Upgrades...keep old bits or flog on ?

Righto, yesterday I went to simpson and had a full supersprint system fitted along with intrax 1k2 and the legendary RTAB limiters.

(incidentally my RTAB were very old and very worn and fook me, that is the smallest upgrade I've ever done to a car which has made it felt so much better)

Anyhow, I have the old BMW cats and AC Schnitzer backbox from the exhaust plus all the original CSL suspension (no broken springs!).

My logic was that the intrax would fetch decent money at a later date, so to keep the original suspension, but see if I could flog the cats/backbox on ebay; the center section pipework was knadgered so I'd have to source new oem exhaust or (more likely) sell the car with the supersprint still on.

In a few weeks the seats are coming out (front and rear) for a set of buckets, harnesses and rear cage. I'm thinking I would be best off keeping the original seats to put back at a later date; I suspect a 2nd hand CSL with buckets and a cage would devalue it rather than add value.

Agree/disagree?
