One difference is that the shocks are longer on the wagon.

Ok, here's some specs. I'm just going to point out the differences.

From ground to roof:

2wd: 1360mm
4wd: 1380mm

Front track (width between the center of the front tyres)

2wd: 1450mm
4wd: 1445mm

Ground clearance:

2wd: 150mm
4wd: 160mm

So according to these stats the actual body of the sedan was 10mm taller in 4wd spec (note the 20mm difference between ground to roof, but only 10mm difference in ground clearance). Either that, or the rear sits higher then the front on the 4wd models. (ground clearance measurement was only taken from the front of the car... This seems more likely).

Something else that's interesting is that the complete rear of the car is actually different. There's less trunk space, and a larger hump behind the rear passengers seats.

Your car is the cleanest sedan i've seen.
Do you know of any hatch threads like this that are as good as yours?

Vega does a pretty good build thread:

https://honda-tech.com/forums/appearance-build-threads-122/quest-nisei-level-diffuculty-9-ef9-car-56k-take-asprin-1650560/

I don't keep up with too many hatch threads though.

Your car's sick man, yeah it's off a CD Accord. Takes a bit of modifying, but i think it looks good.

Did you have a bigger resolution of the fisheye pic? I'd love it as my desktop.
