God, if i had 10k to spend on a car in the first place, id deffo need to budget in another 10k to at least tripple the output, or else you might as well just have an ax with a busa engine.
Absolutely this, I have had the modifying bug since long before i was old enough to drive. Within a couple of years of using a computer i had built my own from component parts, same goes for my bicycles, have custom-built six of the things from individual parts. How often do you buy something and think, "this does everything i want it to, and more"? Smarthphones don't count btw, they've mastered the art of including more crap than you will ever use in one small package!
I think budget is a big part of it too, there's very little in my price range that does what i want it to as standard, therefore i must "fix" it. And the fact that i'm a bloody awkward shape lol. I quite like beating the system too, my computer/car/bike does this, this and this and only cost a 5th of what yours did, i win! I realise that's quite a childish way to look at it, but hey, i enjoy the competition.
