Need some advice on value of parts.

Hey,
well its come time for a new daily driver. The maxima is a great car, but i need something more fuel efficient as i may be moving to a spot farther away from my work and college. So ill probably be getting a Geo metro or Ford Fastiva or something of the like.
ANYHOO, what kind of parts do you all look for off a parts car? My maxima is a 1990 black SE with black interior. Some performance parts like a JWT intake adapter with K&N intake, warspeed exhaust etc... Mainly i want to know what the demand is for other parts like ECU's, wiring, fuel injectors, manifolds, heads, etc...
Thanks alot fellas!

don't even think about a metro or festiva... at minimum, buy you a civic hatch or an old CRX. you're not required to rice it out....
they have tons more power and still get nearly the same gas mileage as those crapmobiles you mentioned, and they're fun to drive. I get my **** handed to me on a plate every time I run against them at auto X. small and nimble.

I think it would be easier for you and me to just sell you the whole car. Im looking to get $500 for the whole car either in parting it out, or selling all together.
heres some photos:




I can get pics of the interior as well if desired. The interior is very nice.

Oh, and for all you GEO haters, by brothers does very well at autox . Plus i need something very gas effecient and cheap.

Ok, i will let you all know for sure Sunday the 14th whether or not it gets parted out. Thanks for all the PM's thus far! Heres what i think is the vast majority of stuff ill be selling just to gauge interest.

-everything you need for a 5 speed tranny swap (tranny, shifter and linkage, flywheel, mount (may need new bushing), all related bolts, clutch pedal (can i seperate this from the other pedals?) all for $450 plus shipping. If im missing any important parts for this swap, let me know. Also, let me know if the price is decent. I know that boostedmaxima wanted the tranny by itself, but if i can sell all this as a whole, it would be very nice. Unless theres a high demand for all the parts minus the tranny.
-Stillen intake adapter with K&N filter and adapted stock intake tube for $50 + shipping.
- Warspeed y-pipe and cat-back without muffler. Ill sell these two parts seperate of each other no problem. Offer + shipping.
- Misc interior pieces. Pricing will vary. The interior is black/charcol.
- any good body panels, or spoiler, mirrors etc.. Pricing will vary.

Of course, the whole car is being parted out, so anything you can think of let me know!
