Your thoughts guys please!

Bought an FC a while back which I wanted to use to drift but its developed an engineproblem and I dont know what it is an since ive just started teaching and im snowed under with paperwork and i cant be bothered to sort it...and im running out of space fast...and tbh i want out of rotaries in this economic climate...DC2 Integra Type R FTW!!!
the car stands me at 2750 and I cant honestly see me getting my money back for an FC TII which has an engine problem!! Having said that, if someone were to offer me 2750 for it, I would take it, but you have to bear in mind is an FC with an engine problem that might or might not need a rebuild. So im tempted to break it as it has a lot of nice go faster shiney bits... which are... (ive put prices in brackets as id like some feedback as to whether they are appropriate for an FC owner to pay...i dont know what FC parts are worth....FDs yes! FCs no!!!!)

Apexi ECU and Commander (someone on here as asked me about this already) (460)
HKS Single Turbo Conversion (600)
D-Max Carbon Fibre Bonnet (200)
Aftermarket Front Bumper (70)
Aftermarket Sideskirts (70)
Aftermarket Spats (40)
17in Deep Dish SSR Wheels (400)
Coilover Suspension (200)
Drivers Bucket Seat (100)
Bolt in 6 point Roll cage (150)
Frount Mounted Intercooler (150)
Uprated Aluminium Radiator (130)
Uprated OS Giken Clutch (80)
Exhaust System Stainless (100)
Aftermarket Wing Mirrors (50)

THose parts add up to my money back atleast...as those prices reasonable in your opinions?

I think it would be easier to get my money back from breaking it rather than selling...i dont particularly want to make any more than i paid sooo....what im asking you guys is:

Would it be easier to get my money back breaking it? or would it be easier to hold out to sell the car as is to some drifter? (i realise i advised Brian Ellis not to break his FC a while back although im not looking to make back quite as much as him and from my calculations, i wouldnt have to charge as much for bits either)...

Id like to stress i havent decided yet..although id love to hear some feedback as to whether its easier to break or sell? Has any one sold an FC of late?

Dont think many people are looking to buy cars at christmas time, notoriously the winter and christmas is the worst time to sell a car. But try it anyway.
 
If you do break i\'d be interested in the coilovers, the SSR alloys and the wing mirrors. Let me know what brands and models?
 
Cheers.

As said via email deffo interested in the Apexi PFC. Breaking a car is a hard decision to make, but like you have said it seems the easiest way to get your money back. I\'d be interested in the FM intercooler/piping also if we could cut a deal.

[m1tch]

If you do break it I might be interested in the exhaust

[grinder]

i might be interested in the front bumper - any chance of a pic

and the exhaust depending on what it is and if its a full system

and to be brutally honest - i cant see you getting that ££££ for the car if it has probs ( unless of course its in MINT condition ) - sorry

and your prices - for a FC owner they look OK and you should shift most of it no probs !

and youve not taken into consideration they few hundred you MIGHT make from selling all the small bits like discs ( are they stock ?? ) , bits of trim etc..

might be worth you putting a price up for the rear speaker covers and parcel shelf if you have them - people are sometimes looking for them

A picture tells a thousand words :yes

[ro284]

Not sure i could bear to actually break my car if i was in that position, i think you would get the money back though, then again the downside is, would you have enough of that other precious commodity Time? for the hassle!
Good luck

[pdtaylor18]

well i might be interested in the engine and also 2nd dibs on intercooler and piping.  I also think your carbon bonnet is got to be worth £300 unless its a bit ropey also if the stainless exhaust is from turbo back then its worth double.
Also the Apexi is worth £600 of anyones money, they are not available for the FC anymore and cost £600 to buy from Japan without shipping.

[L18M]

2nd dibs on the apexi ecu pending what adereed decides :Santa:Santa
maybe front bumper n skirts n spats... woteva they are lol
maybe bucket seat if its red.

shame to break it but then.. if you do break it then crimbo might come early for me if adereed doesnt take ur apexi ecu :Santa:Santa:Santa:Santa:Santa

[TiddlesRX7]

I can\'t afford it at £600 so If Jit is wanting top doller then its yours my good man.

lets jus wait n see what he asks for :cool if he does break..

.....you\'re teaching?

ROFL........

Also the Apexi is worth £600 of anyones money, they are not available for the FC anymore and cost £600 to buy from Japan without shipping.

Pete with the greatest respect mate they don\'t, They are usually the equivalent of £250-350 in Japan second hand. The only time you see them for £600-700 is on stupid ebay.

Jit what\'s the model number on the ECU? Should be PFC FC3S A0XXX. Also is it a UK car?

[Speedworks]

what kind of HKS single turbo is on that?
