Band Wagon
Hey guys name is James. Im not in anyway new to hondas, nor the older models. Owned a 89 ED6 and a 91 DA9. I just recently sold the DA and picked up a CRZ im leasing right now. I love the car. But its been in the back of my head, since before i traded the 89 hatch, that ive wanted a wagon forever.
I was initially going to trade the hatch for a wagon but the trade fell through unfortunately and ended up keeping the hatch for another 1/2 a year or so. Anyway im back on the hunt for a sweet wagon. I found 2 local and ive been doing a lot of research on the different trims and reading several threads on here. Im waiting on funds to come in so ive not picked one up but im hoping in the next few months when ive got everything else situated ill be able to finally get one.
I do know i want a FWD model as my initial plan was to k-swap it, but living in florida i NEED a/c, ive done it for 6 years without and i just possibly cant do it anymore, and since this will be a travel/kids mobile it HAS to have it. Ive been doing a lot of research and it seems the biggest issue is the a/c compressor location, im still doing more research but i have a feeling its not going to work out. Only time and fitting it will tell. Ive also not even seen a completed k-swapped wagon yet?! I know a member on here had a build going but he fell off the map??
anyway heres a few of the cars ive had
old 95 civic. this was my first honda and the car i learned everything from.
how i got it back in 05
how it looked just before i sold it
my old 89 Hatch
how it looked when i got it (2nd owner)
2 1/2 years later (built with no job)
91 DA (traded the hatch for it) only had it 6 months, car was a freakin mess
i did A LOT more to it than this just giving an idea.
Not to mention i converted both to obd1 and the DA i actually built the jumper harness. i have 2 full build threads on the EF and DA on my local forum if anyone else is interested.
Anyway im glad to be apart of this forum and i cant wait to contribute.
