Title says it all, I'm in Morgantown, so closer to that end would do good for me. But Every shop I find is either not interested or too far away. AAA will tow my baru up to 100 miles. So I just got to find someone to swap the engine. If any grease monkeys want to do it themselves (I'll help of course), I'll gladly buy all the beer they can drink. I can't see myself swapping an engine myself since my tools consist of a 40$ wrench and socket set. And a dremel.

+1 for the raammatt I just got done matting mine down, cost basically nothing for how much it changed the car. -
I feel like an idiot now, I forgot windows roll down.

Scooby I still want to know how you snapped that picture. The only realistic option is crawling out the trunk.

NONE of the work was really hard, it was just time consuming. Espaically if you were careful. (Near the end I wasnt, and broke a handle, oh well. trip to the junkyard for me.) But All thats required for disasembling the doors is taking out 2 screws and a trim piece, pulling out some pull tabs all along the bottom/side edges, then pulling the piece up. It took me roughly a week of work on and off. Now that I know what the hell I'm doing, I could probably disasemble the door in 5 minutes. Well, take it apart enough to install the mat at least. The real time consumer was cutting little pieces to fit through the access holes on the door.

I have to give a second recommendation for raammat. Rick is a great guy to deal with. With Lesbaru down I raammatted the doors, the trunk, the hatch, and the front floor of my (extremely large) wagon, and it only cost me 250$ Even with parts of the car disasembled, inside the car is now quiter than inside my house.

If you want to modify something other than the sake of modifying it, good. But those gears might not even be that beneficial, espaically at that price. Longer gears dont necesarily mean better mpg. With the lack of torque you'll have to rev the engine even more than normal to keep you moving. For 2400$, buy a 1000$ CRX or something and get 45 mpg on gasoline.

If by 'fixed' you mean they're all the same?
