    Is there a lamp or fixture better 'hardened' against the elements? Seems like there ought to be something that wouldn't blow out so often.
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    the 2 wires that go into the lamp its self are in a quite open grommet and ive siliconed it up but it keeps letting moisture in for some stupid reason, it never happened with the one on my Integra, im going to just go buy a new one from the local auto store

    You might try something designed for a boat trailer application as they are designed to be submerged and should be sealed.
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    Good idea I'll look into that

    got my corners in today, and the passenger side pigtails came with it too

    and some wiper arm wings to keep pressure down on the wiper arms while driving

    So may aswell finally do an update!

    first thing is and I apologize to all wagon owners for this one so sorry in advance,

    Last week I did the FIRST oil change/filter since I started driving it....back in AUGUST
    yeh...that's 6 months of daily driving and about 40,000 miles, it doesn't burn oil but god was it ever black

    489.jpg

    the next thing on my list was to put a power steering pump back on, all the lines etc are all there just not a bracket or pump , luckily my brothers EG civic had the crank pully / pump and bracket on his non power steering car

    490.jpg

    Installed, now the pump is from an eg so the EF line isn't correct to bolt on so I have to change the line from the rack

    491.jpg

    My glass fog light lenses are all cracked up so my temporary hold so they don't fall out, not for just some stupid look

    492.jpg
    493.jpg

    and my new corner lights :D

    494.jpg

    and my test fitted wheels, 16x9 +20, 195 / 50 / 16 , they fit PERFECT and I love the height

    495.jpg

    497.jpg
    498.jpg

    a spare valve cover I started to strip, will paint it white to match the car

    499.jpg

    and a set of clean bumper lights came in the mail today

    Wheels look good! Im surprised such a wide and low offset wheel can fit under there with minimal camber.

    Are you running adjustable camber arms or was it not needed? Just a bit of guard work I assuming?
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    these wheels were bought for the wagon, are now going on my EG once the builds done mid summer, but for now they are actually going on my integra lol i just test fitted them out of pure boredom !

    i dont have any camber arms on the wagon what so ever, they fit on here so perfect
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    so today I decided to do a little DIY mod, I bought an EG hatch parts car and it had a grey arm rest! Winning

    I know :( it's honestly depressing me I NEVER EVER EVER let any of my cars get far from spec free, but my brother sold his car without buying a new one and for 6 weeks we had to use it as the work vehicle for construction, I just lost all hope so I'm waiting until winter is over, I used to detail cars for 3 years so come spring it will be FLAWLESS ;)
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    got these awesome things in their way from r8edm in New ZealandOEM fender markers and rear amber corners675.jpg676.jpg
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    just purchased more awesome EDM parts!

    i cant believe no body picked up those bumper fog lights + switch that were forsale, so i went ahead and bought them :D

    so now i have tons of awesome parts ive always wanted, next on my list are ZC head lights and clear corners though

    and im really leaning towards painting my wagon blue/grey like a beagle , its so clean looking
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    Little update! I took off my snow plow yesterday, I have a spare 92-93 integra lip I'm going to mold onto the bottom of the OEM si lip, and I took my nardi wheel out today ad put my stock wheel back on, the nardi is so grimey, and too small with no power steering to turn
    Now I'm just waiting to pull my integra out and as soon as that's good to go the wagon gets an over haul!

    sooooo update time :D im still just stock piling parts and "saving" money to re paint the wagon + gsr swap (have waiting to go in) and waiting on my damn integra to be fixed so i can take the wagon off the road to do all this work.....

    finally got my rear fog set up from gizmo ! (thanks again mate A+ seller)

    EDM duel fog light kit + switch, EDM amber tail lights , EDM fender markers, all with pig tails / bulbs for the wagon

    507.jpg

    and then i bought this welder for my auto body work

    And my Hobart welder , owned tank not rented , full spool and tank, gloves and auto dimming helmet

    508.jpg

    and i sold the white wheels i just got poweder coated to my mate for $400 and on sunday im picking up some Enkie rs wheels, they need to be restored, but thats what i do for a living

    not my pic but one offline

    509.jpg

    so im going to color match the face's to the bottom half of the beagle (the grey) when i paint it

    my inspiration

  • PrennroPrennro Council Member
    Envious of ur welder. Wish i had one. The gsr swap is a fun one. Im shoulder deep in mine, but taking lots of notes to go along with the various how tos online. Hopefully, things work with no codes when i eventually turn the key.

    Anyway, good luck and like the way your going with it!
  • r8edmr8edm Wagonist
    Want the colour codes from my beagle?
    Wheels are so nice, Enkei RS's in my top5 favourite wheels!
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    thanks prennro ! good luck on your key turn lol

    i have a Ys1 trans from my DA, already have the EF/B series mounts, my wagon has DA front hubs/brakes so im guessing all i need is the DA axles, i have the shift linkage already and my wagon is OBD1 converted so it should be a pretty straight forward swap

    And yes please R8EDM!!! atleast i know the codes will be on this page and wont loose them


    also this ....

    Bisi comment back to me on Instagram
