Hey There (Newb Thread)
Heyo all.
I own a 1985 Civic 4wd wagon. I used to think of it as "reliable, economical, and practical transportation", nothing more, nothing less... Because I never really thought there was much I could get out of it except to drive it till whenever. Ya don't really see 12 valve 4 bangers with 3 barrel carbs around much...
Anywhozer, yeah. I've never found any aftermarket performance parts for it, only stock replacement parts... Anyone have any sources?
My only complaint is that it's got such a small engine bay and so much crap crammed in it... That and fifty million vacuum lines going every which direction, into and out of emissions control boxes and crap... How does anyone work through all that?
She's got a new clutch, timing belt, water pump, just had a major tuneup, and a new ignitor. So she should last me for a while longer.

I doubt anyone makes performance products for an 85 civic wagon. you can make your own custom stuff though like a CAI, custom exhaust and stuff. I dont know if any swaps go in but you do that.
Damn.. That engine swap needs the Acura transaxle... I can't loose my 4wd...
Can't go tearin through poorly guarded contruction sites without it.
