Arrow What would you do...... keep it or not ?

I am so close to finishing the project but have not been able to get to it. Something always comes up. Like bought another motor cycle then started remodeling the house .......bought a new sedan.

What would you do? Keep it and finish it and turn it into the beast it is waiting to become or just sell it? If I do sell it how much should I sell it for?
or sell the SC separate and the car separate?

Appreciate the input guys.

I wouldn't have made so many purchases. I stick to whatever goal I put in front of me. What's your motivation? What's your goal?

You're not going to make much power with that set-up, certainly won't be a beast.

What are you planning for engine management ?

I would just part it out and sell it. With all your other purchases it doesn't sound like your heart is really into the project. Plus you must be ready for all the headaches that come with forced induction.

If i go through with finishing them was considering Uprev. The setup should put 400 plus whp. I guess it is not a beast for some but it will be for me.

Appreciate your input. Thanks.

Solid advice. Time = Money. Remodel the home. Home prices are on the rise and you'll have equity in the property. It's also an appreciating asset vs a car... depreciating asset.

After you remodel and if you still REALLY want a supercharged 350z, take out a home equity loan and splurge on a Vortech'd Z that's already done. Probably be much cheaper as time goes by as well as many people are unloading their finished projects.

Don't listen to this guy. He's also the same guy that came up with the "No NISMO parts" rule but proceeded to get a Nismo v2 front bumper on his Z back in the day. He's a hypocrite!

Lol this guy.. recommends taking out a home equity line to purchase a toy, even though he would never make such a move himself

Makes no sense anyway, the guy already has a blower mounted to his car and 98% of the parts.... so it's either sell it all and be done with the Z all together or keep it.

Selling the car to remodel, then taking out an equity line to purchase someone else's boosted car ( a no no anyway you should know that) makes zero sense.
