hello everybody i am jintou new to ocuk forums, well forums in general..
thought i de make my first post and introduce myself a little..

i currently own a honda civic vti 3dr hatch ek4, prior to this i owned a honda civic vtis 5dr hatch mb6..
bit of a honda nut really as the first car i owned was the honda/rover collaberated 200 series hatch..

i m keen on the whole self maintanence thing and have been servicing my own cars for as long as i ve owned them..
through this i have gained a lot of working knowledge on the honda civic and hope to share some of this with everyone..
i do hope to learn some more too as time spent under the car is not always a smooth learning curve, occasionally it does end up in hours of screaming and shouting at inanimate objects purely to sooth that frustration self maintenance can cause..

i dont just keep the car running either, i do make my car run..
i live in the country side of hampshire and really enjoy just blatting around some of our a/b roads at some considerable pace..
to me the thrill of driving quickly point to point is addictive..

modding motors comes hand in hand with maintenance, i do upgrade rather than replace if parts become too old or worn, this does seem to be endless sometimes but you ll have to expect a few worn bushes and bodywork imperfections on a 12 year old car that receives abuse of the right foot veriety daily..

now to concludify this post hello everybody, will post more in future..jintou

the worst war wound from driving around is a 3inch crack on the lowest part of the front bumper, i said rabbits shouldnt play chicken with cars..

have had some scary roundabout moments where the back end has overtaken me so i m facing the other way on a roundabout!..

then sadly most of the bodywork imperfections come as a result of muppets and car parks, shopping trollys too..
