Gr33k we both know your wagon is far from junk ....
I wish Scrappy was in half as good of shape as your Grocery Getter..!
Thanks man, I appreciate it. Should be back together this weekend. Bumper and fender have been off
trying to get the fog light wiring figured out and this rain won't let up. I miss my Wagon! And there are
some plans in store for this coming Wacky Wednesday season!

glad your sticking with your Wacky Wednesday event....
hope you get them lights figured out .... if not i know a guy that would live them .. LoL
It was my 21st birthday on the 5th and I got ARP extended wheel studs from my girlfriend and a
GoPro is coming in the mail soon! Planning on making some killer videos once I get the hang of things.
Also hoping to get my taxes done and bring some money in just to spend on car parts to make this upcoming season of Wacky Wednesday more eventful.
Yay, more updates! I just recently got ARP extended wheel studs from my girlfriend on my 21st birthday. I ordered a Skunk2 weighted shift knob, AEM polished SRI, and Innovative 60A steel mounts.
Overall, the shift knob made the gear changes feel more precise, but I didn't feel the added weight too much because the shifter itself weighs so much already. The AEM intake make the car so much more audible (especially in the higher RPM's) and looks damn good to me. There is better throttle response too, but that might just be me. And the mounts also add sound to the motor. They aren't too bad as far as vibrations are concerned. I have the same noises coming from the interior as before, but the only difference I can feel is that at a stoplight when you put your arm on the door panel to rest it you can feel the vibrations for sure. The motor doesn't move and it feels so much better. I don't know if anyone has noticed, but with stock mounts during accelerating and decelerating you can see the shifter move. Now that does not happen anymore.
I also took the dash vents out and separated the main housing from the air diverter fins and painted the housings black. This looks so much better to me because it breaks up the blue(ness) of the interior.
im still obsessed with those front fogs!.... also clean photos...
Thanks man. I am trying to learn my girlfriends camera. It's a Canon 60D. I have been
thinking about getting a clear vinyl to go over the lenses to protect them from rocks.
It's a great thing to have! The only way to get sound that great is to get an external mic, but be
sure to order the external mic adapter! Without it all you get is wind noise. I found out the hard way...
Nooooo!!! Damn that sucks. I hope you find another one. Man I really liked following this build too hope your ok
I'm alright. My arms and ribs are sore because I broke the seat where it reclines at on the right side when
I hit the wall. I don't think I will be getting another Wagon though. Time to move onto something different.
i know you suffered a lose i feel your pain but are you gonna part it out cause needs some parts if you wanna give me your number i can go over there this weekend
This is horrible. Glad you're doing ok though. And glad you are staying with the EF chassis? Crx? Put those front fogs on a CRX- that would look killer.

I might get rid of them some day and will let you know.
But until then I'm going to rock the shit out of them.
And I got them fixed. One bulb and one fuse were bad, and I had
a local shop re-do the harness because wiring stresses me out.
but i hope it didnt cost you to much and glad there back on shining bright like a diamond...!!!
Next to my girlfriends Fit.
Looks like he has a mustache in this one.
question is did you go play in it and get more pictures
No more pictures because it only lasted a day, but I did some e-brake power slides!

I appreciate it man! And we have been dating for almost eight years, so she is a keeper! haha
And my friend Josh and I just got the front studs done this morning! Woot woot!
And I thought I was the only 1 with light obsessions ...!!!!!!
Gr33k I had the same idea on them vents but mine was to bust up the turd brown .... !!!
Looking great .... Hope to see it @ IA next month ...!
You should do the vent mod man! It makes the interior much more pleasant to look at.
And I don't know if I'm going to IA man. It would be so much money alone in gas. We will have to see.
sure to order the external mic adapter! Without it all you get is wind noise. I found out the hard way...
off topic question... is your mic next to your intake in your GoPro video?
Yep. You need an external mic adapter and the mic. I clipped it right next to the filter.
I'm alright. My arms and ribs are sore because I broke the seat where it reclines at on the right side when
I hit the wall. I don't think I will be getting another Wagon though. Time to move onto something different.
Thanks man. I really appreciate it!
Sure does! I think I might be getting a CRX now though. It was difficult trying to make the Wagon be a DD and racecar at the same time.
