92 Z71 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I know everyone says these are money pits, but I just wondered how big the pit gets lol. I just got my banshee this last summer for $2500 and so far I've spent another $2100 in upgrades/mods. I know I'm still nowhere close to having all I want for it though so the spending will continue. I would like to hear from everyone else how much you've spent on your banshee's to get them to where you want them and also if you ever regretted spending the money on it. I'm pretty sure you would not get anywhere close to what you have into it if you ever decided to sell it. So far I haven't regretted any of my spending, it's something I like. Now everyone elses turn! :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellicoseBanshee Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 With a cub banshee, 2 Rs, and a '69 Camaro, I am a day away from divorce papers :woot: (not really, I married a woman, not a girl). The more I spend, the more I need to spend, Hahaha! BTW, every purchase comes with a bigger shovel, effectively increasing the size of the pit. :miner: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shogs Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 3g`s. cheapest one i built yet. Fuck you...seriously. :biggrin: I paid 2000g's for my near stock banshee with vf3's, fatty pipes, and a few other things. I'm getting arms and elkas for the front (800), Want to get a carb setup (3-400), and want to replace all my bearings in the rear end and maybe the hubs if i have to (50-100). It's really hard to put money into one specific item on your banshee because you always have one little part thats holding you back. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
