EF FTW's shwagon intro/eventual build thread
EF FTW
New Wagonist
Hey guys, new to the forum and wagons, but definitely not EFs. Little bit about me... My name is Cody, 20 years old originally from AZ and I'm stationed in NJ. I've been into Honda's for about 2 and a half years. It's been my passion/hobby since I got out of motocross 3 years ago. I currently own each of the four EF chassis. Some of you may have seen my WTB thread looking for a wagon, well about a month ago I finally picked one up. My mom actually picked it up for me in AZ while I'm deployed overseas. I'm going to AZ in March for my 21st and will be driving it out to Jersey and adding more to this build thread. In the mean time I'm building and EF hatch. I have a build thread on ef-honda.com for it. I haven't done anything to the hatch yet, just bought a bunch of stuff for it while I'm overseas. Anyways, just figured I'd start a build thread/intro on my wagon.
The wagon is a '90 RT4WD in pretty good condition. I can only tell from the pics my mom has emailed me, but she even says it's really nice. (she knows a little bit about Honda's lol) Unfortunately the 4WD setup has been replaced by a 2WD B series. Nice part though is it's a semi built B series. Original interior is all there and in nice shape (driver side seat being the exception of course). Don't really have much else to say about the car since I haven't even seen it in person yet. Plans for right now are to convert it back to 4WD and put a set of low offset wheels on it. Keep is clean and simple basically. I'm probably going to do a B2D conversion though so I can still use the B series motor that's in it AND retain the 4WD! That's all I really have for right now. Let me know what you guys think. And now for some pics...
And the money shot...
Those are all the pics I have of the car. Like I said, I'll update this when I get the car out to where I live and can work on it and what not. In the meantime, here's a few pics of my other cars. Hope you guys don't mind.
Here's the hatch I'm currently working on. '90 si, nice interior with a blown a6 (not my doing).
My first EF, second honda. Traded my eg hatch for this. '91 CRX si.
And my favorite right now, my '90 sedan EX. It's my mom's daily right now.
And lastly, my other toys. Recently this last year I decided I wanted to get back into motocross. My dad bought me the pickup as a gift and I got myself another bike. '85 Toyota pickup, carb'd 22r, original paint and I'm the SECOND owner! The bike is a 2012 YZ250.

Hahaha I was wondering if someone was going to call me out on that. :P Yeah not sure what his reason was for taking out the 4WD. Oh well, I was able to source all the pieces to put it back already. Just gotta wait to get the damn car now.
I'm curious to see how the b2d works out. I've wondered why noone has done it yet.
I'll just miss the snow this year by the time I get the car out to Jersey. Definitely be fun for next year though! Funny to watch youtube videos of wagons drifting. haha I'm stoked to get the car!
a sedan is next on my list
