So today i was told my long wait for my Grande Punto was near an end.
Its in the country and assigned to a transporter due into my dealership within 4-5 days.. I'll probably be driving it this time next week.

Now what do i do with my Corsa? Split? Sell? Xe track car?

I really am keen on getting into a few track days but it might take a while to get everything together on the corsa.... Storage isn't really a problem its more saving for the corsa and not spending on the Grande and finding time to fiddle and get it done..

how long did you guys with track cars take to get them ready?

If i were to split what would i be looking at bearing in mind i have bilstein b10's, a whitline rear arb, speedlines, semi smooth boot, corbeau bucket seats with matching trimmed rear, v6 brake conversion with braided hoses, wind deflectors, alloy stalks, black sport trim and depo's

Thanks
Andy

Xe track car.

In all fairness. You love that car, so why split it and sell it on. Having it on the drive / in a garage doesnt cost money.

Xe it, track it, enjoy it. Imo.

I'm still changing stuff on mine and have loads left that I would like to do, but can only do them when funds allow, so I try to keep the car in working order as much as possible.

Its 2 years now since I started track prepping mine.

Its also nice to feel the changes after they have been made, instead of just one big change; you see and feel the progression.

Do it you know you want too.

Hmm you make a point.. i think id honestly be gutted to see it go.. spent a hell of alot of money on it and put alot of time into it over the last 2 years..

Been through various stages aswell:

I just realised.. i do care about this car

XE and track, you now it makes sense.

If you've got the space then what's the problem.

Spend on it when you can and get it on track when you can.

You wanna spend on the Grande fair do's things can be put off, I know that more than most. When I'd originally planned to XE mine I was hoping it could be done in time for PVS this year

Now I can't see it being done by Trax next year tbh

It's a tidy car so if you ever did decide to get shot I couldn't see you having any problems selling it whenever that may be
