:welcome: i spent like 3k on mine.....i want a 1200 clutch tho..

honestly, you dont even know how common an occurance this is to back into the garage door. at the door shop i used to work at this made for a regular daily service call. lol.

Replacing the clutch is so easy. All you really need is a torque wrench, a few sockets, jack stands and a jack and a 2nd hand. You can rebuild an engine for $1200 or even less.

4 years you say? and yet you are only 17? Do they permit a license for 13yearolds where you are from?

I have been driving since I was like 7 Just not on the street!.

my dad made me learn stick when I was 13, in the 2gee actually, back when it was his DD, so ive got 6 years of stick driving

i lerned how to Drive when i was 12 in a automatic subaru GL the next year i got my own car a 1982 Honda Accord 5speed hatch all my cars after that have been a stick shift

when i bought my 3gee i had to teach my self how to drive stick....i have less than a year...i learn the hard way...learn where all your gears are or when you try to downshift to 3rd gear you dont end up in 1st gear.

i'm 34 and have been driving a stick since I was 15,I've driven cross country several times and probably close to a million miles. I hate slushboxes,would rather have a 5 speed anyday

5speed FTW 4speed FTSW Automatic FTL

:gun:automatic :rocket:

oh yeah i still want pix of the garage :D

Were you taught how to properly drive a 5-speed?

Anyways i prefer a 5-speed. At first when my dad taught me, i didn't enjoy it because my dad has a bad temper at times, so any mistake he begins to yell. I ended up liking it and here i am driving a 5-speed as my DD :)

yea CAH you ought to try feathering the clutch in a pair of size 12,red forman foot up your ass style,steel toe work boots. LOL

So Total Family Interest In this car $7,697!
and the suck thing is it's a car that I don't feel like having a future with!
It smokes bad when I shift it, and it has decent rust, including the dreaded Wheel arch rust that has made a small hole in the arches.

So even know I feel stupid for what I invested in the car least it's a lot less then what my parents invested! One of the reason costs are so much for my parents are due to having a lot of mechanics screw them over.

My plan with the car is to Get a LX-i or SE-i and trade over any parts then can be traded, and Swap the old parts over to the LX and sell it.
