Hello wagoneers!
So last week (3/7/12) I picked up my first honda and of course its a 91 wagon! Took a 6 hour round trip to pick it up. Came with function/form coilovers. It rides better than all of my previous cars with coilovers so thats a plus. Previous owner threw in extra mud gaurds, speaker pods, axle, and clutch.
Heres the first picture i took of it filling up before the trip back home
The next day i brought it to work and hit it with a clay bar and a good waxing
Heres before clay&wax i dont know if you can actually tell but the paint was dull.
after clay bar
and heres after wax
wax on wax off lol
Sorta cleaned up the seats. heres passenger before and after
clay wax scrub after this picture i maxed out the coilovers. i want to go lower any ideas how? besides getting a new setup haha
My friend with the domowagon had a bike rack laying around so i picked that up from him
Picked up front and rear camber kit. Excuse my girlfriends hand on the right haha
also got some checkered duct tape. im not sure if i like this or not?
Well! thats all i have for now haha. still needa get some engine service done to it.
The wheels im planning on getting are the Rota Shakotans. i was going to get the 15x8 but im going to try and look for the 15x9s first.

Headliner
Exterior:
bike rack
Wheels/tire/suspension:
Form/function coilovers (F1)

Sorry to be immature and point out a simple spelling error, but god this made me laugh(also a sign of immaturity).
Lmao didn't notice that stupid spell check haha my bad guys
Picked up the wheels today! and HIDs :]
Sorry i like to take pictures of everything haha
Take those out and adjust the bottom mount all the way up and then lower the spring down.
Should be able to drag rear mudflap with approximate to OEM wheel dimensions.
I was actually thinking about doing that! Haha. I've just been lazy to take it apart. I'll probably give it a try tonight
In my opinion its still not low enough for me haha. coming from an xb and miata that were about an inch off the floor its not the same. These things are hard to get down to earth. or maybe its just the coils i have :[
This was how low my xb was. i want it this low! haha
Anyways ill post pics tomorrow in daylight!
Everyone figured out that adjusting the lower mount UP the shock was an amazing idea.
Its mostly the back I've always had trouble with getting it low. The front with my full coils is an inch or so from maxed and with it maxed i'd have my volvo lip on the ground.
Stoked to see the new ride height! And those wheels on there too. Had a soft spot for those wheels since i saw the white wagon on stancenation with them. - offset and such. CRAZYYYY fit that guy pulled off.
Tires are mounted and on the car! Will have pics up tonight
before. sold the gsr blades btw
after!
the pretty side
ugly side (painted doors. probably rattle canned from PO)
EDIT:: nevermind, theyre hayashi streets.. Might look into getting a set after deployment and have the face and lip mirror polished
Great looking car! I have no idea where you guys find these clean cars - here in CO, all the Wagos are rotten!
- Rob
lol my car is originally from CO. has some rusty spots
the pretty side
I can barely help myself when I see a ♥wagon on Shakotons...♥
BALLA!
Installed a new clutch cable since the one that was in the car wasn't even made for the car :?
Also got an EFI service with BG 44k. Drives a heck of a lot smoother now esp with the new clutch cable.
Picked up a volvo lip then put the lip i had on under it haha
after a drive through crappy roads where i live this happened. It was only on with zip ties so maybe ill figure something out later to keep it on.
Bought some wheel stuff also.
NRG lug nuts, 25mm and 15mm spacers, and extended studs.
heat gun&hammered flat fenders before and after i installed the 25mm spacer and lugs
i still need to install the front 15mm spacers and studs.
