A very belated introduction.

[Temp3st]

Well after being on these forums for well over a year now i figured I'd finally do an introduction haha. My name is Vik (Wichard is my real name, good luck pronouncing that :P) and i live in Hervey Bay. Been in Australia for almost 4 years now, love the place wouldnt wanna live anywhere else. I started my Honda adventure by purchasing a black EK4 VTiR at the start of last year, and i loved it. The sound of vtec, the way it drove was magic to me. Earlier this year i sold that and opted for something a little quicker in the form of a jap spec B18C EK.
After a few months i realised my work was no longer going to keep me after my traineeship so i decided to sell up the EK and buy a dead stock EG and put the rest towards my debt accumulated from the first civic haha. So here I am, ready to start fresh with this EG cause i now have a much better understanding of cars and this will hopefully become a bit of a project when i get a new job. Ill throw photos up this arvo when I've had a chance to wash the car n give it a good vacuum.

- Vik.

Thats easy, its just Richard, but pronounded with a W in front. Welcome mate, even though you've been lurking around. Good luck with the EG.

[Temp3st]

Hahaha nope its not pronounced like that at all :P If i see you at the next meet I'll show you what it really sounds like, itll trip you out!

[DLO01]

Sounds interesting I think? Look forward to it.

[newpaddy3]

Looks like you might pronounce if Vychard. Sounds German.

I know a guy from South Africa with German heritage and that's how it's pronounced, yours is probably heaps different though lol.

Also noticed you picked up that silver EG, looks clean man, congrats.

[Temp3st]

haha well you got the V part and the german and south african parts right :P And yeah man its ridiculously clean, immactulate inside, a few small exterior problems but nothing i cant fix. Only problem me n dad have found is dad thinks a bearing in the gearbox is on its way out. Luckily though d series boxes really arent that expensive, so i wanna try n change the bearing myself, that way if i screw up i can buy another one :P

[newpaddy3]

lol you wouldn't happen to know anyone called Devon do you? :P

It'd be a good experience to learn to do it yourself. D series stuff is cheap :thumbsup:

[Temp3st]

haha nah unfortunately i dont, only know a select few south africans and almost all of them are up here in Hervey Bay. And yeah thats why i intend on doing it myself :D when i get a new job i wanna get myself a decent jack, tools and an engine hoist.

[Temp3st]

Hahaha nope still not correct lol look up the way the germans say the ch noise and you'd understand :P Will put photos up this arvo when i can be bothered resizing them.

Ill keep an eye out for your beast cruisin the streets lol. So you got plans to do an engine conversion?

[Temp3st]

Haha you wont see it very often where you are man i live in Hervey Bay, and im probably moving to Sunshine coast in the next 3 weeks however we have a massive Honda family in Brisbane so next time i'm down i might PM you and you can come chill with us or something. Yeah engine conversion is next on the list there's a b16 for sale on here atm with a b20 block as well i might hit the owner up once i've moved down there if its still for sale. Oh the joys of being on a decent salary while still living at home :P Yeah i love my rims i was looking for a set for so long then these popped up. They've got a bit of gutter rash n one lip is a little buckled but its only cosmetic it doesnt leak or anything and for the price i couldnt say no

[jeremydawg]

Ha, nice mate, yeah if i aint workin ill be chillin faw shaw. Haha, i live at home luckily but on a half decent salary :-/. Hopefully you can get that b16! let me know if ya end up gettin one. Ill be puttin up some better pics of mine soon, just went to Mt tambo took some decent shots.

[Temp3st]

Sounds sick! Here where i live there's no mountains or hills or anything and you can do an entire "tough lap" in under 20 minutes its so gay :( not to mention the bogan falcodores everywhere! Hopefully if i get this job in sunshine coast i can save up enough cash to get this motor it would be sick
