HAHAHA! YES knightrous!
i do regret it, but when i i drive the turbo
no more regret.
i just want to re do the whole suspension, then ill be pretty happy, then learn to dribe it as hard as possible with the current power before doing anything, may do the exhaust and intake maybe better turo but not much more then that at this stage, :)
should have suspension sorted pretty quickly hopefully :)

This has all started because your sold your NA and bought a Turbo :)
If you had kept the NA, you could have just kept throwing fuel into the tank/tires onto the rims and keep driving. But with a Turbo, you gotta have more power and upgrade this and spend money on that :D.

Well I kept rego on mine, and then got the NRMA classic car insurance for it, which ended up being next to nothing if you don't go for a super high replacement value.

How funny that I am going thru the exact same thing too for the same reasons. House, car, hmmmm. Though having a 20 year old turbo charged car as a daily whilst saving for a house especially when you want to do so many mods to it is very hard. I bought a Celica for a daily driver now as I'm thinking of selling the MR2, but I don't know if I can. Been thinking of doing what Dylmrt done and transferring the rego onto my Celica, as in my opinion if your not driving it every day you don't get so crazy about doing modifications and so as I have the last few months haha.

Went through the same problem a few years ago. Ended up keeping the 2 and then buying cheap bombs to get me around, and just work on the 2 when I had the money!

BTW, I've got these in stock and ready to send:

Gatesys SW20
but i guess its being old and starting to save. :(

lol, cars & houses will always cost you money. If i were you I'd keep it for now, because .... a 2 seater won't work when the kids come along.
If you sell it you'll get all " /> when one comes in to work for a service.
