How much money did you really put into your legacy?

[TRSCobra]

Purchased the car in March '08 for $18k, so far I've got probably $15-16k into it total.

 

Built motors are expensive!

[Kreamer67]

bought the car for 14 after taxes and shizzle and im now at 22k with a built motor and some basic bolt ons. 12.7 was my best time on the stock turbo. so its kinda iffy on whether its worth it or not.

Downhill with a tailwind...

^Maybe e85/meth?

[Kreamer67]

open down pipe. i also have a built bottom end bored .020 over with TGV deletes. being 50 degrees-ish outside helps too.

I'm not gonna argue with you man, you're probably the only LGT running a bored engine on stock turbo so there's no real "data" to say what kind of power you "should" be putting down. But none of your claims have really been supported by evidence. If you really did put down those numbers on a stock turbo, then I applaud you. But most of us know what the VF40/46 is capable of up top and that knowledge does not support the claim of a 108mph trap speed. That's the end of my arguement. In the end, if you did, you know it, and that's all that matters.

 

Thanks for the link... regardless of numbers, your car is solid.

For just a second there at the end of the video, I thought the guy said "sh!tty Camry"!

True, ill have to find and upload track slips in another thread sometime when i find them again ( did alot of moving ) the turbo has since been upgraded and what not, the trap speed may have been 106 or 107 . still however, the DA that day was somewhere in the range of -700. so im assuming that probably helps alot, also with being 50 degrees out

 

but thanks. and lol yeah that cameras a piece of garbage. my better camera fell out of my buddies pocket on the freeway (motorcycle). so i kinda got screwed there.

I've hit 104mph on a stage 2 protune, full (catted) exhaust, and 2 cracked ringlands, so this doesn't sound too far fetched.

Nice!

 

How long did the ringlands last?

[TRSCobra]

They lasted til I decided to replace the whole shortblock, which was actually about 5k miles. The car ran fine, just cranked over funny and was low on power.

 

My times were all over that day. Since the computer was detecting a false knock from the ringlands rattling around, I had to repeatedly reset the ECU.

[Soda Popinski]

Just spent another 1500 on the sound system. Focal k2 powers all around, a jl 10w7 sub (might sell the sub if its too bassy) cleansweep amp n wiring

^that explaisn why it would cut wgdc down to 0

[CTATV]

purchased for 24,500 with 26k miles on it, suspension, brakes, stage 3 power... probably no more than 5 or 6 grand.

 

currently at 95,000 miles stage III for my daily driver. drive 500 to 1200 miles a week

[DRoc7822]

I only have about 1100 into it.... which is crazy cause it feels like I havent even bought anything for it. Still trying to figure out what I wanna do with the car. Go all out... do a few things and leave it... or just keep it stock.

[dr_sharp]

You've already spent 1100... just make it 11000 and be done.

[GTLEGACY007]

I, like some others, keep an excel file with every penny spent on the car. This includes mods, maintenance, and gas. It also gives me a way to track how much i've driven the car down to the mile. Yeah, i'm one of those people haha. Anyways, I bought the car on 12/5/09, and since then i've driven 17,416 miles, spent $2,857.30 on gas, $1,497.21 on maintenance, and $6,079.25 on mods.

I do the same, although not with gas.

 

I keep track of mod, cost, installation date, and installation mileage. No maintenance though.

[Soda Popinski]

I've gotta be pushing 16k into upgrades now. But I still love the car =)

[BAC5.2]

I thought about keeping an Excel sheet of everything, but just got bored with keeping track. I do track fuel and mileage, but that's really it. If I paid someone else to do the labor, then I'd keep track. But I don't, so it's not even worth thinking about.

[1454]

im $2k paid into a built motor, and with the parts list im looking at for a complete build, upwards of $15k to go. IM SO F'ED:spin:

 

I disagree, I think it depends on how long you plan on keeping the car. I plan on keeping mine for a long, long time. I would eventually like to get a CTS-V or M35/45x but that will be a few years. Until then, I plan on putting a decent chunk into this one. It's really the first car I have ever owned that I want to spend money on.
