Reposting because it got lost in the drama earlier today and DAMMIT I WORKED HARD ON THIS
I always had a bit of a weird bucket list, and one item on it was to do a road trip in a garbage car I bought cheap. Soon a likely candidate emerged in the form of a 1993 Nissan Sentra SE-R. I grabbed some friends and began the first half of the trip in my 1997 Buick Riviera, bought the car, and drove it back home all in one weekend. Expect to see more content with the Nissan as we make it the ultimate… something.
You can !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and other great content on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , a blog of cars and car shenanigans including the Crapcan Miata and $1 Sentra as well as opinion pieces, reviews, and more.
Don’t worry, I just got a gimbal in the mail so I won’t have to rely so heavily on software-based image stabilization.

Those are great! Seriously, nice find. NP, all day long. Makes a good LeMon, too, IIRC.
Also, I think I have that same Japanese Nostalgic Car sticker on the Porschelump in roughly the same place, just for the jamokes who mistake it for an RX-7.

LeMons is too expensive for my wallet. Going to freshen it up and take it to ALL of the autocross. Already have it signed up for one in two weeks, and I’m making steady progress on getting it fixed up.

Careful, you don’t want to have to drop a new clutch in...
I’ve heard they’re expensive...

That fuckin picture is my profile pic on miata forums, lol. Isn’t pushing the clutch all the way down like that how you *avoid* having to replace the clutch?

I always thought premature clutch wear was from people just pushing the pedal down *enough* to get the car in and out of gears. Shall do reading on the subject.
New clutches are in the $80-$150 ballpark, so certainly reasonable.
