speddmn Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 always save your receipts. never add it up. never. Good advice, i did this on the last car i modded hit $40k. I have never thought of that car the same way since, totally took the joy out. I flat out refuse to ever do it again. Do it for the love of cars and motorsports, its financial stupidity.

z28dreams Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) Not including regular maintenance, very little. I'm a bang-for-the-buck kind of guy. Transmission Cooler - $50 Tactrix Cable - $70 Open Source Tune - FREE TOTAL: $120 Maintenance so far has been: $350 for 30k service + transmission cooler install included all synthetic fluids $20 pennzoil platinum oil change Other BS requirements: Insurance: $400/6 months VA personal property tax: $200 (bastards) Title/DMV tax - probably $500ish Next up: tires & brakes. I'm guessing it'll be around $350 for tires, not sure how much for brakes. Mods aren't killing me - it's standard maintenance.
