    If i am going to get 200bhp+ with conversions etc then i may as well keep mine tbh.
    Ideally, id like a car that has 200 bhp as standard.

    I dont know wether to spend 2k on having mine done up, engine rebuild, oversized pistons etc. etc.

    Or,

    Sell up and put a few grand into buying a car that is already fast.

    I really love my car and everything has been replaced from standard so i suppose apart from the shell, and obv engine (for now) it is a 'new car'.

    But, when does the time come as to when you stop thrwing money at something?

    Arg, decisions decisions

    thats cars for you hun, you could chuck aload of money into it, but how long do you wanna keep it as, it wouldnt be worth you doin it if you didnt intend on keeping it for a long time as its no gunna stick the valve up or if dont wanna loose money on it...

    otherwise buy a new car have it for a few years and loose a little bit of money but i dont think it would bother you as you would of used the car for a few years...

    Something we all have to understand, you will NEVER be satisfied with your car, thats the point in upgrading!

    tbh cat, i don't think i'll ever stop throwing money at my car :-( it is the biggest money drainer in the world, but then i won't stop it as i love going to local cruises/shows and people just say "wow look at that car" - and you stand back and go
    "yeah i built that" and then i think all the effort and money was worth it but that IMO as thats what i am aming to do, be psx prince 2 (i'm a poet and didn't even know it ) but with a cab
