At least it didn't blow up!!! - My new se-i

[Lockleaf]

I got my new SE-i home from cali today. I drove it back to utah this weekend. Now the seller and I have a few issues to cover.

That link shows the auction. The guy says that both the A/C and the sunroof work. Yet I am forced to disagree on both of these points. There isn't even a belt connected to the a/c compressor under the hood. And the sunroof was siliconed shut on the outside. Then as i'm driving the damn thing home, the wind somehow catches the glass of the sunroof and rips it off. It gets held on by the back of the seal/trim stuff and just flips and smashes onto my roof. The interior slider bit gets sucked out the roof and now looks like a damned L. The glass is shattered but stayed in one piece. Now the whole damn thing is duck taped to the top of my car, but it wont even seat right so it sticks up like half an inch.

The front seats are from a coupe and aren't leather. The back has the tears, not the front.

But on the flip side, when I'll sell my other 3G, it will be like paying around $700 for a bunch of upgrades.

1. Installed sunroof (even if broken)(just the labor for that is $850)
2. Upgraded braking system(larger front rotor and 4 wheel disc)
3. Alloy rims
4. Fuel Injection system
5. Solid body (my other one's passenger B-bar is all smashed in)
6. It's (mostly) one color, even though the paint job is a $100 special. (my other one is champagne, gold, and silver )
7. It's an SE-I dammit. I've wanted one for 4 years. Now i have it, even if it's going to require more work than I had hoped.

So, all in all, I'm still happy with it. It's way more powerful than my '88 LX and stops 100x better.

Photos soon. It's late here and I want photos during the day. I'll post them up here in a couple o days.

Later guys.

holy shit yeah it stops fucking awesome! when he was over here in socal, he let me drive it and i have to say i tried to make the thing squeak and nothing!. although i only drove it around my building at work . the car does need some work but nothing major besides the damn sun roof.

Sucks about the sunroof, but its easy to replace the whole unit yourself.

Good luck/
