Thread: Where do you draw the line?

Depends on what you have to start with.
If you include rims and other appearance mods i would stop around 2k. May be higher if you are N/A.

That depends on how original you want to be. Were money not an object... carbon fiber unibody, rwd twin-turbo 454ci LSx '00 GP coupe sounds sweet.

what i paid of it,
EX: i paid 3k for my car, so my goal is to put 3k into it. Unless i wont to go super racekar status then i nos care about the moneys

I originally told my self I just wanted rims tint and a solid 3.4 set up. Now im buying and IC and gen V. Mod bugs man.. theyll get ya

i think over the cars lifespan... id spend around 1500... just to get me where i wanna be low 13's high 12's

$3500 for the car. $200 on tint. $1150+/- on rims and tires. That's what I have in it. In my current position, another $2000 would be about it. An L36/L26 swap, a cam or rockers, some lowering springs, GT or Monte interior, and light bodywork/paint.

plan on spending 3k on GP for mods, lowering springs, some motor work, vette brakes

i have another car to piss my money away on.

It probably won't end for me..i got the car planning on keeping it stock how it was, but i already spent a whole lot of money on repair work and mods. I hate being broke.

if i had more money honestly id be driving something different. but while i have a cheap dependable car im going to do what i want to it. my goal is to not exceed what i paid for the car. i payed 5k. so ill put 4,999.99 into it. then probably falter and throw more in

Pretty sure that would no longer be a GP. Maybe a GP shell but thats about it.

If money were no object, I'd never have bought a GP in the first place.

I took a look at having a low cost car.

Car $1400
Fix/upgrade suspension and radio, add a couple other creature comforts. I have about $5K into my car with all the stuff I've done. Over 3-5 years...that's a cheap car.

America loves underdogs. I don't care how fast a lambo is. I want to see a cheap piece of junk grocery getter sh#t on everyone's lunch. It also helps if the car's comfty and roomy and useful for passengers/junk... like a W-body.

I paid $2500 for mine and have about $500 in repairs and upgrades so I think I've done prety good. I'll probably throw some more money at it before to long though.

$30K on the car
$3-4K on upgrades, gotten married and have a baby girl now that are more important then my personal wants so I think I am done

I have put double what I paid for my car. I love my ****box so I'll probably end up spending a couple more g's. If I had to do it all over I'd still do the same. When/if the car ever goes up for sale it will be priced well below what I have invested.

Then it's on to a Fiero....
