Default G'day

Hello, very new here, based in New Zealand and just bought a 96 US Accord Wagon.
It's my 3rd Honda, the first was an EF9 Civic SiR, followed by an INX Prelude xx, so I'm sort of going backwards really.
Would have loved an SiR Wagon, lots of them around here, but was a little out of my budget.

I've been around car forums since the days of Purehonda, which I used to mod. I've also been a mod at automotiveforums since 2001, and a I also mod on a photography forum.
I've been working on cars for even longer, and worked part time for a number of years for the NZ Lotus agent, so I have worked on a wide variety of cars.

Hoping to learn a bit more about my car, and share what knowledge I do have.

Hey, if you REALLY want to impress us, send an Elise my way. I'd be more than happy to test it out & write a report for the rest of the board...

Ironicly all the new Lotus sold in NZ come out of Lotus Australia
How about you send me the new Europa and I'll send back a Series 1 Elise with an K20 swap

I'm growing to like it, but discovered today that it pays not to park it facing down a steep hill with a nearly empty fuel tank.

What have you done to yours?
