I have a few questions but I'm no car expert so I'll just tell u guys some of the minor problems I'm facing in a simple way. 1st: I find that the 1st gear of my E30 runs out too quickly therefore I have to switch to 2nd gear real fast. For example, while in my friend's Myvi (m), I noticed he could run in 1st gear way longer than my E30 can. No matter how I balance the clutch and gas, the 1st gear doesn't last long enough which makes cornering out of a busy junction really challenging. What should I check/do? FYI.....the previous owner may have changed a thing or two.2nd: I want to get rid of the muffler (Apexi) the previous owner installed because its too loud and annoying. what exhaust should I get. Will the salesman take my current one in exchange? so I can get a new one cheaper... 3rd: There's cold water leaking from the sides of the middle section of the dashboard when I make a sharp and fast turn. It's definitely air-cond water but I want to ask u guys if u know exactly what the problem is. Thanks alot. I hope my ignorance does not annoy anyone.</p></blockquote><p></p>
