What are your 2008 mod goals / wish list?

[Peakster]

Attainable Goals:
- Sell Gloria (should've done that last weekend when I was at home)
- Sell the Geo
- Get a carrier for my bicycle so it's more useful
- Find a job that's within walking (not biking) distance from where I live

Dream list:
- Custom build some sort of a 25-mph pedal-powered vehicle that features an enclosure for all-season use

A geo for sale!?!?!!?


Dibs! Sell it to me!

[Peakster]

LOL! Of all the Geo Metros out there, you want mine?!? Metros sell for so much cheaper in the 'States.

I'm planning to wait just 'till gas inevitably hits $5 a gallon here in Canada and then put on my sales pitch for the poor souls that spend $80 to fill their Cavaliers.

Darn.

Worth a shot.

I just started doing that and I love it! It takes me about 30 minutes to get to work by bike so I have to plan a little further ahead to make it work but the outcome is that I have knocked almost 40 miles of gas usage off of my total weekly driving! That's almost 2 gallons of gas per week that I save by riding instead of biking, I'm paying myself basically another $6/week to ride instead of drive and I'm getting back in shape in the process! $6/week x 4 weeks in a month = $24/month x 12 months = $288...not bad.

Also keep in mind that there more to running a car than gasoline, so you're saving huge money elsewhere too

Mehbe I'll scrape together the money to get myself a d15z1 for the CRX.

At the very least I want to get the proper ECU and otherwise fix the dang thing,

O'Reilly has Anco and Trico flat wiper blades. They replace both the blades and arms (or brackets, or whatever you call them). Cost: $12-15 for either flat or regular blades/arms. Refills: Regulars, $6. Flats, another $12, since you're replacing the whole unit. It's supposed to be 60*F here Saturday, so I should be able to mount (ie, glue) the cowling then. I'll post pics when it's done. I'll remount the old blades and measure the height difference too.

I took the Cav to 31mpg avg. last summer, but I've been able to keep it over 30 this winter. So I'm anxious to see what that means this summer.

What I want to do and what I'll be able to do are probably not the same.

Anyway - - -
Revised front air dam, cleaning up the imperfections in what's there now.
Lexan (polycarbonate) covers for headlight openings in grill panel.
Underbody flat covering
Rear wheel skirts
False windshield??? Do I have the nerve for that??
New summer grill panel if this one doesn't pull in enough air
