    Never thought about green. It is dark enough that that might look really nice. Theres a guy around here with like neon green rims on a NEON and it is nasty looking. Whatever you choose I cant wait to see it. Hmmm what is he doing with all that pipe?
  • Bull bar, and for them rims, any color, just powdercoat FTW!

    It will be my rendition of a "bull bar". Im too cheap to pay to get the wheels powder coated (wedding come up in july) so i'm using some engine enamel that is "said" to be tough stuff....i'll put it to the test :) Ordered it last night.

    i know right? Doing things other people have never done on a civic wagon...not very epic at all. Why you mad bro?

    yessir i do. i have adjustable upper arms in the rear. if you scroll back a few pages..by a few i mean find the photos of when i was doing the lift stuff and there are some photos of the adjustable upper arms for the rear. thats about the only way i'd be able to get the camber back in spec.

    Just finished up modifying my header to fit the 4wd....waiting for the bla paint to dry so i can throw it on and go to bed. have to drive to work tomorrow so i'll pull it out again at a later date and clean up all the welds. I'm by no means a professional welder so they're kind of shakey. but it should get the job done, and i wont have a major exhaust leak anymore.

    Looks great! Did you end up getting a full size spare too?

    Yup. Figured it was needed seeing as I plan to go on day or possibly weekend treks, a regular spare just wouldn't cut it with the size tire I have.

    Alright. Got some updates here. I'll start with the inner fender modifications. I had to do a bit of massaging with the air hammer in the front so i would not rub while the suspension was flexing.

    how to get flex in your garage!

    how close can you get?

    Then i got bored waiting for my fiance to get home from a photoshoot and i decided to start modifying my ebay special header i've had for some time now. So I went to town. It went pretty well, i plan on painting it black when i get around to finishing the complete exhaust.

    fits in there pretty solid. Only took me a couple of hours. would have been way easier if i had a lift instead of laying on the garage floor haha.
