i have no idea where that point fits in

Either way you wont make any money, and you'll loose a lot.

if i built - finished building the corsa. and came to sell it i would lose about 4 grand

now
if i used the same amount of cash to build the corsa and put it into somthing already done, or doesnt need anything doing i wouldnt lose as much money if i came to sell it on

broster, my engine is carb'd so much cheaper to fuel just need a feew and a return and fixings are hose clamps, injection runs higher pressure so needsbetter stuff all round

but i thought you WERE building a corsa....

You seem to change your mind everyday

Are you building it or not? Or are you buying a track car (better option, but not as fun/stressfull)

thats what i mean, if i sold it all.
bought a mr2 turbo- mx5 1.8 - somthing that i dont have to play with to make it go round corners and is reasonably fast in a line, all id have to do is strap some harneses in and go kinda thing.

you'd still end up spending K's on suspension/brakes etc for that then....

Either option is expensive.

Buy a pre done track car (205gti or XR2 etc) off rallyusedparts. Great deals to be had

Very original AE86 (facelift) road car in gleaming Black !! 104,000 miles, FTSH to 90,000 and even the original radio cassette!! This car has undergone a sympathetic restoration and new parts fitted include, new front calipers,new alternator,new discs etc. The bodywork has also had a light restoration to bring it back to its former glory. The only mods from standard are lowering springs and a Janspeed exhaust,(it sounds lovely!!). The vehicle has done no more than 50 miles since its last MOT in July,the vehicle is currently declared SORN as we took it of the road to do the work mentioned above. Being a facelift it comes with the sideskirts, electric sunroof and 14in. wheels. A truly heartbreaking sale!!
