Been Doing alot of thinking over the last few weeks and I might be putting it up for sale...

Id say in the area of £5k ish would be reasonable from the amount i have spent on it...

PUt part of me is thinking to Split it and make more i aint sure?

Dunno Just the mood im in..!!!

Feel prober pissed off that the oil restrictor cr turbos made was utter dog shite and i had to strip the manifold off ect to get to it...

I spent ''ALL'' day friday cleaning and polishing to start it up saturday morning for my RR at awesomegti to find it still leaking oil from the restrictor...

So i took the restrictor off and there was no thread on it...

I know its a little stupid in expensive set back i know..But its the inconvince of the day when i wanted to have it RR'd...

Plus wen i pulled up and i got a small amount of smoke through my exhaust so i thought ''O shite'' then i done some searching and ive got a massive Kink in my Silicone hose coming the rocker to the catch tank...

So the oil residue had no were to go epsept back in to the engine...But thats now sorted..!!!

If you keep it you keep it, if you sell it you sell it
You'll just have to think properly and see if its what you want, or if your just gunna get bored

Its a good car, but like you said the other day you cant be bothered chucking anymore money at it, just have a good think mate, and maybe go test driving some new cars just for a bit of fun :p :D

hahahahahaha, you want to sell yours. Mine has near been off the road now for a month mate, imagine how I feel with ALL the issues I have been through, and the same boat as you, with the AMD RR....I had been leading up to months of work and correcting of pipes and bits and pieces in the engine bay, only for the manifold to crack at the 11th hour:(

now put your toys back in.....christ I have been through this situation more times than I care to remember

running cars like ours will always be touch and go, but thats the choice we make. mess with the car....now fix it (like everyone on here)

so, deep breath, and get on with it mate:)
