Shuttle touching down from NZ
liftoff
Band Wagon
Picked this little honey up for about $200 US, with a Warrant of Fitness (our proof that the car is roadworthy) and plenty of registration (NZ for Tax I think).
Has the D15B 1.5 twin CV carb (shudder) engine and poxy 4 speed auto. Drives incredibly well for its age, not fantastic on gas, but certainly not bad.
Needs the CVs checked/replaced, the auto needs some fluid most likely and it's due for a full service in the form of plugs, oil, filters, leads and the like. This will all be done in the coming weeks.
Body wise, it's not the best. The front has taken a hammering over the years from stones and needs a repaint, and it has the usualy scrapes and dents about the place. I'm thinking a panda-style repaint is on the cards. Interior is superb.
Near future plans include a thorough slamming with super low king springs, and a set of 15" Honda Steels painted gloss black. I'll also tidy the body up and drive it into the ground!

What part of the country you from?
I'm in Hamilton.
I just got my info from Haydz on here and NZH.
Looks like a pretty good score, shame about the auto though.
for $200 you cant buy a set of tires. great score 8)
For $200 I cant buy one tyre
Looks like its got some high ks, but you can pick up another engine cheap
Sucks being a student again, I'm used to being able to mod my cars relatively quickly...No such luck here
Sans cover
This weird speaker cover/box thing was in there
Used the same screws that held the odd cover in, just had to drill new holes. Looks right at home
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnddddd we're done
Whipped the hubs off and flashed some matte black on the wheels. Looking at some 16" steels of an Accord or something. Might opt for 15s purely for cheaper tyres.
Accords are 4x114.3 though so the steels wont fit
Missed out on the 16s but that's okay, will go lower on 15s. Just need to track some down.
Gave the rocker cover a blow-over today. I really need to procure some new leads etc and give the bay a good tidy.
Also keen to investigate remvoing some of the EGR garbage...Scary in there though!
jeez no kidding! :shock:
x2
but keep the mirrors white :P
