    If I found some springs for the back I'll lower him. Lowering the front is only turning some bolts^^
  • I don't know about the wagons but I do know that 1st gen Integras use the same suspension as the 1st gen CRX's, something might be interchangeable in that mix. Maybe stiffen the rear suspension with some Integra stuff.
  • KroeteKroete Wagonist
    1st gen Integra, 1st gen CRX, 3rd gen Civic...they had all the same suspension I think. But here in Germany it's difficult to get those "old" stuff, because in the '80s there not so much Honda sold here...
    I also go to school and don't work very often, so money is rare to...

    that thing looks pretty sick.
    and a drop would be the ish.
    1st gen integras are everywhere in the junkyard by my house.
  • KroeteKroete Wagonist
    If somebody found some good quality springs for the rear tell me^^
    At the front 2inch deeper is maximum. Germany had no speedlimits, but a strong laws about cars, tuningparts and modifications...

    Here's another idea how to paint the Shutte.

    This style is much cheaper^^
  • SoLeFooDSoLeFooD Band Wagon
    Not the biggest fan of the older wagons but...your's is looking good.

    Done in white, re-done wheels, mild drop, perfection.
  • skinnyskinny Senior Wagonist
    Same here, for some reason this wagon makes me want to get one. These models are carbed right?
  • KroeteKroete Wagonist
    Normaly it has the 1.5 12V-engine with carbuetor if you mean that. There's one JDM-version fired by the 1.5i 12V with ~100hp. It's the Civic Shuttle 55i (that one with the silver-painted bumpers).

    My one will get the 1.5i-engine too :D :twisted:
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert

  • KroeteKroete Wagonist

    i love this wagon as it is... multi colored for some reason is lookin good...
    when you gonna lower it a bit???
  • KroeteKroete Wagonist
    When I lower it I can't drive the Rallye Paris Dakar anymore :mrgreen:

    I just have to look for some springs for the rear...
  • looking good my friend, i had one of these back in the day. didnt do much because of the lack of parts, but in the rear integra torsion axle works wonders, it will widen the track 1.5 inch plus the disk brake's are great!
    the front torsions can be turned down but the proper way is to pull the torsion rods from the tube's and put them back in 1 or 2 teeth lower. doing it this way keeps the spring rate up. by the way integra torsions will not work on civic's as they are too long.

    if you lower the rear keep in mind that the radius rod will push the axle to one side, but its fixable with a simple treaded rod with some nuts, cut about 4 inches out of the radius rod then weld in the threded adjustment rod.

    keep up the good work, third gen civic's have a big place in history for me, i love them! done right they will out handle any wishbone civic!

    haha was about to say the same. Your not gonna get 2 in of a drop out of just the adjustment bolts, i sure wasnt haha. When i had my 3rd gen RT4WD, i had to take out the torsion bar and move it two splines. I dropped the sub frame to make it easier. There was a really cool DIY i found when i did it, I'll try to find it.

    My 3rd gen :] I miss it tho

    i think you should mount the lights on the rack lower and closer to the roof.
  • KroeteKroete Wagonist
    They are only laying on the roof. They are not fixed^^
  • KroeteKroete Wagonist
    Today I found something that makes me thinking... I found a Turbo-kit for the engine I've in my Shuttle :mrgreen: The Turbo-kit will cost ~$280, the small Si-engine I planed to put into my car cost $210... What will bring more fun? A turbo for my carbed 85hp-engine or a 100hp-engine:?:
