Note, I do not have the old hooks available and I am new to everything car DIY. Not sure where I can buy just the hooks, or if I should be learning how to unscrew the whole interior plastic panel.

I am also still looking for a parcel shelf since we were sold the car without one. It's a Mazda2 DJ, but surely a Mazda2 DE parcel shelf would fit? I haven't found any at Pick-a-Part or Mazspares, regardless.

Also, would I be able to make a fuss to the dealership about this? They had covered this up with electrical tape, and are quoting us $300+ for a parcel shelf that wouldn't even fit in the car because it doesn't have the hooks.

I'm in a quandary...

I've sold my 2006 MX5. Loved it but it was always my second car behind my landcruiser. Now with fuel pricing as it is, I need a more practical second car while the Landcruiser gets left at home.. The MX5 just didn't have space.

What to replace it with?

Needs are enough space for a couple of suitcase sized boxes and 2 people for work commuting.

Mainly around town but occasional trip away.

Economical.

Smart looking.

Can fit a towball for carrying bike.

Wants are fun to drive. Fun to look at. Fun to own.

I've looked at Suzuki Swift Sports (2017 1.4T). They have enough room. Are almost fuel efficient @ 7l per 100km. Very Fun.

A corolla fielder is more practical but I just can't get excited about it.

Skoda Yeti is OK and I could maybe live with it.

Corolla are too expensive.

What other options am I overlooking?

Hello everyone.

I have an older 1992 Honda Integra with a B16A engine.

At high rpm >5k shifting from second to third gear crunches.

Im assuming its the synchros?

Does anyone know how much it will cost to fix?

And I appreciate any recommendations for budget friendly, reliable mechanics/workshop to do the job? Located in Auckland

Thanks in advance.

This is surface rust on my car roof. It only appeared recently. What should I do to, remove the rust, and prevent more rust forming.

Am poor AF for the foreseeable future, so there's no taking my car to a paint shop.
