Hello! New member from ID.

Hey there guys- I've always been a honda guy, but havent actually owned a honda car in 7 years LOL... I used to have an EK9, later owned a Honda Passport (total pos) and just recently had a Honda Ruckus (which is IMO the most fun thing on two wheels..ever)

I've been looking for a Civic rt4wd wagon for some time now, but a couple have come and gone, but I still havent been able to get my hands on one here in Boise- but I will comb the northwest until I get what I want dangit!

Currently i'm driving an AE86 and a Nissan Hardbody P/U, but The AE86 is built for drift now, and a real PITA to get around town in.

Ive always wanted an AWD/rt4wd wagon and have been looking for Subaru 2.5rs' or older WRX's but still they are too spendy for me, plus I love the 88-91 civics and know about 300 people in town that tune Hondas so I know I'll be with good company


Heres a few pics of current cars and past projects......... thx- John

    I figure i would update this now that I actually have a wagon now, I found one in late Feb '10, a Red RT4WD Auto from spokane. I Drove it for a few months, but a bad head gasket cut my summer short. I took a few months away from the wagon, and sourced another D16a6 block n head from my buddy (for free YAYYY) and rebuilt it bottom up, inside n out. I just finally got around to doing the swap from the bad motor, actually only did it a few weeks ago now. I have to say I did a great job lol- Ran perfect right out the gate, no issues at all and still have my AC and all. SOOO as a reward to myself, I bought a set of coilovers F2 T2's and just barely put em on. other items Ive gotten since buying the wagon include- Yakima rack with bike rack and snowboard rack. Integra LS webs wrapped in OEM sized Falken Ziex's. I bought a couple Odyssey underseat storage bins and installed those, and a nice Peachy Peach pine tree air freshener.

    Here is a quick Photo gallery of my last year of wagon fun!!!!! and also my AE86 Progress over the year also- getting ready for an awesome 2011 Drift season!

    Waggin the first day I got it.

    Yeah, I can't wait to see everybody there. Wagon is looking good. How do you like the coilovers??
  • sixbelowsixbelow New Wagonist
    so far so good, bumpy but thats to be expected. I will adjust the dampening and try to find a nice balance... going for a drive now to feel it out. :)
