Coming over all German

Well...having taken a deposit on the Integra I decided I needed another car for a daily...well my mum decided I needed another car for a daily driver. So I went looking for a car that I can use every day and learn to do some drifty stuff in... I saw this up for sale and I needed to see the car...went to see the car and just bought it on the spot. What I found about it so far, engine is mechanically sound. Suspensions need a little bit of work but the parts were provided to fix it. Door and wing needs sprayed but I am not bothered. Trim and sideskirts and door card needs to be put back on along with a new head unit which I have kicking around :) All in all...cheap learner drifter :D Specifications: Bmw E36 328 Sport Full Mtech kit Full cream leather interior lowered spax suspension M3 antiroll bars poly bushes stainless exhaust chizfab lock spacers Welded 318 diff M50 manifold (not fitted) spare rad spare spax shock Got the car back home: Pics from the advert:

Agra update

Not many pictures, but had my friend Dunkz head up to Agra the other day to get his flywheel skimmed...in the mean time he asked about my engine and took some pics :) The time expected for the engine to be back at checkpoint and back in the car is 2 weeks :) Can't wait for it to get there and the car all working again.

Integra on eBay

Well as I said, I have decided to sell my Integra on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1994-HONDA-INTEGRA-ZXI-RED-NOT-Type-R_W0QQitemZ250575721343QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item3a577a137f After a drive today back from work, I think this would be an awesome car. Tyres could do with upgrading while loads of other stuff needed fixed. I wonder...if it doesnt sell on eBay and it doesnt pass MOT, I am going to break it...would break my heart to break such a nice car. The body has no rust...the engine need a rebuild...but everything else is good...as a run around this was a good one. Really do wish the engine was healthier in this however...as you never know I might actually keep it... Some photos for the advert:

News :)

Well spoke to the garage yesterday and understanding is that the engine will be ready in about 2 weeks time. I reckon it will be about 3 weeks time and about 1 week to get the engine in and get the car ready for the road. It still needs MOT and tax before I can drive it away though which will be a problem for later. Right now the cost of the engine rebuild is getting stupid...but least I get her back. After all of this...I am still to learn her name...she still refuses to tell me...
