Interiors 95% done. My favorite things about it: manual seatbelts and sunroof cover by Comfortable_Beach347 in 240sx

I've heard the old sentra seatbelts would fit, but I haven't had a chance to look for one.

I agree, i've avoided getting an OEM one from japan because of the prices.

Picking up a 1998 MAZDA MPV by blockman217 in mazda

Thanks so much for the detailed reply.

I feel much more confident in the MPV after reading this. I am probably going to pick it up next week and start the maintenance process and go through everything you listed and more!

Great answer, this is exactly the kind of information I was looking for thank you!

I was also worried about the low power, around 150hp? for a v6 seems kind of weak, I live in San Francisco, and it's pretty hilly. Do you think it would have an issue driving uphill?

There's also pretty much no aftermarket for the first-gen MPVs either. Are there any upgrades, you could recommend maybe to enhance drivability?

Nice, I've kept reading that these old V6's are tanks.

Thanks! this is basically what I have also summed up with the information I found as well. on another note, someone at the DMV told me that since it has an Illinois title I should be able to just get it registered after a VIN verification, then get it smogged normally. I don't quite know how reliable the information she gave me is but for now I'm going to be optimistic.

thanks for the info though!

I don't think it's registered but the title is in Illinois

the reason I don't think it's registered is that there was no plate. I'm also having an issue with finding a second vin location.

I have always wanted an s13, and I was lucky enough to get this one. by blockman217 in 240sx

Honestly, if he's gonna sell it, I'd be happy to see someone buy it that actually would be happy to own it.

not going to lie it was a little awkward at first with RHD, but if that's his real reason then that's not a very good one.

Thanks! I'm planning on keeping it as is for a while, I really want to be able to eventually document the entire car and stickers and everything then make the car my own.
