As much as I hate to admit it, Jap cars are pretty cool, atleast this Sentra is. Long story made short, the previous owner drove the car for 50K miles without an oil change, and about 15K miles with no gear oil in the tranny. The car has 138K miles on it, and since I changed the oil and added gear oil it has seen 6 days of rallys and rallycrosses in which it's bouncing off the revlimiter for hours. The motor is an amazing piece of work.

That said, there is no comparison to the '02. I may not even sell it. Just trying to figure out how to keep my ass in the dirt and out of the doghouse.

Tiis are becoming rarer every year. You will devaluate a Tii if you "M" it. Oh, I forgot that PT Barnum did say, "there's a sucker born every minute". There are plenty of 2002s with square tailights around for guys to do that to, I guess. If you put an M motor in one, it really wouldn't be a 2002 anymore. For my money, keep a Tii stock, or stock appearing. Too bad you diddn't start out with a 320i or something...No brainer...Sounds like you're milking the car for all it's worth...Oh, that's right, you're campaigning a japanese car aren't you! I hope it doesn't grenade!
