That's right i'm losing interest.....
Never fear tho, it's not from my car (that will never happen). Infact i should say that my interests are shifting from one aspect to another. I'm talking about the stereo side of things. I've always been known to go excessive in this area, but lately (well actually ever since i took a ride in Ante's new car), i've kinda lost interest in this area and have been thinking more about performance. So much $$$ have been invested in this area that it got me thinking "imagine what i could've done to the engine with that money". This is were the question lies, what does everybody think I should do. A few things i must think about tho. 1. I will not get back what i paid for my stereo, infact prolly no-were near 2. Certain things such as sound deadening were done for the stereo and will now be rather pointless (sound deadening set me back about $800 alone) 3. Bigger power means weaker links, such as driveline, bottom end etc, which will prolly prove to be a money pit later later on. 4. I do this all the time, i get a bit carried away with my imagination and i usually need someone else to bring me back to reality. 5. Whatever i get for the stereo and any other bits that i sell, that's all i can spend on the car. Spending any "extra" money is really not an option. These are my thoughts. I believe i should be able to get roughly $3500 for the stereo gear i'm willing to sell. I would also be selling the supercharger in exchange for a better one, so that should also see about $2000 back. That gives me roughly over $5000 that can go towards performance, which should be enough to get a decent supercharger, but not much else. None of this will be done anytime in the near future tho, i will be keeping the current system for atleast 6 months after the cars on the road. I will definately be installing the stereo at first just to see if my interest comes back, but not sure if it'll be enough to persuade me... What does everyone think i should do??
