The Monsters RT4WD Civic
Well I have had a couple of "build threads" but they never really took of because I would end up selling them. Now I am on my 15 and finally car. The one and only RT4WD Civic Wagon. After searching for a couple years I finally found one in mint condition and only 4 1/2 hours away.
Here she is
She is in mint condition with one quarter size bubble of rust and like a handful of dings. Also has 147k on original motor. With this being my last car for awhile I want to start a build thread...a slow one at that...but I will be doing work to it and have some plans for it :bigok:

Passenger side Trailing arm bushing #1
Passenger side Trailing arm bushing #2
My dog always goes to town smelling my mud flaps.
What is this? I am able to move it around freely
And this is the mount for the rear differential
As you can see I can move it around freely? I'm pretty sure it is called a vibration dampener or something like that.

Re: The Monsters RT4WD Civic
Well I did half the work today, I got the trailing arm bushing out, and replaced with the new ones. Ran into some issues, but nothing to bad. Also my resonator came in! So the exhaust we be right after I get done with the upper differential bushings.
Everything went good untill this happened...
Also I noticed that one of the dog bones was slightly bent..is this ANYTHING to be worried about? *One of the right obviously*
Hopefully I will finish tomorrow...and hopefully I will fix the strut problem..

Re: The Monsters RT4WD Civic
I always have hard-ons with this wagon (no-homo just sweating your girl)...been hunting them down for a while now.
Maybe in time with patience I will have one. Dont ever sell her because this car will be a vintage model. And you got the all-wheel drive haha nice!!!

Re: The Monsters RT4WD Civic
Went to the junk yard today and got a new dog bone. I didn't get to finish the job today though. I did get the upper dif mounts drilled out though, and I picked up a factory radio with a casette player in it so I can listen to my phone. Will defiantly finish tomorrow.

Re: The Monsters RT4WD Civic
When I went to the junk yard yesterday to get a new dog bone, I asked the lady if I could bring my torch to get it out. Well she said no and here was my solution.
My next problem was the bolt broke in the strut nut , and my solution to that was to cut the damn nut off.
Then I had to wait till the AM to go to home depo to get some new hardware, but now everything is in. Didn't get picture of the upper differential mounts after I drilled them, but I drove it to the exhaust shop and damn can I tell the difference.
And now she is on all fours again
