How much have you put into your Sonic?

[slitzell]

I bought my Sonic late last June, with the intention of owning a very economical car that i wouldn't want to drop money into modding it(last cars: 350z, s2000). Oh boy how that quickly changed day 2 of ownership. I cam on the forum and read about the +30hp +50tq of the trifcta tune, and since then I have been doing things one after another lol.

Just wanted to see how much others have put into heir car via aftermarket modifications or adding stock parts that didnt come originally.

My estimate so far is about 5 grand

 

[Maddog2020]

$300 Tune
$26 Sunglass holders
$30 License holder
$18 Phone mount

$374 Not bad

 

[sonic007]

Im in about 650 with all the paint, springs, bushings, hids, and intake.

Quick list:
1) 15% Tint = $170
2) Trifecta Tune from BNR = $360
3) Derp'd bowties = $7 ish
4) DDM Test Pipe =$130
5) DDM Intake = $290
6) SLP Catback fit to Sedan/14" round Magnaflow Pype's turndown = $399+$65+$22
7) LTZ wheels with Conti DWS 245/45/17 = $300 (gift)+550
8) BNR/Forge BPV = $160
9) DDM shifter bushings = $20 (gift)
10) DDM Stainless Coil Cover = $30 (gift)
11) Motorsport-tech 19mm Wheel Spacers = $200
Which equals... to much money in an econmy car. Should have saved the money and worked on buying a Supercharger for the truck.

Mid pipe and trans mount are next on the list.

 

[ungawd]

About $2200 unless I forgot to add something.

well;

-300 for tune
-180 for downpipe
-240 for midpipe
-180 for the rest of it
-60 for resonator
-30 for coil cover
-300 for intake
-300 for BOV
-1000 for wheels and tires
-150 for foglights
-60 for tint
-150 for injectors
-85 for E85 tune

I'm sure I'm forgetting some things. But, that list tips me over 3 grand.

Ah, also forgot engine mount and trans mount, shifter bushings, ultragauge, shift knob, lowering springs.

So over 4 grand.

That Walmart shift knob probably set you back a pretty penny!

 

[rdss]

And that expensive Walmart shift knob!

It's in there as just "shift knob" in the additions that you quoted. He's hiding the fact that he bought it from there....

 

[Maddog2020]

Thanks, that's what I get for skimming.

Fixed and schooled!

Happened to me earlier!lol

 

[slitzell]

rdss will school you for not reading everything entirely. Just ask $ub

 

[rdss]

Nope, just him usually.

But back on topic!! Slitzell! You're up there with Eric on what you've dropped on your car!
