S'alright?!
S'ALRIGHT?!!...

I'll have you know it's got a Jap spoiler and rear bumper FFS!

I'm glad you saw this actually, it saves me sending you an email, but TBH it would have just been:

Rich

Ben.

Cheers for the kind words about the car mate, as you know I do try to look after it as best as I (and funds) can.
It really is driving great since the polybush, even the Mrs is impressed. Took it for a long drive today and it really is like a different animal. I totally concede that you've been right to go on about it all this time to me...

See you soon for that lump

Great job Ben. Glad that you are enjoying the car and its feels significantly better after getting the bushes done.

Its a real incentive to make a start on mine this weekend.

Updated the first post.

I've finally taken the plunge and set the wheels in motion for a new engine.

Specs to follow, but basically a spangly new Rich-built H22A8 with a little working here and there...

This is one of my 'Big Three' - Full polybush / New Engine / Full respray - the jobs which I've wanted to do for literally years in some cases, but have had to wait for funds, timing, life to stop getting in the way etc.
To say I'm

with excitement already is an understatement, but much more importanatly I also get to use the fabled scared toss smillie! \o/

And if anyone has a Hondata P28 S300 gathering dust, I'll give yer a tenner for it.
Annnnnd I really will get some more pics up of the car soon, it's getting embarrassing now

Specially considering you're a photographer. FFS Ben, really!

Oh jeez don't

You know what it's like, when the cars clean, its raining, when its not raining I have no time (and other lame excuses)

TBH I feel a bit lame as most guys on here have epic looking cars/mods, and mine is pretty standard looking really, just a few choice changes here and there and I try and keep it tidy. But I WILL try to put some more pics up, promise!

Nothing wrong with standard looking, I'm quite into standard looking myself

With a bit of luck this weather will stick around and I'll get some shots at the weekend

UPDATE:

Thought I'd share some of the progress pics that Rich at PAW has been kind enough to take.
I won't waffle around them, but basically its the H22A8 from start, through strip down and clean up, then obviously being built back up with a few mods such as a bit of port blending and balance shaft removal.
