Default Mod or sell?

I currently have a 96 EX Coupe. I'm in the early stages of modding I havent gone crazy yet. Ractive front and rear strut bars, Neuspeed Sport Springs, S2000 seats, Full Audio setup, Complete Comptech intake system, Spoon N1 exhaust, and some aftermarket wheels and good tires. What I want to do is a B18c type R swap, Rota Grids and new tires, a good shock setup, Mugen front lip , blackhousing headlights, badgeless grill, and finsih off the interior with a new headliner, pillars, arm rest stuff, and leather rear seats. I am currently looking at getting a good alarm system also so I am assuming my total is somewhere around the $8k mark Later down the road I hoped for a little boost going with a turbo setup on it to make like 300whp so thats a few thousand. Am I outof my mind or what? Mod the damn thing or buy something else and carry on from there? I know I will make some money back on parts I sell such as the D16Y8 and wheels currently on it... The obsession started and i'm starting to wonder if i've lost my mind. What would you do?

I say keep going, just don't expect to get all that back out of when when you get rid of it. I've put 10-12K into my car over the last 7 years (not to mention what I paid for the car itself when I bought it) and I'm selling it in the spring and will be lucky to get 5K. People say why would you do that, but I did it for me and it made me happy. I accomplished a lot of what I wanted to do with the car and aquired a lot of the parts I wanted to get along the way. As long as you won't regret spending the money, go for it.
