Been having a few problems with this vehicle recently. Nothing major or that isn't fixable. I have a very strong urge to build this car, either that or I must sell it. Let me know what you guys think keeping in mind my situation.
I have my 2003 P5 with 107k miles now as you can see in this thread. I also have a 2004 Honda Accord EX (auto) with ~80k miles sitting in my driveway collecting rust. Uninsured and unregistered. I need to get rid of one of these cars.
Here is what I have been thinking... As both cars sit now, the honda is much more reliable, but also much less fun. The honda is also worth more (I have both cars on craigslist and have received only a few hits on the mazda and every day people ask about the honda). I could sell the mazda HOPEFULLY for ~$5000 as is. That way, I could spend roughly 1000 to get the honda up and running with a decent sound system. OR, and this one is what gives me goosebumps, I could sell the honda for ~$6000 or maybe even more. This leaves me with a few options. I could completely rebuild my mp5 into what i've always wanted (turbo fsde with a BUILT engine). OR, sell the honda, look for a cheap msp locally and transfer either the turbo onto my p5 or gut my p5 and build another msp. I had a msp previously but then things happened and now I have a p5. I would love to use the money from the honda (im thinking around $6000) and build up my engine or purchase one already built. I would want to turbo it though. Any thoughts haha hopefully I can decide soon and get parts all winter and build it next summer.
