I'd keep the MY00 and work it instead of gettin the newer 1 and startin from scratch again. You could always sell off the mods when you wanna get rid of it or just move what you can over to your next car. Also give some second hand mods a look. you'll find ppl have alot of crap to sell thats barely used or never even used, saving a bundle for even further mods. Second hand isnt so bad either, not hard finding gear that are close to new simply because the previous owner has just decided to upgrade on some parts themselves. Hope that helped mate. Good luck on your decision whatever it may be. =)

I'd ask yourself what u are planning to do, if it a weekend car and u want power i'd stick with the gc8 for pure lightness :). 7k can go a long way if u spend it right. If its a daily driver and u just want to give it a squirt every now and then, then upgrade to better interior, u have to find out what u want :).

Yeah.. like ch4nz said...

Go to places like rexnet for heaps of cheap secondhand stuff. Or even ebay if you know what your doin, just beware rouge sellers.

I've always liked to 2dr sti, and said I would get one as my next car. But then I think it will probably cost $10-$15 grand more than my existing car and will be 1 year older. Imagine what $15 would turn my car into. Yes it's 6 years old but I think it is the best looking rex. The newer ones look more luxury than sporty. But that's just my 2cents worth...........

what he said...:)

keep the MY00. classic shape. possibly a collectors item at some stage

Keep the car, do minor mods (eg pick up good 2nd hand exhaust etc), don't spend too much and invest the balance ($4k+) in some shares and MAKE some money...you can do more mods as you go...

i still think new age..

If you're in the know... this is what can be achived with just simple mods..

TBE and silicone y pipe. (note no sports filter)

As I have said before Pete - you are one very clever Asian.
Makes ecutec seem pointless.
