It's time (for me) to make a decision.

The feeling of being in complete control of the driveline definately has it's advantages.
Now, in a state of 40+ million people, there's not much room for spirited driving anymore. Driving has become stressful and to me, shifting gears in a DD doesn't help relax me anymore.
My 3G is a stick and I would welcome change.

Sorry to butt in again but...

You had a 240Z at 16? You lucky sonuvabitch. When I got my license I had an 82 Toyota Tercel with a 3-speed. :lol:

I know were getting a little off topic here. Speedpenguin, you are right, I really do like my Accord.

What product would you recommend to stop the rust?

There are plenty of 3G's at the junkyards, so body panels are somewhat plentiful.

My first car was a Toyota Starlet KP61. I worked my ass off @ Pizza Hut one summer and rewarded myself with a Z. I still own this one, but it's in storage at our rental house. I have owned this Z for 13 years.

I hear ya. Sometimes i get stressed out from idiots on the road. That is where the 5-speed comes in handy:bong:

^i got to say....i did put up a good fight with a 350z on sunday....4th gear and 5500 RPM....passed the hot girl driver then i had to get off the next exit cuz my tranny was acting up.

That Z is pretty. I <3 the 240Z.

Most basic auto supply places like PepBoys or Advance carry some kind of rust stop product. It comes in a plastic container and you paint it on. I've used a couple brands of this stuff and they all seem to work.

For best results spray some enamel over it to seal it once it cures. You can even use nail polish to seal it.

i say move
for the 3geez sake here im willing to trade you my house for your place what you think?

I say get another 3g. That is a lot of miles and after you put the money into fixing it up other things may need to be replaced.
