no update still?
Next meeting coming in up Tuesday.

where abouts the meeting? details?
also why not just standardize OzHonda as a name for the club?
If there is any members from Sydney who were part of the old honda club in the mid 1980's - early 90'scould you please contact me??
I am particularly chasing down some details on S800's and would like to get in contact with Phil C who owned amny and was part of teh club..
If you know him please pass this on.
Many thanks

PS If anyone has the archicve of the old hondas s club printed newsletter from back then could you please contact me.
I had an S800 coupe in the 1980s. Fantastic little car. Too bad a lot of the good ones ended up going back to Japan in the 90s.
Phil C(ampbell) works (or did until recently) at Shannon's Sydney office at St Leonards. He was also into 1960s Nissan/Datsun Silvias.
A colleague at work and his brother also had 3 S800 roadsters.
N-one in Australia could refurbish the S-series needle-roller crank and bearings. Fortunately one of the Honda club members was a Qantas pilot who often flew to Tokyo. Every now and then he would take a crank over for refurbishment.
One of the S800s in the club back then was a race car with a lot of factory bits including a very rare close-ratio 5-speed. The ratios were good for tracks like Amaroo and Catalina, okay for Oran Park. They would have been awful for Eastern Creek or Phillip Island
Thanks very much for the info.
Someone mentioned a bloke by the same name their but I didn't want to cold call.
I'll try him and see i he is able to help me.
Thanks again.
