RE: How many money's did you put into your car?
Idk in total
(all these are approximate and by memory so could be totally wrong)
~400 for pads and new rotors
~Power steering fluid. 3 bottles thus far
~60 for oil change with Aimsoil (I have the wholesale price through a friend)
~20 for two valve cover gaskets
Things that need to be done
~1200 soon for power steering rack and install
~ I probably need new tires soon too.
~ 800 for Timing belt sometime in the next 20K-30k or so
thats what I can think of right now
and it has 196k on the clock so I'm really considering selling it and seeing how much I can make from an uninformed buyer.( not screwing them over but trying to get closer to what a dealer would charge maybe)

im still bone stock.
i havent done anything other than basic maintenance, which i dont figure as a real "upgrade"- thats money thats expected to be spent here and there.
next plan is REVO chip, DV, boost gauge- thats gonna be 1000 next month.
next after that is january where i will do the full timing belt stuff (im approaching 60k) and thats gonna be another 1000.
next after that in feb or march will be suspension- thats gonna be about 1200.
next after that is a set of wheels (to remain secret for now) that will be reasonable @ 1000 with tires.
so im thinking about 3200 in mods, 1000 in timing belt, and thats about it.
im pretty happy with the car and other than scheduled maintenance and the stuff listed above i will be satisfied.
the only other thing i would consider in a year or so would be a new paint job...maybe??
