    Well, no wagons at the local pull-a-part today. The 4 fresh 4g civics in inventory were sedans and a hatch.
    I did pick up a nice pair of headlights, so as not to waste the trip...

    And I bought some Yakima stuff

    This is still a mockup, trying to decide which towers/ bike mounts to use.
  • how are you suppose to mount those types of roof racks? Any drilling involved?
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member

    I've got 4 different sets of used struts...they all suck. Guess I need to buy some new ones, but this works pretty well for now. Even got a place to store it

    do you have an HF tranny or how the heck did you get 2500 rpms going 85 mph?!
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Yeah, it's HF.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    dang thats crazy. i need to get one of those one day for a future car =)
  • bam bam we have the same color wagon , i like that color alot man, yeah i painted my rims a dark grey metallic it looks Fly too, and i also painted the bumpers flat black and the plastic license light holder thing as well looks very nice
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    What do you guys think about these wheels?

    82.jpg

    since putting in the EX tranny I've been thinking about some 14's. These are from a Del Sol. What I really like are the "mini fat fives", these just came up for a good price.

    They should look good on your wagon....Bump for OEM Honda Wheels. 8)
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Yeah, the thing is I've been thinking about eliminating ALL chrome/silver, and I don't know how they'd look in satin black. Might pick them up and put 'em on the Integra, swap the teg steelies to the wago...
  • ThatDoodleThatDoodle Council Member
    I think they might not look so great in black. The silver might be a nice contrast against your grey car. If you swap the steelies from the teg do some nice hubcaps. what size are the steelies from the teg?>

    i think the steelies would look nicer. are they 14 or 15 inch? clean them up real nice, then take the Civic center caps and put them on the steelies. they look GREAT i did this to my friends hatchback and it looks very nice.
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    the teg wheels are 14s. I'm gonna go see these in person today, maybe try one on.

  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    these are 14s..

    here is what i was talking about:

    A little progress report... told ya it was gonna happen

    137.jpg

    hitch from a '94 Dodgeminivan- cut down

    138.jpg

    still working on brackets. painted the muffler while I had it off

  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    hitch looks good man
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Gave 'er some love today. Timing belt, waterpump, plugswirescaprotor, valve adjustment, vC gasket.

    Have been having to run 93 octane to stop detonation. Timing belt was floppy(again, I had tightened it once). Also found rotor slopping around on dist. shaft. Anyway, had been unable to advance timing enough, now I can. I hope this means I don't have to keep spending the extra 20 cents/gallon.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    any updates on the hitch?

    not yet, looking for, well, not sure wtf I'm looking for, but I'll know when I see it. Gotta build a bracket to bolt to the 3-bolt tiedown hooks on the "frame", then angle down to the spare well. Back burner while I ponder on it...
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    those look like Del Sol wheels... not Si wheels =)

    honestly im not a big fan of those... though they would prolly go well with your car's color.

    would you lower your wagon after these wheels at all?
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Yeah, Del Sol is what I've been hunting...I like 'em, but then I don't get the pink thing, either :lol:

    Lower? hellno. Raise? maybe.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    HAHA you have a point :lol:
