How much did you spend on your RX8 so far?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Just out of curiosity, how much did you guys spend on your RX8 in terms of modification? Not maintenance...

I just spent another $$$ on MS upgrade.
So far, I have spent $5k on top of RX8 purchased from day one brand new. See my signature for details.

I love the look of Mazdaspeed RX8 Version 2. However, it will take me another $5K to complete this project. ($3K for MS body kit, $2k for suspension). :D

mebbe $2500.

but the thing is the upgraded pieces were all replaced because the OE part needed to be replaced. (ie, muffler was bent when someone swiped me when i was parked.)

if i look at things just replaced for no reason. its more like $800. but thats jumping with my CAI in the mail (yay teamrx8). coming really soon are my race pipe and eibach pro kits.

There a good elemententary school down the street.

Jedi54 08-20-2008 10:23 PM

the number is not comprehendable by such small minded people so I spared you the headache. ;)

NgoRX8 08-20-2008 10:27 PM

it only hurts when you make a list of the costs.

mysql 08-20-2008 10:29 PM

$40.00

alz0rz 08-21-2008 12:19 AM

something like $5,000?

Brettus 08-21-2008 12:22 AM

The amount i've spent pales into insignificance against the money I could have made if I didn't waste so much time on here .

NgoRX8 08-21-2008 12:27 AM

get back to work. those numbers should be even.

Jedi54 08-21-2008 01:29 AM

$2k in the last 30 days alone...

JTtheDude 08-21-2008 09:15 AM

Over $3K so far and I have a lot more on my to do list

XlYesterdaYlX 08-21-2008 10:27 AM

less than 500 so far.

kvndoom 08-21-2008 03:18 PM

Monthly payment and gas. I'm hell-bent on finishing getting the 6 paid off by next spring. Only mod I have planned for the RX8 is getting rid of those god-awful stock speakers for something really nice.
