EFK9 B16B - The Speedboat

[EE9 CVC]

You'll get it there though, those are all simple problems to correct.

I've changed all the bushes, bearings, bolts, boots and grease on the 260Z so I won't have any problems for years but with the Civic the budget didn't and still doesn't allow me to change all these parts unless needed. So my Civic could do with new bushes all round.

Yeah I'm no rush, the car will not be going anywhere for the next two years, quite literally. Gives me time to save and hoard.

I am hoping to get my Raxles on tomorrow too.

Any fresh pics?

I didn't have time to polish or hoover it today as I'm getting busier the closer I come to going back to Oz. I bought a second hand bike today that needs servicing and taking apart so took up some of my time.

Maybe Sunday, as I'll be fitting the shafts tomorrow, and Saturday I'm off to London for the day.

Nice little spec list. Bet it's fun to drive with the b16b.

When you going back?

[Marc_EE9]

I leave on the 4th.

[Marc_EE9]

I did give them a quick clean, but will do a better job now I'm back home (Melbourne).
