Now I'm 34, worked for Mitsubishi dealers 18 years, finished up as a Master Technician and my family had alot of early Honda's as I was growin' up. My Sis had a 1g Civic then a 2g CRX, my Mom had a 1g Prelude and my Dad had a 2g Civic 1500s and then a 3g Civic GT

I loved the 3g as a kid and now with our business getting well known for maintaining and tuning Honda's in the area my choice for a comuting companion was pretty much made for me. It had to be Retro and it had to be Honda.
My girlfriend Livy treated me to a Lil' 3g DX from eBay, an unfinished project for someone with alot of welding already done but still not quite complete. But for £100 ($200) a steal over here, I became the very proud owner of some "Sexy Back" 3g goodness.

Now all intensions were keep it standard and cheap to run so what I save I could spend on my son, my girlfriend, house and other cars. BUT no way was Tom gonna let that happen, not that I took much persuading. I'm a total sucker for digging about on Japanese sites for info and parts for cars and talkin' to Tom about the JDM Si's he said he was sure we could get a D16 to be more economical than the EV2 1300 and more powerful than a B-Series swap with very little work.
Now my mind had been tickin' over since I had seen a 1g Teg on eBay go for £50 complete

So build list is lookin' like this so far:
1g Teg Brown Top and gearbox transplant
1g Teg lower arms, roll bar and brakes up front
1g Teg rear end including brakes and axle
1g Teg new handbrake cables
Japspeed D-series tubular manifold
Bike carbs on custom intake mount
FACET Red Top fuel pump and fuel regulator
14" Teg rims in powdercoat black with fronts wrapped in Toyo R888's
