Brian_EE4's RT4WD stance build
![BrIaN_EE4](https://civicwagon.com/uploads/customavatars/30/navatar_4630.jpg)
well since the forum moved i lost my last build thread of my wagon.. so i figured since i was bored that i would go ahead and make a new one..
me being a picture whore ill post from when i bought it in Jan 2012 to right before i deployed to afghanistan in Apr 2012, until i get back and put the parts that ive ordered on it, then the thread will start moving!
hope you guys enjoy :smug:
this is my first ever civic wagon, ive wanted one for almost 10 years now and finally snagged this one for $2500
only problems with it when i bought it is the usual dents and dings from age, the driverside fender waqs smashed from someone backing into it a week before i bought it, and it needs new axles (one is clunking when i turn)
now for the pictures :smug:

Comments
Puttin in work!
had a friend help me because he wanted to learn (he didnt know how to change a tire before he met me LOL)
putting on the EDM MKIII VR6 Lip that lasted a whole day before it shattered LOL!
i LOVED the lip but hated that it was plastic!
lol FK SPEEDBUMPS! </3
What Clearance? lol
oops
chillin with the new Thule snowboard rack
at work haha
couple of goodies for the wagon
got the dash mat and a bunch of other stuff (jdm bumper pole, extra set of mudflaps, speaker pods) from a good buddy of mine, 90shuttle
new wheels that will be going on the wagon when i get back from afghanistan!! Volk TE37V 15x8 +10
~5 Volk TE37V's (15x8 +10offset, gunmetal)
~ARP extended lug studs
~Project Kics r40 extended lug nuts with locks (neo chrome)
~Skunk2 Pro series front and rear camber kit
~ASR 24mm Sway bar and bushing kit
~ASR Neo Chrome subframe brace
~Nardi woodgrain 350mm deep corn steeringwheel
~NRG Locking hub
ive never been a fan of slamming a AWD car, but whatever floats your boat
love the caps on the regular steelies!
i like slammed/dumped awd cars just not trucks.. evos and stis are awd and theyre constantly dumped.. plus ive always wanted a dumped rt4wd, it was my affordable dream car
the hood is lifted to make it look more aggressive, and ive had people ask if it had a AWD k swap lol
i cant wait to get back and put these parts on! its killing me!! lol id have to say besides the wheels the nardi is my favorite thing i have bought so far
ill post pics up if i end up getting it, it all depends on if it is in good condition
on a side note, i think when i get back i might take out the wink mirror and put the stock rearview back in and buy my buddies Mugen rearview mirror cover and a broadway.. and also take off the mustache so itll be more of a clean look instead of stickerbombed.. we'll see
yes the struts will work from a EG, the lip wasnt bad but it sucked because it was plastic and it shattered after one day of being on because im soo low, i need a polyurithane lip.. the function7 LCAs are for a EG/DC chassis but they work on the EF/EE chassis as well
Hell yeah man thanks!!! I was just curious cause come friday I am ordering suspension, camber kit (front, rear), tie bar, LCAs So just wanted some insight on what u had cause its looks DAMN good dumped out. And I have the same color R/T hahhaa. plus diggin the white ceter cap!!
no problem bro ill help whenever i can
i knowwww i cant wait to put them on, at least test fit them lol.. appreciate it haha thanks volk TE37's have been my favorite wheels since i was a kid, pretty stoked that i actually own a set now
no prob bro, if you ask me a damperkit is the best thing you can buy for any setup, im not sure how well the skunk2 pros are that i bought but ive never heard any complaints, i want a beaks tiebar but itll smack the ground if i had one so i opted not to get one, F7 lcas are fkn boss status i love them i could def tell a difference in responsiveness in the rear of the car after i put them on..
appreciate the props, i like the RT caps on the reg steelies but it needs some fitment lol..
also ive found a guy that will rebarrel wheels for $350 a set.. thinking about sending in both my reg steelies and RT steelies and having them rebarreled and using the RTs and reg steelies for winterwheels that way i can save the volks from getting messed up
thats what im going for though flush with some nice poke and stretch.. im going to be running a 165/50/15 tire on the 15x8 +10's
thanks man, i didnt have much time to work on it before i deployed.. i still remember the stancewars meet i went to and seen, and parked beside, pavements wagon for the first time in person, i always seen pictures of his on google and wanted to base mine off his lol!
after i put all the parts on that i have ordered.. get with my buddy 90shuttle and get a RHD clip ordered and convert mine to RHD die the grey dash blue to match the rest of my interior.. also get the little body damage i have fixed and repainted the origional color so itll look like new
long term goals ive been debating after i get my sol rebuilt for 800+whp is to put the B20 awd trans in with a GSR swap and a little JR supercharger and call it quits.. i dont want two racecars lol but this thing DEF needs some get up and go.. im used to my DDing del sols old setup at 511whp, so going from 511 to low 100's is a HUGE difference haha
after that i do believe itll be done, not much else i want from it really.. just a clean show car thats stanced and has some decent pickup. maybe a full wiretuck and bay shave
i couldnt wait to see what it looks like lol..
the Volks already have a pending buyer for $3k as well as the ASR subframe brace with swaybar, Nardi woodgrain, and the Skunk2 Proseries camber kit..
but i am looking at a set of wheels that are cheaper, have more offset, and will def be unique.. i will be keeping them a secret until i get back and snap some test fit pictures of them on the car.. there is only one person on here that knows what wheels im looking at and im sure he'll keep it hush hush
the build is already starting to pick back up lol.. i have the wheels on hold and soon enough after i get back from afghanistan ill be buying all the parts again.. i think the first will be the camber kit, then the subframe brace and sway bar, then i have to get the Nardi lol..
also im still debating on taking out my wink mirror and putting the stock mirror back in and begging my buddy to sell me his Mugen rear view mirror cover lol, i think it would look amazing!
