as said, take most of the uprated parts off and replace with standard. If possible? or has is it too far gone as a track car to turn it back to a road car?
you will see a much higer return.

just looked at the pics, too fat gone as a track car to turn it back to a road car.
i.e cage, fuel/brake lines/kit mods with zeus fasterners etc etc
Hmmm tough decision.

You'd be mad to sell it as it is now IMO.

Edit* just seen it. Cool car
Great spec apart 
from the wank wheels! What Quaife gearbox is in it?
Would make a GREAT track toy. Someone should but your arm off for that money!

Its built as a serious drift car, IIRC it has bigtime mods to increase steering angle and a decent diff too.
But like any serious drift car, the spec is about the same as a serious track car too, so can be used either way.
Bargain IMO.

then go back to it have fun and see how u feel

IF the mods read the last line it SAYS do you think its worth £8.5k, im bright enough to put it in the for sale section if id put,FOR SALE on it, the worst id put on the original addy was i think i'd let it go for £8.5k and do you think its worth that!!! That in my opinion is for general discussion
