Well i bought the car back in 2011 when i got stationed at FT. Lewis WA.. It was bone stock with 130K on the clock and it didnt take me long to start messing with the car. Car has gone from stock to stance and is currently being built as a fun track/autoX car since NOBODY builds civic wagons for circuit i figured i would lol.. I hope everyone enjoys the build, thanks for viewing and commenting










had to find a new driver fender because the car was backed into in a parkinglot
two days before i bought it




Then the dizzy took a **** a few days after i bought the car driving down the freeway

Brian_EE4

got a set of RT steelies for free that some kid ruined with a rattle can...




so i decided to restore the centercaps and throw them on the steelies that the wagon came on..




then noticed this after i aircraft stripped them

sr20paisa

sweet build so far, keep it up

Brian_EE4

bought a ski rack for cheap off a guy at a gas station lol and installed a wink mirror and my illuminated japanese license plate.




went on a trip to Seattle and smacked the transfer case off the ground cracking the casing and needing a new trans




finally got it back together and running but was having issues with the car starting which turned out to be a loose wire on the o2 sensor




then my damn shifter cables started to go out




so i took it to my buddies shop and put new cables in




my custom ordered wheels FINALLY came in with my skunk2 front camber kit and megan rears




got everything on and fenders rolled/pulled but hated the rear camber




so i started pulling out the camber little bit little until i got it to where i liked how it sat




i have a bit of a spoon fetish lol




found some GTS civic wagon headlight covers and couldnt pass them up







this was the last show i went to before i sold the wheels and the car sat for what seemed like forever




the day i sold the wheels

Brian_EE4

so after i sold the wheels the car sat for a few months and nothing happened with it.. i then decided to tinker around with it and build my own seat brackets since there is NOBODY that makes seat brackets for a civic wagon..




i then put the Chargespeed wing on but the car still sat




then i started tinkering around with the K that my GF had bought me for christmas.. bought a karcepts AC/PS delete, alt relocate, with a shaved waterpump from a buddy that went S/C in his RHD K swapped del sol..




just a couple weeks ago i bought a set of Mag Blue TE37, Mag Blue TE37SL, and Mugen NR10's.. i've had the Mugen RNR for a while now and i have a set of Mugen CF48's sitting at my buddies house waiting for me to pick them up in Cali.




i put some yokohama rubber on the TE37SL's and put them on the wagon.. i need to take out some camber in the rear but im waiting on my new camberkit that should be here thursday..




pulled out the shitty single cam last night




these goodies came in the other day

damn that was a fat update

Brian_EE4

lol thats why i put picture heavy in the title haha

sr20paisa

forreals
on the next episode on dragon ball z..........

sr20paisa

say what are you gonna do with that a6 block

sr20paisa

would you sell te block?

Brian_EE4

my buddy is giving me money and putting a rear disc setup on my wagon for the A6 and everything that goes with it, RT trans and all sorry :/

sr20paisa

wouldn't blame him, those trans are just *** rare as the car itself

That RT4WD trans is worth more than the wagon to a lot of people. I wouldn't have traded the 4WD for anything. Definitely worth staying with the D-series IMO.

Do you plan on bringing back the camber?

Brian_EE4

well seeing that i will no longer have a need for it and never use it i might as well sell it to a friend that restores wagons.. last count i made at his shop was 13 wagons that he owned..

but the RT system for the 4th gen wagons wasnt AWD it was 4WD.. the car stays FWD until the wheels slip which activates the viscous coupler turning the rear half of the driveshaft activating the rear differential powering the rear wheels.

sorry it irks me when someone calls RT4WD's AWD and wagons wagovans lol

Freemananana

Edited. That was just my error while typing. I was lazing and hit the A instead of swinging over for the 4 key. I was also just voicing an opinion that I would have changed the build for the RT4WD system.

Anyway, nice wagovan. Just kidding.

What is the most recent photo? The wheel situation is deceiving and I'm wondering where the build is actually at currently as far as cosmetic alterations.

Brian_EE4

i decided to put my lip on but did and took some photos of how i did it.. only thing i didnt take a picture of was the 3M double sided tape i stuck in the middle of the lip so i didnt have any screws showing.





i then drilled holes in each end





and fit some pull caps in that i bought at autozone




finished product from the front





Freemananana that last couple pictures is how it sits currently, im waiting on a **** ton of parts to come in the mail so i can put the K in and take it to English Racing to have it tuned

Those are some nice pop cap things. I'll have to keep that in mind when I find a lip I like.

Brian_EE4

welp something came in the mail today




30th Anniversary Confetti Recaro's




Cant wait to get them mounted in the car!!

graveltravel2

nice!

Brian_EE4

couple packages came in yesterday

Hush Performance Cable to Hydro kit





and my PCI rear Diffuser and Custom ordered Civic Wagon PCI side skirts

sr20paisa

this is one ofthe baddest wagons there is damn

Brian_EE4

thanks man i appreciate it


so put the skirts and diffuser on yesterday, still need to do a little fabrication to get everything mounted to my liking but it looks SICK! Also test fit the Recaro's

Freemananana

iTrader: (3)

Maybe it is the angle, but the camber looks excessive if you plan on autox or anything like that. What kind of racing do you plan on doing? I don't know many people who have aero kits like that.

jonGSR

Looks mean with the new rubber, wing and diffuser. The diffuser just bolts on? What does it mount to?

Brian_EE4

yeah i know, I'm waiting on my hard race pillowball rear camber kit to come in. the camber kit on the car now is fabricated by yours truly to run my last set of wheels.

ehhhh on a wagon its a lot of custom fabrication. i have to make a bracket for it to bolt into the front side and the backside its bolted into the car underneath the bumper cover using the brackets it was supplied with.
