Wow, a 1Ga with only 90K miles? Nice find!

I agree with crazyVOLVOrob, mounting and re-mounting the jammer heads is a pain in the behind.

I suppose you could rig-up a quick-release device for the actual bumper mount or even use 3M Automotive Trim/Mo(u)lding tape as a temporary mounting solution, but where are you going to "store" the heads?

Granted, there's PLENTY of space in the 2.0L NA engine-compartment where you could pack away even the largest of the jammer heads - even two or three units, but I'd be worried about heat and/or engine-bay solvent (including everything from brake fluid to coolant to engine-oil) damage.....

I know that on the DSMs, their body-panels offer wide enough gaps that you can trail the wire (even the really thick ones that come with the ZR3) through the gap between the front fender and the A-pillar. But having to repeat the process over and over wouldn't be something that I'd necessarily look forward to, if you get my meaning.

Still, if you only used it, say, once a month, and don't mind the 15 or so minutes that it may take to "re-drape/thread" the cable runs, then actually, this isn't all that non-viable, either.

I agree the 2.0 FWD drive isn't all that shabby... from 0-40MPH it pulls decently, really all of 1st and 2nd aren't bad, from 3rd on though... its power does drop-off.

Yeah, a 1990 in 2004 that we got it at 80,000. (It actually just turned 90,000+).

Like I said though, its not for speed, its just a DD, thats why I keep the Kawasaki Superbike in the stables, until she is needed.

As for the mounting: I may just go 'under' the bumper I guess so I dont have to keep taking the heads on/off.

Either that or: In the winter take them on and off as needed (again I wont use them all that much, I try to stay away from lidar)... this way they dont get mucked up from the winter elements... IE (Salt/Slush/Hail/Snow etc etc)... then in the Spring/Summer leave them perminantly mounted.

Im honestly thinking maybe just get a Blinder M20 for now (christmas), then add an extra head later... so it has 3 and it will price out to be the same as a ZR3 in the first place. Then maybe even later on expand to another head, 3front... 1 Rear.
