GR33K's RT-4WD! Eye candy updates!

Alright, I am about to sell my old Wagon Stanley:

to make room for the new addition Charlie:

I purchased this from ZCPOWER_R.
And it took 11 hours each way to get this beast.

VA to Woodstock, GA and back.

Anyways that is the only picture I have right now, but I will have some more soon.

And A friend and I are doing the:

Timing belt
Water pump
Axle seals
Oil pump
Oil pan gasket
Valve cover gasket
4 O-rings at the bottom of the spark plug tubes
Rear crank seal
Steering boots
PS belt
AC belt
Alternator belt
And wiper blades... lol

And I have to give a huge shout out to bam-bam for helping wiring the radio in.
I would have gone insane on the way back without music for 11 hours!

    Nice looking wagon. Why not just keep both?
  • CharbCharb Administrator
    Awesome! I love that car
  • GR33KGR33K Wagonist
    Because I already have my Integra to keep up with and being in college,
    it is hard both financially and time wise to keep one car let alone two or three.

    To a degree...

    There are oil leaks in various spots (why I'm replacing a bunch of things)
    One of the U-joints is bad in the drive shaft
    Needs a windshield
    Needs a new muffler and later new exhaust pipes
    And it doesn't have a thermostat

    But I am happy with the purchase, and what 23 year old car wouldn't have problems? lol

    What's the scoop on your wagon being for sale? Got a price yet?

    Not yet, I want to fix the new Wagon and then after I get it running properly I will start to sell the Blue one.

    Bling Bling, by the way there's nothing wrong with having multiple wagons
  • GR33KGR33K Wagonist
    There is when you cant afford the both of them and your Integra. I need money to fix the both of them. lol
  • GR33KGR33K Wagonist
    Nothing would go right on the Wagon today! My three friends and I managed to do the axle seals and rear main seal, but we had the hardest time getting the transmission off and were not able to get the sucker back on! We spent a good 24 hours working on it over the last two days and it was beyond frustrating. We ultimately gave up and I called another guy I met who knows how to do this and I am getting the car towed there Monday.

    On the bright side, the clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, timing belt, and water pump proved to be young in age and we didn't have to replace them.

    All we have to do is put the transmission back on, then everything will fall right in place afterwords. IT JUST WONT LINE UP! :evil:
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    It'll be OK.

    I think I remember him having that clutch done recently.
  • RevmaynardRevmaynard Council Member
    Congrats, Rich is a cool guy and a good wagon owner! I hope you love it as much as he and we did. lolol
  • GR33KGR33K Wagonist
    Thanks guys, I am hoping to get the car back together today.

    I also have a question, I have Tokico suspension from a 94-01 Integra, but the fronts are too big to fit in the forks.
    What forks can I use that will fit the Wagon and the suspension?

    Thanks
  • 3rd4ce3rd4ce Council Member
    honestly i think on DaWedge an integra fork was used because its larger diameter...
  • GR33KGR33K Wagonist
    Okay, just a 3rd gen Integra one? Thanks for the help!
  • GR33KGR33K Wagonist
    Okay, here are some new pictures just to update things.

    Put a silver H on the front

    www.civicwagon.com

    Removed the mid-wing, HCW sticker, and Thule roof rack!

    Removed the tint strip on the windshield

    My lady got me OEM wheel locks for my birthday

    DSCF0472.jpg

    And this is how the engine bay looks right now, well minus the tranny... I need to put it back together.

    And the things done maintenance wise are: Axle seals, rear main seal, oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket, timing belt and water pump looked fresh so no need in doing that, as well as the clutch.

    Thanks! I wish I could wash it, but I can't drive it. :roll:

    What do you plan on doing with the mid wing?

    If the car gets back together and passes inspection, I am going to sell it.
  • GR33KGR33K Wagonist
    The Wagon should be back up and running by Monday.

    Parts installed since previous work: NGK plugs, NGK wires, fuel filter.

    And as soon as the Wagon passes inspection, I will transfer over my seats and speaker pods from the blue Wagon :)
  • GR33KGR33K Wagonist
    Okay, so the speedometer doesn't work, but I got another one and the clip from another Wagon and hopefully that solves the problem.

    Some other items scored at the junkyard were:
    Misc. nuts, screws, and bolts
    Flywheel cover
    Spare tire cover with foam attached to the metal (thought it would help with sound deadening)
    Rear EF sedan 'Honda' mudflaps :)
    Battery L shaped block off plate
    Speedometer cable and clip
    Bracket that goes on the stock airbox
    Hood prop

    I still need 1994-2001 Integra front suspension forks!!!!

    And now my poem... lol

    Oh Wagon Wagon Wagon,
    When will you be done?
    I’m tired of this nonsense,
    When can we have fun?
    Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.
    Oh Wagon, when will you stop being such a bitch?
    If not soon, I am going to drive you into a ditch.

    Take heart. None of this is a big deal. I've been through all of it, and (usually) cheerfully.
