    I plan on it if I find an armrest at the junkyard. Ah, nice. 14's would be nice but I like'em anyways.

    Good luck on the find. They're the easiest to source in my opinion. Pics once its in Sir!

    More random pics from today.

    C Pillar bar makes a difference in these old flexible wagons.

    Where did you find the c-pillar bar?

    At a shop near Portland OR. It should be the same as the ED Hatch and Sedan. I overpaid but I wanted it now, haha. Works great in the wagons btw. You just have to flip it up instead of down if you want to keep your rear headrests. Or if you plan to have people in the back so they don't band their noggins on it if anything happened.
  • Test fitting some wheels to see what offset and size I should run. Im thinking some 7.5x15 +20 offset with some spacers in the rear. The front pokes too much with +15 offset and where my ride height is now Is perfect. The rears dont rub at all with +15 offset, so I'll get +20 and add a 5mm spacer to just the rear. I wont have to have ridiculous camber either. Heres some pics.


    15x7.5 60r tires +15 off rear is perfect.

    Only have those but you can see the excessive front poke.

  • I'm currently trying to do a mild tuck, do you have any pointers? More specificly pictures on were you mounted your fuel fillter and fuse box? Thanks for any help!

    Fuse box is behind my glove box. Fuel filter is in its stock location. Pull you intake mani and just start unwrapping the stock harness bit by bit and re routing where looms come from the main part of the engine harness. What makes the most difference is moving the fuse box, and two main engine harness plugs into the cabin.

    Funny to see that over here in Europe we want the USDM stuff and in the US they want the EDM stuff.
    I would kill for USDM fenders, corners, taillights, rearbumper and a plateholder.

    Too bad shipping would be more than the parts cost.
  • Swap'd-DSwap'd-D Wagonist
    If you want a USDM plateholder I could help you out!

    I was reading about that in Honda tuning. People in Japan are after usdm stuff and thats pretty much as legit as you can get there. Ive wanted these tail lights for so long.
  • VladiVladi Senior Wagonist
    JDM is the other big thing over here, it's either full of JDM options or USDM to be cool.
    I'll be busy rebuilding the body first, decided not to buy too many goodies till it's back on the roads again :P
  • Swap'd-DSwap'd-D Wagonist
    Yeah, haha, whatever is rare. I like rare things and actually like the way some things look more. If you ever want some stuff I can help you out man!

    More pics btw!

    Putting the short hub in.

    Love the wheel looks good. LED dome light is the best 5 dolla upgrade. Did you do the LED swap in the hatch to?

    Thanks! Dome light is amazing. Have to get the one for the hatch still. Will be ultimate! Finally spring!

  • have you had any issues with your dome light? I love mine, but it only flips on about 1/4 of the time. It seems like the door switch needs to be in the exact position or it won't fully turn on, otherwise it's only about 10% on, not enough to light anything.

    Been a little while. Busy with work and shit so heres some updates!

    Had gotten some old Enkies and done a bit of bodywork. Still primer sealing it and fixing little dings when I have time.

    Got tired of bouncing and these ride excellent. Body roll is much better, just need bushings now.

    Found a set of wheels with practically brand new tires for a steal. 15x8 0 offset 165/50R Next tire they get tires they'll be 175/50R
