Hello from Canberra!

Hi all,

Long time member of this site and lurker / member on the various other Honda related forums out there.

I own a DA9 Integra which I inherited from my parents when I finished school back in 2003, the car has since gone from a B18A to B18c2 to B20 vtec frank to sitting in various sheds for the past 6 years without a motor.

Fast forward to today and I'm FINALLY in a position financially and mentally where I'm ready to get back into it and so the car is now half way through receiving some love again in the way of a K24 conversion. *updated - originally was talk of frank k24/20 build but ended up just going k24*

Here I will share some photos of the old girl before it was parked up:

Anyway will post some photos of the K swap progress shortly, looks like i've hit the attachment limit hehe

Then the timing belt snapped while I was driving along and killed my b18c :( dickhead engine builder screwed me on this one.

Then I was rescued by way of B20 being offered up to me :D
