to be honest i seem to be outa pocket every month and gettin nowhere it seems with the s1.i could sell all my modded parts and return to a good spec and have about 7k to spend on an rs that has already got most things i want.so wheres all the big spec rs for sale...or do i just keep throwing money at the s1

 

We all go through this stage mate......
IMO always better to do everything yourself so you know it's right!
Why are you getting no where, things keep going wrong?

 

because ive already spent thousands on my rl7's.coilovers.brakes.management.jamsport inlet.still got sooooo much to get.i prob just will plod away with it bit by bit.its actually a mercury grey zvh with stage 2 cts box and loads of other goodys for just over 5 that has got me thinking

 

Keep at it Geez the satisfaction will be worth the wait i'm sure!

 

better the devil u no mate thats why i bit the bullet and spent 1500 on have my shell sorted

 

If you hadn't already splashed a load of wedge i'd say buy one already done.....but it has to be the right one cos you can still spend plenty puttin right someone else's mistakes!

 

definatly keep with it

will be a sweet car when your finished with it

 

cheers gus.havent got the same dedication as you.will i just put your name on these rl7's since you have more wheels than wheelbase

 

we get down mate, i have had to think long and hard about if i should kep mine or not

as i have been out of work for soooo long, i have god knows what sat there in parts

im doing what ever i can to keep it and although its taken time i cant wait to drive it


keep with it dude, and yes when your done with them i will have the rl7

 

I'm going to get flamed here but your ploughting thousands up on thousands into an out dated fwd chassis that when done will only cause you grief and cost even more to keep running. When i was building my series1 years ago i looked at how much i'd spent and how much more was needed to get it to how i wanted it and just gave up cause it just wasnt worth it

 

Been down that road

 

take a back seat for a while and do something else
come back to it when you get the motivation back
ive only spent the last 2 days on mine which is the first time for a few months,but then my holidays are getting in the way too!(another one just booked)

 

bit of nail on the head there as i keep thinking bout how much is still to spend and its scary.

 

Same here matey

 

I want to sell mine everytime I look in my bank account and see my available balance is £5 Think WHY am I paying to have a car stored with a few hundred quid of parts lying around and run about in an old van!

Yours will be a belter mate if you want to stick at it you will have an awesome car. Depends what you want from a car, fun/something special or fast/reliable.

You will always be able to buy a "beter" car. Why don't you rein (sp?) the spec back a bit and see how you like it before you spend the rest?

 

mate i spent nearly 10k on my old s2 an when my daughter was born i sold it for 3k, theres no logic to y we do it but we do coz were all slightly mad

 

to be honest spending money doesnt bother me when i have got it as its my hobby but we have had out overtime stopped at work and starting some shorter hours so its just how long itl take to get it on the road.might sell some management and return it to mfi to get her on the road and enjoy it.

 

Just break it mate its costin too much
Sell me your wheels n gotech

Seriously tho mate keep it and plod away its a belter
