*copied from my local car forum*
1990 Honda Civic DX Wagon.
Owned it since July of 2010
Bought it from a Meth Head for $500 (Cool Story, Bro! I know!)
Well Cayla, Why a Wagon?
I was car shopping for something that I could afford to drive 30 miles back and forth to school. So we found this car on craigslist...when it pulled up in the drive way..I thought there is no way in hell I would drive this thing. Daniel encouraged me to test drive it though I had already had my mind set that I was not buying this car. When I first got in the car and looked down the floor boards were an inch thick with dirt and cigarette ashes. I told Daniel I wanted to go by myself because it was going to be my decision as to whether or not I was driving this car. I have always loved ef hatches but thought the wagons were ugly as crap. I drove it 3 blocks from my house and it grew on me quick. I knew there was no way I could let it continually be abused by a dummy. So it took a 4 hours to clean her out. We filled a bucket up with hot water and soap...and cleaned until our hands had cramps.
Here is what it looked like when I first got it
Excuse my dorkiness but I was way excited!!!!!!!
I know, I know..those hubcaps are banging..luls.
Then we started doing things...
Had to replace the wagon seats because of ripping and tearing..So we went with DA Integra Seats until I can find stock seats. (GRR! Auto Seat Belts)
The Party spot...just kittens..meow!
His bad side
His not so bad side
Rocking LS Mesh because those hubcaps were too ballin' for me!
His butt..I only blocked the plate for a forum that wasn't local.
RECENT:
Installed Tokico Blue Struts w/ Skunk 2 Coilovers
Changed out the Ls Meshies and got these unknown? 5 spoke wheels that are 15x7
When we got them they were painted this gold color(yuck)
So we sanded and painted them Oil Rubbed Bronze
I also bought titanium burned Vision Racing Lugs!
And that's how he currently sits!
Installed a header (but I has no pics)
My future plans:
-install my Thermal R&D exhaust that I bought
-multiport swap
-def! gonna do mores low
-eventually a rear disc brake swap (I hate drum brakes)
-hopefully obtain all the exterior pieces I need..and then paint it
-asked for a roof rack for my birthday
I'm not worried about a motor swap right now..I'll keep driving it till the D blows. Going at 193,000 miles and still no issues.

Those are LS meshies correct? They look great on a lowered wagon.
i am digging those wheels.
You wasn't kidding. You are a boy. They don't kid about stuff like that.
Thank you. I am trying to decide if I want to paint them or strip and clear um.

Thats why i bought my toms. Felt like giving back
mine are red tho. Really.. Really red.
I'm sure there's a good booster laying around here, too.
