I don't want one with a million miles on it
Long long ago when I had work done an a bearing the mechanic who worked the car pulled out every other synchro
He said it was an old 240Z secret and it would allow for quicker shifts
Well, that may have been true when the cart had 50k miles on it, but ever since about 90k that theory has proved to be totally wrong
The shift from 1st to 2nd cannot be rushed, it's the slowest shift known to man, it pisses me off, I need that particular shift to be quick
And if I rush it, I get nothing but grind...
I think Ellen should find me one, and I'll pay her a finder's fee...

And for the record, I would consider a spare engine too
But the tranny is a must

It's a popular site Lots of good stuff listed there. I don't charge for listings, and every once in awhile am repaid with 
story like how someone found the perfect car they had been looking for, or found a local buyer for their old car that otherwise would have been sent to the scrap pile

When I owned my '81 Accord 3-door I dated a girl who had a black '85 CRX-Si, and all I will say, is I loved them both equally
As soon as I got a better job I got rid of the Accord and got my '87 CRX-Si, in red of course

I think my response went right over your head. Either that or your ignoring it
