  • Perhaps it was in another build thread I have on another forum. I will take some this afternoon and post them up for you guys

    hey man. sorry to hack out, are you running any adjustable camber arms on your shuttle?
  • Only rear ones, rear camber is set to -0.5degrees which isnt exactly to my liking, would prefer a bit more
  • For those asking about the brackets for the 5panel Mirror:

    Nice shots. That's a beautiful place.
  • Thanks, I am very fortunate where I live, coastal town with a great surf beach about 10mins away, boat ramp about 5mins from my front door and 4 lakes within 30mins, another 4 about an hour away.

    That particular lake is Lake Rotoma for anyone interested, water was still rather cold though
  • Thanks for the pics of the mirror. Hey something just popped into my head.

    Here in the US, many of the wagons came with only a driver's side (LHD) mirror, and no passenger side mirror (on the right). How about the RHD wagons in your area? Did they typically come with only a right side mirror, or did most of them come with both?
  • I think the Civic Pro may come with one sometimes, and very rarely they come with fender mirrors. They are the lowest model, vinyl interior 1300cc Carby motor and no A/C sometimes no power steering etc. Basically to be used as a Van/Courier Vehicle

    Every other one I have seen comes with two.
  • nice. i just finally bought a passenger side mirror FINALLY! and I had to settle for one with cracked glass. but I've been reading up on swapping out the glass with one from another civic, so that's gonna happen soon.
  • Here is a pic of the new Radiator for those interested:

    Thanks for the update pics on the mirror. I like it and looking forward to purchasing one. The swap looks great. Too bad you cannot have a b-series with keeping the 4wheel drive. I need to somehow make that happen.
  • Why cant you? There is a couple of AWD Bseries Wagons around on here

    Yeah they are out there, just not too many of them. It's not exactly an "easy" process from what I understand.

    great shuttle! lots of details...most i like the ek9 sunglassholder,great idea for my ef3 sedan here was it tricky? do you cut something?
  • Thanks!

    Sunglasses holder when straight on, no mods required. Fits all cars with the same Rear veiw mirror as Wagon/EK as it uses those three bolts to attach to the roof
  • Havnt done much to this recently, been doing a slight wire tuck and audio install in my Integra.
    However the Shuttle passed its 6monthly safety inspection last week (Warrent Of Fitness) and I have lowered the back a little more and gave it a good clean today:

  • that's a clean wagon you have there

    Looks great NZ-DB8R! Bumper looks dead on. Is that J's Racing lip for a EF9 or EF8?
  • Bumper still needs a tweak for the filler panel but its close. Not as perfect as yours thats for sure.

    The lip is a J's Racing replica, the guy who made it had a genuine EF8 one and used my bumper to make a mould for EF9.
    The EF8 and EF9 ones are apparently quite different.

    If you see it again grab some pics! Never seen another set of wheels like these apart from in Japan, but never in this fitment.

    Ive got my integra out of the garage now and the Shuttle rolled straight in.
    So far I have:
    -Replaced faulty o2 sensor
    -Rewired Knock sensor with screened wire
    -Fitted a skid plate to the headers
    -Re-engineered the rear suspension for some more low

    Heres how it currently sits:

    Not much room now:

    Doesnt rub so dont need rolling ;)
    Also running -0.5degrees camber so can wind the camber arms in a bit if needed
  • I like that wagon, so clean
