I got my 2000 S2000 3 Months ago. I told my self I would keep it stock. Wrong!!!!! All the mods I have listed below have been purchased all in 1 1/2 month. Car is currently in the shop still. Getting new paint job, have the kit put on. When I get it back I still have to install the springs, order tires for my wheels. WOoOOsh!! Did I spend some money this month or what! My car will be ready for NOPI!!! I hate people my age that have their parents buy everything for them. I am 20 Years old. This is my second car. I pay for everything... And I appreciate my car very much. I have worked so hard to get the money for all the mods! No im not a drug dealer. But I still live with my parents, rent money goes to the car.... HEHEHE!! More mods too come.... Deciding on which seats to get. Any suggestions. Ill post some pics when I get it back from the shop.

sup pinoydarv, nice list of mods, money goes really quick. I have to agree with you on the whole "parents buy everything for them" issue. Oh well, that will always be. Hope to see your car soon.

 

The scary thing would be if you could actually see how much you've spent on GAG & maint. Most of us don't even think twice about getting gas as the pump just rolls away sucking penny after penny out of our pockets because we self consciously think, "Well it's not that I want to, I gotta fill up" So I bet that $20-$25 a week will add a pretty penny to your list.

Oh, probably another couple hundred in various labour.

Not a ton of money, but it will be once I blow $2500-3000 on rims/tires, buy some springs, and finish my stereo...

 

How about the time invested? In the car and this site!

 

yeah... quite a lot of money. imagine if you toast the car or got into an accident and your insurance doesn't cover those parts you have invest soo much money into. the thought of that just makes me sick that insurance company don't cover after market parts. oh well... life goes on.
