updated list some

 

And to think I have ONLY put 7K on mine since June!!

 

You beat me!

 

I know i have spent some money on mods this past year. It helps being out of college and single with no dependents. But i gotta slow down on the mods, so I can buy a house to keep the MINI in.

 

e30r56 - if you like, PM me with the option you originally chose, and what the corrected choice is supposed to be, and I'll adjust the poll accordingly.

 

A big hunk of my mods were forged wheels and summer tires for about $1800.
then,
MiniMania Intake, 160
Magnecor plug wires, 50
Denso spark plugs IK20, 30
power steering fan shroud, 40
Powerflex rear bar bushings, 30
tazzo vpc, 80
light-in-sight, 10
LED rear brake light mod, 40
Bluefin, 450
Fish'N'Chips badge, 10
Rogue "eyes" 20
Powerslot cryo rotors, 300
Hawk HPS brake pads, 300
ATE Super Blue fluid, 20
mahogony shift ****, 30
leather door handle covers, 20
leather knee pad, 10
Webb rear end-links 160
Milltek cat-back 700
Euro tray under steering wheel 80
Glove compartment insert 20
Bulbs - Osram 65W H9's on H7 bases x 4,
diadem front signal bulbs, silvered side indicators
with white lenses, rear backup halogen bulb, - about 150
M7 strut tower protectors 100


Almost $5,000 so far.

 

books and models count as mods?

 

No, but I put 'em on the list anyway.

 

I should add my tools and outfitting my garage then. can't do the mods without the means to install them.

 

If they're tools for doing a mod rather than stock service, why not list them.
I elected not to list a ton of detailing products, as I would be using them
whether or not I modified the car.
On second thought, most of the books and the models should go off the list.
Done.

 

I'm thankful that my wife is not on NAM $9,200 (..."honest honey, the car came with all these options...) That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

 

It looks we have either under $500 or over $2.5k.

 

Now, if I vote, will this be a combined $$ for both MINIs, or just mine?

 

You could add your house since you needed a storage space for tools and the MINI.

 

Haven't had the money to start modding yet really.
A Borla sport exhaust for $200
A free Alta stubby antenna from Mini Madness the wife won at their open house.
A free Alta gauge pod (not installed yet) from a club drawing
A free Whalen custom engrave **** from the MOTD 2007 Welcome dinner.
A free roof graphic from Cooper Flags at there Drawing at MOTD 2007, which the upgraded for $80 for a custom design.

So, that would be a grand total of $280.

 

Well spent, well spent ...

 

Thank you. The exhaust was just good timing. Someone here on NAM wanted to go back to stock and it was around our anniversary, so thats how I got that. The rest was just good luck.

The Whalen was probably my favorite thing I have won. Doug was a pleasure to deal with even though he was giving me something for free.

 

Can I claim moving/marrying my mechanic in this total?

 

Wouldn't that save you money?

Lets see if I can remember everything.........

• CAI $300

• Lights $110
• Speakers $400
• RSD $100

I think that is it. It comes to $11,265.00

I didn't add little things or previous tires and wheels and things like that.

 

I'd love to play your counting game guys... but at some point it just makes me look all the more foolish than the rest of you, so I'll opt out.

 

Well, if we don't count OEM stuff, then you should be around $50 right?
