Thought I would say hello.....(now with pics)
Hi all!
I just bought a 97 SE-R and thought this looked like a good place to learn more, etc, etc. The 97 I just bought is my new daily driver and I don't plan on doing a WHOLE lot to it as my "fun" car is a 88 MR2 with 20V ST engine. (Yes, it hauls butt.)
Anyway, I'm a long time Nissan/Toyota fan. I had a Frontier that I could....not.....kill and owned a 98 200SX SE that I just recently sold to a friend in need. I lucked out and found this 97 SE-R for $2200 in REALLY nice shape with 94K miles. It's bright red and needs some new paint here n there but the interior is SPOTLESS and the stereo is awesome. (But I'm ripping the head unit out and putting the one from my MR2 in.)
The only thing that I've found wrong with the car is the clutch was slipping. I noticed that the disengage point of the pedal was at the VERY top of travel. When I got home, I popped the hood and sure enough, the adjuster is all the way in. I bet I can fix that.
Anyway, for $2200, I think it was a pretty good deal. The car was well cared for mechanically as I have receipts for oil changes, tires, and damn near everything else. I'll get pics up as soon as it quits raining outside. I'll be doing little mods here and there. (I just signed up for the beam bending coming to Ga as I'm a sucker for handling. Straight lines are for fast cars, curves are for fast drivers.)
I just wanted to stop and say "hello."
That's really the worst spot of the paint. The hood could use a re-spray and there's one VERY small hit on the passenger side that I'm sure you'll notice.
Still, not bad for $2200.
Front looks pretty good. (imo)
There's the dent/blemish. OH NOEZ!
Anyway, the car came with factory alarm and the guy put all new speakers in, amp, 15" sub, Pioneer h/u and you can eat off the interior. (I'm serious, it's BEAUTIFUL on the inside.)
That's the DD. THIS is the "Go Kart."
