New Honda owner, longtime modder

in New User Introductions
Whats up everybody, just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Omar and I live in Riverside, CA. I just purchased my first Honda yesterday after wanting a wagon for the past few years. I have always worked on my cars at least a bit, not too big on stock cars. I've only had 2 cars the past 17 years, my first was a tacoma that was lowered, wheels, and a loud system. Unfortunately I have no pics of it. My last car was a scion xb which I just sold last Thursday. I put alot of hard work into it and had a few features and won some trophies but I got to the point where I needed to move on. Here are some pics of it:

I put alot of work into it and enjoyed every part of it. Looking to do the same with this wagon. I just bought it yesterday and am super stoked about the build. Its a 91 rt awd. It needs some work, both rear quarter panels are going to need replacing, drivers seat needs reupholstery, and AC is not working. But other than that it runs like a champ. It has some mods, godspeed coilovers, roof rack, intake, SI wheels(which I'm selling, already have my eyes on a legit set of wheels). Here's the only pic i have from last night, hopefully I'll take some more soon and post them up. I know I'm going to need this forum for all these little things that need work.

    Welcome! I had an xB for a while. 948.jpg

    Judging by the look of your xB, I'm excited to see what you do with a wagon.

    Thanks, i had a full rebuild awaiting the xb including full jdm bumpers, hatch, a japanese lip kit nobody in the US has, new wheels, etc. but woke up 3 weeks ago feeling like I was done with it and time to move on. I was leaning towards getting a new subaru wrx/sti wagon but instead decided to get this wagon as my project. Hopefully I'll have new wheels within the next week and the panels fixed within the next month. Theres alot of good info on this forum, glad my buddy referred me here.

    your xb is sooo sick i hope to see the build on that wagon soon! did you keep those wheels off the xb?

    The black ones I sold in 2011, they're the wheels on the murdered out miata with the pit crew front end and crazy ass hard top. The gold ones I sold in March because I was going to change the look of my car so I got a set of ssr vienna dish in 17x9 +11 but they're currently pending. I'm sure they'd look dumb on a wagon. I'm keeping my eyes on wheel setups on a variety of forums but if I can't find anything soon I might end up ordering something from Japan.

    Dang sweet wago i was going to pick it up, but the drive was to far!

    Took it out to get smogged and hopefully change the title to my name in the next two days. Also just traded my old setup off my xb for cash plus a set of 15x8 enkei 92's. Still not 100% sure I'm keeping it. It needs a bit of work and I'm not sure I have the funds at the moment to get it to where I want. 541060_10151089013039319_748747030_n.jpg
