engine & resale worth track upgrades?

Do you all think that my no more waranty 2000 C2 engine (and rest of car) will hold a decent value if I have installed significant track upgrades: Pss9 suspension; GT3 swaybars; welded plate, but bolted in fabricated roll bar/cage by Kelly Moss Motorsports; fire supression system; lighter wheels and Porelli P Zero Corsa tires; upgraded brake pads; 6 point harnesses; GT3 seats? Thanks for your advice.

Ironically I was in that same position that you are about a month ago. I had a similar setup on a BMW M3. However, be prepared. You are selling to an select crowd. Don't plan on getting all the money back from what you spent on the car. It simply won't happen. However, if you stick your guns there are some folks out there who will recognize the value of the goodies and might be willing to pay a little extra over the normal price of the car. This is the case with my M3. Best of luck. Stick through, I am sure there is a clubracer out there drooling. cheers, Chad

These modifications in general do not change help a car maintain its value and they may in fact hurt its value if a perspective buyer thinks that the car has been abused by using it on the track. On the other hand, the right buyer should be willing to pay more for a car that has the modifications that they are searching for. This is a much smaller group of buyers, unfortunately. It's best not to expect to recoup much of your expenditures. You'll probable do better selling them a la carte. You're actually better off enjoying your car and its modifications as you have intended.
