So here we go again! So I sold my 1990 wagon because it was just too beat. And didn't have the money to fix-er up! So after a about two weeks I was having Car-less withdrawls. ahhhhh What do I do? Instead of spending too much on another beat car that the kid wouldn't budge on. So driving back home from looking at that car. I was scanning C-list and found this guy for a good price.
Expecting to go and look at another beat up wagon. I was surprised to find that this car is in really good shape. Minus some rust and a few little things here and there.
But now I has a RT woohoo!!!.
On to the pics! Going to be some good updates coming very soon!
Here is what it looked like when I bought it.
I'll post more pics later. Did some work to it today!

A buddy of mine was trying. It's always funny to see who ends up with what around here.
I always hated gold until I owned one. Now I want another... bad!
That's the truth!! I wanna go to that camping trip in eastern WA. But idk if I wanna commit and then can't make it!
So then onto removing the ugly little fog lights and changing front lips.
Before with fog lights and terrible hacked up lip!
And after. Didn't take a close-up But you can still see.
So then I made an attempt at changing my driver side cv axle... That was a fail cause I couldn't break the damn nut loose. So I gave up and test fitted one the new wheels! Oh well I soaked in PB blaster and gonna try again today!
Here is my fancy engine. With it's purple valve cover and GOLD intake! haha
So while I was at Cabella's the other day I noticed this basket on the wall. So i decided to pick it up good price and seems to be good quality. Plus the snowboard attachments were pretty worn out!
That's all for now. Stay tuned for some updates possibly wheel install if the snow lets up and I can go into town to have the tires mounted!
Here are a few updates.
This is my rust problem that will stay!
Here is the steering wheel that the car came with!
And I took this out of my crx since I got a new one!
Had to repair my glovebox with some gorilla glue!
My dirty interior. I pulled the mats out to clean! I'll take better Pics later all cleaned up!
And my ripped up seat!! I patched it and haven't taken any pictures yet but will do tomorrow!
Here are my floor mats and my seat patch work I did!
So here is what I found at the junkyard today!! I had no plans on getting this today but I couldn't pass it up!
94 d16z6 160k miles!
Pulled all the accessory's off when I got it home to get ready to install when I get back from my Florida trip.
Installed my Ry-Wire engine harness I had left over from my CRX from back in 2008 when it had a GSR. OBD1 plug and play only thing I had to do was unloom the V-Tec wires and move behind the dizzy and extend the O2 sensor wire.
Well looks like I will be drilling and taping for the half-shaft to go on this motor!
I'll be heading to Florida next Monday for two weeks so I will be installing this little guy when I get back. I still have to find a new RT oil pan and a p28 ecu. other wise I would be putting in before I leave.
Thanks for looking!
You going to the meet in Seattle on Sat?
I'm working till noon getting that time and half. Want to go and still might
Are they that uncommon? I figured all of the civics came with them. If they are, I'll add another uncommon thing to my checklist of options that came on mine lol
Ya I'd say uncommon. When u say all of the civics are you talking about wagons and if it not then ill tell u floor mats are wagon specific.
Yeah, I meant all ef civics. I could've sworn that when I went to look at a sedan before I got my wagon it had the mats in it also, but I don't remember exactly. I'll get pics up of mine on my build thread when I get a chance, I've got a tear in mine right below the clutch/brake pedal
My carbed wagon is good for intown but wouldnt wanna make long drives with it, hoping to upgrade soon and do some minore mods!!
This site is awesome, so glad I found it
Thanks dude!! yea me and pavementwago are thinking about having a seattle meet sometime in April. I'm in FL right now visiting so I shall be back soon to get this setup! Welcome to the site!
Double swap whenever you want to do it man! I only work sunday mornings and thursday mornings right now.
