I'm saving up for another car.
The saving will take about 2 years. It's a choice between 1 of 2 cars at the moment, however it could all change by then as it is of course 2 years.

However I've been wanting a zorst for my Fez for a while.
I have found the one I want, its fairly pricy at €660 (£530) including fitting but will be the finishing touch for my ZS.

What do i dooooooo?
Buy the exhaust or save the money for the new car?
Only one choice allowed

buy it then take it off and sell it when you go to sell the car

You can't sell the labour back though

Thats a big dent in your savings how long would that set you back....

if a garage takes a serious amount of time to fit an exhaust they may want to put the cup of tea down and do some serious work.... yes i know some exhausts can be a bastard to remove BUT! this is a garage which should have every tool avilable...

buy the exhaust and enjoy it, it may put you off buying one on your next car, i'm holding back on the ST as my old 1.4 sounded awsome but was certainly loud and could be annoying

Exhaust mate!

enjoy the car while you can, two years is along time, your a car enthusiast, love the thing your driving.

Anyway...£500, i'm sure if it came to it, you could knock the seller down 500 if you take cash

Put it towards a new car personally. What do you want from the exhaust? More noise, power or both?

I was also in this predicment. I want to save my money for things like a house and what not but I've decided to put a little money into the thing I love now and enjoy it. If you need to cut back somewhere else, at least you know you've had a great time doing so =]

im still nowhere near deciding but swaying towards saving it
that price is whether i pay cash or normal bank card so wont get any discount
im not chasing power as I know how difficult it is to get something out of the ZS engine (the new car is gonna be the power jump), but whatever i get from it is a nice addition, but its mainly for looks and some noise
and it is a lot of money just for that
