I am fairly certain I know the answer here, but i'll be getting the dub community's collective thoughts anyway.

We've probably all been in this scenario. My Bora 4Mo was bought at a damn cheap price, has logged 160K kms now, paint work isn't the best and could do with more TLC than i've given it so far, but mechanically she is pretty good - or was, until my clutch slave cylinder gave up.

As most would know, the slave cylinder is right up against the throw-out bearing and lives inside the damn gearbox, so to replace a relatively cheap part we're talking a fairly big labour bill to drop the gbox and replace. So most folks do the sensible thing and replace clutch and often the Dual Mass Fly Wheel at this stage too.

As my future plans for the car (if she is kept) include fitting a stage 2 Vortech Supercharger then my clutch and flywheel replacement would cater for that mod, and really the price diff is bugger all between oem and stage 2/3 clutches. Jury is still out on SMFW or DMFW.

So, the question (helped by a poll) is do i keep the bora and repair her, or sell her unrepaired, or repair and sell and cut the losses?
