FFS!! Can't believe the luck(or lack of) you are having.

Stay positive,all will work out in the end.

Hi All

I have a MY06 WRX and have been having some trouble with my car to the point I'd rather get shot and get a new car. I have eyed the GB270 with much admiration and have talked the good wife into parting with the reddies for said machine. However, I'm not so sure I can justify the extra costs.

It would be an extra £65 a month on top of what I pay now and I'd have to extend my loan from remaining 5.5 years to another 7 year one. I have a VF34 turbo, sports cat with 340BHP and 390 Torque. This has been removed from the car to try and get to the bottom of the running issues. I also have 18 Gold wheels all the exhuast goodies, braided hoses, droplinks Tein Springs and ALK.

The good wife has suggested taking a smaller loan, similair monthly repayment but back to 7 years and I'd get 4 grand to mod the car with. I want to put in forged pistons so that is liekly to take at least 25% of my budget and with the remaining 3K I'd uprate the brakes, STi topmount, remap and tyres. That should just about exhaust my 4k.

Problem is, I can't decide what to do. If I get the new car, well I get a brand new GB270 but I'd lose my brakes hoses, wheels, ALK, Teins, droplinks ECUTEK license, as well as the added £60+ per month, but my running issues would be solved!

What should I do!?

Only had mine a few months, but you asked so here goes

From reading i get the impression you are falling out of love with your current car.

Its all about the love of driving a scoob.Lets be honest,if the cost came first,who would still own one?

Get the new car and get THAT feeling back!!

Me likes it very much as it is

So what is a "spirited" drive then?

Where the mentally un-hinged drive like lunatics????

Use the M876 every day.Miles of it are in a bad state(remind me what i pay road tax for?).Glad to hear everyone is relatively ok.

Don't buy a Mondeo,buy a 'newage'!!
