That's a right cnut! I'd try and get the car off them and keep the tasty bits.

Could be worth buying it back and selling to one of the guys on here tho like Jozefan / Cebul as they break cars and may give you a few more quid knowing the value of the mods...
Also if they are only offering you 900 quid, then they may give you the car back cheap, or give you cash plus the car ;) got to be worth thinking about.

As the others have said, buy it back and you'll easily recover that cost with the extras you could sell ;)

It may go to an online auction company where you could buy it for peanuts.
My brother-in-law works for a company like this ( http://www.copart.co.uk ) &
he's bought some real bargains.
I saw a really clean, low mileage Integra Type R sell here for £2k & only needed
£200 spent to repair some very slight front-end damage.

yeah i'm guessing it'll go to auction (it was actually taken to a copart place for assessment, in westbury).
i've got too much to do on the mx5 turbo still so just haven't got the time to break it :(

might be back in a type r soon tho - maybe an accord next! :)
