Alrighty then. I will copy and paste the posts from another thread on a different forum. There wont be many comments in them but feel free to post up what you think and any tips you may have.
 
Hello all,
ive owned this EM1 for 3 years. It was my daily drive but now that ive turned into an old fart and got myself a duuurty diesel, im gonna put this to good use.

I have done everything to the car myself since buying it standard in 2008. I took the decision to take it off the road last christmas as petrol prices and a craving for a diesel jammer took over lol!

I am currently rebuilding and tuning the engine (b16b). The chassis is being prepped by myself and phil burdock (b-racing). Hopefully soon i will be able to get a cage and put it in too!
Major work on the chassis will start at the weekend so I will update with progress at a later stage.
