Show Us Your Motors!

Hmm, admirable effort, I see it has the typical UK Honda rot though :(
Fix the rot, get Koni yellows and Ground Control coilover sleeves, and a B16A engine in now ;)

Yeah rear corner is no longer rusty. Although a couple of days after I had it painted some horrible bugger sidesewiped me in the car park while I was at work. Typically there's no CCTV there either so I've got a nice new dent on that same panel and plenty of missing paint.

I'm going for Bilstein's (B12 kit, H&R springs), I don't need adjustability and I haven't heard a bad word about them. Pricey, but Bilstein are awesome really...

B16 isn't on the cards anytime soon, however I am converting mine to MPFI and then I'll pull a couple of tricks on it and see what's what. It's only the 1.3 but it seems to have a lot of potential as just opening up the exhaust has improved the response of the engine noticeably over the piece of crap that was there originally. Car is more of a test mule really than a proper project considering what I want after I'm done with uni...
 
The Passat replacement.

Whilst messing on with the boot install / car pc it started raining so needed to think of something quick!

Oh yes your local, in fact I think I may have seen you parked down Davies Road a short while back.

Have you seen the Dodge Ram SRT-10 down Camden?
Yeah, my best mate lives at the end so I'm often parked down there. I suspect you walk your dogs by, with my car parked awkwardly in your way on the pavement :p

And yeah, who could miss that Ram :eek:

Takes up half the road! :D
 
I've only ever had Jaguars as cars....not had one break down yet....touch wood. Those engines are bulletproof, though I can't speak for the V12. Plus this one's not had the chance yet, only had it 2 weeks. It's been looked after though. Like driving a big yawning sofa. So comfortable.
