I PMd him after he replied to my wanted ad. After we agreed the price he gave me his mobile number and I rang him to get directions to his house and to agree a collection time.

Oh dear! He seemed like a really nice genuine bloke to me. And by the size of his garage it seemed he wasn't really in a position where he needed to steal.

Ah right, thought it might be something like that. He didn't come across as the type of person who would deliberately deceive someone at all. Anyway, paid for my 'other' purchase tonight, should receive it by the weekend/beginning of next week!

What do you want to know?!
I'm keeping my B16 build on 10" wheels. I did have a LSD gearbox, but don't anymore (Eddie), and Megasquirt has traction control and launch control, so I was thinking that wheels slipping wouldn't be a problem. I am/was thinking about getting either Watsons or Quaife's FD (Watsons is 3.47, and Quaife's is 3.7 I believe), but I believe they only work with the hydro boxes (the B16a1 Honda engine only comes with cable box), so that might be a problem.
I did contemplate finding a Vtec-E engine, or at least the gearbox (most gearboxes are interchangable on Ds), since the gearbox on the Vtec-E has a 3.1 FD, and after comparing the gearing of my SC/CR JKD gearbox on my other mini (on 10" wheels), with the stock gearing of the Honda box, on the standard Honda wheels (15"), and then using the Honda gearset with 10" wheels, it would take a 3.1 FD to get the speeds @ x rpm back to what they should be in the Honda. It would also give me a theoretical top speed of something like 180mph!
Oh yea, am currently waiting for a couple of things to arrive today, its all very exciting!!

Yea, they've arrived, and they look sweeter and weigh less than I could have ever imagined!! Am so happy right now! 
Am just trying to send a couple of rubbish pics I took on myu phone, to my email address, to then host them and put up on here.
And here they are....
Fluke Motorsport carbon seats!
Sorry for the rubbish pics, had to get them in a hurry as I was loading them into my car at work, will get some better pics, hopefully of roughly where they'll be fixed in the Clubby later tonight!
