Default What to do: make it an NA beast or sell car in 6 months.

I basically done a lot to the engine except compression. At first I was thinking about some nice 12:1 pistons. However, adding compression to a motor isn't cheap. VERY expensive. So, now I'm thinking if it's worth my money.

I drive a 1996 Black GSR. It's in GREAT condition. Wax it every couple of months. Great condition. BUT, it's aging.

I may be able to get rid of it buy probably get something a little higher up on the performance scale. Maybe WRX, used S4, or the EVO (if it EVER comes over). Those are my dream cars ...

However, if I do decide to keep the teg for 3-4 more years ... I will make it an NA beast. 2.0 liter conversion. Looking for 215-220 WHP. The car WILL BE FAST. Much faster than the above cars listed.

Keep the '96 TEG for 4 more years or stop spending money and dump it in a year or so for something better (new project?)?

One more thing ... I just don't want to regret dumping the TEG. I would love to tell my kids I had an NA beast TEG. haha

Keep your '96 for a few years... nothing better than not paying the montly payments. Then, when you have a hefty down-payment saved up, pick up your dream car.

Do you know how fast an EVO is? And how well it responds to modifications?

Mitsubishi has also announced that it is definitely arriving in January 2003.
