Reid brings up some valid points. I would do just what he suggested. If you do sell it, do it as is. It would suck to have 10K that close and watch it go up in flames on the dyno. (not to bring that up ;))

Well, it won't pop ;) but I don't know if it made high 6 or maybe 7 if I'd change my mind....

Sell it. Build another. I know mine wasnt as quick as yours is, but I got offered a price that I thought was good, so I took it. Tough to let it go, but there will be others. Who knows, maybe you will find another car you would rather have for a good price a week after you sell it. Stranger things have happened.

Get out while you can before you lose your ass on it. If it were mine i wouldn't do the fuel mods or redyno it just for the sake that something did go wrong then your stuck w/ it. If you do go that route i'd get a down payment from the guy to @ least cover the cost of the fuel system and what not. Modded DSM's are becoming harder and harded to sell and worth less and less as times goes on. I had a hell of a time finally getting rid of mine.

Aaaaack! The memories! :(

Sell the car that cost $12,000 and many hours to build for $9500. Then do that over and over until you are rich!

Take the money and run... Sell it..

He musta been tutored by AJ ;)

dont sell that car you idiot you'll miss it!

Well.... he called me 4 times in two days. I did it.








































































I told him I couldn't sell it :( I don't know if I just made the biggest mistake in my life or what...

Yup ya did ;) Aslong as you are happy with your choice that is all that matters. You did pour a lot of time and money in to that car, and if you are having fun with it there is no reason to sell it. In the end, it is just money....happiness is better than money any day of the week.

Fix the car up, make 700whp, go run some low 10s and then sell it for $15,000. Then you could afford an SC with dish or a $500 beater and be able to live in Cali for a good 2 months.

Good Choice Nutty!

Good choise, only sell it if you really want to or if the person offers more that you put into it $$ wise.

Now go make it fast cher!

Time to break the 700 whp mark.

Good choice Cher :D

Bah now he will just end up parting it out. I think everyone on this board that has a dsm has put ALOT of time into there car... Just becuase of that doesnt mean you shouldnt sell it if the right price comes along.

Even if he makes 700 there is no way he could sell it for 15,000, unless you gold plate it!

Have fun with it but dont kick yourself later or bitch about it after this!! ;)

I don't think the purpose of building these cars is to sell them for a lot of money. If throwing away ten grand or more on a car seems like a lot to you then you have the wrong hobby.

This is all very relative. For many of us, $10k is a significant amount of our funds. Cars can be your hobby without putting that much into a car... not all of us want 700+hp. I'm sure that's why many of us got DSMs... cheap speed.

Good luck with the car Cher, I hope you accomplish what you're shooting for with it. :cool:
