    im_so_dumped _ they ride pretty well one member said they didnt lower his car but mine is slammed it could go a tiny bit lower in the back like maybe one coil off i also have top hats and thats it top hats i made but that doesnt make the car lower its just for a lil more comfort... you just need 92-95 front forks and keep your lca hardware cause the hardware it comes with doesnt not fit

    503wagon _ cool. thanks and yeah it does suck but oh well.

    Hey Josh,

    did you have to cut any coils of the springs to make the Rokkor lower? Beside the EG forks, are they pretty much plug and play? So extended top hats are not required, correct? Why did a few members here say they couldn't go lower on the Rokkor or Racelands?

    Can you also give us a detailed review on how you like the the Rokkors...thinking bout getting a set myself in a week or so.

    Thanks for any help!

  • JDMWago666JDMWago666 Senior Wagonist
    Looks like an integra armrest.
    Car looks good
  • think the armrest came out of an EG i also have another one but its going into my rabbit. its all black with black suede and even has a cup holder thats can come out. @jdmwago666 thanks!
  • today A6 Tomorrow JDM DOHC ZC. will post updates tomorrow i hope.
  • Has the cargo cover faded at all? Or blistered due to heat?
  • 1.5 ef1.5 ef Band Wagon

    pics of the swap, dawgggggg!
  • Cargo cover has no fade! Ill post pics of swap after I put new transmission in. Also got jdm ef armrest
  • wagon is looking sweet! iv seen those wheels on a few other cars but they never quite have the right fitment to pull them off, yours is just right. cargo cover is sweet aswell but i think my favourite thing about this build is the custom shift knob. If you ever make a few ill buy one for sure , exactly what im looking for... not that my wagon is running :(
  • OK so I have been meaning to post these pictures for a long ASS time now but I internet sucked so I got a new provider and now posting pictures on the internet isn’t such a hassle. WELL about 6 months ago the wagon broke down and I couldn’t figure it out because it wanted to start so bad and it wasn’t trying to let me down I could tell. After trouble shooting it like 30 times I decided to pull the head it dropped a valve put a hole in the piston. So I got online and decided to order a JDM DOHC ZC. A week later the motor came in and week later I put it in. I bought some innovative mounts from fakejdm and found out that one of the mounts was welded backwards. I tried and tried and tried to put that mount in but it just wouldn’t happen. So I left one stock mount. Wasn’t fakejdms fault he didn’t know but he is a great seller. A WEEK after putting in the motor(Which by the way runs very very strong and makes me proud.) I was on my way to Albuquerque NM for small meet/dyno day. 10 minutes out of ALB I ram my tranny on the freeway!!! It hit so hard the rear bracket ripped out slapped my started and put a hole in the bottom end of the tranny. So my friends and I pulled over we checked out the damage then pushed started the car. I drove to the dyno meet and stayed the night. I rigged up a drip line through the speedo which worked until have way back home.. after that I ordered a jdm awd zc tranny from h motors online. So I then talked to innovative and those guys being good people sent me a brand new mount. For free. A week later everything is in and run great and transmission is awesome being that mine grinded second gear at high rpm from previous owner!.

    ok ill start with the motor that came in
