>What's your Monte Worth ?<
How deep are your pockets?
If you can find the right head-unit, Stattama is willing to one-off the kit again for people. I asked them when I got my head-unit, but they luckily had a car being parted out that had 75% of the pieces that I needed. The biggest part is the main drive-shaft and I think they said they can remake it for about $800. Granted you still need the right cogs and pulleys and brackets, but it's still doable.

I don't make a ton of money, my wife and I have a decent joint income and I am very budget conscience. I work hard on my goals and save save save.
I would skip the ZZP kit. If you are top-swapping, do the full top-swap so you aren't limited to ZZP's custom made belts and pulleys. Or look at their budget turbo. By the time you have that "supercharger" kit put together, it will be almost the same price as their Z3

I trust Kelley blue book for values. You have to figure, most of us think our cars are worth more than they really are since they're special to us.

,>"A vehicle is only worth what a buyer is willing 2 'pay" 
My 'ride is worth more 2 'me then any auto value book/site
I've checked. That's why I've kept it so long.
But, I might have it sold for over $2k over any
book value. I think it's because I have
all my records & it's top condition.
It still looks like new.
It takes time to find the right buyer
that knows cars & their condition &
they will pay way above book values
(That's my 1cent opinion)

Mine is Worth an Arm and a leg, a heart and Soul, Plenty of Bloody Knuckles, Sweat and Tears!
It was said hear that any car is only worth what the next buyer is willing to pay for it. I say Bull Pucky!
Your car is worth what you put into it. To you, it's current owner. That is the most important opinion of the value of your Monte. Because that is how much you value it. A car who's owner neglects it, isnt worth anything to that owner. A car who's owner takes pride in it has great value!
If you LOVE your Monte, don't concern yourself with the Resale Value, concern yourself with the Personal Value. Because for as long as you own it, Love it, and Take Care of it, it has Great value to you!
I Love my Monte!

If I change the ZIP code for the KBB lookup from California to say, Arkansas the value goes up.
West Coast penalty I guess since it's not a hybrid or has the word 'Honda' on the rear decklid.

All I know mine is insuranced with Barrett Jackson insurance and if something happen s stolen totaled I get a check for 45k
So that would be the only way I would get anything for the Monte because its in the family forever.
