I went through that a few years back.... Bought a 350z and put the fiesta aside.... 2 years later I starting living the fiesta and now finished it and have some power in it.... Blows the 350 away!!

If you have space, put it aside for a while and see how it goes. You might just miss the tinkering...... I know I bloody did!
