Default Escos-spend more or break?

Well then folks do i follow the trend or just spend some more.Bought my Escos in 96 for 16K and said i would not touch it.20K later i still feel i need to spend much more.I've only done 9500 miles in this time.Now by anyones standards that makes it one expensive car.I love this car dearly but would never get anywhere near that money back.Plenty tasty bits on it so is it spend more or follow Sean's route and break to get an Exige or summit.I reckon he's seen the light.

all depends what u want at the end of the day mate. ive not had my esc cos long but its all good.

if you ve decided 2 get rid them if you ve still got your origional bits then swap em all back over. still get good money for the car, and then sell your good parts sepretly (sp)

Sold most of the standard stuff on as i uprated.Still got the standard box though as it's got the 909 sport box in now.It's got 8 injector plenum,super 8 board in ecu,330Ap's,6 paddle clutch,r/b turbo,mint leather etc.No real reason to brake except i just want to keep spending and i may be better starting with summit else and then i might have something in my pockets for a change.

Just get it running as it is now and then make a decision Sounds like you have done most of the spending already!
