you got it! Showa4wd build thread

whats up gentlemen! ive been wanting to get back into a fourth gen civic for a while since i sold my 88 dx back in november 

but im back now after selling my 94 vx last week and picking this up a few days ago:)
but....missing the drive shaft 
but! it did come with DA integra seats and some jensen flip up touch screen


and some premixed cans of rio red, so ill be painting the hood back to red soon

first things first, took this stupid looking ek wing off

then switched the "spoon" shift knob back to the oem rt4wd one

then off to Ralphs muffler shop and fixed the ridiculous exhaust.
before:

after:

then hit it with some black paint to cover the welds, i believe its a vibrant muffler.

after that i hit up the junk yard and found a 2 wagons! both rt4wd and Both missing the drive shafts!:( but i got an oem wagon lip off one!
i replace this bad ass cold air intake

with a nice stock intake/air box

while i was there i also picked up a heat shield to cover the stock manifold and rear view mirror to replace that stupid wink mirror. then put my old convex Broadway on her


how she sits currently
