Hi guys,
Does anyone here track their cars?
I'm researching if it's better to
1. Get an SP and install just the safety gear on it and a new set of wheels+tyres or
2. Turbo my 2003 NB, considering that whatever money I invest on installing a turbo on my car I might never recoup when I decide to sell it.
Cheers

Everyone will have an opinion.
I'd suggest buy an SE and track that. Less bespoke bits on an SE compared to an SP. E.g., Front end tap and damaged the air box? Good luck..
It's less frowned upon to play with an SE rather than an SP and a cheaper entry point.
More opportunities have been lost from indecision, rather than wrong decision.

Bianchi-89 ... start a new thread with the question, rather than clutter this one. You'll receive plenty of opinions and advice ...

I do track mine, but I feel a little bad about it, there is another fellow who tracks a silver SP in NSW too.

I would say if you want a SP get an SP,

Hey all,

As we seem to be an endangered species I've started a group for us all to share our ownership experiences and discuss all things SP.

Please join and show off your SP! 8) :beer: :beer:

Hi,
Does anyone know how much the white SP in QLD sold for recently? Last advertised asking price was $33,900.

Not sure how much 'Snow White' sold for, if indeed it sold - saw it on Gumtree for the same price you indicate for Carsales.com, but the advertiser's Gumtree items for sale page no longer shows it, nor does it list it as recently sold: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-seller/Pet ... 002/date/1
