SE owners----dash light check.

For those of you who have an SE, can you tell me which idiot lights light up on your instrument cluster when you turn the key on?

I haven't checked but i'm fairly certain they all light up at first, then the left most one goes off after about 30 seconds. the rest remain on

kind of a crappy pic, but this shows everylight that should light up:



the only light that should be be lit up or present is the o/d light and that is an orange light on the left of the light cluster. that light was only used for automatic trans equipped 7's...and the Se was never available with an auto trans.

Thanks. You have 8 lights lit up, but I thought the SE had 9 that lit up. Anyway, the pic helps. Dude----you only have 55K on your SE?

i sold the SE with a shade over 90K. that pic was taken when i first got the car. it was such a great car and i regret ever selling it. it was extremely reliable and always got good mileage. i sold it and used the money to pay for the 88 10 AE that i restored. here are a couple pics of the SE:

Beautiful! It's refreshing sometimes to see an original, unmolested SE. I bought my SE back in 1989 with 46K. I remember driving it home from the dealer, thinking I was some big shot----I was only 20 years old. Of course, in 1989 an SE was a pretty big deal. My SE now has a fresh paint job and looks better than when I bought it. And to think that about 4 years ago, I was going to sell it for $1,000. I'm glad I didn't make that mistake. I think that the major highlights of the RX-7 legacy will be the 1st gen SE, 2nd gen S5 TII, and any 3rd gen, with each one holding fairly high value, especially the 3rd gen, obviously.
