Band Wagon
OK, however i have made some comments here i havent showed my car yet.
so here she is.
a Honda Civic Shuttle (as it's called here in Europe) with a D16A6 engine (originally D16A7, but that one does not function at the moment), everything is stock.
it looks just the way like it came out of the factory gate in Suzuka in 1991.
it used to be my uncle's car for 10 years but he bought a Honda CR-V and give this one to me.
so here are some pics i just shot today:
hope you liked it!
UPDATES (25-05-07)
yesterday she got some new wheels:
now, she really needs to be lowered
the wheels are 15"/7" OZ Racing F1 with Pirelli P5000 Drago 195/45, and they have run max. 1000 miles so far, so i guess they can be considered new.
Too bad they werent mounted with 195/50 or /55, so now im trying to sell them and buy tyres with the correct sizes
please, tell me what you think

Comments
nice to see a fellow Hungarian on this board
Skater Dude: this place is not far from where i live, it used to be a firing range or whatever you call it. you know, for soldiers for practicing. now it's been abandoned for at least 15 years now and only dirt bikes and atv-s use it.
shuttle xer: unfortunately this sand is not like at the beach, could not dig the car that deep
formerly i could not imagine that this honda 4wd viscous system is that good.
next time i make some videos.
check the original posts above, i added some new pics!
I want one of those honda plate holders!
as all of you can see i made up my mind and chose to go with the skunk2 pro-s coilvers, hope they wont fail me.
a big thank you goes to wagodizzle who has been helping me a lot to get all the stuff here! thanks man!
after they are installed im gonna post some more pics
ThatDoodle: youre right, no more sand runs
rage, we can make this work out! the more the merrier, yes?
lolololol...etc.
btw, im yours if you need me. ha... no pun intented.
looks like its time to get a second wagon as your sand runner
shes a beauty!
Hi mejte and komanche
I'm using this wagon forum to show you my other wagon... which you will certainly recognize.
I used to own a similar one in the eighties and sold it when I got married. I have missed that car ever since.
Anyhow, I recently got the chance of buying one for $1,500 CDN which is cheap. It is fully safetied and I take delivery of it in September.
Currently my Lada looks like this...
It has 75,000 kms on it and the exterior needs a little TLC (aka tender loving care).
Anyhow, I recently found a picture of what I would like the car to look like once I'm done.
I've been chatting with a Lada forum in Norway and they tell me the rims were made by British K&N, exclusively for Lada. They were delivered with many Ladas in the second half of the eighties. I have the Norwegian and French Lada clubs looking for a used set of them right now.
Would it be asking too much if you guys could keep an eye open as well?
Thx for your help.

Au contraire... very nice... the lowered look is nice on a longer vehicle.
Ja... sorry about that metje.
