Another quick update,
I have around 178,800 km's on the car now, and it still runs really well, and wants to accelerate pretty fast too. The rust the car had on the driver door sill/rocker and drivers door has gotten worse now, and a few more spots are starting to show up here and there. Not a big deal as this car IS 10 years old now, and I don't think it's ever been oil sprayed in the last 9. I will look into fixing up those areas, and I still haven't fixed the radio (which I will likely do during march break with a new deck, and maybe a Bazooka for the trunk to be driven off the Power Acoustik amp I used to use in the ZX3). There are some noises from the suspension now (though they have been mostly noticeable in the cold), and I think that's just because the roads here in Kingston are so rough ( I think they can seriously give Ottawa a run for it's money).
I am going to get some new tires for the summer for it, and I am waiting for the headlight bulbs to burn out so I have an excuse to upgrade them (at least with some Eurolights or GE Nighthawks...I bought Nighthawk front turn indicator bulbs for it a couple months ago). So far, this car has made me wish I had bought one sooner (perhaps instead of my Mustang), and given me a silent appreciation for Nissan products that I didn't really have before.
Guess we will have to wait and see what happens over time...(someone at work got a Focus ST, and I am thinking about test driving one for myself).
