Anyone Want to Help a UNBC Student with a Final GIS Project?

Hello all,
As of the next two week I will be working on my final GIS (geographical information system) project. I have a couple of ideas of what i want to do, but some interest me (or would be fun to do ) more than others. Basically what i was hoping to do was have voluntary JDM drivers PM me there postal codes (just the postal code). then i go through stats can data and match that code to dissemination areas and census tracts. that will turn into a point on a map ( not exactly where you live but pretty close). then i would get the addresses of JDM importers,and repair shops and put them on the map.once that is done ill make a buffer around these locations (haven't decided what distance yet) to see how many JDM drivers are in serviceable areas. at the end of the two weeks there will be a website up showing my projects, so any one who is interested could take a look.
now this whole thing relies on whether i can get enough postal codes from JDM drivers, which i know people will be hesitant to give. right now its either this or tracking the beetle kill across BC, but there are already tons of studies on that and i wouldn't want to be mixed up in plagiarism.
ill PM mark and see if he has the old delica.ca owners map.
alright thanks!
