My 91 RT4WD and the 73 CT70

Here's my 91 wagon. Has about 198,500 on the odometer and a lower mileage a6 that I put in after I hydrolocked the original motor. Currently it is bone stock with the exception of the audio. I am in the process of making a hitch and I also have all new oem suspension bushings for it and it will be getting my illumina/HR race combo that is currently on my unlicensed hatch. I am waiting til the bike is street legal to tear into it.

It honestly is one of the overall mintest high mileage civics of that era that I've ever seen that hasn't had any restoration work. I don't have pics of the interior but it is everything but perfect. Enjoy!!

Onto the ct70. It was completely stock when I got it 1-2 months ago and has 3476 miles on it. It now has a 140cc motor along with countless other upgrades. You can pretty much see everything on the pictures. I am going to get a plate for it monday and then hopefully my jet kit gets here monday as well. It currently runs, but not exceptionally well because it is lean as shit.

    I don't think that's going to be possible. :lol: :lol: I'm thinking a small turbo (t25 or so) at 10-15psi will complement the stock motor nicely. 8) :shock:

    Anybody have any recommendations for turbos? It will be a couple months till I do it (if I do it). I'm looking for full boost as early as possible combined with boost till the upper half of 6 grand.

    So I slammed her today. She got the illumina/hr race combo I had along with every suspension bushing replaced (OEM FTW!!) and different lower rear control arms in preperation of the rear sway bar. The front is seriously slammed. A hair less that 1 finger gap with 185/60-r14 but the rear has plenty of room(like 3.75 fingers). The front mud flaps scrape like mad too. There is about 1.5 finger gap between them and the ground. I'm going to weld some dead coil on the top of the springs in the front to raise her .5ish". Pics tomorrow. 8) :shock: 8)

    Also, no turbo. I will be doing some minor porting on a head with the help of a motorhead mentor of mine and about 100 thousandths mill with a one layer headgasket. I will also be using a delta 272 cam and 96-00 cam gear to help bring cam timing back within spec. Should net me around 13:1 compression on a sohc zc that will be getting every seal replaced while its in surgery along with arp headstuds and rod bolts. Next week shall hopefully see my free 4-2-1 header modified to fit my 4wd and exhaust shall follow shortly thereafter. Hoping for 135whp...........Stay tuned :twisted: :twisted:

    Somewhere in there I hope to finish my ct70, hitch, and rims........

    Here are the pics. It doesn't look super low but the front mudflaps scrape like a bitch and I'd rather have it a hair higher up front.

    looks better with the new stance.

    i don't like the rims all too much tho.

    overall it looks good man.

    Minty as hell. Looks tight. Let me know if you decide to sell her. Im looking for a red wagon in that condition I figure I'd ask since you're close by. Something that doesn't need body work. 8)

    Draging Mudflaps is part of the game. Keep on dragn' :)

    Thanks. I kind of like the rims but I definately wouldn't have bought them. They were on when I got it. Its getting my hx rims once I get the current powdercoat blasted off and paint them to my specifications. :D

    I won't be selling her anytime soon unless something totally unexpected happens. I'll add you to my list of people that I'm watching for wagons.

    I'm really debating whether I do anything. I love it so much but I just want to be able to drive back roads without scraping the flaps every 2 feet. I'm thinking about buying some 3/8" or 1/4" thick rubber and cutting spacer rings to put in the top hat above the spring. I think adding a full coil on top of the spring will make me much higher than I want to be.

    Passenger clearance where it was sitting for the other photos.

    I like it! Looks really good! You have any problems with fade spots in that red. My wifes CR-V is starting to fade and its that same color... and I've seen others the same red color with faded patches. :?:

    Yes. The roof and pillars actually have some white spots when parked under a street light. Some of the edges up there actually are white because all the paint is gone. I try to keep it waxed but it seems that even a good carnuba wax only lasts about 3-4 weeks on the single stage. The fenders and hood were repainted because of it (at least I think so because there is absolutely no damage or screwed up paint on the inner fenders or rad support). Its my only complaint about having an arizona car. :wink:

    yeah are CR-V has been an Oregon car all its life but still has faded spots on the roof and hood

    You should buff it with a light polishing compound and wax regularly. Like once a month for single stage and every 4 months with clear coat. It would make the crv look so much better. Takes away the pink and makes it red.
