Been a member of the forum for a while now and never really used it properly, so now after spending hours reading through the threads and for sale section I thought I best reintroduce myself and start posting some threads of my own.
So here go's I'm Ryan located in south wales Abergavenny where there has got to be some of the best driving roads in the country apart for the pot holes. im on to my second Honda now after owning a lot of cars for a 21 year old, my first was a 98 ek4vti which was a cheap buy in till the abuse around the local roads proved to much for the 111k b16a and on the 3rd day of owning it when about to service it I found oil in the water. so I freshen the head up with new valve steam seals etc new timing belt, ali rad and she was a dream again. after a few 8 months of really abusing it clocking up 12k I really had fallen in love with the way it handled and performed but I knew I couldn't make it what I wanted. so I saved enough to buy myself a 98 b18c ek9 what a car the was exactly what I wanted , and it drove like a dream. I knew what my plans where for the car straight away, I used the 9 as a daily, and a late night touge monster through the summer, while sourcing the parts to make it into my own car. Now I've got the majority of the parts for my hi comp b18c build, suspension and wheels sorted and its time to build my dream machine, and although I have quite handy with the spanners no build is easy, so I thought that I would introduce myself before I ask you all for held and advice.
