Default Noob... thought i'd finally say hi and introduce my EK9

Been floating around the forums for over a yr now, but never posted... lol. So thought it was time i introduced myself...

Anyway, i'm from Melbourne, Australia... home of the Commonwealth Games (haha, half of u prob didn't even know it was on now) and luckily got me a 98 Civic Type R. Yeah, they're just as rare down here as they are over there... we have tough import laws here.

Besides the standard CTR parts, it's pretty stock besides a cf bonnet, exhaust and intake.

Well that's it for now, as soon as i locate a decnt pic i'll post it up. Until then, feel free to ask me anything ya wish

Vinh

Hah I did know the games were on, but I am a from bris-vegas so

How did you get around the 15year import rule? Importing a '98 cant have been easy!

Also, have you have the hood engineered? I didnt think the CF bonnets were legal.

Haha... yeah, good old games have taken over Melb

Nah, didn't get around 15yr rule... 15yr rules only applies to cars before 1991! My car was in the country already, i was just lucky enough to be looking for an EK4/EM1 when this beauty popped up... and the rest is history

Nah, the bonnet isn't engineered... half cf, half fibreglass. Laws are iffy here in Vic, no one's 100% sure... but seems like full cf is illegal but fibreglass/cf is legal. But in the end it comes down to the cop who pulls u over... if they don't like u, they get u for anything
