My hoodride RT4WD *zero offset*
Stock
Wagonist
A couple months back I was bitten by the Civic wagon bug, possibly the weirdest bug out there. Searched for a while and found a couple in AZ but nothing that made me want to go through the trouble of getting it to LC. I eventually lucked out and found one here in town that was put up for sale after dude (user "oilspot") bought a blue wagon to replace it.
At that point I abandoned my plans of swapping a recently acquired B16A2 into my then DD Civic hatch and put both the motor and the car up for sale with the hopes of snatching the wagon up. Long story short, I got the wagon. Spent a day or so cleaning the fucking piss out of it, vacuuming, cleaning seats, cleaning all the plastics and even though the interior still needs attention, I'm pleased with it's current state of cleanliness.
oilspot's pics.
It was purchased in stock form aside from eBay coilover sleeves, super ghetto exhaust that consists of a Supertrap dirtbike muffler and some stickers. The agreement was that the coilovers would be returned back to oilspot so I threw the hatch's HX wheels and lowering springs on it for a while until I realized just how shitty they were. Ended up getting some BNIB K-Sport Kontrol Pros for a song and dance off of some dude on H-T, also threw some K-Sport LCAs a couple of weeks later for "fun".
On lowering springs (notice the ride height in the rear) :meh:
On K-Sports and evened out.
I've thrown a couple of other little things at it here and there that I haven't yet taken pics of... The biggest Broadway mirror I've ever seen (purchased for stupid cheap from Atomic Auto, good lookin' out, Cece!) Memphis Audio speakers front and rear, EDM lower center console, among other things. I've also got a few things still waiting to go on, wheel bearings, ARP extended studs and other boring things...
Well, I guess the whole reason I'm making this thread now rather than back when I first purchased it is because I'm finally overall pleased with the way it looks from the outside. Yes, I know it's got rust and dents and the paint sucks but I'm cool with that. It's a hoodride DD, I got caught up wanting to fix that kind of shit with the hatch and set myself up to spend way too much on something I bought to save gas while I fix my fast car... This one is going to be a little simpler and way more ghetto.
Without further rambling, here sits my almost hella flush wagon on some 15x8 0ET 002s. I'm going to go a little lower in the front once I get a camber kit and lower in the rear once I get some shorter springs but like I said, I'm happy.

Also, thanks to whichever HCW forum member I stole the "Miller Low Life" sticker idea from!
actually, ZCPowerR's says MULLET low life
While I am rocking a borderline mullet right now (2 weeks without a trim) I still prefer Miller to a Mississippi Mudflap.
I just ended up with a set of those wheels too, but with a regular offset.
nice upgrade.
All day! I refuse to trim them, I'm letting the road do my dirty work.
Hell yea me too. Im already down to the letters. Haha.
The fact that he said "looking" leads me to believe that he might be in the market for new tires.
oh yea those are the tires that came wit the rims 205 50 ......i wanna stretchem a lil so 195 should be decent 8)
ther on my da in the pic just to roll it for now.....i tried them on the wagon but they would rub
The end result was me just ditching 2 of these bastards per side:
Finally tucking all 4 tires :bowdown:
End result:
Before: (Slight gap, enough to bug me)
After: (Front is tucked, parked at an angle, fucking sue me.)
Once again, I got nothing for you. 13" or 14" what?
Totally cracks me up that your still rollin with that supertrapp.
Here's a pic of it when it was still on my old xr500...
