just picked up a 91 se

Just picked up a 91 SE 5spd for 300 bucks black on gray, 17'' wheels black with chrome lip its lowered i dont know if the previous owner heated the springs, or if they are a/m <(aftermarket) 314,xxxx miles i believe that the engine has been replace before.i popped the hood and notice yellow writing on the valve cover and intake plenum.Has minor body damage,needs driverside fender and headlight.everything else is fine my wife already has dibs on the interior she just wants the front and rear seats i have dibs on the trans and the wing im gonna get it running take for a test drive.pull it into my buddies shop and look things over to make sure the parts are worth selling and in safe working order.Parts that can be rebuilt i'll have them rebuilt before i sale them. if i rebuilt the motor and trans those are being kept shipping will kill me unless its a locale pick up.After things are said and done you guy get first pickins i'll post pic a.s.a.p oh one more thing when did the SE go over to dohc and the gxe done sohc

you got that for 500?! dang, that looks amazing for $500! I'm surprised someone else didn't try to pick it up before you. I can barely find a decent 5spd in my area for less than 1500

Good find, sir!

I was saying i can't hardly find a good kept up 5spd from where i am.

Trust me, I don't post flame online. If i were to say something, I'd say it 1:1. I hate online "thugz". First time i built the anger was when AOL was still like 3.0, and little societies would materialize and go out to virtual-punk other people. I was like 12 at the time and I already thot that was the dumbest shiX to do stuff like that. Of all placed, people choose the net to do their dirty work. Not only are they cowards, but they're lazy... can't even get out of their chairs to go punk someone. I'm not condoning bullying people... just saying that if you're going to go out and bully someone don't be a wimp about it and do it online. oh... oops. I'll stop. I wonder how much 'd for this


edit...
and rereading the OP, he sed chrome-lipped wheels... i just saw the word chrome, and saw chrome in his pic and thot... well, ya know.
And it wasn't $500... he said $300... my bad (but had that DD been for $300... i'd be very envious)

I hope you're not referring to me being a coward punk trying to bully you online cuz I was just wondering if you misread or were being sarcastic since I've tried being sascasticbefore but no one detected it as its one of those things that are meant to be spoken and not written/typed. Was that a big run on sentence or what!?

someone swapped in VE gauges... If they put in the cluster w/o switching the odometers out, then there's no telling the actual mileage on that car.

Wow thats an awesome buy, I'm jealous! For that price, you can't go wrong! Course the yellow writing shows a couple of salvage yard parts, but that's nothing bad. Doesn't look like there's any rust either, and that's a big PLUS.

I know right... there's a couple of black 3rd gens at my local JY with decent body. If only he were closer he could probably get that car back up with very little money. No more than 100 bucks would have it looking good as unhit

3rd generation 89-94
1st series: 89-91 SE has SOHC VG30E and 125mph gauges and tach dashes at 5500 and redlines at 6000
2nd series: 91-94 Se has DOHC VE30DE and 145mph gauges tach doesn't dash anywhere, and redlines at 6600

those go up to 145mph... and on a 91... that means someone changed them

http://btp.mine.nu/Jared/NewCam/IMG_0001.jpg these are 1st series GXE gauges but other than color, are identical to 1st series SE gauges.

92-94 got the 145mph and the VE on the SE models.
91 was the production date, so some places may call it a 91, but for technical purposes it's a 92
