New wago lover from the NW

22172217 Band Wagon
in New User Introductions
HCW! I've lurked the website on and off for about a year and recently picked up a wagon for myself a little over a month ago. The car was originally bought to use as a work commuter since I drive 60 miles round trip everyday but lo and behold the very next week after I bought it I was let go from my job so I'm getting mixed signals from this car but to be honest I love it so far.

The car was owned by a member on here who had a full build thread done on it which was the reason I was bit the bullet and picked it up. I've only driven fully loaded, optioned out cars and this is my first car with no power windows and power locks so I'm still getting use to it but no regrets so far!

I have no need for 2 cars so since I was let go from my job right after I bought the car, I had put it back up for sale on another forum that shall not be named and have gotten nothing but trade offers which I really dont need so I'm deciding that I may just be keeping the car, the longer I have it the more it grows on me. Being on HCW also makes me wan to keep the car more so maybe I'll stick around on here!

    Oh the wing I just threw on there cause I couldn't find any detailed guides on fitting a CRV or CTR wing on there and I thought the back was looking way too bare haha. It's an EGR style rear visor for a DC2.

    The car is super clean though, I think this was the 4th wagon I had looked at before buying. My other car is a K20 swapped DC2 that I've been driving for 2 years now so I've gotten used to it so to be honest the stock D series on these cars felt like snails to me. So with the unbelieveably weak engine coupled with the nasty interiors and rusty bodys I ended picking up a wagon that had a B18B1 swap with an interior that had definitely been deep cleaned and shampooed, a very nice paintjob and NO RUST!

    Under exterior quicklinks there is a really good writeup on a crv wing and (i think) they look the best!! =)

    As a recent purchaser of a truly under powered wagon (with an auto trans or that may be a 2 ton anchor) I really appreciate your pictures of what could be, if I can only find the time, money and parts :)
    Sell the house, sell the boat, sell the bike but keep the wagon!

    great looking wagon! Love the color. I remember this when it was listed for sale and wanted it bad. Great pickup! Like the addition on the spoiler.

    if I remember correctly does this wagon have a ebay muffler? If so, how do you like the sound?
