My name is Tom and I am a big honda lover!

It all started with my brother and friends - they all are honda fans like me :cool:
This is my brothers car and this is our 5 year project:
Here is a little article about it if someone is interested - http://stance.lv/en/blog-en/161-civic-type-r-turbo-ek9-en

    Nope. Just need to be patient.

    Hey there, neighbor:)
    Nice to see Shuttle in Baltic in so great shape. From where did you get this Beagle?

    I was looking for shuttle about a year in all europe (mobile, autoscout etc.), I found this in Germany, it was imported from Austria, and the best part of buying it was, that the salesman was a Latvian too ;)
    ps. I also made a built thread, how it looked when I bought it and what I have done to it! But as I understand, it will appear shortly..

    if there's not a secret - how much did you pay for it?

    Starting price was 1500 euros, but I bought it for 1300 euros (including transit numbers) + I had to buy other rims with tyres, beacause it had winter tyres with nails and it's not legal to drive with them in Germany! Including the 2000km drive home + registration in Latvia was expesive for so old car (~700 euros)

    Funny thing: when I was going after it, I thought - rather it will be a total mess or a very good one! I was shocked how good it was and the price I think is very cheap for such a rare car! It's 1996 :cool:

    As I have found, shuttle have been in production till 1996! I think beagle basically is a JDM model, because I have seen many RHD and only some LHD models! Read somewhere that they are available only 1995, but when I found out that mines first registration is 1996, anything is possible ;)
    I am not so good in english - the fenders are around wheels? If yes, than it's original painting.

    Hah, many already have asked me this! I could sell it if it was a usual shuttle, but this rare model I will keep and upgrade;)
