    So nice. Is this with the f/r camber kits? Your ridiculously low my friend. GOOD JOB!!


    Nah I havent ran a camber kit since like 2002 when I was Fast N Furious.

    Not much natural camber at all in front and a decent amount in the rear, but I am running the 15x5.5'' OEM wheels with the mega high offset. I don't know how much that effects it.


    So are you as low as i was at the last meet?!

    Stupid bottlecaps are back on the wagon till next paycheck.. So i sit like... 3/4 of an inch higher than that.

    Im pretty low but am not scraping as much as you were that day thats for sure.... I don't have mudflaps though.

    When it was that height did you measure bottom of door handle to ground ?

    I need to do something new with my exhaust it is the main thing that scrapes.


    I thought you were gonna pick up the XXRs? Or were the tires bad?

    If no nightmare scenarios happen like usual I will have tomorrow off, hoping to go to some local repair place and bribe them $20 to use an impact screwdriver on my rotor screws so I can finally get them off and get the CL calipers and 11'' rotors on!

    Anyone have any experience with extended ball joints? (roll center adjusters) any difference between the cheap blox ones and the expensive brands?

    A) CL calipers and 11" rotors is baller.

    B) i think if you're talking about putting the extended ball joint on the top you might run into issues with the shock tower? But it wouldn't be "That" bad i would think.
  • Time to cuttem out!

    I am talking about front lower ball joints. supposedly the extended ones greatly improve handling in lowered cars

    I did get the 15/16'' master cylinder on and the steel brake lines with new speed bleeders and there is a massive improvement.

    I can't wait to see how the CL calipers and 11'' rotors go. I Need to find speed bleeders for the CL calipers and get the stuck rotor screws out of the front left rotor first though.

    Car was stolen 11 14 11 between 1am and 9am from my house in Tacoma, WA

    If anyone sees anything please let me know 253-359-5052

    Car looks the same as the most recent pics in this thread
  • Damn that sucks man! This is my first time reading your thread (I've been gone a little while) and I was going to suggest installing a SPOT in a hidden location to aid in recovering a stolen vehicle....
  • PavementwagoPavementwago Senior Wagonist
    Not good. Everyone be on the look out
  • driftin90driftin90 Senior Wagonist
    f*#k theives. hope you get it back in good shape
  • tracked wagontracked wagon Council Member
    I'll be looking for sure! I'm out and about all the time. Sorry to here about this.
  • 90shuttle90shuttle Senior Wagonist
    Seriously im tired of thieves!!! Hope you get it back dude.
  • PavementwagoPavementwago Senior Wagonist
    I hope the thieves die and rot in hell.
  • Mandalore88Mandalore88 Senior Wagonist
    Thanks guys I had a lot of security and was shopping around for GPS anti theft systems but hadn't purchased one yet.

    If I just got the coil overs back I'd be happy but at this point I think they made me quit Hondas
  • 90shuttle90shuttle Senior Wagonist
    Quiting is for quiters! And you cant quit hondas :/
  • im really sorry man :( thats f*cking horrible. i really hope they just took it for your stereo.
    good luck! and dont quit !!
  • Mandalore88Mandalore88 Senior Wagonist
    :( If it hasn't turned up by now its probably being taken apart somewhere.

    They didn't take it for the stereo, i took it out to prevent this. I leave the glove box open, speaker covers off, and leave nothing in the car so it would be unattractive to crack heads and 16 year olds.
  • unlimited02unlimited02 Senior Wagonist
    sorry to hear that... sounds like you didn't have an alarm? and yea with wagon gettins popular, fucken theives are just gonna start stealing them, thats why i went extreme with my old wagon to make sure that didn't happened...

    no im just angry

    H&Rs are gone, doors and hatch are gone

    I think someone with a wagon took it.

    its not really repairable to me as I work on it on the street, and unfortunately I am retiring
  • F**kn terrrible, people work so hard for what we have for some lazy piece of shit hating loser to take what's yours because they can't build their own!
  • 90shuttle90shuttle Senior Wagonist
    Sorry dude... i hopee you reconsider selling.
  • Mandalore88Mandalore88 Senior Wagonist
    yeah not selling isn't really an option. I work 50 hours a week and am not up to the task of rebuilding the car out on the street.

    I need some $ to buy a reliable car.
  • Sorry to hear bout the bad luck man.
  • 90shuttle90shuttle Senior Wagonist
    Understandable, but what a shame!
