sell it and don't look back, you know you'll second guess yourself and regret it, but honestly, it'd almost be cheaper to sell it and buy another wrx if you were gonna return it to a streetable state, and with the thoughts of a family, and the early state of technotic media, who knows if you'll even have to time to take it to the track which is the only place you can actually drive it

you enjoy the bike more anyways, keep the bike, sell the car

and, yeah, i would say 25k is fair considering the amount of work put into it, theres no way someone looking to make a wrx a track car could come close to where it sits now for that little cash

1320ride is an unknown quantity at this point

the problem with the tuning choice mike has gone with (hydra standalone) is that it does not simulate the obd2 readiness monitors thus rendering that system useless for a streetable car. he would need to find a way of piggybacking the oem cpu which is doable no doubt, just would be a major hit in the wallet with the ems and all... mike ive only seen the car once in person but she looked good, this white ghost and all...gl with whatever u do

you know what, I'm right there with you, mike. I"m sick of being put down by a car that never seems to want to cooperate with anything I do.

The Mr2 right now is sitting, bent and cracked, waiting for parts that I honestly don't know if I care enough to put on her. I'm pretty fed up with building a car just so it can become a punching bag. Between DMV issues, faulty parts, long waits, hard work and a drunk driver, I just don't care anymore. She'll get fixed whenever I find the motivation, if I get it at all.
Until that time, she can fucking rot.

Sell the wrx, get out of the downward spiral and enjoy another toy. Some cars were born with bad karma.

cars and girls are the same way, they are great at the start but then they start giving you problems and you have to keep puting work into them. Once they start goin down hil just throw them in the gutter and go find another

side note- i think 20-25k would be reasonable for the ghost

Sell the WRX, I didn't know you before you had the car but I'm sure the money will come into use in the near future. If all else fails you can buy me some mods for my R6

Or you could finish your basement into a fully functioning man cave.

You talked Eri into kids?! I'm shocked. She hates them more than I do.

You think cars are a bad investment, wait til that little money sucker pops out. That kid will fly through your wallet.

This car is turning you into some hippie Buddhist. Your car does not have bad karma. Fix it or sell it; no more philosophy. Or buy a BMW and be done with it.
