Welcome to the forum!

draginmywagon

damn that thing looks clean.. where did you find the cargo cover...

tapia831

was looking at the cargo cover forum n wanted one soo bad.. said it would fit one off a 90 to 93 accord n after going to all the major dismantlers couldnt find one .. stopped at a lil dismantler and found this off a 95 so i just got it and made it fit ... just look around dude.. if need help ill post more pics

tapia831

yup its gonna be my first wekfest.. couldnt make it last year cuz mi si hatch was totalled n i was too bummed so looking forward to it..

Sad news... blew a headgasket on the freeway.. idk what happened. was bound to do cuz off all the miles.. took off the head today, replaced water pump, thermostat, radiator, cleaned under the hood, and air crafted my valve cover to get ready for paint.. just gotta get my head checked out and put back together on my next day off

X2... always sad to see a "sudden death"

Eagle Beagle

check for debris, flush cooling system...

radiator, hoses...
all that jazzz

tapia831

inspected everything.. to see what could of caused my gasket problem n turns out the thermostat was clogged... n cuz of all the miles i guess it couldnt take the heat.. but wow.. a thermostat... in a way its good cuz dont have to worry about any engine problems no more.. a real daily driver. should finish the top end tomorro.. if i dont get distracted by the super bowl.. will post pics.. maybe even go rear disk off my eg..

tapia831

got her running again.. runs like a champ again.. will post pics later on.. put on my ef si rims.. n bought everything to repaint the trim.. getting her ready for wekfest.. i kno u can add late 80s front struts on front because their shorter and better for a lowerd wagon but does anyone kno what rear struts i can use cuz my stocks are bottoming out and want a more smoother ride..

tapia831

Sorry for not posting pictures sooner.. had no internet for a while.. got my wagon running cherry now.. runs like a champ



pic of my wagon n my sir

tapia831

wekfest was a blast. drove up with a couple of buddies n made it no problem. was hoping to see other wagons there to get ideas but nothing. many were saying mine was the only one.. crazy.. anyways got alot of props from people n turned alot of heads as i passed japantown parking lot.. love my wago.. anyway before the show i installed new oem rear struts off a sedan. so i can get a lil lift in the rear for better handling.. and got an alignment.. thing handles like my sir..

klum

i went to wekfest with my wagon! i think i saw you

wyld kardz ee2

i couldnt make it.havent got my wagon running yet.i heard it was a bigger turn out this year.

tapia831

most everyone was saying it was way better than prior yrs.. n the line was insane.. had one of my buddies go early to save us a spot n we ended going to the middle of the line and we still waited for like 2hrs.. will post pics when im home from work later on..

tapia831
