Break or sell?

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...

Why you selling after you put so much in to this car?

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

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.

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

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
