hey guys, as you know I'm planning on selling my spicy at the moment cause I'm too hungry for power with it....I'm at a juncture in the road where I can either finish it and put out the power I WANT to get, which would not be reliable to daily drive at that power level (reliability is a term that varies from person to person, and reliable for me is pretty strict), or to get a stock motor and throw it in there to sell the car....then put my motor into a full time track-only car at a later time when I have better funding
I won't drive the car around at stock power levels as a daily because I've spent too much money and too much time to get power out of this car (I've been told I'm quite stubborn lol) to just give up...so if I keep the car it's going to have the power I want out of it
ANYWAYS, that's besides the point of this thread....I'm asking an oppinion here about what I should do to sell the car
on the one hand I can put her back to stock and sell her for a higher price (likely), but the cost to put the car back to stock is going to be higher than if I were to to the other route
the other route is that I rebuild this motor and sell it with the built motor, built transmission, and full t3/t4 kit, standalone, the works....but I'd obviously not get top dollar for the car with all of that and not many people local to me would buy a car which is un-smogable in california
the trade-off in cost to fix and cost to sell isn't huge between the two, to put her back to stock will cost me between $1500-$2000 and to rebuild this motor to put out the power levels I want will cost me about $1000 (but I won't get top dollar for the car)
so I want your oppinion....would you finish the car and clean your hands of it? or would you put it back to stock to finish the project at a later date?
either way I go I am GOING to finish my project, I quit on too many projects but I've invested too much into this one to finish....when I sell the car if I finish the project I'll obviously detune it some to be reliable for the new owner, but personally I have too much of a thirst for horsepower when it is so easily attainable
