You may know of my first wagon in the post below.
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6015

I just got back from a 10 hour trip picking up another one.
This one is red. Plans are swap out the a6 rt setup for a b20 crv awd setup. Pics are how I picked up the car. Car was in pretty good shape. Interior was really clean and it had an black oem roof rack which can be hard to come buy. If you want to see the other one that I own check the link below.

HOLY CRAP that was mine. I originally bought it from Colorado, then sold it to a guy in Dallas.
look familiar?



Glad to see someone from this forum has it. Now I know it will be taken care of the right way.

Thats pretty funny. Any known problems with the car? I am working on putting new clutch, flywheel, and such in right now. She will be well taken care of.

He had it on craigslist for 2500 and then went down to 1200. I almost bought it but I hate rust. Still looks like a good buy.

Okiewagon1

yea he came down because of a bad throwout bearing

Did this today took 2hours and $2.

Followed the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) Method

Remove Headliner (please tell me you can atleast do this)
Measure, Mark, and Cut so that DA light falls into place. I cut so close to perfect that the light snapped in and I couldnt get it out.



I then used metal strap (man I love this stuff I always have some in the garage) to hold it into place. I ran 10mm bolt through the strap and into the map light and then ran a nut to pull everything together.



Then I went for the overkill and added one more strap just because.


Next came the wiring.
Two wires come off of the Map Light. One for power and one for ground. You can run the power to any spot you want. I chose a constant power source so the car would not have to be on for the light to work. And it just so happens you can go right to the white wire on your dome light for power (KISS).


Then I found a good ground on the power seat belt bracket.


Then put everything back together and enjoy.

very cool mod!

91_wago

ya but not all da's had those did they? i had a four door da and it didnt have one.

jchen360

damn you should make separate thread for that map light write up and have it stickied. that is so dope haha. And I second this notion from where this light came out of. please share.

prboy1969

Nice work , I guess it's off to the salvage yard to find a DA teggy .

The Dual Map Light came out of a 90-93 Integra. OMG it made a world of difference at night. These should have been installed by honda at the factory.

Okiewagon1

Next up I think I am going to add a dimmer switch I pulled from a crx to the map light. Stay Tuned!

leWolf

Where in the hell did you get that light bar? I have been trying to find one and in the us it's impossible. :?

Okiewagon1

haha yea it took me two years to find this on and I didnt get it from the US either. Can from a member of the armed services in japan. Cost $$$ too.

Okiewagon1

Just added jdm side markers.






And for those who havent seen Crystal's (Okiewagon2) 91 Integra here you go

Eagle Beagle

good job on the markers...

i'll trade ya for stock...

More Progress as of 3/20/2010

Fresh Hood




Custom Made Tophats. Ride quality has been well lets just say bad once I added the ground controls and tokico adjustables so I decided to try and make some tophats.

Started by seperating the top buckets.




Then Welded a 1 3/4 pipe between the buckets


Unfinished Product Compared to Stock. Not a huge difference but I think enough.



Finished

Okiewagon1

I only made the tophats for the rear as the front already rides great. I plan on putting these on tomorrow and I will let you guys know how it turns out. These only took about 2 hours from start to finish to complete and were free!!!
