The hunt for a new front bumper has started. The stock one is not that bad but looks like it backed into. It was like that when I bought it. Also been on hold cause Im trying to get my 96 Trans Am sold. I thought it would sale quick with it being silver hardtop ws6 but no luck.
Found oil leaking down around the spark plugs. Had to get a new valve cover gasket. Also looks like its time for a valve adjustment. Might as well do it since the valve cover is off.
Got asked what kind of car I had today. Told him it was a civic wagon. He proceeded to tell me that Honda never built a wagovan. Lol love know it alls.
So I finally wanted to figure out how many miles per gallon Im getting out of my wagon. I getting 27/28 mpg I think. I havint been able to put more then about 9.8 gallons of gas in it so far. Im wondering if I pulled the gsr cable and went back to the a1, how much if any would my MPG go up.

look great on the old wagon. I painted the fuel cap door and it looks great in real life. Pictures make it look black tho.
Can't wait to see some pics. How the subs holding up? I've been toying with the idea of replacing the speakers in the rear speaker pods with 2 6" subs. Unsure what the sound would be like but I figure 2 6" subs = 1 12".
Nice. You have any issues with the stock alternator? My wagon struggled to hold an idle with minimal electrical load at idle. Probably just time for a new alternator on warranty from autozone
No I havint had any problems. I had a dead alternator when I swapped my wagon. So I had a spare off a b18b1. I was told the obd1 alternators put out a little more amperage. Not sure if that's true or not but I havint had any problems.
Drove the wagon for the first time in about two months. Car ran better then ever. I don't know if I should be happy or scared. Last time that happen, my b16 spun a crank bearing in my old DA.
So driving home from work yesterday morning and I get almost home my brakes get spongey and the pedal drops almost to the floor. Pop the hood and find the reservoir was almost bone dry. Probably low due letting it sit for months on end in the South Georgia heat. To say the least had to fill it back up and bleed the brakes. Also after bleeding the brakes my e-brake light goes out when I drop the e-brake. It was not very fun trying to slow the car down to make a 120 degree turn on the road I live on lol.
