My car was ~4500

Ansa Exhaust
CAI
RD chip
Bilstein sports/H&R springs
Sparco Torino's
wheels.

This summer I'll be throwing in a cam, headers, new tires, sway bars.
That should all be in by mid-July.

Other than that I'm installing new tierods, and I've done quite a few repairs on the electrical system which keeps shitting out on me.

With all that stuff i should be right around 10k.

The only thing I've bought for my new car is an HKS bov, but I've only has the car less than 2 weeks.

But my CRX, jesus I spent WAY too much on that thing.
$3k for the car when it was just a b16, and I spent well over $10k on it over the past year.

bought the car for about 8500 back in '01 (it's a 97 civic ex coupe). invested maybe $20k including the car. keep in mind though that i went through a ricer phase where i painted the car yellow and gto a kit...that stuff alone was almost $5k. the $20k includes the ricer phase.
