JDM Beagle in NZ - fix and fiddle

Hi all,

I have fancied getting a beagle for a few years, found a cheap one with 147,000km on the clock so I went and got it within 3 hours of it going on sale.

Its a 1595cc(i think) SOHC 16v ZC.. Had it nearly 2 weeks... so far I have just removed bits, changed oil & filter + put apipercross re-usable filter in the std airbox.

Its a lovely car to drive, I prefer it to the pajero evolution I sold last year!..

I am planning;
1. Upgrade front brakes (probably just better pads rotors and some new fluid)
2. new exhaust back box as its a bit rusty (only rust on the car!)
3. some braces
4. reading some build threads and copying the stuff I like!

Edit... After I stop the exhaust vibrating at low revs and take the Dash off to remove whatever is rattling behind it!... (i am hoping its a diamond or something).

    I am in Christchurch - just about to spend some time on the Beagle over the holiday weekend.. need to figure out what other hondas the discs and callipers are the same as (so I can replace them with nice pads and non-warped discs), might give the callipers a wee clean and paint too. Then figure out how to mount a new back box without messing up my Tow bar & then work on my dashboard for my 1988 Peugeot 309 gti :) .. Will put up some pics too
