Ever feel like giving up?
Well so far this month ive spent £70 getting the car setup. Drives better but is it faster? i dont know cause the day i got it back my throttle cable snapped! Found out that my scorpion exhaust may be restricting the car big style, so i need to get a mongoose, another £300 down the drain. £60 getting new wheel bearings fitted £80 getting polybushes and having them fitted. Then finding out i need 2 inner steering joints cause their bushes are worn £80 + fitting. Also the passenger side front wheel sits an inch further back than the driver's side one and nobody is sure why, so now i've gotta start replacing suspension parts to see if i can fix that! At the minute the steering is not aligned, i vibrates like mad due to the steering joints and im broke already this month
So now i'm having thoughts of selling up i dont want to i love the car but its pissed me off alot

I know how you feel, my cars on its last chance, cuz ive had so many problems, so much money threw at it, and a recon engine only caused more shit, 2 accidents in 4 weeks, 2 new alloys, RR, misfiring, so much shit, so ive gone out to spend yet more money on an rs, and its going in this week, if its crap after that, its going up forsale!
