Which is why I'm here I would like to get any info that u guys could gives me so I know what I might be getting myself into. anything to look for when shopping around. Any information is good information.

Make sure the secondary butterfly screw in the intake manifold have been loctited.

Also make sure the catalytic converter attached to the exhaust manifold has been replaced/removed.

Other than that I can't think of much. What concerns do you have? They are very reliable vehicles. I have driven mine from 38k miles to 76k miles and counting. I had to replace my battery, evap control valve, and my window motor. Other than those pesky, problems I have not had any down time.

Well while my search I have found a spec v with a spun rod bearing and I looked around some forums has been a few other people that this happened to as well. Now I don't know what they did to those cars maybe they were highly abused cars, but I don't know the owners personally so not sure what was going on. I just want to be sure that isn't a very common problem. Also to be sure there isn't anything else that could be a problem down the road.

The only difference that ispec know between the se-r and the spec v is that spec v has different seats and a6the speed manual transmission. Optional was 8(?) speaker audio system.
