After contemplating this over and over for the last couple of months I have decided to get rid of my car.

 

After over 2years owning this car I have rarely enjoyed it to its full, I have found all my time spent on it and not enough driving it, to many late nights worrying about it too. I’m going to give modding cars a break for a while as I want to start enjoying my self and living life to its full.

I have worked out my car is costing me around £600 a month to run, insurance, debt, fuel, ect.

In my eyes and i'm sure some of yours, no car is worth this much hassle if i’m not enjoying it.

 

It’s been really good to be part of a friendly club with outgoing and helpful people; I have made a lot of friends through out my time with the club.

 

As in a previous thread these cars are worth bugger all to sell as a whole, it has always been my intention that when I’m done with it I will break. So as of the end of next month this will be my intention. I don’t want any pm’s requesting parts as of yet or posts in this thread. I thought I would put this post up to inform people before they go and buy the stuff new, as this always happened to me.

 

I will be pricing up all the parts on the car and a post will go up some time soon.

 

 

 

All the best ;)

I also had a "toy" break early this year, lasted 6 months then couldnt take it anymore and went out and bought the skyline :)

 

Good luck in what ever you do matey

 

Mike

is it getting broken or in 1 peice?

 

AHEM! Read JD's first post again........ :slap:

 

I don’t want any pm’s requesting parts as of yet or posts in this thread.

 

JD, really sorry to hear this mate. Funny you put this up as last night I was talking to Spinksy about the very same thing. The amount of hassle I have had versus the amount of time spent enjoying it just doesnt way up. Because of how expensive everything to do with the car is, it takes me a while to save the money up to buy the next phase of the project. The question is, is there EVER, EVER an end to it? :confused: I put off paying other bills to buy parts for this car :x: (STOOPID I know!) and its the reason I am in debt at all!!! :rant: And I still dont own a house, I'm 28 now!!!! :(

 

So, all in all mate, I can completely empathise with your decision, its a very difficult and brave one to make that I just cant find the 'Gonads' to make:bow:.....even though everyone else tells me its the right one..... :rant:

 

Good luck with everything and thanks for the advance warning about the parts.....all the best with whatever you decide to do...... ;)

Yer I have found nothing is less than £100 quid for this car, I guess being a V6 doesnt help as you have to have two of everything.

 

I have a friend who had a high spec 200sx we would tweak our cars till one would beat the other that was the main reason I went for the spec I did, But his car blew its box so he gave up with it. I have lost my bench mark now and half the passion for building the car.

Was looking into a TVR tuscan, but every one say they are very unreliable so Im not going there any more as I may aswell keep the 300 :x: Think im going to get a nice BMW for a while

sorry to hear this m8

im sure there are a few other people on here thinking the same thing

what with fuel prices and cost of parts.

im begining to regret the deal ive just done on my zed

but i suppose you only live once , so what the hell ?

I have a similiar competitive streak in me, where I have to be faster than all my friends. It stems back years but as I'm getting older, I'm starting to realise that I aint getting any younger and I want to start to think about owning my own house. I have been over the thought of breaking mine again today but I just dont know.......it would knock -x- amount of 000's off the debt but I'd still be left with 000's to pay off with fVck all to show for it!!! :headvswal And left driving a £300 primera diesel day in, day out.....hmmmmm.... :x:

 

Who knows......good choice in the beemer though mate, very reliable powerful car....maybe its just me, but I feel that turbocharged cars will always be a PITA!! :(
