Congratulations mate!
I saw a pic on here ages ago of a ek9 as a wedding car.
 
Taken from the last thread, my plan for 2015 was:

Stay on course for a 1st at uni - Yup
Do another summer placement - Done. Although I left the company I was sponsored by and worked for Jaguar Land Rover to follow what my interests are rather than the money which I'm glad I did. Had one of the best summers of my life.
Get the arches sorted on the civic - Don't be silly. Was about to break the car then my mates bought me a B16 conversion for my birthday to peer pressure me into keeping it, so fitted that instead and keeping the car for the foreseeable future. My mates are awesome.
Enjoy myself, spent too much time in 2014 worrying about work/uni/money - Kinda haha. Enjoyed myself but still worried about the other 3.
Go on a proper holiday - Went to Berlin with the family for 5 days, was ace!

2015 was a really good year for me :)

My plans for 2016:

Get a 1st in my degree
Move away from home permanently for the first time in my life, going down to the Midlands to work for JLR as they've offered me a job which I've accepted
Do more fun stuff with my friends, say it every year but it's my last summer of being free without a full time job so want to take full advantage
Get the niggles on the civic sorted and do track days with the guys

Think that,s it!
 
2016

Enjoy driving the 9 in some nice weather........come on Spring!

Get back on it with the bike trackdays.....did too few in '15
Finish new garage/ balconey project..

2015 went surprisingly to plan...which was nice

2016
Compete in vtec challenge and get somewhere near Rob Birkinshaw..at least on the same lap as him by the chequered :)

Compete in Time Attack and beat last years times

Make it to at least 1 HOT track day, hopefully croft.

Holidays booked : Mexico and Ibiza(yes that's right Ibiza....in October so will probably be shut ha ha)

Try to be less of a dick

Try not to get annoyed when I'm still being a dick

Stay married (and hopes he doesn't realise I'm a dick ):dance::dance:
 
2015- left my long term job (15 years) along with a colleague and started our own body shop business,
Took on a large workshop and bought a lot of equipment.

Worked hard to build up a good reputation,
Spent spare time with the girlfriend, and spare spare time working on the ek9 (not much)

2016- continue to develop the business,
maybe squeeze in a holiday,
Finish the ek9 and use it on track,

Some how try to get a mortgage (self employed and mortgage don't go together well)
 
2016

Learn to tune on hondata, preferably other platforms and makes/models also.
Do the ek9 some justice on track by learning to drive abit closer to the cars limits.
Prepare for a possible(hopeful) season of time attack in 2017.
Visit the ring again and get that sub 8 I missed last year.
More shows/meets/trackdays with ek9ers.
Earn more money than I did last year.
 
Plans for 2016

1. Get rid of the m3 and the bills with that
2. Use the money from that to pay off stupid bills I got for being a twat
3. Paint the integra and get it on the road for summer
4. Get back to enjoying life and not worrying about money 24/7
 
2016:

1). Try and get at least one track day in my EP before I leave the country for 9 months with the forces
2). Save a shed load of money whilst out the country to spend on the car when I get home. :))
3). Make a decision on whether I should boost the EP or swap it for another DC2 possibly EK9. :naughty:
4). Try and find a unit/storage place for my car.
5). Enjoy the time I actually have off work and make the most of it.
6). Possibly buy a cheap drift car with a mate and learn how to do a skid properly. :naughtyx:
