    I'd trade you the tail lights if you were interested.
  • yeah sounds nice!

    you should write me a private message for all the details.
  • You can use Civic springs to lower the wagon. There are many threads in the suspension section that will help you answer all your questions. Welcome to the board!!
  • ok cool! thanks man!!! :)
    yeah its always a little difficult when you registrate on a new board to find all the info you want..
    but lowering the wagon with civic springs sounds really good and easy!

    i removed all the stickers on the back of the car, cleaned the interiour and the exteriour and replaced the steering wheel with another one i had at my garage.
    (unfortuanetly i havent got the oem steering wheel :( )

  • there is also another issue on the car.
    it has oil leaks, i dont know yet if it is transmission oil or engine oil...
    i couldnt see the exact position where it starts leaking.

    but im sure that it is just a knickknack ;)

    and theres also another thing.
    im picking up my roof rack tomorow and i also want to get a fairing.

    but you cant buy thule or yakima fairings here in europe :(
    so i want to order it from ebay.us

    DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT EXACT FAIRING I NEED?? 38",44",50"

    thanks.
