    im waiting until after deployment to get some wheels and do a few mods to the engine for a little bit better pickup speed lol

    still have alot of plans for it though.. my lip should be coming in wednesday and the parking pole and speaker pods from 90shuttle will be here soon

    enjoy ladies and gents :)
  • skitsoskitso Wagonist
    This wagon already has a ridiculous amount of personality to it. Lovin it. Keep the updates comin.
  • lecoqlecoq Wagonist
    i like the F7 control arms!!!
  • thanks guys.. ill be updating it every time i get something new until i deploy to afghanistan in two weeks..

    ill be gone for 9 months then when i get back ill do a few mods to the engine, brakes, and suspension and call it a day and do alot more work to my racecar..
  • FINALLY got my lip in.. took forever for it to come in.. im already taking HELLA pictures, the lip sets it off soooo nicely..

    no idea how people managed to get it to fit up nice and snug properly.. i messed with it for about an hour to figure it out but i was stumped so i just put it on.. might have it fiberglassed to smoothen it out and make it a one piece.. it still needs a little work but i LOVE it!

    i got soo many head turns and thumbs up on the 10 minute drive home from post.. made me giddy like a little kid at toys r us with a blank check :)
  • slo88crxslo88crx Senior Wagonist
    HAHA Nice wagon!!! I seen you the other day when I was on my way down to Lacey!! When do you deploy?
  • i fly out on the 20th.. so the wagon isnt getting any updates until i get back in jan from afghanistan.. was that you in the gold one that had the rack that i gave the thumbs up to?

    on a side note.. there isnt a lip anymore, it shattered this morning on my way on post.. FML. so now i get to take all the hardware out from the bumper with the little chunks that are left on it.. :(
  • 90shuttle90shuttle Senior Wagonist
    I told you it was too low!!!!
  • there is no such thing!!! just means i need a polyurithane lip not a plastic lip :)
  • robert5995robert5995 Band Wagon
    Brian -
    Excellent purchase! I wish I could find such a nice Wago around here in CO - they're all beat!
    - Rob
  • thanks man.. just keep looking around.. ive been looking for one for years and i just got mine in jan.. itll definately take some time but the time taken to find the right one will be worth it forsure!
  • slo88crxslo88crx Senior Wagonist
    Yea that was me. I was cruising down to oly to chill with some friends! Anyways sucks about your lip. oh well right it's the price for playing the game! lol
  • Haha yea i took the exit after you got off, went to lower the back some more on mine.. I love the color of yours.. Yea i was pretty mad when it busted but its my fault for bein soo low lol.. Guess ill have to look for a polyurithane one that will work

    I actually took a picture of yours through my rear view but it didnt turn out good lol
  • slo88crxslo88crx Senior Wagonist
    Haha nice!!! I like my color too. But I really miss my old blue one. I just couldn't find a blue rt for the price I was looking for! Oh well I like this guy well enough.
  • Yea i know what you mean.. I think i overpaid for mine but it was rustfree, the interior was mint, and i needed a car asap.. It was the cheapest i could find around here though.. Some guy wanted fkn $4500 for one that was lowered with wheels , guy must have been high lol
  • looking for opinions on what ill be doing after i get back from afghanistan, let me know what you guys think..

    plans after deployment:: a little body work to fix the few dents and dings i do have, repaint stock blue, full poly bushings, a few more suspension upgrades, some super sick wheels, and im debating on either going semi built supercharged minime, semi built dual cam ZC swap supercharged, or b20 trans with semi built GSR swap supercharged.. no turbo for the wagon, i want power on demand.. nothing too crazy just something tastefully quick that still gets relatively good MPG.. and ive really been considering doing the RHD shuttle conversion.. thoughts or addons you guys think i should do?
  • what happened to the RT steelies?
  • i still have them.. not sure if i want to keep them and have them rebarreled or sell them.. ive been debating on either te37v, work meister S1 3 pieces, or hayashi yayori's.. im already getting one set of wheels that i havent listed but im keeping those a secret :)
  • 90shuttle90shuttle Senior Wagonist
    I know what they are! ;)
  • yes sir you do, keep yo mouf shuttt girl! lololol <3 you no homo :wink:

  • neverrrrrrrrrr that lol..

    cant wait.. got a few things coming in the mail today, STOKED! :)
  • 90shuttle90shuttle Senior Wagonist
    Enjoy brotha.
  • BrIaN_EE4BrIaN_EE4 Wagonist
    man havent been on here in a minute.. well i got my stuffs in the mail from 90shuttle now im ready to get back from afghanistan and put that issh on.. and we were talking about doing a certain something to my car after i get back.. hopefully we can get it done :)

    so i finally made up my mind.. im going to grab a set of 15x8 +10 Volk Racing TE37V's in gunmetal with a polished lip with either a 20mm or 25mm spacer and some 195/45/r15 yokohama s drives after i get back from deployment forsure..

    i want to run the other wheels i have been keeping a secret but i have to run a lug adapter and im not sure if i want to.. what do you guys think?
  • BrIaN_EE4BrIaN_EE4 Wagonist
    so i finally ordered a complete set TE's to include spare with project kics R40 neo chrome extended lugs and was debating forever on what tires to run.. im going to go with a set of 165/45/15's.. hopefully ill have them mounted as soon as i get back from afghanistan because it is currently sitting in a storage garage and the tires on the steelies are more than likely going to be dry rotted from sitting for 9 months..

    im throwing the whole building the wagon out the window, im just going to keep it for a low and slow clean daily driver/familycar/grocery getter.. my wife talked me into selling my racecar and selling her 2006 BMW 3.25i that i bought her to get her a new accord..

    one thing that i am looking to buy is a clean set of window visors, i know 90shuttle had some but probably wont have them by the time i get back..

    ill post pictures of the wheels as soon as i can get a picture of them seeing that im on the other side of the world currently lol
