Hi, I'm Randy and I'm a rotorholic.

I've owned 5 FDs in the past, I now have an old scottish car with a 12a conversion.

My 1st FD, 1992 JDM Import, stock twins, side port.

My 2nd FD, 1993 JDM Import, stock twins, side port. 2 way LSD.

My 3rd FD, 1992 JDM Import, TD06sh25g, side port. V-mount, 2 way LSD. I purchased this car directly from Odula. Loved it, wish I never sold it (life got a bit s**t and needed some money)

When life got a bit better I started building this:

My 4th FD.

But again life dealt me a blow, so I had to break it for parts.

Once again, as soon as life got good, I got another FD.

My 5th FD, 1993 JDM Import, T04s, side port. It was a nit of a shed, but I loved it. Made good power and was fun to drive, full titanium exhaust too, sounded awesome!

I can't remember why I sold it though.

Now we have the current car, I really wanted an oldskool rotor. But finding an RX2,3 or 4 in the UK is pretty hard, finding a decent one is almost impossible. I did think to import one from NZ or OZ but then I saw this for sale up in Scotland, I had to have it!

Oh yes, it's supercharged too

I've owned a few other cars to use a daily runners and play toys like an SW20 MR2 Turbo, 180SX with an SR20, Zenki Silvia K's with an SR20. 2 Integra Type R (UK and JDM) VTEC CRX (ex challenge car) WRX STI V2 and probably some others I've forgotten about.

I also have an addiction to bikes (the pedal kind) and snowboarding. Life moved me to Chamonix last November and I left the Hillman in the UK. In May life is moving me again, we're off to B.C so the Hillman will be sold on. After that who knows, maybe another FD or maybe I'll find an oldskool rotor.

Thanks for reading.

Welcome to the forum. There's a vast amount of information on here, but it doesn't look like you need it lol.

I've said it before, but this forum is way easier to navigate and get good answers than Honda forums. I guess the childish type of people aren't as popular in here.

Do you need a full-time car detailer? I need to find out your secret!

All beautiful cars!

Thanks for the welcome :)

Honda forums are good fun to go fishing though, so easy to get a bite.
