    New Daily Driver.. 97' Aspire

    Picked this up last night for a new DD, got a decent deal, lots of new parts on it and receipts for them and maintence with it from the PO. Runs great! First aspire I've owned, I do like the ride, should make for a good driver, bummer it's not a stick! But the Mpg's still seemed good, guess 30-35..















    Just need a few small parts here and there, nothing major.
    -93' L BP swap/e-series, coilovers, RIO front swap, redrilled festy drums, Miata 14" 7 spokes.
    -88' Mazda 323 SE, work in progress..
    -85' Nissan Sentra 5 spd.

              ^ I agree I'd prefer a manual for sure in it, but for now it just needs to serve daily driving duty..

                You should just call it Egg. In white it really looks like one! Hope it serves it's purpose while you attack that Sentra and get that Weber running good!

                  Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

                        Sweet! Another aspire guy! I know your already thinking about replacing the head unit lol... If you do keep in mind you will want to replace all 4 speakers too! Factory speakers and head unit use a 3 ohm load, so you stick a 4 ohm head unit in there and it will sound great, for about a week.

                              Yeah those stock speakers are crap.
                              I remember the first thing I did to the car was throw out all the stock speakers.
                              I spent 6 months with no tunes simply because
                              it was better for me to have no sound, than listen to those crap speakers.
