Slowassrt4wd's wagon

slowassrt4wd

so i just bought my rt back after selling it 2 years ago, and i missed it ever since so i finally got it back. as of now it has a d16y7, i need to make some sort of bracket to hold the half-shaft, i need to put the y7 oil pan back on, i need to but a alternator belt, have to get the ac likes and compressor, have to install the a6 flywheels and install the new clutch that i already ordered. it needs a new windshield, need a rear hatch window they installed like a 86 window or something cus its short like 3/4 inches on each side. i sold the car about 2 years ago for $2400 and i bought it back for $390 yes three hundred and ninety dollars lol.

Future mod:
gsr blades or se sunflowers
some type of sway bar for the rear maybe a modded da one, i have a welder and i fabricate alot, some aftermarket lca
polyurethane filled motor mounts and rear trailing arm bushings
-turboing the y7 using a tiny k03 turbo(which i already have) from a passant 1.8t should be very fun, making the manifold out of home-depot gas pipe elbows, dsm side mount intercooler and dsm 450cc
i got skunk2 coilovers i wanna install but i had put tein lowering springs in the rear and cut in the front, so for sure the skunk2 in the front but i dont know about the rear yet, i wanna lower the rear and front a lil more

tell me what u guys think and if anyone got question u are free to ask them....

NEW PICS

civicpwr1

what year gst did those injectors come off?

slowassrt4wd

am not sure the year but it was a second gen automatic, i know they are 450cc for sure because it says it on there and it still had the turbo manifold

prboy1969

good luck with blackwork's junk, their parts never fit right and there is like 3 different shops sewing them for copying parts

slowassrt4wd

ok

prboy1969

Hells yea that mani looks like it came out perfect . Keep us updated . Also those mirrors are going to look sweet . Can you still control them from the inside ?

slowassrt4wd

naw u cant control these from the inside:( but is fine i just set them once and hardly ever have to readjust them, i should be taking the tranny down tomorrow but am still waiting for the clutch to come in the mail....but thanks guys, u are what keeps me motivated haha

hoodbridge

the mani def turned out nice .
Did u have the ek mirrors already or did u order them on purpose ?
Ive thought about getting some before but i wasnt sure if i odered the ef ones if they would fit best or if the ek ones would work better .
I just wondering since i found the non carbon fiber ones for 30 bux shipped and im really thinking about getting them after seeing them on ur wagon

slowassrt4wd

i already had them i was just checking if they fit somewhat and they did so am gonna use them, but yea u should buy them i think they look great

prboy1969

Anymore updates on the turbo mani and install ?

slowassrt4wd

yea i got the turbo installed and the ecu chipped the car run like a dream, turbo spools super fast sounds awesome BUT i have to take everything out tomorrow, it looks like the turbo seals are bad am burning mad oil:( so am putting the stock mani back on until further notice lol but definitely was fun for the week it was turbo, ill snap some pics before i start taking it apart

leWolf

You did that really fast, so you even had it piped and hooked up?

prboy1969

Damm that was quick . Sorry your turbo took a dump . How much boost where you running ?

slowassrt4wd

8psi, it was runing nice too, but i think i like it the way is running now better, alot smoother n stuff...also some dumbass on sait patrics day ran into the back of my wagon luckily it only broke my tail light and the piece that goes under the tail light got crushed, i found it at the the junkyard so everything is good. i got both fresh taillights from a mint rt at the junkyard he had the uhaul wiring installed with the tails to i took that aswell, it also had a passenger side mirror so i grabbed that too very rare to see one of these wagos at a junkyard especially a rt, i was kinda glad the guy hit me cus i got to find that wagon at the junkyard and since we didnt call the cops he payed me 150 buck and i only spent 50 on fixing it and gettin the other peices that i didnt need but wanted lol
