Hello All!

The name is Robb and I'm from San Jose, Ca & I've become very interested in purchasing a 4WD Civic Wagon. I got inspiried while changing oil on my '91 MR2 Turbo and saw a Civic Wagon drive by my neighborhood and thought to myself damn that looked pretty dope. The car was White with Red Wheels dropped & with a Bike rack funny thing is the driver parked by my house so I went to take a look and discovered it was a 4WD I was suprised because I never knew a Civic came 4WD so I thought to myself this could be an interesting Project. I'll be doing some research as to what I really want and hopefully get to meet some new folks :D.

    This place is the idea factory for wagon owners lol :lol:

    Hey so from my understanding there 2 types of wagons: 1 being the 6MT & 2 being the RT4WD or am I just confused, aha.
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Welcome.

    You ARE just confused! Wagons were available in 2wd, automatic or 5spd, and 4wd, automatic or 6spd. The 6th gear is a low-range (granny gear).

    To add to the confusion, there was a base trim level available in '88-'89 only called the Wagovan. Wagovans were mechanically the same as the other 2wd cars, but had vinyl seats and door panels (no cloth) and a bench rear seat(not 60/40 split).

    Ok I'm going for the RT4WD then.

    This is my DD also a teaser with the TE37's i'll be running.
  • Gray FoxGray Fox Wagonist
    ...so I found this clean '91 RT4wd only thing is its out of California but the good thing is the owner has had the Wagon since '95 and has roughly 159k original miles no rust, stock engine & stock interior waiting on some pics of the Wagon and if everything looks up to par i'll be purchasing that bad boy.

    Yupp! I just need to buy some Lug Nuts the wheels are as light as the stock wheels i'm using.
  • Dash-N-CarsDash-N-Cars Senior Wagonist
    Word, those are about the same "TE37's" I've got on my wagon...sooo sexy. Love the MR2 btw, always had a soft spot for them!
  • Gray FoxGray Fox Wagonist
    ^Thanks man I like the Red Wagon you have let's me know I can put on some nice JDM wheels as well with a nice Drop to it, I'm really looking forward to picking up a wagon just waiting for the right deal.
  • Dash-N-CarsDash-N-Cars Senior Wagonist
    Good luck bro, happy hunting!
  • Gray FoxGray Fox Wagonist
    Still haven't found anything :( I guess this gives me money/time to buy body kit for my Duece...
  • simplyhondasimplyhonda Council Member
    You'll find it! That RT4WD gets in your blood quick.
  • Gray FoxGray Fox Wagonist
    No luck yet you guys :( I have money saved up BUT everytime i'm on the MR2 forums I always find something I want and buy :) just waiting on the right deal seems alittle hard here in NorCal but everytime I look in the Vehicles section I always see RT4WD in other States wouldn't mind taking a roadtrip but Registering a Out of State car cost moneys. I'll try be alittle more patient and if does fall thru then imma go with a Out of State Wagon wish me luck!
  • Gray FoxGray Fox Wagonist
    so I'll be getting some good tax money return I'll be on the look out for that Wagon : D

  • Gray FoxGray Fox Wagonist
    Craigslist has only listed Auto Wagon's so the Search continues...but I did pick up another MR2 1987 Super Red MK1 with only 86k original miles thought I would share with you guys, my interest with my Wagon is far from over just waiting for the right time for the right deal like this if I'm patient enough something will pop up in the meantime i'll juss continue to searching.
  • Gray FoxGray Fox Wagonist
    Yeah Buddy I found a wagon with 135k and it's RT4wd wants $2600 is $2000-2500 a decent price for one of these? owner said there's no Rust and it had never been modified clean title as well 100% stock the Wagon is out of state though guy sounds like a older cat who's honest BUT you never know.
