Default after all the work you've put in your turbo car, would you....

sell it just b/c?? i know i couldn' just guve up my car on a whim, i mean, considering what labor hours cost, i have easily saved as much money as i've spent on parts and other services. if you didn't have to sell it, you ddin't need the money, would you just give it up. if someone came up to you an offered you $XX,XXX for it, would you sell it?

if someone offered me alot or a good amount of money for my car, I would probably sell it. Other then that no i would not sell, but rather keep it as a race/project car.

I don't think i could, considering when i bought the car it was bone stock and i've built a beauty! '92 Integra ls/vtec turbo .....on the other hand it all depends how much was offered. The chances of you getting back what you put in is highly unlikely.

Never. Theres not another one like it.

Plus I'd just start tearing up my house or whatever I got to replace it. Keeping it contains the destruction to one area.

Nope not unless i wanted to buy something else or needed the cash. In most cases you build your car up then you get bored of it and find a new project, so possibly eventually. I could see myself doing that.

I sold mine. I got totally pissed at it and just said ,"F*** It", removed the turbo parts, and sold it. Bought my WRX like a week after I decided to get rid of the Teg.

dude... selling a hatch, is seriously the most depressing thing ever.
i dont care if you put 30 grand into the sucker... you're not getting anything close to what you put into it.
I've put almost $20k into my little hatchcrap... (the little things add up). If i sold it know. I'd be lucky to get 11k...
Even parting it out is like a kick in the teeth.

man i can't believe Jinx sold his little guy.... must've been a hard decision.

For the right amount of money I would let my car go in a heartbeat! I know I would hate the fact of selling it later on though

For more than it's worth I would sell it.

But this is my FIRST car so it's got a lot of sentimental value as stupid as that may sound.

At this point, my CRX is apart of me. If I sold it, it would be like I lost a limb...

Even if I didn't I don't think I would regret it.

Stock cars =
Stock cars that are built with performance in mind =
Stock civic =

If you're not in the catagory then you need a turbo
