If the numbers on your poll include maintenance, you truly have no idea how much it costs to properly maintain an FD....
Hell, I'm close to $3k on just my few mods (and the PFS intake and SMIC were USED!).
If you include maintenance, almost everyone here will be in the "cashing out their IRA" category.....

Heh, I think you need a few more choices on the upper side! I've spent over $4K in maintenance only in past 1 1/2 years of ownership (most of it was a new engine).

I think your poll chart needs another set of zeros added...
...but guys like jimlab would probably still go over that.
This "cheaps cake" has spent about 25 grand, not even counting routine repairs.

Modding a Third Gen Rx-7 is like CRACK COCAINE &/OR HEROINE. It sucks you in and you just keep wanting more...

Bought car in 1995 for $20K with extended warranty. they paid $11k for new motor, tranny, air pump, suspension pieces.
Since 1999 I have spent about $15K out of pocket for wheels, new paint, IC, dp, cb, roll bar, bushings, and a parts car for $2500K.
Still cheaper than a 911 or NSX .
