IMHO dump the parts for whatever you can get and forget about the mods.. you knew whatever $ you put into the car was never coming back at resale /claim time right?

get another car.. one that is so different and so clearly superior to your old on that you won't be tempted to make comparisons

i recommend a '03+ boxster S, V8 S4, or E46 m3 (if you are willing to roll the dice with maintenance).. a STi would work too if you don't mind sacrificing branding for speed
