There’s no feeling like the successful first drive in your project car after chasing problems for weeks.

Nice, cool car! And also, did you just changed from your screen name because I SWEAR it just said Car Guy, Twingo Tamer— Further Ruining Rustbuckets for your entertainment!

Congrats!! Must feel amazing. I’m 2 months and counting into my current build, getting very close and starting to feel the hype

Thanks and yeah I did just change it haha. I no longer have any rust buckets to ruin (it was referring to my old E36) so it didn’t fit anymore.

I bought this as a driver but it was rough. Clutch was destroyed, bad intermittent misfire and shitty brakes. This is the first time I’ve drove it with those sorted, took me from last November to get it to this stage.

This is such an neat project. Only on Oppo! My fingers are crossed for you, hopefully there are no teething issues.

Thanks. There’s plenty left to do (suspension overhaul is needed and I have a new exhaust on the way) but at least I can use it regularly. I need to get the photos together I snapped when doing various jobs and make a little project update for oppo.

Yeah. As for me who just changed his name, it’s for the long standing tradition of being called “the CarBro” by my friends because anything car related they needed to know I could help them with, so I just lumped it in with my screen name “Hondoyota” then poof. That, and the fact that I almost never drive the CR-V anymore due to my dad using it more and more often. Also, my friend we call the Great Gupta because reasons calls me that out loud and contact-named me it. I need a first car already lol.

I was “carless car guy” on here for years because I hadn’t yet bought my first car. Damn I’ve been on oppo a long time...
