Newbie in Sacramento, CA

[gotpancit]

Just thought I'd say whats up and thought I'd do an intro post. I'm currently thinking of getting a new project because my current audi s4 isn't the cheapest of cars to upgrade or maintain. I just bought a house thats only 6 miles away so its just as easy to bike to work as it is to drive, meaning downtime isn't an issue.

I've been on a look out for 2002's and datsun 510's. I'm sure this has been asked many times before and I'll probably search after this post, but what are the things I should be looking for in a 2002? Also did 2002's come with AC. Thats my sacramento 100+deg pansiness.

anyways, hello and maybe I'll get a chance to meet some locals!

Thanks

Omar

read first and then you can home in on detailed questions when you spot one you're interested in.

As for A/C, all 02 A/C was aftermarket. It's sorta adequate depending on how hot it is outside but nothing like modern auto A/C. It's been described as "a hamster blowing over a snowcone" but it's a little better than that--maybe two guinea pigs and several Slurpees...

Welcome to the '02 world...
