Hahaha, the 2nd Q made me laugh!
To start, I don't see the point in getting a tjet or mjet, Don't get me wrong id love one, but the ones that remain will be in high milage, I haven't seen any tjet or mjet with lower mileage than what I got my 1.2 at (27k) and with the problems I'm going through with the car now buying a higher milage car would just be false economy IMO.
As for spending money on it, it's like what chricol said, it's a hobby, of course I don't really have the place or tools or even technical knowhow to do most things myself, so naturally I spend a bit extra on labour, but It's not like i'm using money that I would otherwise need to eat or spend on necessities.
It's satisfying adding little things to the car, even if it's just a 1.2, I like it, I'm making do with what I've got and even so, I haven't even spent that much, the decat in question would be a daft 20 quid at the most, I could find that under my bed if I tried
I remember that member on here, jamie or something. He had a 1.2 and got it to something like 86odd bhp, I never saw one comment criticising him for spending money on it.
If there's one thing that annoys me a little it's people on here telling others not to touch their car and 'get something better to start off with' not that any harm was meant.
If I came to this forum as a veteran mechanic with a members motors thread showing some complicated engine upgrades squeezing what little bhp the 1.2 has to offer I'm sure I would be getting great feedback and such.
