Post by **Judge** » Fri Oct 10, 2003 7:38 am

I have no idea what mine is other than its a coupe with absolutely no options checked off on that list back in late 88.

SE, I dont know what I'd do in life if I had to roll up my own window, it's beyond comprehension! Go for the SE but try to work the price down!

Base model s13:No power windowsNo power door locksNo sunroofNo rusty foam spoiler (heh heh)Steel wheels & hubcaps (long gone)No VLSD

No cruise control (good if you want a custom steering wheel)No airbags (also good if you want a custom steering wheel)Softer suspension than an SE (not anymore)I've had two base models and I love 'em. It's all in what YOU want.

I have a Base model, but I've added the power door locks, VLSD, white SE gauges, and i'm workin on gettin some power mirrors and maybe i could rig a cruise control some how.. i dunno. Also, I don't have a sun roof and i'm glad! thats just more weight!

sunroof makes most cars less rigid....cruise control is in my other cars and I never use it......I guess when I get home from cali and the car I looked into is still available I will buy it and add some killer rims next spring...then the Vortex bodykit.

i have a 92 le power windows locks lether i think its hevyer than se

Post by **WingsNThangs** » Fri Oct 10, 2003 7:38 am

if its heavier, its by less than 10lbs.

Post by **Nismo_Freak** » Fri Oct 10, 2003 7:38 am

I have a Base/SE... it has every SE part that makes it an SE with the exception of the gauges and fogs, which I sold. LOL... kinda ironic cause I didn't even try to make it one.

Post by **fiznat** » Fri Oct 10, 2003 7:38 am

oh thats right, I forgot about power mirrors and cruise control... got those too.

Also, Judge is wrong-- all SEs didnt come with VLSD (case and point - mine

). Uhmm not sure about the koning rims either... just SE had the 5 spoke steel wheels while the base had cheapo hubcaps I beleive... anyways I just know what I have and pretty sure they aint anything special besides SE stuff...

Maybe you should reread what I said...the car I was looking at had those options and Konigs..I never once said al SE's did.

not neccesarily. a properly done sunroof will be just as structurally sound as an enclosed roof. the added weight of sunroofs comes from the structural reinforcements added around the opening. it's the same deal with any car that's had it's roof chopped in some way. t-tops, verts, and sunroofs.

ditto, minus vLSD. I also already had power windows and I added the rear deck lid with speaker holes so I could put in speaker back there. I wish I had 5 lugs and an LSD

as for Judge... $3000 is a huge price difference. The price difference is normally only $500-1000 max

Post by **ZenKid_S14** » Fri Oct 10, 2003 7:38 am

not all SE's come with VLSD, i gotta 96 SE and it's an open diff.

base model with pw, spoiler, aftermarket alarm system that i think uses power locks but i cant figure out how it works, power mirrors, and i added a front SE lip spoiler.

Mine is an XE

Post by **T_love** » Fri Oct 10, 2003 7:38 am

I don't know what mine is. The title says SE but it had hubcaps, no whiteface gauges, and 4-lugs. Doesn't matter though coz i now have almost everything that the SE has. Not to mention it came with power everything and a sunroof.

Canadian LE. Has everything a fully loaded 240 would come with.

I believe majority of Coupes with HUD were full loaded whetherit'd be US or Canadian.

I think VLSD was the only option not avail on US.

base...le or se....who has what level?
