So my Girlfriend bought a beautiful GSL-SE (with pics!)

We paid $2100, i felt it was a pretty sweet deal. this thing is in AMAZING shape for its age and this region. Practically rust free, 130k miles, recent repaint (no accident, just done to keep it looking nice), nice brown leather interior, and working everything. we found it in Detroit, it was always garaged in the winters. Only problem is the oil cooler leaks, i knew it did when i bought it, but it will be replaced with a 2nd gen unit this weekend and some nice AN lines.

Heres some pictures from when we took it over to defined autoworks to visit Logan and Peter. The other -SE pictured is Peter's daily driver. Logan also has a silver -SE but it was busy getting a new engine so wasnt in the pictures.





(terrible steering wheel cover was removed)

its just.... beautiful... *tear*


her wrenchin hardcore, looking for the oil leak source.

Much better choice than a damn Sentra. All it needs is some boost.

Wow, great price and condition!

I paid 2750 for mine, finding more and more things that are needing to be replaced on it. However, it's fun and my soon-to-be 16 year old is having fun working on it.

WTF? HAX!

She clearly has a ratchet in hand...

It appears she's taking the header panel off or something. I can't think of anything that'd be leaking oil up that high though. Doesn't make sense.

Removing the top of the radiator support would give a very clear view of the oil cooler. ;]

correct! it was very oily on the underside, so pinpointing the exact leak was no easy task. she was taking off the radiator panel thingy to see what an above view would show us.
