in case you guys are wondering, ive been up to almost nothing just been driving the wagon on the daily. putting some miles on the motor. had a random blown headgasket but that was fixed. i do have pix updates but im not wanting to post all it right now. but what i have done since the last time i was on here, i got the car tuned for gas. fixed my idle problem and misc things. actually to lazy to explain but ill leave some pix here for yall.
(i will be at The Chronicles 5 this weekend in Socal if anyone wants to swing by and say whats up)
@ bill, thanks brother! ive spent long times to get that bumper to fit right..i still have a small gap on the inner head lights to the bumper filler but its turning out how i wanted it to be!
@mega, if you go back 1 page, its clearly not a direct bolt on. it was an ef9 hatch wing that i had to cut and shorten to fit on top of the wagon stock wing and molded.
That's a really well invested wagon you have! Have you thought about getting HID projector headlights or are you staying strictly "oldschool". They can look pretty cool in my opinion. I'm trying to get my projects going, but I'm a little slow as I'm still in high school...
If your cousin is bored he can come detail my Shuttle anytime!
It's a shame I'ts impossible to drive to US events from the Netherlands, would love to take a holiday and make the trip to some of your events. Specially now...Sema and The Chronicals in one week. Awesome.
it was nice meeting you Dana at chronicles!
here are just some quick shots i got. next time bring the visors
Sexy wagon! glad to see you replace the motor mounts as well!
@Danier-San thank you siR! it all started in high school bro. i laid hands when ever i could. ran around looking for bottles and cans to fund parts. anything is possible man! right now i am actually looking to do something with my lights cause it scatters too much. i'd like to actually keep it with the zc headlights and projectors only work if i went with a full cleared lense.
@vladi wish i could make it to SEMA though i was at the chronicles and was very happy with that trip. where i stay at, the shows and meets arent really that great. the scene here has died some. but everywhere else is pretty cool. looking to make several trips to central USA for some car meets/shows that they offer.
@pizzmann132 it was my pleasure to meet you bro. had a good talk and actually enjoyed your company man. didnt really get to socialize much from being tired but that was no excuse but i meet a bunch of my IG followers which made my day some. the looks on people faces after finding out how far i traveled, haha. thanks for the photo no doubt man. i havent found any anywhere.
@grifty me either! im just stuck on tire size. those i cannot choose until i get the adapters to see how much room i have before poking out my fenders. i wanted something in the 205/215 then unsure of 40 or 45 for the setup. then tire choice. potenza re11, azenis 615, estca XS, yokohoma sdrive
tease you all for letting this thread go down the list!
You live in the Bay Area huh? I saw this wagon on Craigslist but the seller was asking too much for me with that dent in the rear glad to see it went to a enthusiast as oppose to some bandwagneer big ups
Yup, just clear coat over the primer, it looks so good in person
lol are u hispanic?? haha back when i used to do lowriders that was the cool thing for the whole car. primer then clear coat and yes it can look pretty damn good if done right
@klum yes i am. i bought the car from him for 600. he was asking 1200 in which i too, thought it was high. though i didnt care for how the engine drove, i wanted it for the shell. so i had to low ball with that 1/4 panel damage. then used everything else on him to get it lower then i bought it. probably the best 600$ i spent haha.
i never posted this>?! got these for free like last month. someone called me because i was known to work on EF around my area. told me to fix his car and get it running right and he will give these to me. he got in in the wagon he bought and didnt want it. so i jammed there after work spent a few hours on the car, got it running 100% and bam, bnib visors SH5!
thanks buddy. you know i still open the garage every day to start my sedan, warm it up to go to work and i stand there for a split second and just try to absorb reality to say that this is my car. "it was bought for a daily, wtf happened?!" haha. took it to a donation to the philipines car meet / dyno day and everyone loved it. im thinking about awd right now as everything i had talked to kept asking me if it was awd. unfortunately, no
you wouldnt believe it. drove the car every day and smash once in awhile just fine! but when i went to the track, problems! first run, the car slipped out of 1st gear on 2step. sat there for 6 secs before going. did a 14.8 @ 107. second run my car over heated and i had to back off the track. called it quits. car ended up holding temp fine and headed home (2 hours) then the dizzy shot and i ended up in a ditch. waited 2 hours and finally got my car towed home.
Amazing build bro...just got done reading your whole build. It was definitely a sad ending. But just curious how to contact you for the charge speed or sign up for one?
i am currently taking the wagon apart for full repaint and getting it ready for wekfest. that means, the regas getting done, i got some rear disc brakes getting refreshed, gray interior new engine theme all that good stuff. so be sure to stick around, because updates are going to flood soon.
for wings, i need people to email me full names, DV_PRUM2007@yahoo.com and this is only for serious inquires only!
