Welcome to the forum.
C20NE's are very common, good solid torquey engines, just make sure it's serviced regularly and breather hoses clean out, inlet cleaned out etc, it should prove a reliable block.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Hey Stu, it's Dan (formerly of V6 CDX fame!). Glad you made it along, and welcome to cavmk3oc.com Stick around, and get some pics up of your Cav in the Work In Progress or Showroom section, whichever applies. Look forward to seeing 'em.
No regional organisers (officially) atm, but the Events and Meets section does tend to get populated by the same folk arranging get togethers fairly regularly, so put your name down or start one near you. There are quite a few NE members on the forum so I'm sure it won't take long til you encounter them all! Get your location in your profile, it might be of use if someone wants to invite 'local' members to a NE meet!
Anyway, enjoy your stay, look forward to chatting some more
