$300, 193,000 miles, and spraypaint.

[TKD-Wolf]

I was thinking about that but I like the gray more than the white, but I'f I sprayed it gray it would take much more paint :S I'll probably just finnish off the ugly door white and get it painted a darker color later.

I've been out of work/school/working on car for about a week now because I had my wisdom teeth out, but now I just might be able to start working on the car again. I have a few questions about stuff I've been hearing/feeling form the car.

Sometimes the clutch pedal squeaks or pops, but it's not from the transmission, just the pedal. Is that a problem other than being annoying? I can still drive it fine. Also, how high up should the friction point be on the clutch pedal? It seems like my clutch maybe worn because the friction point is almost right at the top.

Also, if I start the car cold, it usually doesn't stay on very long the first time if it's been sitting all night. The second time I keep it from stalling out for few seconds and then it starts idling VERY rough around 500rpm, sort of bouncing. It like the eingine is hopping and not always running, like it's shutting off and coming back on, it's very quiet at this time too. Also, sometimes before it's really warmed up - and sometimes after - it doesn't like to listen to the gas pedal. When I try to acccelerate it starts to rev, you can hear it, but it smooths out and slows down.

Sometimes it really doesn't want to go into reverse. And I mean REALLLY. With the clutch all the way in, I move it over into reverse - GRIND. I try again more gently, but pushing down more (but not back qs fast/hard) - GRIND. Okay, so I put it in neutral and let off the clutch, then push the clutch in and try it again like normal. Sometimes it goes in fine, sometimes not. Then other times I can hardly tell It's in reverse at all, even though it is. Is my tranny dying, or just old, or am I doing something wrong?

Then there are the less important things: What would be a good way to keep the hatch quiet? It likes to rattle. It also leaks inexplicably - there are no holes in the weather stripping, no rust holes I see, but water gets in my hatch.

The driver side door and the front 1/4 panel don't seem to match, the 1/4 panel is missing alot of bolts, so I figured I'd put them back in. Mistake. I couldn't open the door. I can't figure out why because this panel seems to have simply been removed to spray it white then put back on - I don't think it's off another car. WTH?

Also, I need replacement windshield wipers badly. Luckily, I found some the previous owner obviously bought intending to put on. But they don't seem to match. The ones on the hachi are attached by a longer curved metal peice than the ones I have. I'll try to get a pic tomorrow so I can explain this one better. (yes, I'm having trouble replacing the wipers haha)

Well, that's all the questions I have for now.
