They do cool things, but they're a b**** to work on. I would rather kill myself than replace valve covers on an EJ33.

Seriously though, that SVX was fun, and anything plenum related was super easy, but as soon as you got to valve covers, game the f*** over.

No, it's on the front. You can do the whole 120k thing in car. You do have to remove the radiator completely though.

You don't "HAVE" to...but it make things easier. The VG in the Z is like 10 lbs of s*** stuffed in a 5 lb bag. Great motor...just saying, holy cramped under the hood.

How do ya'll like geocaching? Is there a website that you'd suggest starting with? I've looked into it here and there but I haven't found the 'treasure chest' of support I've been looking for in the New England area. Do you geocache in cities as well as rural areas? Can you give me a run down/over view of the hobby?

I'd like to try it out with the lady and as a way of getting the dog more active. It seems like a great way to see areas that we normally wouldn't have known about or gone to on our own.
What tools (GPS wise) do you suggest?
We love it! My mother-in-law introduced us to it this summer and we've been hooked ever since.
Go to: http://www.geocaching.com/ Everything you need is there. It can be a little awkward to wade through at first, but once you get the idea of it, it's pretty straight forward. Yea, we go all over. There are a bunch in the city, but a lot in the rural area's of Kansas too.

It's basically and online based game of hide-and-seek. Someone hides a cache, posts the info and GPS coordinates of the cache online. You then go and find it using the GPS coordinates and log that you found it at the cache and online.

If you're wanting to get out and walk the "geopups" as we call them and see new places, this is a great hobby for that.

I use my cell phone to geocache with. I have an app that connects online and finds caches close to me, gives me info about the cache, etc. You can also use a dedicated geocaching GPS unit. They tend to be a bit more accurate, but are more clumsy to use than if you had a smart phone and a geochaching app.

If you have a GPS capable cell phone, you can download a restricted app and get a free account on geocaching.com and try it out. If you like it, then spend the money on a premium account and pay for a real app for your phone. You'll be glad you did.
I vaguely remember asking someone I saw geocaching a few years back find the goodie left for them and leaving a new one with the intention of taking the old one to a new location of their choice. Does that happen, too?

I'll take a peek at the website. I have a Black Berry so the app probably isn't available to me, but doesn't mean I couldn't find a use GPS somewhere.
