Sanchez Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 Well my car has been off the road now for over a year, and in that year i have spent a small fortune in buying parts for a big powered build...It has crossed my mind a few times to break the car and move on, but both times had found abit of inspiration from the forums and my mates, and decided to crack on with it.But summer is nearly here, im sick and tierd of not having my own car and there is still more money to be spent to get her the way i wanted, not to mention how much more time till its completed??I just dont know what to do, it will pain me to break as i have come so far, but i feel i am loosing interest?I know when/if she gets road worthy again i will love it, but for how long?Went out in my mates silvia the other day, and i think i want a 200 now.What you guys think?

durmz Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 maaaate, you cant break before its finished! u dont know what ure missing out on yet! tbh though this is why im building mine in stages rather than one huge build, that way its only off the road for small amounts at a time Quote
Sanchez Posted May 20, 2010 Author Posted May 20, 2010 lol cheers for the support guys, really not sure.And Durmz, that was the plan mate, but when the engine failed had no choice but to go all out lol????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Quote

bucketep91 Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 dont be so silly if you break it now you'l wonder forever what it "would" have been like and you will never know, take a week off,de stress and try not to think about it and then get back on it! when its finished you will love it! you know im right!

LOLZ so what needs doing?I would quite happly donate you £5 if other members would do so aswell to stop you selling up and carry on with you're build Quote
Glanza_cl Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 i totally know the feeling man... i put so much money into my V it just felt like pouring money down the drain. you put soo much in but it still just needs more!you get to the point where your like wtf! this is silly... but spending all that and not even getting the chance to enjoy what you created will be killer, you will always have that 'what if' feeling. what if i finished it, how would it feel? what if i had just stuck it out? what would i have now?I say finish what you started, there is always light at the end of the tunnel and it will be awesome... then once you have enjoyed it and appreciated what you created move onto something new money is replenishable *spelling*, but not finishing something you put so much in will always leave a hole.

Sanchez Posted May 20, 2010 Author Posted May 20, 2010 lol at the banGlanza cl, i know what your saying mate, but i will loose a fair chunk of money, if all my new parts become used you see.I worked out how much i could get for parts and its alot of money, i could buy a ps13 with half and save the other half, i cant lodge forever, a house is going to be needed at some point in the next 5 years i think Quote
Glanza_cl Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 well you seem to have made a decition... i cant talk i pussied out and bought an mr2 rwd is mighty fun, fuel will be your biggest expenditure by far.good luck with whatever you do mate, i do know what you mean about the money and putting alot into these can be hard as the return isnt great. Quote
Sanchez Posted May 20, 2010 Author Posted May 20, 2010 Exactly mate, time to move on? fuel not a problem mate Quote
micky boy Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 dose the gearbox use the non lsd drive shafts sanchez? Quote
