Great thread

Yeah man I got em for Christmas, I can't even imagine what I did before I owned them.

I have one more maintenance thing to do before I can start truly saving for suspension and wheels. Going to do the brakes, and probably going to clean the TPS and FITV since I just did that on my buddies car. Stay tuned for this weekend.

Also it rained today, and the rack doesn't leak! Woohoo, so now I can put my headliner back in.

Well my last final is tomorrow, and I'll be done with my first semester of college :D..and to start my summer out right for the wagon I am buying a mint civic lx sedan 1990 to convert everything to power on my car. Pretty excited

i had to laugh at this quote!

bbarbulo

gaaahhhh no don't ruin a mint lx sedan!! i'll trade you a rusty one from canada you can take parts from :p


srsly leave the mint one alone and sell it to me.

monster d

no ruining it would be scraping it after. I am selling it to a buddy, but if you want it you can get it and trade me the rusty one if the windows work.

monster d

Picked this up for power options conversion, then I'm just going to resale it.

I started deasseming the sedan today.



The reason the guy was selling it cheap was because it has electrical issues, and the lights wouldn't turn off. I didn't think it'd be anything major, but I'll just let you see the pictures of the wiring this guy did..well tried to do.











Too add on the **** wiring, the car was gross as hell, but I guess that's what you get for a 22 year old $500 car.

Start the process of taking the power windows, locks, and cruise control out. Hope to get more done tomorrow.

Got a pretty good chunk of stuff done today. We got the dashboard out.



Then we pull the left and right head light harness through the firewall.











Trying to keep all my nuts and bolts in sandwich bags.




Also I'm so glad this shop has a furnace, helped keep some warm and moving.



Now I am at a roadblock on fixing the light harness. I sourced out a good uncut harness local that I can go pull, which is the same dude I got the manual window regulators from. The local junk yard said they had one 1991 Civic, but when I got to the row it said it was in...well turned out it was a 91 crx that had been stripped like an old *****. Needless to say, I wasn't to happy about that waste of a drive and $2, but I did start on the extracting of the power windows and locks.

Well today I got all the power window regulators out and locks. Next is to get the harness out for them, and also to get the power mirrors and cruise control. Hopefully I'll have everything out for my car by Friday. Going to be putting a d15b non vtec in the sedan for a buddy who is buying it...some hit him and totaled his car. So will be swapping the engine from it into the sedan. So more fun, but at least I get my money back and a little more then I expected.









Saw this on a new Maxima at work, and I defiantly want one.



Parked by the Porsche Cayman S today at work, and let me tell you this thing is nice.

Sick wagon! I luckily copped me one too! But I don't think I'm going to keep the RT4WD system...

monster d

Why not?!

Wagovan_AK

I want to do a turbo gsr swap, and I heard that the diffs on the system give out under some power, if I did, I would do a z6 swap, but I want b series in my wagon..

monster d

There is alot of iffy **** on the rear dif. But that one company is pushing 400hp on the stock wagon diff in that Ef hatch. I wanted to do a b-series awd, but I don't have the tools to make a bracket for the crv transmission. I'm waiting to do a small build and push 300hp. But that's later on.

Wagovan_AK

Yea I've looked at that, but my wagon has 266k on it and engine was overhauled so idk about the rear of the system. after this summer I'm planning on getting everything shipped.. I got a cople cosmetics to do, but luckily there is no rust on the thing and plan for stock color.

Wagovan_AK

hey i basically have to replace all the bushings like you did, i found the ones on energy suspension, but where did you order the differential bushings from?

monster d

Yeah I am shooting for the same thing with mine.

I used Part # 99148

This weekend we took the engine out and I finally got all the power option wiring out.

And this is how we break pain the *** axle nuts.



Using the old engine hoist in the shop



And the pos d15b2 is out.



Our wolf came to chill with us today



And all the power options out!!



Well as I was pulling the harness out I saw this previous owner had cut random wires that I had no clue where they where going. So I just sniped the harness and pulled what I need out. Guess I will need to find a good dash harness/headlamp harness so I can get it running for my friend.





Now it's time to make sure I have every ready to get the power option wiring in the swagon.

looks pretty interesting

wagirlvan91

Beautiful find! I just recently found two; a red 91 and gold 88. The 88 is going to be parted out while the 91 is the project. She is not in mint condition but runs amazing. I'll try to post pictures, but I'm new to the forum so give me some time to figure it out!
