Brett's pre mid life crises
Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2012 5:40 pm
Its raining as per melbourne weather so i decided why not introduce myself in the most impolite way possible.
firstly lets go through my previous cars.
I was 18 & turbo law's were non exsistent, I was weighing up an s13 or a Prelude.
Autosalon magazine told me i should get this :
Halfway through the ownership of this car i began to read what Charles Kha had to say about "JDM".
needless to say our love affair came to an end in the form of a t-boning, she went to the wreckers for $700.
While driving that prelude and discovering cars without neons and shitty lights i noticed alot of nicely done Eg civics getting around, I managed to put some more money on top of that very generous $700 the wreckers decided to give me and found this in a Used car yard :
It was manual, Blue & 1.3 carby, Not quite the touge monster i had in mind.
But i did as Honda guys do and came up with this:
& one more picture for nostalgia's sake
I owned that car for a while & decided i no longer desired an eg civic.
I brought this SSS:
Quite possibly the ugliest car ever made though its saving graces were the sr20 & the Sr3 recaros.
Then i got reeled back into the Hondas again & found this:
After owning this civic for a while things were starting to get quite serious with the new girlfriend.
I decided "its time i ditch my obsession for cars & buy a daily that i CAN NOT be tempted to modify".
So i found a suzuki wagon r+, It was perfect.
I purchased it from an elderly lady and it drove just swimmingly.
I then discovered Yahoo Auctions & Jesse Streeter...
My girlfriend was not the happiest:
I got tired of driving a deathtrap and lack of power... (1.0 996cc)
Sold the wagon R+ & picked up this:
It was automatic & stock.
I commisioned a shop to perform a manual swap and added a few little bits.
THEN!
My friend Dylan let me drive his NA6.
