Hey all. I picked up an '89 SC as my track car. I've only gotten to take one autocross lap in it so far (it needs a new rear main seal), but I can tell it's going to be infinitely faster than my '06 WRX. I just need to learn how to drive it.

Looking forward to tapping the knowledge base here and over at mr2oc.

That looks great. If you dont mind, how much did you pay?

Mr_E · 09-01-2009, 02:43 PM

I picked it up for $3400. A fair price, given what I've had to do to it since (warped head, bad rear main seal).

thats kinda high bro....but anyways, welcome to the board from another nc member.

that seems a lil high, atleast yours looks cosmeticly well. welcome!

I didn't know that there was anything mechanically wrong with the car when I bought it. Since the car was in Cali, I had to rely on my dad to check it out for me. Also, it was an SC and the body and interior are in great condition, especially for the mileage. I mean, there's not even any wear on the seat bolsters. I wouldn't have paid that much for an NA model, nor for a SC if it wasn't in such good condition (again, at least physically). Anyway, I thought it a fair price for a rare car. I don't think I would have paid much more than that, though.

all in all its done. faster then a wrx? thats awesome haha. but yeah GL getting it up and running. rare it def is. mk1's are rare and SC? thats a bit rare too! i haven't even seen a mk1 here. i only saw 1 mk2 and it was very nice haha
