alot of reasons..

im getting myself more and more in debt as its a expensive car to run and id rather not get in any more debt. i love the car but i wanna a car thats cheap to run and most importantly fun! Also im in the Navy and the car is too good to sit around for weeks and weeks with me being busy at work plus its not fair on my sponsors who have REALLY helped me.

Hopefully going to build a nice spec volvo that will be built for grip but capable of doing the odd drift day when i choose too.

Kinda thinking turbo lump, bolt in cage, bucket seats and some decent suspension and brake mods.

This sounds sensible and cheaply attainable.

Welcome to povertyworld dude.

Liams doing a turbo atm. Might be worth reading through this thread man.

Cheap to run would be a Metro MG or other blend, fun to drive, I think that beemers fit on that category?
