Hello, New to the wagon community
Evo_Seb08
Band Wagon
How's it going? Just scored a great deal on a civic wagon off of craigslist just recently, and decided to join this forum for tips and possibly new ideas.
Little bit about me:
-From Oklahoma city (Currently deployed in Afghanistan)
-Been in the army for 4 years in March as a communications specialist. Will be going to flight school to fly UH-60's when I return to America.
-Always been into hondas since Highschool, but just recently got back into them.
My wagon is a '91 DX Auto. Bought it off of craigslist for $650! Fully stock, 130k miles.
My beloved wagon waiting at home for me, stock as can be!
My other vehicles are: Evo 8 (Mitsubishi) and Crx HF as my daily.
I have been bitten by the "mod-bug" pretty bad by the group I hang out with back at home. My Evo 8 is currently under construction in Dallas at Gene's Performance where it is undergoing extensive changes. To sum it up, it will be a 2.0L build pushing a twin scroll PTE 6765 fueled by E85 and a 50 shot. Power goals are to break 800awhp w/o the bottle. The bottle will only be used for ease of boost, not peak power. All while still having a/c, p/s, full interior and a dvd/nav system
Evo Pics:
ah... good ol' days. This was right after a wash and wax.
Turbo and wastegates (yes.. plural) Custom Fab work by Gene.
My Crx was another great deal on craigslist that I couldnt let pass before I went on this deployment. It was equipped with very tasteful mods and the guy needed money for school. I have always like crx's, but never the lack of space (hints why I bought an evo). When I saw a wagon, I knew I hadda get one! the full swap along with the bolts ons will be pulled out of the rex, and installed in the wagon as soon as I get home.
Pics: none at the moment.. will have some up soon!
Mod list:
JDM B16A with LSD trans
Exedy stage 1 clutch
Skunk2 Intake mani and 65mm throttle body
Skunk2 valvetrain and TI retainers
Skunk2 Cam gears
Greddy 4-2-1 header
Hondata s300
I got the crx for $1600 with all that! So how could I not say yes? Another reason why I bought my wagon is because it was a 91, very nice condition, and still had all its amenities in tact (a/c, p/s). Once I get the parts swapped over, the crx will be retired, and the wagon will continue on as my sleeper-daily. Talk at the shop is modding a turbo manifold to fit the evo 8 turbo onto my b16 while still keeping the a/c and p/s. Once this all takes place, I will definitely make a build thread once I learn where everything is at on this forum. Pics will be up once I leave my office!
Thanks for reading!

Welcome
-- I wasn't very fond of the red at first myself, but it was a buddies car and I felt comfortable with the history of the car. But after a days washing and waxing, she is a real head turner. Especially with my old 3'' RSR exhaust accompanied with the lobing of the Tomei cams
Thank you sir! I don't think I could have a better pair of cars myself... Saw some pics of your wagon and I was very impressed with how yours came out! The wait for me to go home will be awhile, but I will be getting to work once Im home!
So what all did you have to do to get that ef9 siR front to fit?
thanks... i've been putting a master plan for a long time for it hahaha but yea... any of the ef's well fit, it all matters on the front core support if u can't get the jdm core support ur good less work, but i had to chop up an extra usdm front core support to fit and it worked out great... hope that helps...
