Hey guys, Im Ox. New to the site, been trying to find time to register on here, looks like 1am in the morning is the only time I have to do it :p

I drive a blue EG4, nothing special at all, bought it from a wreckers and up untill this point it has been nothing but headaches. New box, clutch and some other bits and pieces later and its finally running half decent. Still blows a bit of smoke tho, damn valve stem seals... Meh, dont have time to worry about that, just keep topping up the oil :cool:

How I bought it:

I had a few plans but since life doesn't go the way you plan I've had to scrap a few. I plan on doing all the suspension (coilovers, swaybars, 3point front strut brace, 4 point rear, control arms, camber kit) aswell as make a full stainless ehxaust system. I want it to stick to the road before I give it a bit more power. The plans were to do all the body work and respray it but since its my daily pig I thought why bother.. It'll just get banged up again, the day after I shaved the rear I got hit in the rear, hence the rear not lining up at all... Meh.

Hopefully you might see me around as I usually drive from Reservoir to Dandenong and back on the weekends for work etc. Hopefully if any of you guys on here see me you'll throw me a wave, I usually do but get dirty looks from most people :thumbdwn:

So yeah, hope to hear some feed back from you all, will try my hardest to make it to some meets! Just look for the guy with the crooked mohawk, thats me!

:wave:

sweet man, can't believe you scored her for 950 bux!?!
You may think not straight, but i was looking for a shell for months and couldn't find one half that good in the entire state for under $1500!!

Look foward to seeing her round, ever cruise the dandenongs?

Thanks for the comments guys, should have started screaming at me panda, then I would have know who you were! I too saw some nice hondas in the carpark...

I payed $880 for it originally, but it probably owes me $2800 on road.. Ive been thinking about taking out a loan and putting a h22 in it but I am still undecided.. What you guys think?
