How much $$$ into your 3gee!?

[REn0]

I have been torn between lots of bodywork and $$$ and selling my 3gee, considering the cash i'd be dumping in. Just curious as to how much everyone has tossed into thiers? and if there is any regrets?

[AccordEpicenter]

ehh maybe 9k?

[EricW]

At least 6K probably more.

[newaccorddriver]

maybe 8k so far into everything associated with it... i regret buying the accord itself:violin:

too late to stop spending money on it though

[accord upset]

total 5640+ like the 3gee,, just not a fan of replacing stuff that wears out, i feel like i had to fix mine befor i even got to stock specs. might do it again thou i would look harder for a cleaner starting vechial thou.

[frantik]

including the price of the car over $5k. When i got it I had all the belts and seals replaced as well as the oil and water pump.. some pricey jobs but the car runs ilke a champ :D

[88Accord-DX]

Somewhere in the neighborhood of $2,000 - $2,500..

[Hash_man_Se_i]

For the car, $1800CDN... And in parts and such so far, somewhere in the neighborhood of $5-6000.

And so far I dont regret anything, I can't wait till spring though, no way i'm starting to install stuff with winter around the corner.

[Crazybird]

umm ok stereo is the only thing ive done sooo lol almost 2k oo and plus my lights and all the gass its been through hey can sumone figure that out i have 464000 kms can sumone figure out how much gas on average ive been through

oo and i havnt done anything to my body yet or engine which is next on the list lol

[89l_x_i]

ive probably spend about 1k or so not to bad for a 17 year old car. The most expensive was the reaplacing the clutch and speed sensor unit (235 bucks and that was due to a shop fucking it up, never go with the cheapest shop. ive learned my lesson) i think ive had it really cheap with this car not to shabby and il probably spend around 200 this months since im going to replace my brake pads and rotors.

[bullard123]

Hmmm About 9k like Accord Epicenter. But thats with a soon to be installed B2oa and all the other cutom work that is dne to the car. I don't regret putting that much into my 3gee because its realiable and I plan on having it for another 10 years. Not to mention its really good on gas lol.

[Vanilla Sky]

i have about $500 in the one i have now. that's the price i payed for the car. i only plan on making the car run well stock for now. the body isn't up to snuff for what i want to do. i'll drive it pretty much as is with only the repairs, then sell it and break even. i just need something that's cheap to run. eventually, i'll have an LXi.

[ZackieDarko]

+1 on gas

i filled up for 29.99 saturday before last...and im just now at 1/2 tank! :-p

just oil changes and wipers for me..so not much at all

[REn0]

ok, im starting to feel better about getting my stuff done! keep um comin!

[mkymonkey]

probably around 4k

[sinisterfuzzy]

this summer alone $4000+ owe my dad a shitload of money, yes i regret it lol. the car was sweet and i've had good times, but, i wish i saw more of my paycheck in my pocket

not counting 600 of fines that i have got in this car lol.. or counting my new engine i am rebuilding which has only currently had the block and head plained and cleaned

[labeledsk8r]

im guessing so faar i have spent around 3 grand?? in parts only not counting the car itself, still looks like hell on the outside and well the engine still apart, but i dont regret any of it, just like was mention beofr, wish i woulda had a cleaner car to start with, bady damge is an ugly thing to have

[Pico]

I've spent around $3500.00 and plan on a little more...:D

[Versanick]

not counting labor hours for it being josh (b20aTURBO's shop car), $13k including what he and I have both put into it.

at least $15k at $20/hr labor

[Hash_man_Se_i]

^^^ umm, why have I never seen pics of this car?lol

Oh and come to think of it, I probably have about $4k just into stereo, so I'm more in the $7k range.

[snoopyloopy]

car - free
maintenance right after we got it to fix some electrical bugs + timing belt and all that stuff - $1100
alternator - $300
starter - $300
pioneers at all 4 corners - $120
brake pads - $80 (because i bought some, then they got lost, so i had to go buy more)
oil changes - $120
wipers - $20
dcs headers + hi-flow cat + full cat-back - $350
civic sri - $15 (gotta love walmart)
teg sri - $18 (+ $18 shipping)
4g tb - $50
steering wheel radio controls - $30
armrest - $45
eq - $30
battery - $40

so i've probably spent about $700 total on stuff not related directly to maintenance. not bad, not bad at all. now i feel better about thinking about spending money on a turbo set-up.

[Jasonf860]

Pretty sure I have around $1800 into my car. That includes $550 purchase price.

[military mase]

[CURS T]

On mods alone + price of vehicle without adding up the cost parts that need replacement , i would have spent about 13k.

Parts maybe another 2k if that - hondas are good like that :)

[guaynabo89]

25-30k probably more. not counting what I paid for it back in 93

[BITESIZE]

25-30k probably more. not counting what I paid for it back in 93



Holy shit Guanynabo!!!!! No wonder she is so beautiful! I don't feel like such an underdog now! I'm at maybe $6,000 or $8,000.:violin:

[A18A]

about $160, $60 on a head gasket (which i found a little while later on trademe for $20 :slap:) $20 on paint, body filler etc.. and about $40 on petrol, $40 or so for a wof. and its semi legal :D

and next about $150 for a rego :(

[Hash_man_Se_i]

25-30k probably more. not counting what I paid for it back in 93

holy moly... I guess the car speaks for itself though, so clean. and back in 93 our cars cost quite a bit. I think my dad paid $11,000 for our old se-i, which was a really good deal back then.

[ChaseR]

so far about $4 grand including the car, I havent even driven the car yet, I got it on eBay....

[TWOLOUDNPROUD]

I dont want to know how much i have in my accord But i tell you this i will keep putting money in my Accord to keep it Going I love My Accord:rockon:

[theDougler]

so far paid 800 for the car and 60 for intake 180 for exhaust and other stuff probably in 1200 still lots of work to do yet

[lostforawhile]

enough to buy a new s2000 off the lot and change left,thats all I'll say

[w261w261]

edit

[A18A]

im just off 2 get a battery for my car and a rego... and then i have to pay the sister back some how :S

[lostforawhile]

25-30k probably more. not counting what I paid for it back in 93
you are the only person on here who has spent as much as I have on a hatch,hopefully mine will look as nice with paint. it's been many years of work so far.

[chickensandwich]

so far its less than a "gee" (1 grand)
and i seriously bought the car for 2 "gees"
so that means ive spent 3 "gees" on my 3gee!!! oOoOh mMyYyyy lmao

[87lxiaccord]

Probably about $2,000
maybe more

[Steve_Si]

So far:

3G 2.0Si
Alarm
Fat fives
5 speed parts
F1 interior parts
Fog lights

US$1875 approx, including the car itself

[bobafett]

meh 10k ish and slowly still counting and definitely not driving it

[mushroom_toy]

3gee = free
Repairs and parts I've replaced since I've had the car = around $600
Upgrades = around $200
Wheels = free(trade)
Tires = $142
Misc = At Most $200

So I'm at about $1142 :)
All my turbo parts I have so far were free....hoping to keep it that way while gathering more. :)

[MessyHonda]

car-500
brakes-500(drilled and sloted on all 4 corners AEM pads, SS lines)
suspension-300
rims+tires- 300
regular upkeep-300 bucks(timing belt, belts water pump, radiator)

cheap car with parts....sucks to all the guys who pay alot of money.


this year i havent done lots of modding like i would like but i got
tint, 2 way alarm, finished installing my stereo set up, exhaust done. and then finish up the header as soon as i find my missing piece.

[ahmad89]

i'd say about $1k-$1500 and its not running at the moment.

[Hans]

3gee = free
brake repairs = 500
replace clutch (stock) = 700
fix stripped spark plug hole = 500
soon a rear main trans seal = 400?
paint = 1500
audio = 275
exterior = 60
interior = 70
exhaust = 300
engine dress up and misc = 40

So... $4345 including a yet to be fixed rear main seal, and except for a muffler my car is stock performance wise. I've driven her hard at times, but she keeps asking for more. And not really any of the repairs were from my driving, mostly passage of time. I love the 3gee and will never get rid of her.

[RobT5580]

I stopped counting at $15k and was like what the hell is wrong with you...But i love my car and still have the will to finish it even though it is no where near done. Body work can be very expensive depending on who you know or what you want but if you like your accord enough its worth it.

['A20A3']

I'd say 5-7 grand...and i haven't even boosted it yet, paint, tires...still gotta lot to spend...:rant:

[Tomisimo]

around 3k so far. and no where near my gol yet.

[89T]

10k+ and that reminds me i need to stop rebuilding shit.
i still have full head work to be done, and find a way for the trans to hold a shit load more tourque.
i am looking for 25-35lbs of boost in the coming years.
i already have like 5 grand more spent before i even have it.

[backhatcher]

300 bucks so far and that was a matching parts car the actual car cost me a 95 cavalier
