'86 Wago Love
Ocinawa86
Band Wagon
When I first arrived to the Honda scene I bought a riced out 1991 Honda Crx Si, not the best decision that I have made. Lucky for me the car was only $600 and it ended up being a parts car for my later bought 1990 Crx Dx. This was my welcome to the Honda scene.
This is what the car looked like right before it was completely stripped
So last year October 2011 I found my first Wagon for sale. It was an older model not exactly what I was looking for but I needed another car. The Crx just was not cutting it anymore for the guys night out lol. So for $400 and a 4 hour drive both ways I was the proud owner of a 1986 Honda Civic Wagovan. When I get back to my computer i'll get pictures up of the befores and afters and the treasures I discovered within. So this is what the Wagon looked like the day I went to pick it up.
This was the last mini meet right before the Wagon started suffering problems due to the carb.
Plans:
Swap out the crappy E-series motor
New rims and tires
Full detail clean of the interior
Re-paint the car thinking Blade Silver.

Nothing however to update on the carb. tried reinstalling the new one today with no luck. Felt like I was just playing around and had no goal but the wagon has been down for over two months now and I would like to have it back.
Overheating might be linked to your timing... be sure and re-shoot the timing with that new carb on there.
This is what came with the car when I bought it. Full records from the day it was bought till when it got sold I never mentioned that I am the third owner of this 1986 Wagovan.
And it also had an already installed under the seat tray needs cleaned though just like a good majority of the interior.
Seats where a little rough like I said mainly the driver seat so I am thinking seat covers or I might potentially have them reupholstered.
I am also in the middle of taking care of some rust around the gas lid door and repainting the whole car so the really rough areas have been primered.
I also managed to aquire a Rosewood authentic Honda shift knob
UPDATE Fixing the thermostat and flushing the radiator fixed my overheating issue.
Sweet man I really appreciate it. Raced a 2009 Scion tc out of a light cause they wanted to run them. For 264300 miles on an Ew1 original all stock motor I whooped their tails lol funniest faces ever.
