Sup' new from across the ditch, "churr bro"

[yank]

Sup everyone! Just Arrived in Gold Coast from NZ. I heart Honda's so thought i'd sign up and hang out.

Don't have a car here yet, but hoping to get my hands on a hunduh soon! Haven't had one in a while.

Been tinkering with them for about 10 years now and keen to get into the scene here.

Here's some of my previous beaters

Forged/sleeved h22a turbo Civic Ej1 coupe

Swapped that for a Dc2 Integra with a built b18c in it. ripped out the 1800 and did NZs first H2b Swap

Went alright, but after a friend of mine put his EK4 up for sale I just had to have it

mostly because it had a k20a swapped into it

started circuit racing in this car, soo much fun.. But my real passion has always been building cars, so after a couple years it had to go. A friend of mine offered to swap the EK4 for a 98spec ITR and his Ae85 Toyata Levin

Got bored of the Blacktop 4age pretty quickly.. And did a silly thing of selling my ITR for 10k nzd to a mate of mine, and went and picked up a F20c engine and 6spd box

6 months later I finally had it in and running

and well, it was madness to drive :D

Ended up selling this off after a few years of crazyness, daily driving to and from work.

Acquired a Lemon Integra with a Supercharged B18cR in it... unfortunately i cooked the motor at a trackday, and got over it pretty quickly with the supercharger pumping out extreme Intake temps was just not Ideal for Racing

after that drama, picked up an EJ7 Coupe with a Redtop H2b swap in it.. By this time the "stance" era had arrived, so being the trend whore that I am.. Kept the Work Miesters from the lemon Dc2 , chucked em on the coupe, and got a Full rollcage
fabbed up, replaced the clutch, tidied up the Engine loom, and went racing once again.

H2b EJ7 racing

So much torque and awesome gear ratios,

After moving into a new place with my partner I lost the spare time I had for racing I
eventually swapped this car to yet another mate of mine who is currently racing this in the NZ Motul Cup Series and is doing quite well. What I got for it was another awesome little ae86 Levin

And then a mint series 1 Rx7

And I just sold this 1969 LHD Datsun Pickup before I came over.
