    just bought her a few days ago. this is either a keeper and/or a project and/or a resell. at the very least will be a daily driver and make my fx a weekend car.



    sr20de, 2.0L, 140hp, leather, bose, abs, power features, remote opener, etc...

    pros: low miles, everything works, smooth and sluggish, forces me to drive
    calmly

    cons: rear bumper damage, car seemed never cleaned in and out

    so far so good. did some cleaning. more like disinfecting. how the **** do food stains get on the ceiling? driver seat needs more cleaning. just got back from the body shop for an estimate. next, tune up and rear section repair.

    Congratulations with the new ownership. I bet that car will receive better care within your hands from this day forth.

    G20...

    Pros
    - fully independent rear suspension
    - SR20DE engine... unkillable, fun to modify
    - no speed limiter

    Cons
    - hard to find mods for
    - watch the gearbox if it's a manual

    ----

    Turbo?

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    this probably deserves its own thread.

    i just discovered the reason behind the rally car on the pic and the ae86 i kept seeing in the shop, the head mechanic and recent new owner gushi is tsukasa gushi (drifting and rally driver), father of pro drifting driver ken gushi. i just watched a drifting show by chance and saw them.



    i guess ill stop thinking that my shop is just a small one on the corner. gushi and i have talked quite a bit when i bring my cars for the last 10 years. he talks and acts just like all the mechanics and staff. maybe i should stop by and get gushi and son's autographs .

    back to topic, still on the hunt for another clean g20 and possibly and hyundai coupe.

    here's a little hunt update and a request for some input.

    test driven 2 hyundai tiburons:
    first - lots of wear and tear but good otherwise. idle fluctuates when driving and ac on and car is stopped. i decided to pass since we cant get any inspection done. we met at a hyundai dealership and was told would take up to 4 hours. the seller sold it later that day.
    second - i rushed to see this one after i was told "excellent in/out," and "needs nothing" as a response to my typical questions. major scrapes around the car, door handle missing, interior looks like a bomb exploded inside, and the car has been in an accident. the seller kinda unusual (wont drive the car, let me drove it to a mechanic by myself). after inspection and about $1200 estimate to fix the car that "needs nothing" i came back and offer very low to be rejected. it worked and i went home. he called back but i didnt answer. the words that came from him after i informed him about the "excellent" condition of the car sounds like a typical car salesman who dismisses everything wrong with the problem. the car was in his dads name, i figured he was trained to say specific things.

    lately, im eyeing at two cars and may decide very soon. i appreciate any thoughts/feedback on this:

    1. 1995 240sx se (s14) rare concord gray color 82K very low miles and in very good condition for $5K. the dealer specializes on 240sx's and aware that the car is hard to find. final price, taking to a mechanic not allowed since he had parts swapped or stolen before. i see his point.

    2. 2000 g20 (p11) bronze color 77K miles. feature wise same as my last one on the thread with some slight improvements. excellent condition in and out. $6900. if i make an offer on this, ill go for $6K.

    Personally, i'd get the S14 assuming it's in 'good condition' and everything works fine. But will you be able to low ball the seller a bit more? That's a good buy if the mileage is legit
