New car, long summer

[szw]

Just letting you guys know whats up.

After many attempts at purchasing a used car which failed for one reason or another (Nissan 200SX Se-R, 2 civic SIR, 3 del-sol, 1 93 Subaru Impreza L, 2nd Gen Talon ESI, and a couple other boring ones I dont' remember right now), I've decided to go new!

I've got a deposit for a sept-build 2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V (what a long name).

Anyways, the car should arrive october-early november, and I'm gonna cross my fingers that there are no complications!

good luck, they are nice cars, I've seen some around w/ the front grill off and it looks sweet

[max_boost]

That's a pretty good choice!

[Ferio_vti]

Anyone hear about the first batch of Spec-V that had problem with the paint? The smallest amount of chipping and the paint started to peel like crazy. Heard it was a batch defect witht the paint or something...

[szw]

Yeah I read that too. But to me, it just sounded like whining. The few pictures I saw were not that bad compared to our Subaru Outback, and a few other friends' cars.

And there were a few cases of blown engines...(just a minor problem..hehe).

I'm hoping I can avoid most of the troubles by getting the second production run. Hence..the long summer wait.

Goodluck man... don't you just LOVE ( ) car shopping... LOL

The paint chip problem is a very common problem within nissan cars now
their paint SUCKS @ss seriously
chips so damn easily
thats why i got the 3m clear bra

It is a major issue that many people are trying to resolve thru Nissan Canada/America but so far no go on it

[Ferio_vti]

Man, Nissan better get that problem fixed. I'd like to get a Spec-V too. Nice cars should be ruined over something like that.

You have to wait till november? OMG, why so long?

[szw]

Well there are no more 2002's left, all sold.

The 2003's don't start being made until august, but the august-build's are sold. So I'm in-line for a september build. What I do'nt get, is why they dont' start building them right away. Are they takign a vacation or something? Damn mexicans building my car...hehe jk

Apparantly, they are really in demand. I wouldn't know it though, I've only seen one or two on the streets ever.

hmm get ready to be beat by Celica's Gt's , not saying it's a bad, car, however you'd think 175 hp and 180 tq would be able to rip a Civic Sir, Celica Gt a new Ass hole, but it seems to be the aother way.. the Civic, and the GT can hold their own considering the Ser, had almost an extra litre of displacement, and an LSD.. and don't forget the crappy ass Red line.. 6K..

I wouldn't bet on getting beat by many celica GTs, if you actually learn how to drive the car well. Funny how everyone hears someone bragging and all of a sudden its gospel

[celica girl]

Nobody was bragging... we just think that the celica GT deserves a little credit... that's all I wanted out of it.

[Toms-Celica]

Celica's are fast

Amen!

I've heard of stock SE-r's getting into the 14.9-15.1 mark.

[silvercivicsir]

14.9- 15.1 in Calgary ? are you Joking me ?? I guess you didn't see the one at the track with Aem intake apex n1 exhaust. best time 16.3 [ don't think he was the worst driver in the world].. There also was some chick in another one that was running just a bit slower.


if that was the case 14.9-15.1 the SER would ripe a New ass hole for EVERY Stock import car [ civics, tegs, Rsx, Celica's, Wrx's EVERYTHING.. and we all know that Engine is totally over rated.


NO way in hell it will run a 14.9

[Redlyne_Celica]

Well one thing the SE-R's have in common with the Celicas is paint chips easy.

Any SE-R's want to take a run and I am sure Celica_Girl or myself will be happy to oblige. As the number of kills grow so will the respect for our cars.
