Firstly,that site is a joke.
If 'they' can get the masses to believe it then it's real.
Everything is energy and energy is thought.
These entities can only have power over U if U let them.
It can happen if we believe it can happen,the future is open because of the fluid nature 'time',so anything can happen.
'They' can munch and crunch us anytime but yet they don't.If they get desperate,which they are,they might,it's open.BUT "where are the good guys"? Right?!?!
Well,they have been here ALL THE TIME but vibrating higher,if we keep hanging in the lower vibrations,never the twain shall meet!
Choices have been made and paths have already been chosen,we are simply going through the motions.
Anything is possible!!
What is possible is up to U in this free will zone.
Of yes,darkness is desperate,those who have chosen the path of light have nothing to fear,never ever ever.
'Above top secret' LOL
They mix truth with lies to get U in to believe some BS.
Heaps of those sites out there.

Beautiful spot. Now tidy it up by going and saving that Escort, PLEASE.
Haha Yeah,I would love 2! but money..
There's a dutsun 120Y sitting out the back 2,classic!
Going by the badge on the Escort it's a 2ltr. Pull it out, get some pics, put it up on eBay or Gumtree. I'll bet there's a classic racer out there or a restorer that would pay money for that. Maybe even the 120Y. Do it man.Quote:

And great idea on selling the Escort, they are quite popular for racing and rally. I've always liked them since I was a kid. Some good dollars to be made Brett!
Edit: Here's a beauty:

Ah ! The old gravel on the road trick. Makes good ball bearings under tyres.
No one hurt, glad to hear it! My condolences mate, I liked your car too, nice and clean. RIP.
Thx Troy
Faaaaark man luck was on your side,
Sorry to hear man ,
happy to hear you all ok though !!
I liked your car 2 =(
Insurance?

Next car... TBA. I'll wait until i get insurance payment 1st.

Wheres Beez knees been lately? He's awol
Beeza is around, he doesn't have daily internet access is all. I'm flying the flag for now :)
Some cheery pics to unload the gloom of the crash:

The EM1
[IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/33bh2zd.jpg[/IMG]
If I was wanting to upgrade to a later model from my Gen2 CRX, this would be the one at the top of the list. Last of the good looking and sports type coupes Honda produced. EG model would be #2
Loving Brett's steering wheel!
I agree, the EM1 and the DC2 are the last of the great Honda coupes. However, clean ones are almost impossible to find these days.Quote:

When I get the insurance money, I think I will get a classic WRX. They are very plentiful and cheap (apart from insurance and fuel consumption). All paw grip will also help on less-than perfect country roads.
yep the subies are great on the corners with decent sussy setup.Quote:

im selling her due to upgrading for a 7seater cx9 (family reasons)
so if your keen on cheap insurance and makes shitloads of power (had EvO's STi's GTR's for breakfast) .. go for a fozzy rather than a WRX/STi.
as the fozzy's are classified as a family wagon AWD rather than a sports car :P
she'll be up for sale soon... :(
If you got a few minutes, this is good for a laugh:

Brett this race car is parked next to my work today - see if they are interested in your old escort haha!
http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/k...6/IMG_0269.jpg
EM1 gonna get parted out
B16a powered Batmobile is a real possibility
Uploaded pic of race car from next door. Brett you could sell your old Escort here and then use it for funds for B16a yo!
Ye olde Mk 1. Copied that straight to "My Pictures". Brett's is a Mk 2 and possibly more desirable for track/rally.Quote:

How many kms on the b16 mike?
Sorry hondapop, I probably would have spotted the difference if they were side by side haha. Good spottin'! But could you put the Mk2 engine into Mk1? I'm just thinking. And would it be worth it - was it any better? Also I'll see if I can get a better picture (iPhone takes pretty crap pics) and post up the full res for you if you like.
Yeah I like those rims too, just looking at them reminds me of the mini. They look so good on a Clubman! A search comes up with one instantly with those rims:
http://www.modifiedcars.com/pix/cars...17563_9634.jpg
No apologies needed, they and the Mini are "my era" after all. The pics fine, as good as anything my camera takes Haha and the wheels are Minilites which are still in production from the U.K. http://www.minilitewheels.com/index.htm . Brett's Mk2 is doing a bit of jungle warfare training by the look of it. Needs relieving and being given some R'n'R and then some TLC and then sent back into action, all guns blazing.
It also as I mentioned has the 2ltr SOHC engine which was the basis for the BDA rally engines and I wouldn't be surprised if that Mk1 isn't also so equipped. Ford's of that time were pretty easy to do swaps on and had a huge amount of performance support. Both the Mk1's and 2's were the rally cars to beat back then.
To be honest I like the nose of the Mk1 a lot better. I had the joy of listening to the race car drive through my car park and onto the trailer, I ran out of my office to watch it. It had a very nice exhaust note.
Here's a jaw-dropper for you on trading post now.
http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automo...5lPie5Cz3R2Q==
This ones been converted to 2ltr from 1.6. The reference to Pinto engine is because the engine was originally produced for use in Ford America's small car of that name.
Just been looking at google sites andthe 2ltr first appeared in the Mk1 (RS 2000)
I brought my camera today but the race car is not there anymore. :( But it did have a RS2000 badge on the boot when I looked yesterday, not sure if it's just a badge or the real deal. But it was pretty cool. Oh well.
$7500 for that! It's a lot of money for an old car but it does look very clean.
The one at my mates place is FULLY rusted out,all the doors,everything,major,major.
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Mmmmm,Love the MK 1!
My mate had a Mk1 and I had the Mk 2,he was a nutter driver.
I remember on our formal day we were all standing out the front of the school,he came FLYING around the corner trying to drift but failed and it looked ugly but no crash luckily LOL
276,000k's on the b16 Chris.
Can't wait to get it in :)
205,000 actuallyQuote:

he made the million FYI
car has been shipped to the batcave, engine started well according to Brett, the part out has begun
I'm sensing a cruise out to Brett's with a bunch of us guys and we can spend the day stripping the em1 down :D
Beezas already onto it :)Quote:

Would be in for a cruise.
No posting of other peoples cars allowed yuleh
I have seen that video and another which is basically the same. I know it's a Honda and Hondas are great but you can't say that running up the ks on an engine has no affect on it.Quote:

I'm saying if you properly warm up the engine and change the oil/filter every 5,000km from at least 100,000km and keep it topped up, you should be VTECing hard (as long as ur not bouncing it off the limited every chance you get) for up to 400,000kms+
Until the crash, my B16a still felt like new. That's from personal experience.
All engines wear, but it can be minimised with proper care and maintainence.
Yup,sure did Ryan,lost the hotmail and other friends have got probs now too lolQuote:
