Default Re: Where to start?

When I bought my car it already had koni racing shocks, miltek exhaust, 17" rims, 10 cd changer, amp and lots of nice little touches, nothing over the top.

The car was so well done there was nothing I wanted to add at first. The only thing I've upgraded was the breaks to some nice drilled n grooved discs with new pads. Which I must say are great.

Having had it a while and got used to the power I would like to do some performance changes, such as a new manifold, I've been thinking of a super charger but then it starts to get silly.

What could I get for the money it would cost to add a super charger (assuming I sold my car)? It could also do with a re-spray.

I'm really not sure what to do. Do I bite the bullet and do the mod's I want knowing I'm never going to get my money back, or, sell the car and use the money from it plus the money i've saved to buy a newer higher performance car?

For me it's more about the performance and fun of the drive than how it looks, although little touches such as non stock peddles, gear stick, or steering wheel add a personal touch to your car.
