Okay so this is how the story goes....

A while back I modified my Corolla SX. Rebuilt the motor, modified it for a turbo conversion, microtech ecu, the works (list of mods below). Drove the car around for 4 years without a problem mechanically or from the cops, until one day I got pulled over for no reason. Copper knew what he was on about and sent me to get some EPA tests done and get the car engineered. I knew I couldn't get the car engineered in Victoria (I did extensive enquiries), so I decided to unregister the car. Since then it has been sitting at my parent's place....that was 4 years ago! It's still sitting there, because I don't have the heart to get rid of it, but enough is enough. I want to hear some opinions on what I should do with it. Put back to stock? Sell as a track car? I'm looking for a solution that hopefully doesn't cost me a lot of $$$

U go on a cruise say 2009? Was through nasho park down Wollongong then through jambaroo mountain then the pie place? Swear I went on a cruise when I first bought my rolla with this car..

I think you should try and sell it unregistered for something but don't budge because let the buyer know your not desperate it's been years and fully owned it can stay longer lol

Or keep it as a track for yourself

Nah sorry man that wasn't me.

I could sell it unregistered, but I don't think I'll get what I'm after for it. I've been out of the loop for a bit on these cars...how much would one like this go for? Track car for me is out of the question as I don't have the time or money to take it to the track and then keep replacing tyres and brakes.
