Re: 450hp Civic Wagon sleeper
very nice build. i really have grown to like wagons. my buddy trev brought his wagon to IA last year, u might have seen it. it was a grey wagon with a matching wagon wit the frontend cut off n he turned it into a camper with a grill on the back. him and his wife Ann slept in it the whole weekend. lol

Re: 450hp Civic Wagon sleeper
your boys got a sweet prelude. lol He said he barely fit em in the back of it. haha
Anyways, I got the cams put in today and I should have the bottom end all sealed up tomorrow. Had to buy bolts for my oil pump and rear main seal. Oh, and I got the car pulled in the shop today. I'll take some pics of everything tomorrow. :D

Re: 450hp Civic Wagon sleeper
hah, sold em. I had the passenger side seat put in with some ghetto brackets I made, and then ended up just putting in my stock passenger seat in. Sold em for more though. lol Yea, preludes arent my thing either. You have to make a lot more power to make them as quick as a light civic.

Re: 450hp Civic Wagon sleeper
thanks!
So I got the bottom end all sealed up today. And I'm getting a flywheel in about an hour, so tomorrow I should have the timing belt, water pump, and valvecover all on hopefully. I really need to clean my tranny. Its super dirty. lol

Re: 450hp Civic Wagon sleeper
well its kinda hard to run it at the track when the motor isnt in it lol. If you meant when I had the stock b16 in it then no, but it pulled awesome for a b16 stock.
Ok, so I got the tranny cleaned up today. It was so dirty, I forgot to take a pic of it when I first started, but I took a pick of the back of it. Thats how dirty the whole thing was. Also took pics of the traction bar kit I welded up. I just need to weld on some tabs for the radiator now when I get the motor in and get it on the lift. Got the flywheel resurfaced and then found out that I didnt have the right trowout bearing spring, so I went to brentwood acura to pick that up. Also some other random pics from the shop. lol
Oh, and I took a closer look at the rivets on the headgasket and they all clear the mating surface, so I think it should be good. I guess I'll find out when I start it up and stuff.
I polished the crap out of it after this step, but forgot to take a pic when I was done. Next time I take pictures I'll probably have the tranny on the motor. It looks super fresh though.
no 1 rivet
no 2 rivet
no 3 rivet
no 4 rivet
engine almost done! getting the valve cover sandblasted monday.
engine bay
