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 )

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.

Cool

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.

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

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

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!!

It's possible someone would pay that much, BUT like Shane said, I'm not in it to try and make money off it. It started out as fun, and now it's become more of an obligation for my pleasure.

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.
