Oh it happened haha. I got no pics, it's still at the persons house. Pics will come though.
It's actually a friends car. He's moving to America with his Father and needed it gone. He had it advertised for $1200 with roadworthy but didnt sell it. He fly's out tomorrow and needed it gone no matter what so he just said pay for the transfer fee and the roadworthy and you can have it. So, that ended up to be about $168 or something haha. The paint is absolutely rooted and it overheated when on the highway. Would say it needs a new rad as it looked to be the genuine honda from factory! So it should be a nice little project for little money. I've always wanted to screw around with paint but never had a car crappy enough to do it on haha. If i can paint it and fiddle around and sell it on for about $1500 im going to be really stoked. But it's not really for the money, more a learning experience for me. |

Nice ben. As long as you don't set it on fire I doubt you can reduce the value
My new manifolds rocked up this morning. They're sex. Absolutely stoked when I saw how good they are. Now I just need a flash tune ecu & harness

Put in chopped lovells springs this afternoon. Slightly softer than the Autoexe's, but now the front sits just right tucking about 5mm of tire. Very happy i invested in spring compressors :P

Just came home from dentist 2nd time round (Went a few weeks ago if you remember)
$6900 to fix my teeth. Let me just go out to the shed and get some pliers. That'll be cheaper. Thats like criminal. My car is probably only worth that. Luckily i can claim about 2k of that back, and the rest can be paid off over 12 months. |

If only it were grills haha.
Nah, wisdom teeth removal. What has happened is i've grown a lovely batch of wisdom tooth and they've pushed all my teeth out of line. Causing some nice un-even wear... So have to get them removed and then some form of lovely piece of metal needs to be attached to the back of my teeth to move them back centre. Its like braces of some sort, but not. Since my teeth are in line, (Not crooked) but aren't lining up in not the correct order if that makes sense haha. The metal just stays there and moves it back slowly over years. Wont be able to see that i have metal in my mouth though. So thats good. |

Ah yeah, i getcha. I had wisdom teeth issues a few years ago - they were growing sideways (as in 90°!) and pushing my lower teeth all forward. Funny, i suffered through years of braces back in the late 90s and it sucked - i don't care that my lower ones are all crooked now!

Enjoying getting up late...
...As i got retrenched from my job yesterday. Usually economic downturn bull****. Will be back there as a contractor every so often, and have a few other freelance gigs to tide me over for the moment. But meh. Oh, and a mountain of parts (and cars) that need my attention.
