    They aren't on yet, for two reasons, I haven't had time, and I love that when I park in the garage, and get out of the car, I came smell the smell of new tires!

    holy brightness! Looks great too. You going to raise it back up? How much taller are the tires compared to your 15s?
  • 90 RT4WD (Cody)90 RT4WD (Cody) Senior Wagonist
    I was thinking about stock springs, I have the original set off the wagOn haha :)

    They are the same height to the tenth of an inch, Nick looked it up, and compared the tire sizes, when I bought them...
    The 15's are like 1.5 inches wider haha They are pretty bright white.. I already want to paint those little black circles in...

    A little history, this was my last civic, 1989 civic dx stock, other than H&R springs, 89 prelude wheels, and short shifter. It was a tan interior, with full center console, and arm rest, and speaker pods. Should have never sold it.. Haha I bought it from the original owner. It had 155,000 miles

    Update: I have been noticing that some times putting it in gear has been getting a little harder/stiffer.. so tonight I took my shifter apart, greased it all up, and BAM!! A world of difference. it shifts way smoother. it just was all dry with no grease...
  • lecoqlecoq Wagonist
    What kind of grease did you use?
  • 90 RT4WD (Cody)90 RT4WD (Cody) Senior Wagonist
    I just used regular grease from a grease gun.

    So today on my way to buy a new drivers seat from Zaza, some fucking old lady rear ended me!!! I was pissed. it just needs a new rear bumper cover and support. maybe a new hatch. no frame damage or anything. her insurance will take care of everything. Maybe they will just give me the $$$, because while at Zaza's house he gave me a red rear bumper and support, so its not to bad of a day because I already have the parts to fix it. but still!

    Damn that stinks man! Hopefully you can come out on top though. Sometimes crashes are a good thing lol.
  • driftin90driftin90 Senior Wagonist

    thanks guys, its kinda a good time I have just started to get everything ready for paint anyways.
  • 90 RT4WD (Cody)90 RT4WD (Cody) Senior Wagonist
    Despite the day I have had, I was still able to get some work done haha

    I took the lower section foam and fabric off of a wagon passenger seat, and recovered my driver's seat..
    There is a couple slight differences but nothing i couldn't trim the foam to fit on one side.

    Its really nice to have a good firm seat with no rips!!!!!

    The RT4WD wheels just look so right on the wagons.

    I need to get mine repaired and repainted.
  • 90 RT4WD (Cody)90 RT4WD (Cody) Senior Wagonist
    yes they do! so The insurance is paying for a new bumper and dent repair on the hatch. so it will be getting fixed, The shop is 5 Star Auto here is Vancouver, they do a very good job! while the wagon is in his shop, he is going to repair all my dents, there is lots of little dings and stuff, install the fender that I picked up the other day. make the car flawless basically, and seal, prime, and paint the whole wagon. OEM Color!! for some extra $$ haha.

    So at the end of this i will have a new painted wagon, I'm super excited! here are a few pictures from the rear-ending

  • Thats pretty sweet. Should have called me :P I bet I could have got you a pretty sweet deal. Still awesome none the less.
