Whats up guys ive had my wagon for about a year now and ill get you caught up on things. So i bought my wagon for about $800 from a crack head in Virginia. Its a FWD not a AWD but i still love it. This is how i got it when i bought it from the guy. Both front setas were ripped and he threw a T-shirt over them. The car was primer black and wire showing on all 4 tires. Muffler got ripped off and the eBay coil overs were seized up. He scratched the hood and thought it would be a good idea to use camo duck tape for the hood. It was on there so long it turned blue. She just needed a serious cleaning out and some love.

 

After i got it home i spray bombed it tan for now so it wouldnt look so gross. I also sold my crx and kept the wheels so i put the crx wheels on the wagon and got the coil overs un-seized. I started to peel off the duck tape and just realized that it was was to much effort and work to get it all off. So i found a new hood at a junkyard off of a AWD wagon and it did just fine.

 

I then picked up a set of xxr 002 shortly after and then picked up another pair of rota slips. SO heres a few photos of what it looked like with the wheels.

So everything kinda took a hault when my buddy blew up his b16. we ended up shaving the bay and doing a wire tuck on it. So i ended up spending alot of the next months sanding his bay and painting it.

 

Well after his bay was finished i focused back on the wagon. I started collecting parts for my d16 build. So this is what i have gathered other the past few months.

-Y8 head
-ported
-milled
-Crower stage 2 turbo cams
-Crower valve springs and retainers
-Edlebrock cam gear
-Mugen valve cover
-Stock z6 block(stock bore 75mm)
-Vitara YCP pistons (8:5 i believe)
-Eagle rods stock length
-Using stock crank
-Godspeed turbo kit but have exchanged out some parts.
-Garret 50 trim
-Log style manifold
-Godspeed inter-cooler along with a bigger inter-cooler i bought from my buddy.

So i put everything i had together and took a few pics and this is what it looked like:



I also was able to get my hands on Corbeau steats and a set of Tien coilovers. So i put the coilovers on and she she sits alittle lower now. When i had the xxr 002 i had hit a bump while turned and it ate my fender. Its unsaveable so i just got stickers and threw them on to kinda hide the dents. I also Chalkbarded the hood. My buddy wanted to shoot it i let him take a few pics and this is how it is sitting as of last night.

 

The wagon took a little hault in progress when my rx7 blew the water seal. So i spent some time gathering parts for that... I have alot of parts for that but there's still more i need to do so that is on the back burner and i focused back on the d series again.



So i went ahead and ordered everything else i needed. So i got

-Gates timing belt
-OEM waterpump
-OEM oil pump
-OEM head gasket
-New crank bearings
-Kings Rod bearings

This is how everything looks as of right now. as i am waiting on the crank bearings to arrive.



I picked up another set of wheels last week. XXR 531 Platinum. 15x8, 20 offset. Im not sure how i like them...








Last night i was able to get all the old grease and stuff off and primer the motor and get it ready to be painted.






SO this is where i am at as of now.. Ill take some pictures of everything on the car and better engine building pics when i get home.

 

Wow nice build. GLWB

 

this valve cover is a beauty !!!! keep us updated with that D-series!!!
