Hi guys,
I have posted a few times on here before, but now I am in Australia I feel I should do a proper introduction.
I am from the UK and own a Civic EE9, which I've had since 2005, and last year I got round to swapping in a B16B. I've done most of the work myself, including making a custom air duct and brackets for my Recaro's. I love it to death! Sadly its locked up in a garage back home, but if I end up settling here I will be shipping it over.
Current spec is:
ENGINE:
B16B engine

Artel silicone coolant hoses

I love cleaning and restoring cars and car parts, and so have started doing it commercially in my spare time. I have been doing it for 10 years now so am pretty good at it. So if anyone in the Melbourne area need any of my services just give me a shout - I don't charge much!
Here's my facebook page, which has plenty of pictures: M.E. Restoration (https://www.facebook.com/pages/ME-Restoration/517377491623426)
I will try and come to some meets when I sort a ride out. Ideally I was looking to pick up an EK4 but they seem quite pricey, so a DA5 seems a good comprimise when I start my job next month.
