Picking up my rt4wd wagon today!

She's rough but she runs well. I can't wait to get it home and check everything over.
126k on the clock! Blue, auto, bit of rust, but I'm not complaining. Got a pretty fair price for it I'd say.
I'm thinking about getting the stock wheels cleaned up. They're easily my favorite stock honda wheel.

Hope to learn a lot about these little things. I've always loved em.

See you around! :D

    So, on the way home with the wagon it dies on me! :cry:

    The alternator is what I suspect. The battery light was on under braking or when coasting, but would turn off under acceleration and when keeping a decent speed. That is, until the light stayed on completely after quite a few stop lights. I turned off the fan and radio to save power. That turned the light back off, but only long enough for me to find a parking lot to ditch the car.
    The "LOW" light turned on right before pulling in to shut the car off, also it was accelerating VERY slowly at this point. (Can anyone tell me what the "LOW' light is actually indicating?) I assumed low battery/power.

    Gotta call the tow tomorrow :roll:

    I hope I can get this squared away soon!

    Bump! Any help? Trying to figure out what the LOW light means. Getting it towed home today :sad:

    LOW doesn't sund familiar to me- maybe something to do with the auto trans? I would say fix the charging issue and it'll go away.

    It was most likely a battery low light. Alternator is replaced and the car runs great!

    Will post pics of my lil rot box tomorrow! <3

    Here's my little rust bucket :D

    I'm gonna be doing some revival to get it in shape for this coming winter. First plan is to fix the rusty filler neck, and try to find another transmission cooler line. Has anyone had problem with their trans cooler leaking on the passenger side? whole right bottom side is covered in oil, I'll see if I can get some pics up here soon.

    I guess I've got a lot of reading to do!

    After skimming through the engine/drivetrain subforum I couldn't find any info on a trans cooler. Gonna keep looking/look for replacements online.... I have a feeling this won't be easy
