2011.....What to do?

Right, last week i was told i wont be officially finishing my apprenticeship untill Septemeber time when i complete my HNC-Electrical/Electronics.
I was supposed to be finishing this septemeber gone, but HR are have changed the goal posts and wont offer me a contract untill my HNC is completed. Theyve know i would be completing the 2nd year in 2011 for 4 years now and yet they only make that decision now?

anyway, all that aside......this means no S2000 as planned for the start of this year. i dont want to take out a loan without having secured a contract
With some good shows coming up, im gutted i dont have a car ready......if i save hard i might be able to get my Jdm 04-05 AP2 in GPW sooner, outright, without a loan. this means i cant just go buy another car. I will be selling the S14a when the new turbo is fitted, and the clutch is replaced. that leaves me with the daily beater - the ek.

with the 'mishap' in the snow, it need a new drivers side headlight, and the bumper/lip repairing and painting. i needed to do this in order to sell it.
but do i spend the extra money on doing the rear arch where it got abit out of shape when we rolled it? making it fully mint?

get the schmidts on, wind down the mesiter-r's, (some small spacers if need be), and camber adjusters to get the fitment/stance bang on! which i didnt make perfect for JAE

building on what it was

And a B swap...

I'd give the EK another year mate. it will keep you going until the s2000 comes along

if i'm saving i dont want to spend money on the EK, more than i have to.

Recyling it for another year. costing me nothing..........in all fairness it only did JAE.......Fark it

yeah, I'd just fix her up, not gonna cost much is it really

only slightly above and beyond what i was doing in order to sell it.

concentrate on getting the fittment bang on, maybe need camber adjusters and spacers.

I'll be buying another daily over the next couple of months when the s14a goes so the ek can go off the road for the work to begin

glad you decided to keep it, it needs to go to a few more shows, it looks badass with the schmidts on, just rock that sucker!!

its a hard question....youve got it to the point where if you go any further you have to go balls deep....appearance wise the car is a ten...untill you look inside....why noy do the interior...or strip it out to go cheaper and just put some seats in it...you could always recycle the seats

leave the engine etc...your heart aint in it

youll never be truly happy till you sideways in a honda

interior is something i'd like to do 2bf. tegiwa short shifter, Tegiwa White Ball Gearknob and 320mm Nardi and snap off boss will be going in.

Thinking of getting a rail for the Bride rep to throw that in







not sure what to put for the passenger seat.

although im not sure if the fixed bucket will go with the clean look of the car. might work?

stripping it out, not sure if that will look right imo

Rock the EK, get another bucket for the passenger an ditch the rest of the interior.

Besides it'll look sweet your stanced VSM hatch next to my stanced VSM coupe
