    Welcome home.
  • thanks guys for the warm welcome.. buuuut i have some shitty news.

    my wife flew in from NV to welcome me home from afghanistan so i took her to Seattle to go to Pikes Market and when i walked back to my car in the parking lot there was oil all over the ground, i lost about a quart to 1.5 quarts of oil on the ground.. i babied it back home and just went to check on it to see if it was a small leak and all my oil is all over the ground.. i ordered a oilpan from Orielly's so it should be in tomorrow at 8:15am.. ill be putting the new pan on tomorrow after it comes in, just really sucks because now my wife is pissed at me because of the shit roads in WA and my car being so low, NOT what i needed the third day from being back from Afghanistan..



    OH and btw in fkn DRUNK!! lol.. its taken me forever to write this hahahahaha

    Tell everyone the truth! You're a quiter! :(
  • BrIaN_EE4BrIaN_EE4 Wagonist
    NO SIR! lol

    a little update for you guys..
    so 4 days after being back from afghanistan i slapped my transfer case off the ground and my rear end locked up so my car was screwed.. almost did a FWD conversion and sold the car about a week ago i found another RT trans for $200 and picked it up and put everything back together and just got it running two days ago.. so after 4 months of it sitting its finally running again..

    also im thinking about trading in my 2006 BMW for an AP1 if i can find one at a dealer lol
  • toothytoothy Band Wagon
    i kno this is no help to u but this http://www.europeanmotorsiowa.com/inventory.php dealer has a ap1 or ap2 in the shop that is beautiful! silver with 25k on it (i think) has rims and c/f hood not ricey at all, im sure they would give u a good trade in but its far but its not listed on the site, they also have a red super charged nsx 1gen, but u just gotta ask :P
  • BrIaN_EE4BrIaN_EE4 Wagonist
    if only i could! i really just want to get rid of the BMW so i can build my wagon. i have a few plans that i want to get started but i need the money..

    well its going back in the fkn shop because last night after i got off the freeway to go home my 2nd, 4th, and reverse just werent there.. GREAT!

    i hope this doesnt cost an arm and a leg to fix.. -__-

    i tried to see if my shift cables came loose or if my clutch cable came loose and wasnt allowing me to put it into gear correctly buuuuuut everything was snug and in place as it should have been.. FML!

    How did it turn out?
  • BrIaN_EE4BrIaN_EE4 Wagonist
    its worse than i thought.. my cables are frayed causing it to catch on the shift cable casing and they could snap at any time.. im going today to put new cables in at one of pavementwago's friends.. im giving him my RT4WD trans with a shot tcase, RT4WD rear diff, and a FWD civic DX trans for the cables and installed..

    we'll see this afternoon how it drives.. keeping my fingers crossed
  • PavementwagoPavementwago Senior Wagonist
    Congrats buddy on a successful instal. Trackedwagon is the best. Was kinda nice getting under a wagon again
  • BrIaN_EE4BrIaN_EE4 Wagonist

  • oh sh!t those are wide :encouragement:. fender flairs????
  • BrIaN_EE4BrIaN_EE4 Wagonist
    well for now ill just get a camber kit and roll the fenders then later on when i can do the bodywork and paint ill put flares with less camber on it :)

    im just ready to get them mounted and everything proper so i can roll around with them on
  • oh man thats gonna be alot of camber lol sick. so what wheels did you get :)
  • BrIaN_EE4BrIaN_EE4 Wagonist
    pavement's wheels he had on his wagon. Motegi M224's, 16 x 9.5 -10 offset :)

  • lol i was all looking around for them those things are siiiiiick
  • PrennroPrennro Council Member
    Looking Good! Would love to see a rain riding shot with the 4 rooster tails your gonna be throwing! Love the look of those wheels fo sho!
  • BrIaN_EE4BrIaN_EE4 Wagonist
    thanks hollywood, ive loved them since i seen pavement first get them.

    thats a damn good idea prennro lol.. i never thought about that, i just need a good camera or know someone that has a good camera because its always fkn raining out here lol


    i also just noticed that you can see the R32 in the background of the picture lol
  • PrennroPrennro Council Member
    Hell just a rolling pan shot with a smart phone wuld work. Make it happen! :devilish: Ha!
  • PavementwagoPavementwago Senior Wagonist
    Mr224s buddy
  • BrIaN_EE4BrIaN_EE4 Wagonist
    ^ fixed lol
  • BrIaN_EE4BrIaN_EE4 Wagonist
    well ive almost got everything needed to mount these!

    according to a friend all i need is a rear camberkit so we'll see..

    hopefully on the 1st of august they will be on and the fenders will be rolled!! cant wait!


    on a side note i picked up a DA front lip that im going to see if i can retrofit to the backbumper
  • BrIaN_EE4BrIaN_EE4 Wagonist
    soo instead of rolling the fenders and cambering the wheels alot i have been contemplating on a certain setup that i have always loved and i think i am going to do it.. i have been getting sh!t on facebook from it but whatever lol

    so possible plans are ::

    2.5" or 3" wide fender flares
    Chargespeed style front lip
    Custom front splitter
    ARC style lip canards
    Front bumper canards (not sure what style so i would like opinions please!)


    also want to do a rear diffuser and a osakaJDM rear spoiler and POSSIBLY custom aluminum sideskirts.. some of the parts will be oneoff and i will have to do all the measurements and make them myself..


    so here are the canards that i have been looking at but dont really know which style to go with and would like opinions, all are welcome good or bad.. thanks :)

    Is this car on bronze wheels now? I swear I saw one like it when I was driving by the base on I5.
  • BrIaN_EE4BrIaN_EE4 Wagonist
    no thats a friend of mine.

    im still on steelies with RT centercaps until i can get the wheels fitted, still have to get a front and rear camberkit and fenders rolled at least
  • white86'dwhite86'd Band Wagon
    Ha he was gettin DOWN in that car. Ive seen people getting into music, but he was going hard! But with the traffic going on, had to entertain himself somehow.
  • BrIaN_EE4BrIaN_EE4 Wagonist
