ok, despite that nice **** retentive series of posts that made me post on the 2nd page, i'd recommend the rims and a sound system. unlike other mods you would put onto your protege, you can always reuse your headunit, speakers, amps, subs.. in another car (for the most part 
). as far as rims, you can always come on here or ebay and try and ship your rims out, some ol' clown is always looking for rims...as i am right now 
. yeah, car may have lots of mileage on it, but just be proud it's gone that far. i mean, could break down for good in a year, or maybe in 5, who knows, not like you'll see much of the money you put into the car at any rate, you had might as well have fun with something you can actually throw on another car. just my .02 cents. as far as tranny vs. clutch... drop it
peace

now, if you'll shut up and try to actually learn something....
the clutch and transmission ARE two seperate entities.. The clutch is located inside the transmission bell housing... and while a seperate peice, being inside the bellhousing leads some people to consider it part of the transmission.. however, it is not the SAME as the transmission...
now, if the dipshit seller says "i replaced the clutch 2,000 miles ago" and says "new transmission" in the ad, either he's talking about two seperate peices or he's a ******* retard who did'nt deserve his car anyways.
please, i beg of you, aZnRicer..... keep your mouth shut, and go back to installing your altezzas, and leave the technical advice to people who know what the **** they're talking about, ok?

I hit the friction point dead on, and start hauling ***. the shift to second sucked cuz by then, the cavalier caught up to my drivers side door. little mistake but not the end of the world because as soon as i put it in third i left him about 3 1/2 - 4 car lengths behind. by now, the eclipse cuts off the cavalier and is at my rear bumper. im not really trying, so i ease my foot off the accelerator and let him pull up to my side. we make eye contact and i floor it again and let the spic have a whiff of some fresh carbon monoxide. i slow down and pull into the next exit and head back to town fair tire. NEWSFLASH: the cops are there with the spics in the mirage, shittin their pants. i already knew, i had a laser/radar detector handy but my girl insisted we take a gander. so i drive by and we laugh hysterically and head home. my car looks basically stock so i wouldnt see a reason for the cops to get suspicious.

I don't care if you don't know something.
if you two taught an automotive class, they'd fail.
I don't care if you're a "ricer." I'm not trying to prove that. I was just re-iterating your stupidity, and I don't think I need to any further...
