Possibly buying an '88 civic wagon
I am new to hondas but all of my friends are tuners and techs. I love the idea of a sleeper wagon and would like to see it happen. I have an 88 civic wagon lined up, i just need some good ideas; can anybody help me out?

how would you swap a fwd motor into a 4wd vehicle without loosing your 4wd? You can do pretty much anythign to it though..motor swaps, suspension mods, brake upgrades...the sky seems to be the limit with Hondas!

wagons are sick! my buddy had a stock ls motor in his for a long time and let me tell you it surprised more than one person. now he has turned it into a h-c car with fastbrakes and a jdm itr motor. it's going to be a quick car once the damn motor gets sorted out.

my friend has a wagon too with an ls in it. he built it up and was running it with a 75 shot. funny how everyone would laugh so much when he pulled up and then the jaws would drop.

The 88 - 91 ZC engine will bolt right up to the exsisting transaxle and will work with the wiring and ecu if you have a 4wd wagon. If it's just a regular DX 2wd, definitely go B - series.

Re: Possibly buying an '88 civic wagon (HF2ZC)
Well, unfortunately its just a fwd but hey, that doesnt really stop the potential of it; does it Does anybody have any pics or videos or know of any sites with some modded wags? I cant seem to find any. I'm thinking of doing an ls/turbo swap into it. I'm sure it will pull just a little bit harder than the 1.5

theres a few on this website that are modified. one guy has a b16 in his. the wagon has a better front to rear weight ratio than the other cars. I can lose most cars in the turns with mine.
