Wagonist
May name's manny. i like long walks on the beach, death metal and kittens
Well, I totalled my CRX...that sucked
So i bought this wagon...minus the wheels and CD player. Something to daily drive and make nicer inside for the wife and soon to be baby and my pup in the back
as you can see it looks stupid as hell...especially with the hood. yes...it's a shocker japanese naval flag. ugh
ghetto rigged a cold air intake i had laying around (also swapped in a C&R radiator...no pics)
slapped a couple of stickers on it
and had a friend sandblast and respray my meshies from the CRX (unknown italian brand, 15x7 +15)
they fit OK but i need a camber kit in the rear for sure
I also reupholstered my headliner with some alternating direction skull and crossbone pattern fabric and bolted up my wink mirror
for now, i'd like to get a hoist and lift the motor enough to get my DC header in there and get a 2.5" in/out cat to bolt up to the rest of the 2.5" echaust and raise the low hanging exhaust.
for the body, plans are to get a new hood and drivers fender and some new doors, then get some fender flares from a jetta and cut out/conceal the rear quarter rust and have my friend do a basic cleanup and respray to the stock color, maybe with some more flake if i'm feeling wasteful...it's just a daily driver and will be treated as such...for now
other misc parts i have laying around/from the crx...it's a lot so it'll all just depend on how motivated i get to do stuff and how much money i get from the CRx being totalled (haggling with insurance because of most of the parts mentioned below)
diamond racing 15x8 +12 steelies (ordered) will slap 195/50/15's on em...maybe respray em some absurd old school MONSTER metal flake red
Z6swap (rebuilt stock) with EF Si tranny, ported/polished head with port matched intake mani, chipped P28
DSM turbo
DSM bluetop injectors
Starion intercooler
front strut tower bar (won't clear stupid intake mani box thing)
rear CRX Si swaybar
CRX dash/seats/arm rest...we'll see
Tiki shift knob
extended road race shifter that was even FURTHER extended and powdercoated rainbow flake black
tokiko blues with skunk 2 coilover sleeves...i'll keep these for when the konis it has go bad
thanks for reading my thread
anyone know what these are offhand? haha i can't figure it out and they're definitely NOT bbs rs'

I also have some extra money coming in, so I think I'm going to do a tune up on it, get new wheel bearings, install the new extended lugs that i have and get some rear camber/toe components. Then I'll probably tear into the exhaust to keep the vibrating to a minimum where it's rubbing the underside of the car
Yours?
(just dirty from some button up work before a drift event)
rice rat haha
waiting on the UPS dude...
HOPE it wasn't fuel of gas.. :roll:
did it come with a new fuel pump.... :?:
Next on my list is a tune up which I'm sure I could use
hopefully should have a gas tank by the end of the week. i might install my extended shifter if I don't get the tank and need something to do...i'm getting bored driving this corolla around haha
Hopefully this thing gets running smoothly soon.
I was putting my new belts on last night ..
if U have power steering yes u must remove it to get to the alternator belt.. :idea: i found it easier to use a 1/4inch super long extension for the stupid tension pulley....
my A\C belt went on easy.... and also the alternator was just a slip on...
very soon i'll be putting a new muffler on, fixing up the exhaust and there should be a little surprise for you guys
Glad to hear your back on the road again....
