i am having a hard time deciding what to get. i have the oppurtunity to get a 200sx se-r 5speed, or a 200sx se 5speed. the only problem is, that i can get the se for about a grand cheaper, and it comes in black or silver. the se-r comes in teal(what i can afford) if i mod my engine with headers/intake/cat back on the se, will it be up to par with the se-r or should i just get the se-r and f**K the color??

so you're actually considering an SE of an SE-R??? are you on crack?
SE=1.6L engine @ 115 HP
SE-R=2.0L engine @ 140hp
you will want the more powerful engine, especially if you want to tune it. putting headers/exaust/cai on the 1.6L will not even come close to being even with the 2.0L. you'll need to dump way more money into it to get 140 hp, in which case you could've just started with the 2.0L and saved yourself the trouble.
the choice is obvious. SE-R's are extremly rare and finding one in good condition is near impossible. you should snatch it up whilst you can. and hey, if you find your SR20 has too much power you can always put in a GA16
I bought a 200sx se. then I sold it 3 years later and bought a se-r. Should have done it right the first time!
Have you thought about everything else the SE-R have to offer for the $1000? Side skirts, four wheel disc brakes, "15 light weight rims, leather wrapped steering wheel/shifter etc?
I think we just made up your mind for you. Get the sr20.

w00t, same here....had the GA at first...very well modded. didnt even touch a stock sr20...so i sold the ga and got my se-r...sr20's own joo. i really cant believe ur comparing these 2 motors/cars. chucky called it on why ur spending the extra 1k$.....better overall.
the se-r!!!!! i am selling my gxe right now to get a 91 classic. the se-r wheels are only 15lbs beleive me! i took my tires off to paint and they are hella light.
also, i like the teal color. polish that bad boy up when you buy it and let that paint SHINE! have you seen the pic of the teal 200 with a carbon fiber hood and bronze wheels? it looks amazing to say the least. also, honda boys pay for that color to stand out and you have it stock.
