INTRODUCTION:
Hey guys,
I joined this forum not long after getting my first car.
Originally I was after something which was turboed, for example a Nissan Silvias; s13 and 14s. But as more and more laws came in for new drivers, there was restrictions on what you can/can't drive. And just my luck, a turbo car was crossed off the list.
So I continued to search around for NA cars without having much luck of really liking anything. But I did have a friend who had been into Hondas for a long time, so I decided to look into them. I really liked the EK shape and power it was putting out (nothing mind blowing but it was decent; B16a2), and loved the EM1 coupe. Down here in Australia they are kind of hard to find, but after quite abit of searching I had found one. It had only had two owners, with log books etc, and the more recent owner was a girl. That being said there was quite a few dints and dings here and there, but hey, as long as the interior and engine was strong, I was fine with that. Cosmetics can come after..
Long story short, after quite abit of hassle I managed to get her for a decent price. I purchased her in February 2009 and in this year of owning the car, I couldn't have learned enough, and cannot stop talking so highly of Hondas now; build, quality, engine, visually, price etc.
Anyway, enough of the chit chat, on to the build!
