    This is going really well. The engine bay looks amazing. Virtual high five on the fabrication, especially because nothing fits the wagon!

    Thanks bro I really appriciated it... Watched your video and mannnn! that whine sounds so sweet. This coming saturday if everything works out would be the first attempt to starting my wagon after a year+ of down time. I really can't wait to hear 1st successful start up, that JRSC whine after a couple revs and just straight out driving to the gas station for my 1st fill up and walking to my wagon after paying the cashier just staring and smiling with happyness.

    I've always loved the company Spoon Sports and all I'm trying to do is mimic spoon with my idea's and little touches here and there. I think i've achived/executed my goal but i aint done yet that's for sure... As far as my steering wheel collection MmmmmmmmNO hahaha lol honestly for right now i'm into collecting hard to find Honda Access steering wheels and i don't see my self letting any of them go expect one of my four spoke steering wheels cause its in really bad condition. I'm still trying to source a local company that can re-wrap it with OEM quality in mind. Here's a teaser plus one to my collection >>

    This is how it's going to look mounted. Don't mind my dusty cabin, i still haven't installed my lower center console with my gathers tape deck/honda car phone combo and getting rid of my cup holder you see there.

    Just picked up a pretty damm clean Honda of America leather shift knob from a thailand EF chassis enthusiast.

    LHT manifold return line fill Tee installed at the highest point of the system as per instructions.

    Radiator coolant line tuck to OEM coolant tank for that custom look/OEM++ feel. Gonna use some sticky backs so i can hide the zip ties.

    Well right now my main concern is 1st turn key/start this Saturday and if everything goes right I'm going to concentrate on my audio situation. Gonna install my Gathers tape deck/Honda car phone/lower center console combo. Been thinking about it and I'm just going to install a bluetooth module within the handset and be done with it just so it works in a sense. I do have the complete harness for the Honda car phone tho... Was planning on swaping out the Honda car phone with my Gather CD/7-band EQ deck when not at shows or when ever i feel like it. I like to have options as you can see from my collection of parts and accessories...

    When I pick up a gopro i'll for sure take a vid driving around town. Drove my wagon today and man.... no power steering and getting use to my clutch feel again is a must! If I was in traffic my left leg would get a thorough work out like a mothaf___a!

    I am in need of a map sensor adapter so i can read pressure/vac off the manifold post supercharger and start tuning. LHT performance is currently 0 bin of there signature map sensor adapter at the moment. Still searching for another company who supplies this part.

    On a side note I love the color my exhaust manifold!

    It's about time for that footwork upgrade. DC2 calipers, 4x100 11" rotors and blue lugs all .

    Now I'm just waiting on my CD1 Racing RDC kit, rotor shims for rotor to caliper fitment and order of Yokohama s.drive 195/50/15 tires.

    Nice, one thing I'm planning on doing before I put the rear brake upgrade from Lowflyin' on is to do a stop test and see if I record any different stopping distance. I know those there will probably just lock things up even quicker but it would be interesting to see if they can cut down on the distance. Just gotta find a time that I can make some noise on a straight stretch without getting the cops called on me.
  • PrennroPrennro Council Member
    This is pretty, oh so pretty. Those blue calipers behind those black wheels are gonna pop! Can't wait to see the mounted results.
  • usdm420usdm420 Band Wagon
    Damn, nice additions!

    This is going to look great!

    The RDC kit would definitely improve stopping distance and would be interested to see your findings. An open road or a deserted industrial area for sure would work fine as testing grounds. Hopefully you got some friends with free time to help you record this test.

    Yeah I can imagine it already myself plus if I remember right there was a couple members I believe on the east coast with this similar set-up. These wheels are so light I couldn’t believe it but on the other hand I’ve never owned light weight wheels anyway.

    Got some of my inspirations from Type One’s EF9 which was featured on Best Motoring International - Roarin Vtec, The Battles a@10,000rpm DVD. I for sure aint done with the suspension as a refresh will be coming in the future of the build. I just don’t know when yet…maybe in 1.5yrs be it that my current suspension set up is still feels fresh the last time I drove her bound/rebound wise I feel.

    195/50/15 Yokohama s.drive’s installed…

    Looks awesome! I do love how light weight those are, even beating the RPF1 by at least a pound I think for the same size.

    At 8.5lbs each without tires these wheels are definitely a choice to cut mass weight... Big difference between my BBS RT's vs sw388's like night and day!

    Picked up some brand new air filters.

    Finally sourced a MAP sensor adapter from Motorvations Motorsports.

    Nice recaros!

    Nice recaros!
    Thanks I've been searching for these Recaro LX's ever since i seen them in an EF about a year ago. Here's the picture that started it all. There is a video of this sedan from thailand/malaysia on youtube. If you look closely the rear seat covers are the same material as the front recaro's... ?..!..?..! and he got a full roof sliding rag top which is f__ckin sick! He be "pullin up to the scene with the roof missing" - 2chainz voice "im different" lol... >>

    So awesome! can't wait to see the numbers and a vid of this beast! Those are the baddest seats I've seen as well. As do you, I Love the oem look.

    Jim from motorvations is the one who did my tuning. Great guy and has some cool custom stuff as they relate to us jackson users.
  • t9wagont9wagon New Wagonist
    In for some numbers! Badass man
  • Oh man finally! Can't wait for numbers. I was also looking at the visors...lemme know what you think since you have some in hand. I thought from the pics that the black might be too dark.
  • VladiVladi Senior Wagonist
    Those recaro's look perfect in the wagon, they were sold a lot in Opel Manta's (Pretty sure you dont have them in the USA, worth googling imo!) in the 70's and 80's, some even with funky rainbow-stripes.
    Purple wagon visors will look cool on your wagon too.

    But first, videos!
