    this thread is an inspiration to me. I've been looking for a complete wagon and all i keep finding are the $500 ones with blown transmissions and such. Maybe I'll go your route.

    Not at all, there is a write about the install. It took me about 30 mins. It was time well spent. Heres the link (how to install DA seats in a wagon)

    Updates? Lovin the build process. Seeing the lip makes me think twice about selling the 1st gen lip that I had(sellers remorse)
    It's all good though.
  • looks real good...

    The wagon has been put on the back burner for the moment. I just finished my hatch. Hoping to be tuned on Monday with Bisi.

    Bisi is a genious! He tuned my Mazda for me and it ran better than perfect afterwards.
  • bisi is hardcore lol building my A6 on my crx with his stuff 79 bore on eagle sleaves 1.7 crank want it to look stock but want 200hp
  • yea bisi is one of the few tunners I trust my car with
  • I finally found some free time to do some mods today. I found 91 EX civic front brakes at the local pick a part and a rear sway bar from a civic hatchback I believe its a progessive anti rear sway bar. I also upgraded my master cyclinder to a 15/16 and the prop valve to a 90-91 integra 4040 prop valve. I had the fat five GSR's in my garage for about 5 years LOL Here are some pics

    Hey, man! Very nice Wagovan. I have a '92 D16y8 in my current DD, an '88 CRX Si, and I use nothing but 87 octane gas with 10% Ethanol, which is what we have here in Texas. I have NO complaints at all. My car runs great, doesn't detonate, and gets mid-30's MPG. When I use better gas, the only difference I see is my wallet is lighter.

    thanks for the reply... I also see very little difference. With gas price out here in California I will happily full up with 87.
  • Here's a video from last week when I was at bisi's getting my hatch tunned.

  • I was woundering if anyone knows if this cargo cover and mounting brackets are OEM Honda parts? I've seen a few different wago members cargo covers and they all have small differences. I found them at the junk yard in a 91 wagon.
