Default keep or sell???

I have a 92 notch back right now, its got 270000 km (168000miles), the body is mint same with the interior, ive had people ask if i have had it restord. the engine tranny and diff have never bin pulled apart besides putting new gears and clutch, the cars got lots of bolt ons and nitrous. it runs perfect, doesent burn oil. the miles are mostly highway and the car gets it oil changed every 2 months. so the thing im wondering is should i keep the car and put more money into it like new wheels and tires, hood maybe a supercharger and stop running nitrous, or sell the car and find one that has low miles and already supercharged? would love to here any thoughts.thanks

How much do you want to sell it for, I'd be happy to take it off of your hands. Go rebuild the engine, it doesn't even have to be forged to run low boost. You can get a nice non-forged 306 rebuild kit for like $350.

but it could be the fact he doesnt abuse the car that bad like i do

everyone can tell you what they would do, just make sure you only do what you really want to do. im sure you have a strong connection to that car, and dont feel you have to get rid of it because of the miles. i would do a semi-restoration. ie- polyuratane bushing kit, shocks and struts, springs, ignition, and whatever else isnt in great shape. then, either get a crate engine or rebuild the engine that was in it. the whole thing can easily be done for less than $1500
