Wow thats cheap gl man. Are u still gonna get a evo 8?

[Qik-1.8]

Hey dean nah mate not anytime soon. Wanna buy a house and settle down

[Dean_Vr4]

Oh so ur a family man now? Well good on ya Im looking at evo 8 mr's atm.

For 5g it isnt worth selling with all the work in it, If u got in finished u would sell it for alot more and alot faster.

[nigel_a]

just keep it and finish you dick! lol i didnt waste pull that motor out and put it back in for you to sell it! keep it and get a house !

[Dean_Vr4]

Yep trust me u will love it once u get it finished selling it doesnt give u any satisfaction. I was gonna sell mine once i got it on the road but now i love it so its my daily

[111GSR]

Selling it for $5k isnt going to make a huge difference in getting a house and somehow aid in settling down department.

Just think of those old farts who are in their 60s and have a project car sitting in their garages........ Getting my drift here ?

[Qik-1.8]

yea i understanding what you guys are saying, but i cant have a car sitting around that i dont want anymore i dont want to spend money on it. sounds pointless.i mean 5k isnt alot but it will still help, ive always wanted a evo 8 or 9 )( dream car) id rather have that as a project car

Reading this thread makes me wonder. Sometimes I think we think about cars way too much. Most people keep a decision to buy or sell simple but we complicate things.

All I can say is that while you have your car, enjoy it. I was in a similar boat to you when my 1.8 motor failed, I started with the 4g63 conversion and halfway through I was pouring so much moeny into the thing I was regretting it. After doing the work though I must admit it has been one of the best cars I've owned. I own both a modded CC GSR and an EVO VIII MR and there are elements of the GSR which I love so much more than the Evo. It feels so much lighter, more nimble and generally has more character if that makes any sense at all.

[nigel_a]

grant if you cant finish doing a gsr why bother getting an 8 or 9? you dont want to spend anymore money on your gsr but you want to spend 3x more on a newer model? doesnt make sense. just because you get a newer car it isnt going to make it any easier to modify. sell the gsr and dont buy and 8 or a 9, would be a waste of some good cars that someone else could enjoy. buy an excel instead, it'll help you save money for your house and holidays.
