For the Surfside fo sho.........slanging the brown one........
I'm hoping these will get the wagon to sit pretty!!

 

hey you guys, whats up, im Colin, im the newest member of the squad I guess. This is my daily, its a '90 wago', it currently has a built GSR motor in it, it is member " 1qwikef's " old wagon. I plan on making it quite fast again, not sure how soon though, as I mentioned this is my daily, and my real project is my EK that ive been building the past 12 months or so... I have a feeling the motor in the car isnt 100% though and I may have a new heart for its near future, and if I do change the motor it will be for a K for sure like in my EK. im sure i'll have questions for you guys soon enough. I already know the car needs a steering rack, was gonna ask you guys if you knew which racks I can use...do all manual EF's racks work?

here are some pics by a fellow 4F member, the famous .Kyle...

(and yes I know it needs to be lower, the struts are blown...)

p.s. that's a hot wago.. lovin' those rims! (talking about the green one hehe)

 

Thay color is flippin insane !! It looks awesome !

 

welcome! very sexy wagon, i added you as #33. i'm excited about how the last couple members have been pming me about joining.

 

thanks man, im glad to have joined

thanks for the nice comments too you guys, I appreciate it.

I am actually looking to get new wheels for it, have my eye on a couple sets, one in particular, hopefully I can get em next week.

As for pics of my Ek, i'll have 'em up tomorrow, I am not on my computer right now.

can anyone help me with a couple of my questions though...

-can any manual EF rack work in the wagon? do DA racks work? same goes for the subframe? anyone know?

-are coilovers the same for these as for EF's?

-who has ventshades!??!?!?! what kind? where can I get them! tell me!! lol

I know I have more, I just cant remember them. i'll check in tomorrow. peace fellas

-Colin

 

steering rack is the same for 2wd wagons as ef civic/crx. as for coilovers all ef setups work. if you want it slammed your going to have to use either modified oem tophats or groundcontrol.

 

also forgot to add that the rear subframe on the wagon is designed better then all the other ef's. the design acts like a lower tie-bar. as for vent shades. uber hard to find. most of the guys use themfom the beagle or shuttle (jdm,edm wagon) or you can special order them from honda

 

Vent shades??

 

ya know, window visors.

 

for what car though, i don't think they make them for the wagon...

 

Oh Haha. I was like, Shades for our air vents? Haha.

Yea they do. Just hard to come by.

Oh yea Google caught me in my old DA down tha street from my house. Haha. Sick Huh?

 

can everyone please tell me there suspension setup please
i need to know cause ive blown a 2nd set of shocks
help
and now im lookin for a good setup

 

Ya should'a done a burnout.

 

Suspension components could be the top most popular investmenst for these wagons. Save up some extra money and go with the good stuff....... Skunk2 Pro-S, Koni/GC

 

i agree save up for something proven. woohoo got my w2 today. i love tax season.

 

Im saving to get ground controls

and yea sorry I should have said window visor.... I have heard people try and use some accord version...anyone heard that?

here are some pics of my EK for those who were interested.....

before I took it apart




As it kind of is now in my driveway


The Cage


The new heart for the EK:Destroked K24, 12,500 redline, 12.2:1 compression


I dunno when i'll have it done, school full time, no job, and the way the economy is right now have all slowed me down. I still make progress on the car, but just not as fast as I would like it to be. I have A TON of other parts for it, I just dont wanna take the thread off course. If you guys wanna see more of it, you can check out my build thread, its like 100 some pages long so far. I have changed things over and over but I am now set on what I want. heres a link...

about the visors.. they do sell them.. just have to look for them on ebay n such.. it's kinda rare but they pop up every now and again. and yes i've heard people using visors from the accord.. not sure what type of modification they do though.

 

i was thinking of saving up for some da tokico whites and ground controls
to me thats expensive hahahaaha
and since i got no job its gnna be awhile
and i still owe some money
well after i get an axle and alignment

 

do what i do. open a savings account & put in a little bit at a time. over time the money you do put in there will gain interest. so if it takes you a year or so the interest will add up. just remember not to touch the money til your ready.

colin sticker went out today

 

lol, I know they make oems ones, however they are not still in production. I've seen and heard of people using accord ones, and bending them or something...but nobody seems to know the year or anything...www.hondacivicwagon.com has threads, but they don't pop up for me..."thead die" or some crap..

 

thanks man, thats rad, i'll have a pic up as soon as I get it.

I never knew of that wagon site either, gonna have to check that out, thanks for the link

 

i've registered but never got a confirmation.. hope you have better luck!
