Hello everyone. :) First post here. Might as well make it a good one.

Vehicle: 1977 Clubman - "Sunshine" model
Engine: JDM B18C5 (That should get your attention) :D
Modifications: Omg, where do I start? :roll:
Watsons Engine conversion Kit, changed to 100mm PCD. 2.25" custom exhaust with supposedly 'High-flow' cat-converter, reasonably unrestrictive muffler & Type-R Headers covered in Heat-wrap, Leather reclining bucket seats, Spax Coilovers at the back, Twin-tank setup, Miglia Extra-Wide arches, dodgy huge front air-dam, custom dash (Still needs re-doing as at Sept 2011), EMS 8860 ECU, Custom front-mount Rad from PWR (Needs another one on the header side for more cooling), Stereo, Single-can fridges built into each custom door arm-rest, single 6L fridge built into the passenger footwell, Kill switch No1, Kill switch No2, Club Lock, Car alarm1, 2nd battery, Car Alarm2, Baseball bat etc etc

Engineer: 'Wereabout Engineering' for the seats, & for the rest, 'sa secret, 'cos he's retired, moved south & won't do this sort of stuff anymore unless he tolerates you. That's right eh Ugly?
Rims: 13 by 5.5' (BIG offset - What's the opposite of deep-dish?)
Brakes: 10" Discs @ front, standard Drums @ rear
HP: Dunno, about 200 I guess - Dynoed at 160Hp without VTEC being connected at the time
Complete (date or %): Registered & legal. :lol: I wonder if any of you will notice this edit...
Future Plans: Air-con & finally get the dash sorted out. About to be taken off the road in early Oct for fuel tank mods, steering column fix & to check everything else that I have IDed in my real-world onroad testing since I got it registered. Still can't find the engine-bay rattle between 85 & 90km/Hr though!!! :x I better get a custom numberplate soon too, since they are cheaper up here.
Pics: Sorry - Useless on these computer thingys. It's red, with silver "Tow-balls" that are swinging 4cm off the ground... Trust me, if you see it, you'll know it's a heavily modded car. :D
