I don't know what to do with car :(

I'd like to sell it whole so I have the cash to then go and buy a different one, would like at least £2,500 for it realistically. Or I could break as there are plenty of good parts on her;

what do we recon? I'm sure some people would want the 228bhp motor, zorst, M2B4, suspension, ATR intake, interior, ATR brakes and so on...

I don't know! This is the problem, I don't know what to do with it :cry:

Although I've put loads into it, I'm still not 100% happy with it. And unless I come across a couple of grand, which isn't going to happen any time in the next decade I don't think I'm going to be

only way your going to get any money back is to break it . sad but true.

Agreed. More likely to get your money back will be to break it. :(

If only you had the higher comp ratio you would have been in the elite club. :twisted: :lol:

Seriously, don't break it. What other car would you buy for that much that will be better then your prelude? :evil:

Why are you not happy with it?

What would you change or do different?

Well, the rear arches are getting pretty rusty now, that's easily a grand to get sorted if not more.

I want to do more with the motor, be it 11:1 compression or turbo. It'd cost me circa £1,200 to get high comp pistons in and the engine re-tuned.

Dino was going to sell one with clean arches & h22a8 motor for £1,000 so getting happy with my car seems almost pointless for that extra money
