To answer your question regarding the British plate... It is from Honda Bob's first race car an early 950cc Mini. Dad always kept this piece of his first car as he raced over the years. In fact this same plate spent a few seasons on an NSU race car. Dad was very nostalgic like that and he cherished his Civic. Over the years there wasn't any Honda Support as they have today and we had to invent and build items to improve the car. He was truly an innovator. Check out this other really cool Boileau project - The Datsun MX520 http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?7592-Project-MX520-TOP-SECRET The Boileau blood runs thick in Honda as my brother Bob just won the first major championship in an S-2000 with his victory at the SCCA National Championship Runoffs in 2009. My nephews, Tommy and Bobby Boileau also race and Tommy became they youngest licensed road course driver in the country at 14 yrs old and he competed in the NASA National Championships at Mid-Ohio in 2008. In 2009 Tommy and Bobby both competed in NASA driving a BMW M3 and a Spec Miata. They have already tested in an Indy Car and some older NASCARS. Watch out for the Boileau boys - - COMING TO A TRACK NEAR YOU SOON!! The new and improved Boileau Racing website is coming soon with our racing history, current schedules, photos, projects and much more. www.BoileauRacing.com Take care and it is truely a pleasure reading your comments about Dad's old Civic.

But I get a little pissed when Honda uses nostalgics for promos. Because, my friends, if you own one they don't give a rat's about your efforts to preserve or restore your car. When their dealers stop making fortunes on replacement parts, the vast majority of these parts get destroyed. Honda needs an Hisoric Preservation Division (I'm available)!
