I bought my Accent in 98, used (it's a 95). It had about 67,000km on it when I bought it, now it has 193,000km. I have to use it in the winter now to drive to school which is an hour away. I have spent alot of money trying, and I stress trying to make it faster. Extractors, exhaust, intake, port and polished head, Tib TB, lightened Flywheel, and I think that's it. In the last year, I have had to spend alot of money on it, new rad, 2 new collant pumps, 2 new thermostats, new transmission, new engine, new heater core, blah blah blah. When we put in the new engine, I didn't bother putting the P&P'd head on the new one, and am debating on whether to sell it or not. I still have the exhaust, headers, intake, TB and flywheel mods still on. It's lowered also with Apex springs and KYB shocks.
I'm looking for some advice, should I continue to fix the few little problems on the car and keep it as a daily driver, for when I buy my new ride, or should I just sell it, buy my new ride, and a beater for the harsh winters here in Canada. If I keep it, I'm thinking of pulling the new engine out (which has 55,000km), ripping apart the block and re-building it to support turbo. I'm just debating whether or not it's worth the money. My new project will be WAY faster and will be fairly expensive. It's just that I have spent so much money on it in the last year on repairs, that I'm not sure if it is worth it to sell. I just keep wondering, what's next????:??:
It will be nice not being a student again in 3 months, living measly paycheck to measly paycheck.

I had the coil pack go out last year when my sister was driving. Don't know what it felt like, but they said it kept stalling and really rough idle and couldn't go past like 50 km/h or something.

Since you've replaced almost everything else, that could be the problem.

The dealer doesn't seem to know what is going on, so maybe take it to a different mechanic or garage.
