Post What am I getting in to??

So Ive had my Z for a little over a month now, and have been doing small mods. But then I started wondering when will it stop? So Im asking everyone here " How much do you have into your cars not including the cost of your cars? "

This is one of those questions its come to the point that I don't want to think about how much I have in the car...Probably close to the amount that I have paid for it. would be my answer.

Mods? I think it would be easyer for me just to list the things that aren't changed in the car.

I own you

Now that is a good question. How do you honestly go about answering this? Should you list the labor, the products, or even the blood sweet and tears in doing your own labor? Well, here it is. A LOT!!!! The best reason I do not stop is because you can never have to many mods or hp. It is just fun

My mods:

I got the HPP and 160* t-stat for free since I was the beta car for Hypertech, so don't count that as $$$.
