I'm a newbie
-
Want to say this looks like a good forum so far. I have been watching for a year or so now, just never bothered to sign up and get an account till today. I live in Emerado, ND, and work in Grand Forks.
I have a red 1990 240SX coupe, it is the one in my avatar. I don't have much done to it. It overheated this past fall so I need to either replace the head or just the headgasket, I will have to see when I tear it apart. The radiator has a pin hole leak and it got too low. It is rust free, it was originally a California car, so it is in good shape.
I also have a 1992 Mazda MX-3 GS, that I am in the process of bringing back to good operating standards. It was owned by a female for a couple of years and nothing was repaired unless absolutely had to be fixed. When I got the driver's power window switch was busted, the lid off the center console was gone, the passenger side mirror was busted, the front brakes had stuck calipers and warped rotors, the front bumper has a big crack in it, the driver's power seatbelt is inoperative, the cruise control doesn't work, the ashtray doesn't close anymore, the ac doesn't work, the list goes on. I have the first 4 items fixed and the rest are in the process of getting repaired as I find time. Thankfully the seatbelt is under a lifetime warranty so I just have to wait for the dealer to get the parts in.
I also have a 1991 Ford Festiva which is my gas saving car. And then the wife has a 1996 Ford Taurus GL.
Just a small introduction of me and my cars.

Welcome! Young grasshopper!
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you -
Thanks for the welcome, guys. I have never seen a site leave this many welcomes so fast. I can't sell anybody the festiva, unless it really is a good deal for me. I have to drive back and forth also so it should help my gas mileage. But I will be on the look out for more, as I have had eight, and have put 6 back on the road. Easy cars to work on.
AFSil80 has seen my 240. The body is in amazingly good shape for its year. It even has a complete front lip, which I have found out is not that common. I want to do a motor swap and convert it to a 5-speed. As for what motor to put in it, I have to figure that out and then convince my wife it is what we NEED. Wish me luck.
