So yeah, I used to drive a e30 1985 bmw, got into a wreck with it... really enjoyed it thou.
I saw a 1993 mitsubishi eclipse for sale for 400 bucks, and I had to jump on it, but I have a few questions about it. First thou, here's some pictures:
Engine has 75k on it, chasis with 200 flat. It seems like I'm getting 30 miles to the gallon, what type of gas milage do these 4 banger 2.0 liters make?
Only huge problem with it is the transmission. You can baby it into 2nd gear, but you have to bring the clutch up EXTREMELY slow, and hold the stick in 2nd. What could this be, maybe some of the linkage? I've never delt with a front wheel drive car, so I really would like some help on that. Drove 50 miles home fine thou.
It's got a cold air intake, and some headers, how much are those worth?
Also what's the body kit/wheels/tail lights worth, and is anyone looking to buy some? Oh, its got a pretty big 'fartcan' exaust... what's that whole system worth? I've got the title so I might sell some of the parts off and put stock ones on. How hards it to swap the A/C belt?
Appreciate any help.

the shifting problem is proly the synchros, for the parts value it depends on what condition their in and what people are willing to pay for them. NIB: body kit is worth 5-700; intake and full exaust 500; lights 70.

Wow, that's way more that I figured. How hard are the syncros to replace, or do I have to have someone profesionaly rebuild them?
Thanks

oh. Well in that case, I'm gona get rid of the front because I think it looks pretty ugly, and it's cracked. Not only that but I scrape when I hit the breaks hard, or go over a 3 inch speed bump.
If anyone's interested, I'll trade it for stock :)
