Looks like a good start. I might throw one of my extra stickers on my bad headlight.:) Good luck!

stephen

i am actually going to make the headlight sticker bigger and use blue or black vinyl so you can see it better

Revmaynard

Cool, cool. I don't need mine standing out, really. I will tell you though, taking the time to REALLY clean that car up will make one of the biggest differences.

stephen

i desperately need to do that. i have just been lazy. i feel it coming soon though......

Revmaynard

Yea, I spent hours cleaning it up once I got it. It became a new car from just that. Paint the bumpers and trim and you'll notice a huge difference.

stephen

gonna paint the steelies that are on it smurf blue to match my valve cover. if it looks like crap then i will try to find another option. but for now that is my goal.....

I think you might be biased TIMELESS

stephen

lee123

Your in the same boat as me i still need to lower my wagon unless you lowered yours already, i didnt really read through your page but i looked at the pictures

stephen

see initial post for some updated pics as well as the mini-gallery for more details

wagon cleaned up real nicely!! looks good lowered. and now we got matching HCW.com stickers :P except mine are red.

stephen

heeeeey you shouldnt have that sticker, that was for peeps who CAME to the meet

wagodizzle

i was there in heart and soul plus richard likes me haha. jk

Revmaynard

I'm not here to judge on who ''likes'' who, but the car looks awesome! lol The sticker on my headlight makes me feel like my car has an eye patch.

stephen

thanks everyone for the compliments. to be called sick by the NJ crew is big to me.....

i spent over an hour cleaning the underside of the hood. and at least 4 or 5 hours washing/vacuuming etc. for the SE meet. it made such a difference.

hopefully i will have a couple new things done for the fall IA meet. and i plan to have it painted and the front seats swapped by IA 2009.

at some point it will get boosted too.....

its funny, i have had at least a compliment a day since i dropped it. i passed some guy in an integra today and he stomped it to catch up, honk and tell me "nice car" with a thumbs up...

This is wagon blasphemy, but I swear I think the car looks better without mud flaps.

I've been debating taking mine off recently. I know they're rare and sought after, but when the wagon is lowered a lot not only do the guards scrub everything, but I think they look like they don't flow well.

ragenasian

Looks good man. Doesn't CAI mean Cold Air Intake? It seems like your filter is in a bad spot though. It seems like it would be more prone to soak up hot air at that spot. Might not make a whole lot of difference but you know just observation .

Car is coming along nicely. Looks like I will have to work a little harder in finding you some wheels for this thing, or are you still interested in some 13's?

Kahuna

Cool wagon..

I just noticed you were in TN..

Me too....

Did you go to the summer IA meet?

stephen

This is wagon blasphemy, but I swear I think the car looks better without mud flaps.

i agree, thats why i took mine off. i am going to put on a rear lip to level off the bottom and i think it wil flow so much better i think they add a "look how dam low i am" flavor to dropped wagons, but personally i like them better off. i just wish i had been a member of this forum when i took them off so i wouldve known not to throw them away.....

Doesn't CAI mean Cold Air Intake?

yep. very good observation. i guess i should call it a ram air intake. this one is just temporary until i do the MPFI because the strut brace wouldnt go OVER the intake mani on there and it wouldnt go in front of the mani (like it is now) with my longer CAI on.

are you still interested in some 13's?

i was surprised at how much i like the 13's on there now, but if the tires were smaller i dont think i would like it at all. right now they fill the wheel wells pretty well. i think anything 13'-15' would look good as long as there was a little meat on them.

I just noticed you were in TN..

Me too....

Did you go to the summer IA meet?

yep i am in the nashville area. i believe you are in my old neck of the woods in jackson? i am at every IA meet. i am friends with the guy who runs it so i always help out. this year i had set aside special parking for the few wagons who were there. there is a fall IA mini-meet in a couple of weeks, you should come. i posted about it in the meetings and events section.


thanks again for all the compliments, it feels good when people appreciate your efforts.....
