Half Inched

Are they stolen to melt down? Lifted to order by a Mr Big who likes to see them lined up at a secret location? What am I talking about? Henry Moore bronzes or HONDA INTEGRA DC5 TYPE R 6 SPEED GEARKNOBS! Yes, the one thing that seems to go walk-about between our Japanese friend part-exchanging and the car arriving this side or at an auction are the beautifully made 6 speed aluminium gearknobs. So, if you ever know of one available or someone who can supply them at a sensible price I'm yer man!

JDM Honda Integra Undersealed For British Weather!

One of the points to bear in mind when bringing any car over from Japan or the Pacific Rim is that these cars are not undersealed. So, this is essential conditioning for the Britsh Winter with the roads covered in salt. Sorry to say that your lovely imported car may have an underside as clean as the exterior when it arrives, even with a liberal coat of Waxoil, it won't be quite as clean after six months. But at least it won't go rusty!
