I do, too. I think there's too much evidence that they knew what they were doing to just delete a suspension component. But plenty of people who are better mechanics than me would just leave it off.
But the part is $100 at honda and it doesn't really seem to do much so idk.
Depends; do you want your wagon to operate how it's engineers designed it to operate?
Kinda makes me chuckle. Hmmmm...
monster, I've seen them with and without that counterweight. This may not be accurate, but i THINK the '88s didn't have it and '89 on did. I don't think you'll notice much difference. It's just there to dampen some harmonic vibe.
If you look at my fool's gold thread you can see where I fixed mine with windshield urethane.

That's what I am thinking about doing to the rear dif mount also. Thanks man
Got some head from my buddy for doing a swap to his car later addition to the wagon
plus I replaced his speakers with new ones, but his where still good just ghetto wiring(which I can't understand how people fuck up wiring up a sterro), but I told him to let me have em...got a plan for rear speaker pods
Well I did half the work today, I got the trailing arm bushing out, and replaced with the new ones. Ran into some issues, but nothing to bad. Also my resonator came in! So the exhaust we be right after I get done with the upper differential bushings.
Everything went good untill this happened...
Also I noticed that one of the dog bones was slightly bent..is this ANYTHING to be worried about? *One of the right obviously*
Hopefully I will finish tomorrow...and hopefully I will fix the strut problem..
Went to the junk yard today and got a new dog bone. I didn't get to finish the job today though. I did get the upper dif mounts drilled out though, and I picked up a factory radio with a casette player in it so I can listen to my phone. Will defiantly finish tomorrow.
When I went to the junk yard yesterday to get a new dog bone, I asked the lady if I could bring my torch to get it out. Well she said no and here was my solution.
My next problem was the bolt broke in the strut nut , and my solution to that was to cut the damn nut off.
Then I had to wait till the AM to go to home depo to get some new hardware, but now everything is in. Didn't get picture of the upper differential mounts after I drilled them, but I drove it to the exhaust shop and damn can I tell the difference.
Also got my Vibrant cat, resonator, and muffler installed.
The car rides so much better with the upper dif mounts and the Energy Suspension RTA bushings. BUT now I have a new problem...my blower motor is not working. So i'll be fixing that tomorrow hopefully.
Today I was starting to check the voltage of the blower motor, and as I stuck the volt meter rod into the plug the damn thing kicked on. So I guess my problem is fixed for now.
Next issue is my car has been smoking a little. I went to investigate what could be the issue, and I found oil in my spark plug tubes. So after work I'll pick up some tube seals. I also need a distributor O-ring, because mine is shot. Sorry no wagon porn today...was in a hurry because I have some Calculus homework.
Replaced the spark plug tube seals and the distributor O-Ring yesterday.
Also tried to clean up the oil build up...one day I will own a clean engine bay.
Well the previous owner was to cheap to go buy the $2 O-Ring, so he decide to use some gasket sealer shit...
After all was said and done, a couple of friends and I drove to the skate park in Nashville. When I parked I looked down and saw I finally hit 150k
But now my car is starting to sputter on acceleration sometimes..so probably going to have to replace the rotor and cap. Then after that I can hopefully save for my suspension and wheels. Also I snagged a job at a local body shop! Pretty excited about that, so maybe paint job later on down the rode.
Well I have been saving money for my suspesion set up and wheels so that is why I haven't been updating this. But I have had an issue with my car. On the interstate my roof broke, it shinks in now. So i am going to fix that, and install my oem roof rack while the liner is off.
This is where I park at school, so no dumb ass college kids hit me car and drive away lol..
I had to changed my buddies clutch on his eg...he totally fried his clutch lol.
I have one more maintenance thing to do before I can start truly saving for suspension and wheels. Going to do the brakes, and probably going to clean the TPS and FITV since I just did that on my buddies car. Stay tuned for this weekend.
Also it rained today, and the rack doesn't leak! Woohoo, so now I can put my headliner back in.
Why lower it though? Wagon looks nice and clean at the stock height. That's just my opinion though. Fit wheels might look good when it's lowered, what other wheels are you thinking about getting?

That is just how I like my cars. I don't like it high in the air, and I never will take this off road. I'm looking at some Memoryfab M Technica Turbo 16X8.5
Well my last final is tomorrow, and I'll be done with my first semester of college ..and to start my summer out right for the wagon I am buying a mint civic lx sedan 1990 to convert everything to power on my car. Pretty excited
Can we get some more pics of your exhaust system, specifically the rear section. also, what are your thoughts on the sound it makes now? i have only a magnaflow resonator and it's way to loud.

Picked these up locally for $30. Now I can go through drive throughs
My catalytic converter and upper differential mount! Time to do work.

Lol tell me about it man!
He seems to be quite friendly....;)
What is your future plan for the engine? Boost it? Swap it?

And now she is on all fours again
Oh he is
Well I'm wanting to do koni/gc with some secert rims
Also got my Vibrant cat, resonator, and muffler installed.

You can see where the adhesive broke.
Lost my windshield washer tube down in the body...but I ended up working it back up...carefully
Gotta love ratcheting wrenchs
Hopefully i'll get it fixed at work...stay tuned.
I ordered a oem roof rack from realtimefun...should be here tomorrow.
I used a piece of string to try and align the front good.
My roof rack came with the factory screws, and I went out and bought some 1/4 lock washers and nuts.
Picked up this stuff from work. It will work to keep the water out.
And it's finally finished

I like the fit wheels, and they are in amazing condition, but I do not want to rock them. And thanks man, I was stressing about it for awhile lol.
