Abnormal's Wagon

New Wagonist
My name is Ryan and I live in Suwanee (North Georgia).
I've had my wagon since about 2008. I don't have any pictures of when I first got it, but it was in very good shape: only minor dents and dings.
Everything is pretty much factory spec expect for the stereo and window tint (pictures are before tint).
Upgrades I would like to do, but probably don't have time or money:
Pictures (Or if your prefer gallery style):
If you look closely, dangling from the rear view mirror is an Elmo. For whatever reason, the car's name is Elmo. The only thing I can come up with is: if Elmo were to drive a car, this would be it

i'm not very familiar with the character Elmo...
but...
welcome to the 'club' man...
nice pics...
thnx...
btw..what's that dampening
the noise...buffalo skin?
just in grey and less cleaner :oops:
I'd love to upgrade just about everything, but I'm in college and don't really have any money. I like the fact it is stock, but it definitely could use some more power (90hp
I guess right now I'm holding out to see how much longer the stock drive-train and power-plant last.
One thing I do need to fixed is the alignment. It pulls slightly to the left (drives me crazy after 4 hrs on the highway). The toe is correct, but it has a little camber and caster imbalances. New bushings and a camber/caster kit will be my first upgrade. Also, I would like to get shocks and springs; they are too soft for my taste.
For bushings, I was thinking about going with the energy suspension kit, but I wasn't sure if I should use honda bushing instead. Anyone have any suggestions?
In short, the suspension needs an overhaul.
Tell Skip hello from us, see you soon.
Only thing different is the window tint, which I did myself :shock: . It was a real bitch to do, but it looks decent. The three rear windows have some bubbles, but at that point (last windows) I was out of swear words and thin on patience, so this is as good as it got. The tint makes a huge temperature difference in the Summer and looks cooler
thats an evil voodoodoll...
I rem'ber from waaay back
but he scare me no more
no?
I got the sticker from ZCPower_R at Import Alliance.
New rear wheel bearings
Replaced old, decrepit rear trailing arm bushings. Makes a big difference in handling.
Fixed hole in driver's seat. Not pretty, but much better than tape.
After painting trim. Still need to do the passenger side.
I got the rest of the door trim painted, and also painted the wipers.
that's how i feel with my wagon right now.
