New to Aus and Ozhonda

[Lemons]

Hey all.

I have just moved from New Zealand to Parramatta. I just sold my baby a 92 EG8 turbo sedan. Still getting used to everything over here, looking for a new car.. possibly a dc2r or another eg hatch. I'll post pics when I get my PC up and running.

Look forward to seeing you all around.
Neil

Thanks for the warm welcome (still getting used to the climate), I'm not to sure of the models etc over here, but my civic was orginally an injected d15b. Which I frankensteined with a d16 bottom end, with forged rods and pistons, d15b head, modified td05 turbo. Best I ran in street form was a 13.3 and on the next run blew my clutch plate into 7 pieces :thumbdwn:

Hey man, Yeah cars are expensive here.. Specially ITR's & CTR's.. :thumbdwn:

Anyone know whats good around parramatta on a fri/sat night? The only thing I've found so far is a half arse comedy club. Or a fairly priced Gym?

Tell me about it lol a GLi EK Sedan is $11,000
And to bring my car to Oz cost nearly as much as it did to buy the car in Japan AND bring it to New Zealand

Lets not even start on the outrageous registration fees here, and to think I was crying about paying $200 a year in NZ

But personalized plates are like a third of what they are across the ditch

[Lemons]

Yeah I know, compared to >$5000 in NZ :( One of the few +'s about NZ lol
