ever feel like cars just need more and more and more??
, I buy summat and find summat else tht needs doin. arghhhh
will need tax n mot when engine goes in 2

Currently doin my 2litre so spent this month:
£370 coilovers
£600 mtech kit
£600 engine
£150 brakes
£30 chrome bits for engine bay
£50 radiator

Then to make matters even worse i was taking front wheels off last night and my brand new tyres are fucked on inside cos tracking was off 4 a bit, stupid mistake thts gonna cost 180!

and cos old engine and brakes are fooked gonna av to pay 4 lowloader to leeds (80miles)
Then the £800 to £900 bill for fitting all this
then theres the £600ish ive spent on interior on screens n headunit etc.
Spose its a hobby! lol

Just gets annoyin tho cos i spend all my money on it and its been in my garage since end of october. even when on road cant go everywhere in it because too low and dont want it gettin broke into etc.

Thats what you get when you over-mod, keep it subtle (aka standard) GSi kit and speedlines is enough

that what i was like, in the end i was spending so much money repairing it, buying new things it had to stop, so got rid and got a car whihc looks good standard. only bills i will be paying for is MOT and Service, and insurance can spend money on other things now.....well the mrs is taking good care of that
