Basically I am in two minds about whether to keep the clio or not. I have recently had the old owner in touch wanting to buy it and a couple of PM's on here from people wanting to buy it after I mentioned the possibility of selling it. However, I'm not sure if I want to keep it or not.
If I keep it I will hopefully be making it absolutely mint and either putting it on throttle bodies or putting a turbo on it. However, that would take a lot of money (which I don't have much of as a student) so I would have to keep the car for a fair while as I did the work. By mint I mean making sure that everything even marginally wrong is put right and putting the car in for a respray, so not a half arsed attempt.
The other option would be to sell it and get a civic/crx 1.6 vtec which I would in time hope to put a B20 or B18 engine in.
The problem is that I don't want to start a project with the clio and then lose interest but at the same time I would absolutely love a mint hybrid running 200bhp+. Then again I always thought that I would be happy to stop at hybrid power so maybe I would then want to keep going again.
If truth be told at the moment I think I will keep the clio, but there is still an element of me that want a change as I've now had 3 of them and I really do like CRX's, but they are a lot more common that 16v's or williams around here.
I know thats a bit of a ramble and I know the majority of people will say I should keep the clio with this being a clio forum but what would you do?
