mines owes me around 16 including buying it also, weird how its miles of sock's spec although i do have one reciept for just under 9k not to mention everything else turbo kits exhausts all my wheels brand new etc

its scary but alot of people do far worse with their money !

[Flynn]

Jesus! More money going into some of the cars on this forum than i ever gave credit for............but as stated above, loads of other shit that could have eaten up way more! Im not gonna work out whats gone into mine so far (not crazy though because i got the car for peanuts) but i spent a good 10 years trying to smoke all the weed in the world and have nothing more than a shitty memory to show for it lol.......way i look at it is. Working on the car keeps me amused, i enjoy doing it and im learning more every day!

Some peoples cars are just to get them from a to b......mines my hobby

It's not worth adding up. If I didn't waste money on cars I'd find a new and elaborate way to waste my money.

I cant get my head round how you can spend all that. Both my starlets owe me next to nothing. 1 of them is my td04 ep95 and the other is an unbuilt mk2 but all the parts are here. Granted none of mine are forged or anything special but they owe me around 2k between them! I could sell one of them for double that!

[JordanEP91]

I don't feel so bad now after seeing a lot of people with high spec cars spending that kind of money I suppose it all worth it, the misses was going to me you could buy a brand new car for the money you have spent, it's like yeah but it's not a starlet

[daniel_g]

I suppose a fair wack of peoples money goes on labour, several mapping sessions etc. ? And changing setups 2 or 3 times would eat a lot of cash.

2004 - 2013.

Best I not think about it tbh, given the exhaust ventures, wheel ventures, resprays, conversion, block change...I dread to think, well into double figures though, scary.

I like this analogy spending smaller amounts having a well spec'd car that you can enjoy and not stress that it costs more than most show room cars

[bucketep91]

Nah u need to drive them to enjoy them lol ive drivin mine ( briefly) 3 times max, havent even hit full boost yet haha

[morgey]

A lot of mine was buying used parts then having to buy a decent set afterwards or buying/making parts that then needed upgrading or correcting.

Patience helps and the old saying buy cheap buy twice. Are both things I've learnt since owning this car.

[Liam_D]

I would say at a guess 8k for everything. Worth the money though as I know they'll never be another exactly the same and this ones built to my personal tastes!

[shorty]

My black v was around 20k odd and the ep85 was about 10k as alot was left over from my black v.

[Chris Green]

Mine is into double figures and it just lay down again FFS.

3 engines two rebuilds, the list goes on.

Cant seem to chuck enough money at it and it still wont fucking work...

[hookie663]

I dread to even tink never mind add up wat I've spent on mine it just feels lik a money box with no arises lol but I Lov still makes me smile every time I drive it

[JamesD89]

I have got 1600 odd in receipts without any fitting costs or used parts bought on here and only had the car since september ridiculous but well worth it gotta have a hobby.

[Seba]

I have my beauty 5 years and I spend around 17k euro + 5k euro for car but I think I will spend more and more euro

That's very expensive hobby but I love that !!

[JLF88]

[Spoon_tuned]

Got to be done sometimes mate ;)

[Aamir]

£1630, it looks shit, doesn't start and I have put a lot of time in to it. Hopefully will be worth it in the end

Bought My first V in may of this year (2013) it cost me 3k to buy and i spent 600 on it buying new tyres and general maitinence..

Sold it for 2500 in november and bought a better speced one for 1200 quid more..

i plan to forge it and upgrade the turbo as this one is a far better base having the emanage ecu better brakes less miles etc... Im guessing my figure will be almost 10k once finished including buying the car.

Not sure what it is about these cars but they feel asif they have alot of character..

I've owned a few clios in the past one of wich was a 197.. And i found them boring and quite regular and within the space of a month i was spending a few hundred on upgrading that (my 197) (spent 300 on a decat for stupidly low bhp gain) before finally selling up.. With both the glanzas i have owned its been a diffrent story, i always have a smile on my face everytime I've driven them and i also love to have a little look back at it in car parks when i lock it up and walk off (sad i know) also the reaction from other people is great too.

I guess if your enthusistic and passonite about something then the cost is irrelevant as long as it keeps you happy and puts a smile on your face.

Happy new from me to everyone on UKSO too incase i forget

Mark,

[Chris_GlanzaV98]

some people can get away with it with things like being able to build/fix cars and having a decent place to do it, im lucky enough to have a garage but im not the bravest at stripping down something ive put so much money into should anything go wrong, saying that i dont mind too much now as me and a mate are moving into a unit

[Glanza Mac]

3 engines, over 10k easy and this is how it looks...

Will be spending around 8k in 2014 to make it a 10 sec 1/4 mile and around 6/700bhp machine :-)
