My WaGow build.
asnamasn
Wagonist
So got a z6 to put in my future wagon! Hoping to get wagon within the next few weeks.
Future Plans include:
- Paint the wagon gloss black
- Shave and Tuck the engine bay
- Put the built z6 in (clutch/flywheel, rods, pistons, VS&R(?), head studs, bearings, camshaft(?))
- Practically slam the wagon down (GC + koni + GC top hats, SPC(?) toe kit, camber kit(?), Blox LCA's)
- Rims (really want some deep dish bbs rs' but will probably go with diamond racing steelies)
- Exhaust (custom)
- Yakima bike rack
- Turbo (8lbs)
luckily i got my friend to buy my eg that got hit and the person ran, thats where the money will come from for my wagon.
A few weeks later I found out it was one of my friends drunk driving on his birthday.. :roll:
Gonna miss the eg though
all my friend and I got EG's (call us gay but we think its kinda cool lol, but i'm going a different route
and getting a wagon cause I want something a little different that no one i know has. Plus everyone at work is a hater and I want to
show them wagons can be kick ass too haha
)My friend is buyin it so that's good. I had to get me a wagon when I saw one on the streets for the first time :P
This is before I popped most of it out. Now it mainly little ripples lol. (looked way worse it person)
Almost bought this so I could get the rear disk break set up and suspension but didn't.
So this is where I am now:
This is where I work at (friends back yard)
Here is mah block!
The head is over there on the bench now and the bottom end is on the motor mount.
Engine came with an aftermarket clutch (pleasant surprise when I took the starter off haha)
And some ceramic dc 4-2-1 headers (another surprise haha)
]
I have the bottom end torn apart with the pistons and stuff out. This is my first time building an engine and SOHC's seem pretty
simplistic and good to start on haha.
So I'm missing:
- Throttle body
- Distributor
- fuel rail
Gonna go pick those up next week for 60 bucks!
I got the whole engine/trans for 250, my friend couldn't get it to start (something with the distributor or something i guess) so I got it decent cheap. I'm gonna go take pictures of the wagon I'm thinking about buying come this monday as well, excited for sure.

I'm in hillsboro near beaverton and 20 mins from portland. My girlfriend lives by OC so i'm by there a lot.
Dead heart, but in the first picture you can see the replacement one! I'm going to just get this thing running and work on the
z6 when I have time and then drop the z6 when its done!
Little bit of rust doesn't hurt xP
I don't think this is his interrior?(but same concept i suppose) cause the next couple pics are dirtier lol
surprisingly no rip!
guess what I found out? It's actually 5 hours away.. so I'm asking him to go down to $500 cause I have to pay for the car dolly and then the gas for my dad's truck to get it. This is going to be a long trip.. better be worth it! lol
EDIT: Looks like he wont go down even 50 bucks, so hopefully I'll have enough money to get it or I'm on the hunt again lol.
For coil overs im leaning toward FF type 2's

Oh yeah, and some goodies for the wago
Function & Form Type Two's
Blox Lower Control Arms
Wicked Tuning Rear Camber Kit
Skunk2 Front Camber Kit
In the meanwhile waiting for the goodies to come i'm gonna clean her up and get her running. Its either I'm replacing a timing belt or doing a whole engine swap. Hopefully just replacing a timing belt will get the d15b2 to work and if not i'll be swapping the whole whopping 72hp d15b6 in there haha.
btw; if you ever need something go to wek sos! customer service and prices are amazing! Ken is very helpful, let me know if you need anything and i'll talk to him!
The tires were trashed so I threw them away. I tried stripping off the paint off my first rim to find out that
they had like 5 colors on them :shock:
Red originally, then painted white, pink, black, and finally silver lol. Stripping it made it look horrible cause it was really bumpy so that
was the worst looking rim. From then on I just sanded and then i used primer and paint! Here are some steps. One of them has a huge dent and a lot of curb so we'll see how that all works out. Getting tires on them hopefully by the time the suspension comes in.
When I bought them:
(this is the worse one with the gash in the top right corner of the picture)
Tried to strip it and then sand it, didn't work too well
Primer!
Black
yeah haha can't wait to pick it up. hopefully it runs and passes smog quick and easy lol.
Haha I most definitely plan on it!
Thinkin bout makin a short movie of the trip on mah Nikon lol
My friend has gt3s that are gold with a polished lip. Pristine and with good tires, but he wants rota slips or some c10s or something,
wouldn't be the same rim haha.
I was trying to take the crank pulley off but that wasn't happening.. lol
From the back
Interrior is pretty clean, just needs a great cleaning a butt load of air fresheners xP
And here is what is in the trunk
I put fluids all into the d15b2 that was in there and tried to start it but it wouldn't start.
I went to make sure there was spark and oil was inside of the spark plug part along with where fuel should be :evil:
Sooo I just called it quits cause its horrible weather right now and I can't really work. Gonna wake up early
to see if I can start the swap. Kinda disappointed but hey, shit happens I suppose.
