Your Celica, Do you count the cost ? Options

[3TST]

Just curious to know whether or not you count the cost of everything that goes into your ride or do you do it for the passion/pleasure/be different/achievement?

When you have an ST, like me, is worth it?

I LOVE my car (I've had it from new).
It's the first time I have ever customised a car and I don't count the cost... probably just as well as I would probably have a heart attack!

BTW: I'm by no means rich either I've been out of work for just over a year.

you know, ive been thinking about this topic for a few months now.

right now i am getting ready to drop a lot of money into my car. i have enough cash for a 3sgte swap into my gt, but before i jump into this, i am trying to figure out if this is the right thing to do or not. its not like the value of my car is going to go up because of the swap.
im also a little worried about owning a fwd turbo car. i know that as soon as you add hp to fwd, you loose a lot of traction. ive also talked to a few people who told me how bad the tq steer is and stuff like that.

so after thinking about it for a while i decided that my options are....

1. swap to a 3sgte, have traction issues, low 14sec car
2. buy a dsm for a 2nd car, have awd, can run 12s or less no problem
3 sell the celica and buy a nicer awd+turbo car, something like a 98gsx or wrx
4. do nothing and be happy with what i have now. (aka the smart thing to do, lol)
