Default Thinking of trading down! Am i being silly!

Hey guys!
Bought this around a month ago.

HKS SSQV blow off
Walbro fuel pump
Oil catch tank
3 port boost solenoid
Apexi ecu with commander mapped by Andy Forest
Detailed engine bay
Chassis:
18" Lightweight Compomotive Alloys new tyres
Full poly bush kit

And im thinking about selling her already. I think she is a really wild car and probably a bit wild for me so im considering selling her and getting a lower spec classic Scoob or a newer Sti pretty much standard.

How much you reckon i get for this car? It was basically a swap for a Civic Type R.

Am i being silly in getting rid of it?

I do around so little milage to work and back that it seems almost a waste having to use it as a daily drive for such a short distance.

Its not that i am bored with it. Or that anything is missing at all.

Its more that i really dont need that spec of car for driving to work and back. At the weekend for fun time i have a GSX-R.

So really it only get used for work.

Still want a scoob, but just a standard one possibly a bug eye or blob eye if this car is worth enough to trade.

Although i complained about the Type R which i had for a week, because it was bland, boring and not quick.

Had my Mr2 turbo with 280bhp for 4 years and no complaints. Maybe im a moany old muppet now. :0
