I started out with the 240 which is more geared for show. I want to swap the SR20DET into it, but the way I wanna do it will cost me about $5-$6k, so for now I am gonna just swap the tranny to a 5 spd so it's more fun to drive. When I bought my hatch, I got a ZC from Nippon which has been sitting in my garage for ever, so I am selling it. I swapped it over to MPFI over a year ago and then I found HMT and put together a turbo kit which I ended up selling. Well, I spend the summer watching the guy that I sold the kit to have fun and decided that if I could not afford to swap the 240 the hatch would get the low budget boost upgrade. The Ranger is my all purpose vehicle, once you have a truck you always have to have a truck. The Protege 5 is the wife's everyday summer/fun car and we picked the Taurus up for her this year to drive in the winter.

Sweet!!! I will be running both Uberdata and TurboEdit with this next engine so the Ostrich might be fun if we get it running easily.

As far as an address...I'm in Theft Capitol, USA so I would prefer not to post the addy to my garage in public.

The town is Ridgefield Park, NJ so you could map quest that.

I'll post the exact addy a couple days before the meet, but if you want it PM me an I'll give it to you.

Oh, I guess I should state...anyone who is not 21...BYOB, anyone who is over 21...I got ya covered ;)

I would be glad to, but a local guy gave me $250 down a couple of days before Xmas and said he would have the rest shortly after Xmas.

my garage is pretty safe though...its behind a house and locked up pretty well

there are 3 other cars parked outside and 5 other garages with hooked up cars (VWs only) so someone is always coming/going and we look out for each other

plus the owner lives there and he knows who comes and goes

its pretty tight for only $90/month
