Spend or sell?

[Rob R26r]

If you had 3K to spend on your Clio would you sell it and put the money together and buy something else or make your Clio better than it already is?

 

[kully]

buy a better car imo

 

[brownale01]

well it all depends on whatever you have already done to it, three grand is a lot so you have obviousli done alot

 

[Peperami]

Not far off getting throttle bodies with that much?

What you done so far? Imo gonna cost me 10k to get something a lot nicer/ quicker cross-country than my cup, so its staying for a wee while until my insurance comes down.

I personally think the clio is good out of the box. Sort the suspension etc job done. Anything else is a waste imo, especially major engine work.

Spend it on trackdays, Ferry costs to get to the Ring, accomodation, good food, and perhaps a nice camera to capture it all.
