Wow.... It's been awhile since I've been in here (sold mine in 2008) and I realize the newest of the 3rd Gens is 20 years old now, but 4 threads including this one? This used to be a bustling place. Still miss my 92 SE 5 spd. Still one of my favorite cars.

 

Did you see the post on your other thread. I found your car.

 

Your other thread with link of your car.

It is sad... These cars are dropping like flies. Not even two years ago you could always see one on the road (white gxe's at least), plus junkyards were full of nice ones to pluck parts off of. I would almost bet there were more of them sold than 4th gens, but now they are on the endangered species list.

This last time around I wanted a VE 5 speed in black with black leather and h ad to go all the way to New York to pick up a tired black on gray cloth one with all kinds of issues. (I did manage to find some black leather seats for it) I plan on seeing it through and fixing it up to be the nicest one yet though.

 

Ya there harder to find. I need start stocking up on parts. Might start buying ever be trans can find.

 

I rarely see one on the road anymore. There are only maybe 5 left in my town of about 12k people and there used to be 15 or 20.

There is a guy that moved on my route with a 91 SE 5-speed and he drove it with a bad rear wheel bearing until it caught fire, then he kept driving until it burned up like he was being chased by the cops -- except he wasn't, I guess he is just retarded.

He had it towed back to his place, so I took some pics and it kind of broke my heart to see a 3rd gen (especially a 5-speed) go down like that. He actually got it fixed, but the rear quarter is all fugged up.

 

What a dumbass.

 

Mine is probably going next...just bored with it I guess.

 

damn that's like an episode of cops or something.

 

Don't do it. If you're like me you'll try to go to something else and end up back where you started, scouring the country for a decent third gen.

 

But he has a VG auto. Those are expendable.

 

good thing i did the 5spd swap

 

Thank you sir...

If she was m/t I wouldn't even consider selling her but a/t get's boring.

 

Good point. Just convert it. Auto cars are usually better cared for so you'll end up better off.

 

I see tons of 3rd gens around here. Mine is getting very tired and starting to smoke. Poor thing. And yeah, the automatics get really boring... I wish I had the time, money, and ability to find the parts to do a 5 speed swap.
