  • wow man, your creativity and hard work really pays off, good job sir

    I was gonna actually put mine behind the rear seat area. We shall see how it goes!
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    thanks man! It's always good when someone notices the time and effort out in

    and it will not fit , after the headrests there is the hump that comes down in the headliner towards the back and the back end gets more narrow, you would need to do a lot of trimming and shaping, plus if its In the very back the front speakers will be drowned out by the back ones for your rear passengers and your front ones will down out the back ones for you and your front passenger, being in the middle gives YOU the best sound

    did a bit of maintenance today, I've had an issue with lack of heat since I've been driving it and the past 2 days the temperature has dropped to -20's so I got a new thermostat and gasket

    Instantly the car gets boiling hot to the point of sweating so that's mega awesome!!

    then I rotated my tires for the first time this winter

    776.jpg

    a few months ago I changed the rear shoes and ever since the brakes have been spongy , so while the wheels were off I bled the brakes and only 1 little air bubble came out of the rear and I adjusted the backs, now it stops on a dime and the ebrake only goes up one click lol

    i did a random plate relocate to the lower grill because it was rattling on the bumper, and now I'm more Inlove with the wagon then ever :)

    updates :)

    since I've owned the wagon the bottom row of lights on the climate control unit havnt worked, so today I investigated, I took off all the Center trim and took out my deck, aka left it hanging off the the side and unbolted the climate control unit
    1015.jpg

    Then I took off the face to get to the bulbs
    1016.jpg

    so now knowing the bulb was blown and seeing how tiny they were I grabbed an old climate control unit from an EG civic, smashed that apart and got the 2 bulbs that were in there
    1017.jpg
    1018.jpg

    While I had everything apart I have it all a damn good cleaning

    1019.jpg

    Then I took out the Center vent/clock and gave them a good cleaning too to get rid of 20+ years worth of grime
    1020.jpg

    then the last thing I did was bolt my EF hatch Center consol to the existing Center console because before it was just sat in there all loose and looked like crap, and then have all that a good cleaning too :)

    Well im taking that wooden shift knob idea and gonna use it in my ride! Ha ha lol!
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    yeh i guess i'll let you do that prennroro <
    see what i did there ;)

    i never ever ever take credit for that i tell everyone i bought it off you

    so ive lent my wagon to my mate for about a week because hes doing a ZC tranny swap onto his DOHC ZC, and he needs to find a civic ZC mid shaft because he has the Integra ZC midshaft which doesnt work,

    so nothing to post yet

    Oh i know, I wasnt blaming you, i was just adding to the commentary.
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    ^yeh i know :P

    so i was wrong about the update, i FINALLY found some "local" corner lights, they are about 2 1/2 hours away but i found some and hes going to ship them, they are the 88 style with the 2 screw holes in the side, but its no big deal, then i need to go to the local wrecking yard and go cut some pig tails off an EF hatch or sedan and im golden :D
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    Corner lights on their way!!! :D
  • Awesome build man. Your doing great job keep it up. I love the how you have your own ideas and you don't care what other people think. :encouragement:
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    Appreciate the love man, cookie cutter is not my style, MY style and personality is reflected into my cars, all my friends have said on forums "if you know RoRo personally you would understand his unusual mods" lol , I just try to be different

    Take it as flattery, but do agree they should give credit and reference you. If you feel that strongly about it, just stop posting you uniqueness and innovative ideas. People will just have to see them in person....then prob steal them then!

    With that said, hope you continue to share, as they are all unique and innovative. I will continue to give credit where credit is due! I also will say that executing someone elses idea and customazation is usually harder than it seems, especially without any specific details on parts, construction methods, and materials, etc. So maybe continue to show you future upgrades/designs, just without specific details.

    I take it as flattery but when you get it as much as I do... It gets annoying lol, I don't have a build thread in my wagon on my local forum because there is a few wagon owners on it and 1 has already taken 2 of my ideas :( but I just do something else
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    Got around to changing this today, I'm tired of looking at it!!

    So I went and bought some JDM EF headlights 2 days ago, turned out to be EF9 sir so they wouldn't fit, fortunately they are clean complete with runners and bulbs, so I took the bulbs for my EG6 headlights and I'm trading the headlights to a friend who owns a wagon too
    im trading my headlights + 4wd mud flaps for his roof rack with basket and net cover + his non 4wd mud flaps

    Looking good! Love the steering wheel.
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    Thanks man! It's so perfect in the wagon, just that right lookso my exhaust fell off yesterday on my way to get the roof rack so today I put it back on the hangers482.jpgand then put my Thule fairing on483.jpg
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    so I moved my rack closer to the front so the fairing sits almost against the roof lights, then I went to the local car wash and to my luck the foam brush was leaking so I washed her for free :)

    this is how she shits now (need to put on my rear mud flaps and my rear fog bulb has blown)

  • Wagon is looking sweet man. I saw you picked up the roof rack from Nick haha. I also bought some parts off him before. Where did you get the Thule thing for your roof rack. What are they called?
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    Not sure if a typo but it's Rick lol, yeh got it from him, it's called a fairing, I got it from Ricks friend mike when I bought a roof rack from him for my DA
