SO i am an Irishman that moved to Australia a few yrs back to escape the depression and have stayed down here in this fine country,well they haven't kicked me out yet!
Hondas all the way since i began driving 18 yrs ago,a few civics,some jdm Integras,Dc2 sir&Type r,Hrv's,Crv's and a rare Jdm Gen1 Crx Ballade sports!2 Dc5 Typer's one which i shipped down here with our big move in 2007 as i couldn't let it go
,3 gens of prelude and which is where i find my newest joy a 95 Bb4.
Enhancements are Skunk2 catback(got a Decat too,not on because the sound is criminal!)Apexi cone filter,King springs(stock height
,lowered ones waiting for fitment)Kyb shocks,Accord rear lip,Mugen rep front lip,invader style Cf bonnet,advans waiting for refurb on 1 then complete the set,Tanabe and AC auto technics struts front and rear.Close to being content just want it lowered and want some side skirts or might just paint the oems.
Its been a long slow year and most of the parts sourced have been from home in Ireland thanks to a very helpful ole fella and some good prices that one owner could not refuse.
SO i have had the water pump go firstly and got the full kit from Rokauto and added a Ks tuned manual belt tensioner over for the job too,had the aluminium radiator split through the fins top and bottom and found out they are not repairable,the dizzy went a while ago so got one through here and that got damaged but salvaged it and got one good one out of them both.
Did the rocker cover as it was flaked,oil changes,gearbox oil which was rank!Coolant,plugs,fuel filter upgraded from warped discs to slotted fronts and a few other things probably the other major was a full front end swap with an Aussie lude that had the belt go on it and it was a mates who also happened to be an auto sprayer and he'd refreshed his front 10 months ago
It was so what my car needed as the front was in awful condition from some minor impact and in the end i got my money back when the donor was refitted with the roughage.
My car has seen a a full respray in the last few yrs which it is the better for thankfully it wasn't a back yard job and looks pro.
Some smaller marks still prevail but overall it's a car to be proud off which i always try get to
Getting rare down here too,the jdms are very rare particularly the Bb4's,not that i know of any on the roads through owners clubs at present.
Hope to hang around here a bit more as you all seem like a nice friendly bunch
(illegal here too shhhhhh)
