Haha, nice. True.

I sort of feel like $3,000 plus all that maintenance was not a good deal... unless it has low low miles.

I would just try to sell it for $3,500 or 3,700, and get your money back. No one would look at it twice at 4k.

I generally agree with fastrxu.

But, as for the front end.

Well... have you taken the bumper off? At this point I have less of an idea than you of whats causing the warping.

that is really clean. i would personally keep it and do the manual swap...i have heard its not hard. but it looks really clean minus the wheels. if you keep it, swap out the d16y7 and throw in a b series and make it a manual.
