Returning to standard

[oneeighttwo]

I've got the following mods.
SMT6 Manifold match, panel filter, Cams, Prospeed exhaust, all done by GDI.

I'm considering returning it to standard. I know I can swap the panel filter, but would it be a lot of work removing the chip and changing the cams? does the standard ECU need setting up and mapping? is it worth the expense of returning it to standard or just sell the car as it is?

I'm looking at a r26 Megane at the mo and cant decide whether to sell the car standard or modded.

What would you do?
Cheers guys.

Paul.

Try and sell it modded first. If you dont get nay interest then it means people are put off by it. then go thru the trouble of changing it back to normal.

Agree with lusty..try to sell it as it is.....changing cams back would be a bit of a pain.

I'd offer it for sale as standard and then people can buy the mods if they want them

Mods should make more money separately than in with the car I reckon!

That what I thought, return it to standard and sell the mods off seperatly. I need to speak to GDI and get an idea of cost. I did'nt think of selling it as standard and offering it with mods at an extra cost.

id try and sell it as is now, and put the price up so it covers what you would want fro the individual parts also. Its worth a try and if you advertise it well then you could end up with as much money as you could get by selling parts seperately without all the hasstle of changing it back to stadrd

What happened to ''I'm keeping my car for a very long time so i'm happy to spend a bit of money on it''

I suspect it's the reduced driveability/reliability and increased juice consumption. I hope I'm wrong.

I'm not being disparaging as I'm considering similar mods myself and would appreciate your advice on the matter.

Ok I typed out a long reply and lost it so cant be arsed to type it out again so i'll answer quickly!! LOL

Just nosing around at mo, found out I'm entitled to friends and fam discount, + girlfriend talking about a family so why not see if I can get a bigger car cheaper?

Driveablity the same if not better ( i did go into detail here but I'm not typing it all out again!! LOL)

Only mod it if you've already got property, cash is spare, planning to keep it and fully understand that you wont see much of the cash back. Plus its big money for little gains on the N/A. If your happy with that then go for it!!

Sorry forgot to add MPG slightly worse but I don't tend to do loads of driving so I can handle the extra cost. At mo reading 23 MPG. Thats town driving only for about 6 weeks. I only use Vpower petrol. But i've only ever used Vpower/Optimax (or equivilent) since I got the car.
