Anyone/Everyones opinion will be greatly received!
I currently own an 80sx, only had it since September. The thing is I am restricted to a 1.2 due to the fact of my convictions
But having checked up only yesterday, I no longer have to declare my convictions once next summer is here (2005) No matter how much I love my 1.2, I'm yearning for a little more power.
Which leads me to my predicament which hopefully the net opinion can help me make my mind up.
Do I...
1> Bite my lip, keep my 80sx, and smarten it up As if i did this on a larger engined car i prob couldn't afford the insurance.
or
2> Buy a HGT, this summer and spend the next year renovating it; having the engine stripped and rebuilt etc, knowing that next summer it will be A1 when I come to insure it. For piece of mind. And over the year kit it up subtly?
The main factors to consider is I will be looking for a job in the next few months, have already been approached to work but unfortunatley they wanted to employ me straight away and not after my HND! The starting wage what i will be looking at is from 16k-18k.
The other thing is that I have only just had my car Angetuned, SS filter fitted, had momo gearlever /handbrake gaitor kit fitted/ race pedals.
I am considerably leaning towards the side of getting a HGT, but need other opinions to take the 'blinkers' from my eyes.
Also if you recommend getting a HGT how much would I be looking at to get the engine recon? As understandably these cars have more than likely been booted and i don't fancy bein stumped with the bill for a new engine unexpectedly,
Please offer me some advice, this is just a thought at the min but with full time job prospects coming soon, and i have nothing else to burn my wages on at the min.
