i thought i would NEVER buy a coupe but this deal came to me locally and i just couldnt pass it up. i gotta say now that i own one, its grown on me. i still love my hatches, but i cant pick on these coupes anymore.

1992 SE modelcolor edit: green?power everything, including moonroof99% stock (has amp wiring)came with sony 1000 watt amp, and mtx sub (already sold the amp for 100 bux and im putting the sub for sale locally)5 speed170kbrown interior... but its alrightworking HUD, which is pretty cool. about 98% rust free, and from what i can tell its only surface so no big deal there. price: secret

unfortunatly i have no intentions of keeping her long term, in fact trying to trade to another nico member. runs excellent. im pretty excited to be back into an s13, esp a 5 speed. this is my 3rd 240, and first time to own 2 at once. i promise i wont pick on the coupes anymore :P

coupe love?

yup.

pics will come in a few days. the car is at my buddys house so ill snap some tomorrow. just wanted to share my story.

***PIC UPDATE***









browntown

working hud



well thats her. like i said its pretty stock and has a few spots but IMO it has a lot of potential. the interior is really bugging me and this is the condition i got it in, minus the cd player (didnt come with stereo bracket). i think this saturday i will pull the interior and get to work.

well, i got it on the road today and it feels just like home. the ka is very healthy and it pulls hard. its quite quicker than my hatch was for a na, very smooth shifting, and no major problems ..yet. im not sure if its the lightness of the coupe or a better ka, but this is faster than my old s13, and my s14, no doubt. i almost dont want to give it up now..lol. pics to come soon, its been -25 out. also one major difference is the roof is quite lower and it takes some adjustments to get comfortable. being over 6 foot, im looking forward to nice weather so i can place my head out the moonroof haha.

nothing happening to s14, shes my baby. i "officially" took it off the road today and transfered everything to the s13 as my dd. i wasnt going to drive the s14 anyway. and i gotta say tho, hatch>coupe, but she puts up a screwing fight for that position. i dont want to turn into an argument of whats better, even tho i KINDA instigated, i can see where you coupe guys are coming from.

yea the color is definatly odd to me. i thought it was grey at first, someone else thought it was black (at nighttime). it works for me ..for now HUD- yea i was like "wow ive seen these on nico before" when i went to look at the car for the first time and noticed the dash had something special abt it

No deal? how about her, a set of 3/8'' metric sockets and a Klondike bar?
