Thought i'd say hey ..... i like the site...i've been reading the posts for about a week since i was given the car. Lots of great advice , seems most of you really enjoy sharing knowledge learned so i was hoping for a little boost in the right direction. The car i was given is in decent condition for 218,000 km, interior is clean, no rips, engine runs great..with a minor exhaust leak from the manifold...all other mech seems to be in good if not great condition. It was lady driven....she took it to a mechanic every 3 months just to make sure it was ok....except for the last year she had it...no oil changes or any work done on it. As soon as i got a hold of it i changed the oil , put in a K&N Air Filter..Wow..noticeable difference...better plugs and cleaned engine area. Tires were almost bald all seasons so i checked out a wrecker and lucked out getting some 15" aluminium rims and rubber Bridgestone Potenzas for $150.00 total. The guy said if i didn't buy them they'd just get stolen...so i told him to leave them against the fence and i'd think about it...HA..he didn't laugh. Lots of Protege's in his yard.....
So my question to you all is ...is an SE worth fix'n up even a little ( i have to use it as a daily driver..and drive around two kids ) i'd like to increase the HP ...even a little but don't want to swap an engine at this point..get better suspension..exhaust...little cosmetic things in the interior..swap the gauge cluster for one with a tach....anyway..before this turns into a novel...reading this site makes one want to customize everything...any ideas where i should start first..?
