hmmm im getting the itch to sell up and get an s2000 or dc5 now that my wages allow for it! :( what do you lot think id be best off doing if i did? sell or break? ill list the current spec -

95' bb4 LSD with private plate
90k miles with recent cambelt

mugen front bumper
mugen skirts
azect spats
wings west aero spoiler
carbon fibre bonnet + pins
CTR seats
snap off steering wheel
fujitusbo manifold
decat
fujitsubo catback
oz super t's in 16" with good eagle f1's
apexi afc 2
tein basics
robs chip
will have a traction bar fitted when it finally arrives!
front + rear strut bars
recent respray without a spec of rust on it anywhere


and little things like, wired up properly so that theres vtec in first + no speed limiter, not that it matters to newcomers to ludes!

know theres a few quids worth in parts but it would break my heart to see it as a shell :( be honest....what would it be worth putting it up for sale for? £1500?? obviously i wouldnt be happy with that price but realistically what am i going to get for it?!

i mean next on the list was to get this traction bar fitted then go ahead with the turbo kit ive got sat under my bed but i just cant help but sometimes think that all the money ive spent so far (and it is alot :shock: ) could have been saved and i could have a monster sat outside now :lol: i dunno maybe im just needing to spend some money on it or something to make me fall back in love! :oops:



another few pics to remind you all what it looks like :lol:

I hate having times like that, I was like it a few weeks ago!

I found the best thing to do was take it for a really long drive, that cheered me right up. Or you could finish the project and have a right monster for a lot less wasted money...

In all seriousness, the first thing I'd suggest is to drive the other cars. The S in particular is not for everyone. I know I must sound like a broken record, but I really wanted to like it, but I just found it a bit...meh.
Never got around to driving a DC5, but I'm told they are about the nearest to a H22, cant 100% get on with the looks though, from the side it just looks a bit...fat?!
You have a very tidy lude, and I dare say you would end up missing it or maybe even regretting it.
The simple fact is you need a whole lot of car, maybe even money, to get something thats a rewarding as a lude to drive. A lot of cars these days are quick in a straight line, but they are just bloody boring!

Who will buy my other parts!





:lol:

Come on, suck it up and take her for a spin to feel the love again. You done a track day in it yet? That'll sway you.

It would be a shame to see all your hard work go to waste by breaking the car. It's got some tasty bits (I should know!), but it's a fairly complete car to get a top end price for it. I'd say more than £1500 personally.

Maybe it's winter blues? :?
