I will never sell this car, and keep it up man. You'll find one some day.

The car rides so much better with the upper dif mounts and the Energy Suspension RTA bushings. BUT now I have a new problem...my blower motor is not working. So i'll be fixing that tomorrow hopefully.

Great build. Hope you used grade 8 bolts with your suspension. Pretty sure you need an alignment after changing those bushings. Any wheel/tire changes ahead?

Today I was starting to check the voltage of the blower motor, and as I stuck the volt meter rod into the plug the damn thing kicked on. So I guess my problem is fixed for now.

Next issue is my car has been smoking a little. I went to investigate what could be the issue, and I found oil in my spark plug tubes. So after work I'll pick up some tube seals. I also need a distributor O-ring, because mine is shot. Sorry no wagon **** today...was in a hurry because I have some Calculus homework.

After all was said and done, a couple of friends and I drove to the skate park in Nashville. When I parked I looked down and saw I finally hit 150k

But now my car is starting to sputter on acceleration sometimes..so probably going to have to replace the rotor and cap. Then after that I can hopefully save for my suspension and wheels. Also I snagged a job at a local body shop! Pretty excited about that, so maybe paint job later on down the rode.

Ah, yes, the spark plug tube seals. Honda's little reminder to spend quality time with your car.

Congrats on the job!

Well I have been saving money for my suspesion set up and wheels so that is why I haven't been updating this. But I have had an issue with my car. On the interstate my roof broke, it shinks in now. So i am going to fix that, and install my oem roof rack while the liner is off.

This is where I park at school, so no dumb *** college kids hit me car and drive away lol..

I keep looking for an AWD wagon, but finding one in Florida is nearly impossible. All I have found so far is the white OG wagovan wheels.

Nice wagovan!

Roof rack came in, and I finally got it in! So excited....

I used a piece of string to try and align the front good.
