to change big time this fall when im done with college and acutally start making money .
