How much money have you spent on your Celica?


Recommended Posts

Roughly.

I don't mean consumables like brake pads and bulbs, I mean additions, modifications or repairs.

Since owning the car in December, I've spent £1,500 on modernising and improving it. When people say "You never get that back", it's not the point - I spend money on it so I can enjoy it. I don't buy a car to sell it, I buy it to use it. So I don't regret any spending on it :)

What about you guys?

Well, last count was about £25k and that was way before I blew up the built engine.

I'd say now close to £30k.

Which, when you look at the likes of Adam Taylor's builds, isn't so bad!! :lol: I feel sorry for his credit cards! Haha

If I added in the cost of tooling up my garage for all the work like engine hoist and stands and special tools for a full engine rebuild, and then all top end oils and fluids over the past 5 years I will probably cry... Hahahaha

It was over £5000 plus the £11000 for the car but most of that was 10 years ago , did have around £3000 worth of parts that I bought over last 3 /4 years but am now using them on the newer Celica

Faff - £1500 for the car and around £600 - £700 which is mostly a mines ECU and top end rebuild. Had for almost a year.

190 - £700 for the car and around £200 - £250 mostly on spares from ams to get it back in shape. Had for just over a year.

My last faff cost £6000 (Cheap at the time) I spent £6000 on it. Had it two years and sold it for £6000.

.well unless you count 4 new F1s, new pads,discs, hoses, wheels+ refurb, spacers, eibachs, splitter (twice!!!) scoop, Sports M spoiler chrome rings, , various badges, short shifter, gaitor, , mook dials, and the AWD so that's ooooo sh*t not far off 3k :o and over that with labour and servicing. Guess I shall need to keep it and spank it to get the value then?

Yay! :D

this is one question that should never be asked. the amount of money spent is not important its the end result that counts. (plus all mods cost £10 or £50 for the bigger stuff, don't they? im sure that's what the girl friend/wife gets told by most :lol: )

don't really keep count to be honest but I do know that the body kit and paint was £2k-2.5k and the engine yet to be put in was some thing like £4k total, add to that the £800 for the car and then the rest of the stuff I would say £10k-15k and the mods haven't really started yet :lol::D
