1988 Honda Civic Wagon DX
YEAR: 1988
MAKE: Honda
MODEL: Civic Wagon DX
MILES: 102,256
DESCRIPTION: Read below
PRICE: $5,500
PIC: Pictures will be posted at a later date.
Up for sale is my 1988 Honda Civic Wagon DX. This is the FWD model. This is not a WAGOVAN. Wagovans are the base models. I have owned this car since 2009, it has been a great car to own. In my ownership, I have put a total of 4,000 miles on the car ( I bought the car with 98,xxx miles), it is only driven in the summer on nice days, and stored in a heated garage when it’s not driven. Currently the Wagon has 102, 256 original miles on the shell. The exterior is all original, aside from the polyurethane front lip. It does have its dings and dents however the original SINGLE STAGE paint still shines.
I DO NOT need to sell this car, however there is a car that has sparked my interest and as long as that car is not sold then this ad will be up.
The car is originally from Georgia. It was purchased and towed back to MN. It has never seen snow, it has seen rain a total of 8 times. The car is 99.5% rust free. The car was previously an automatic transmission vehicle however it has since been converted to manual, and everything works correctly like it should.
I have done my best to source some of the best parts money can buy. The engine WAS replaced with a 1995 Integra GSR engine (B18C1), mounted in with the assistance of Hasport 62a EF-B mounts. The brain for this car is a chipped P28 by Phearable and smokes in VTEC, possibly because it’s running too rich. The car has an AEM HYBRID V2 Cold Air Intake (designed for the EF-B-series swap), Skunk2 68mm throttle body, Skunk2 Intake manifold, Skunk2 Tuner Stage 1 cams and PEAK Performance Cam gears. I also have the RARE SPFab Toda Replica Header (Spoolin Performance Fab- makes the best TODA header Replica designed after the TODA DC2R header) and an old school Thermal Research and Development CR-X exhaust.
The transmission is a YS1 (1993 Acura Integra GSR) transmission, it does whine however the input shaft bearing will need to be replaced. This does not affect shifting. The clutch has also been replaced with an Exedy Stage 1 clutch. It is perfectly paired up with a Acura Integra Type R flywheel.
The car is currently on Function/Form Type II coilovers. The rear lower control arms have also been replaced with Function7 pieces. The EF chassis is notorious for wheel hop and lack of traction in the front so I have since replaced the front cross member piece to the FULL-RACE Traction Bar, for extra cooling performance. There are 2 tabs welded to be able to mount a DA Integra radiator. All brake fluids will be pushed with a 1inch master cylinder and brake booster from the DC2 Acura Integra. In the pictures you will also see the ULTRA RARE JDM CARBING Front Strut Tower Bar, this is rare piece is NOT for sale nor will it be included with the sale, however it can be for the right price. This is truly a RARE PIECE, I bought it BRAND NEW IN BOX and have only seen 1 other one in the US.
The wheel and tire combo is the 15x7 949Racing 6UL (Gen 3) in the Nickel finish paired with fresh set of 225/45/15 Hankook RS3 tires that has seen 2 Autox events and a few spirted drives.
At an extra cost a BBK conversion can be included. It includes a set of DA Acura Integra spindles (with new bearings packed with RACING Grease and NEW Moog ball joints), a pair of BREMBO blank rotors from the 94-95 Honda Prelude VTEC, re-drilled to 4x100 spec. The calipers are ‘95 ACURA Legend GS dual piston calipers (these calipers are the same as the ACURA NSX Calipers, just without the NSX written on them). EBC Yellow Stuff pads will be included as well.
Once again I am not in a rush to sell this car. Again, I am NOT in a rush to sell this car, nor do I NEED to sell the car. IF that other car sells this ad will be taken down. My asking price is $5,500, there is no option of taking parts off to make my car cheaper. That’s my price, if you don’t like it feel free to hit the back button, however thank you for your interest! If you have questions feel free to contact me or post below. If you are serious, pm me for my number.
And the engine bay. This is an older picture, but I have since made some minor changes and cleaned it up a bit.
