BsBB1
Stands for Ben's BB1
Really thought I'd better type a profile out, for my own benefit as much as anyone else
I've had Nigella (Mrs named her, as there's NG in the plate, but it suits ) since April 2002.
Thought I might change to an S2K at some point as many do, but quite frankly I decided against it as I prefer the Lude.
Now done 173k and still pulling like a train. Well it made it to 176k before I decided to go for a new engine, spec below
I've had all recent work done by Richy at PAW, - the only person I trust to work on my car other than myself these days.
Right, specs:
UKDM, so BB1, VTEC.
Phantom Gray Pearl.
Usual specs, except for:
ENGINE / GEARBOX ETC

Whip out the VAFC2 now it's surplus and flog it.

Clean up the rad brackets and plug cover
Install chrome handles.
Refurb my JDM fogs and install (or sell TBH)
Remove front reg plate holder and relocate plate
Refurb the grill I installed in the front bumper 10 years ago i.e. spray it satin black.
Stop lugging the spare around and make a new custom boot liner
**eventually/maybe** full respray, in the same colour
PICS

Re: BsBB1
Thanks guys.
I know what you mean Pushki, so few clean ones left these days, people will realise what they've thrown away when it's too late
Nitin - Its an uneven surface atually, making it look higher at the back.
I cant lower it any more anyway as I nearly leave the exhaust on speed humps as it is!
Oh and cheers for the rep Indigo
