    Nice video.
    Sad that winter in Baltic is so warm:( And all the ice on lakes and snow all around are melting....
  • Remembered here's another one:

    Starting from 0:22, there is a ticking noise that comes from drive shaft! I dont know how, but every time drifting in snow it starts beating somewhere! I guess the snow stucks somewhere and the drive shaft gets disbalanced? Its beating to chasis, if you know what I mean..
  • Sweet vids man. The wagon is in it's element.
  • Thumbs up on the vids! Thanks!

    I have already made those bushings from polyurethane months ago :D , but haven't got time to install them! Will do, thanks! Didn't think that it will be that big difference!

    So finally I have my engine swap done! Changed distributor and everything works just fine! Did a street tune with friend, because I was driving with B16 chip (fuel map), now engine runs smooth.. I changed muffler hoping for more silence, but it turned out louder :D

    And FINALLY we had some snow here! I was having fun all night long! Spent one full fuel tank on drifting :D

    No man! That snow in pictures was only that night! In next two days it melted and was gone! :( Like nothing happened :D

    P.S. I already posted an event in Europe topic, but by the way, on 30 May - 1 June, there is a massive honda meeting in Poland! I will go and any one here from Europe should go!

    I think Poland is a good place, its 800 km from my home! I don't know if I could go much further just for some meeting! There is already 200 participans, this event will be massive I think..

    It's 800km from my Home too lol, But yeah, to cover whole Europe it should take place somewhere in Poland or a little further south. (Austria, Chechian republic.)

    This build thread is great! Guys I'm based in the UK, I'll be looking to head to the Nurburgring this summer, maybe we should see how many Shuttles we can get there!

    So back home from the Honda meet! Fantastic meet organised by polish! About 400+ Hondas and 1000 people where there! Definitely going there next year!

    Been busy with some updates before meet, so here's what I have done:

    Painted window cleaners:

    70.jpg

    Did repack my exhaust manifold, nothing changed with those metallic shrubs :( (except the empty noise dissapeared):

    71.jpg

    72.jpg

    73.jpg

    Spent one day polishing rims to get back the shiny look:

    Before and after pics:

    74.jpg

    75.jpg

    Also polished my brothers rims for white EK civic:

    76.jpg

    Figured out to change all bushing including rear hub bearings, got all parts sanded and powder coated:

    Before and after pics:

    77.jpg

    78.jpg

    This is how my car looked day before going to Poland :D

    79.jpg

    Here in the evening:

    80.jpg

    Oh yes, also changed rear lugs for longer ones, so I can fit my 1.5 cm spacers:

    81.jpg

    Made rear lip from Honda Accord 2.2 coupe (front lip), took me one day welding and adjusting it to get right shape, because Accord has much rounder forms than shuttle :D

    82.jpg

    83.jpg

    84.jpg

    Added some stickers and ready to go!

    85.jpg

    86.jpg

    Returning from meeting, made a stop in Lithuania, bought another transmission (115 euros). Maybe some day will need it, never know :D
    So that's for now, hope that my plans will come true, and for september I will have more updates, much bigger, but that's a secret for now :D

    Oh, forgot to add some pics from the meeting event. Got some from the local photographers:

    87.jpg

    88.jpg

    In time attack:

    89.jpg

    90.jpg

    91.jpg

    92.jpg

    And my favourite:

    93.jpg

    PS. There was 3 more shuttles, but in not so good condition.

    And here is my run on time attack, it's second time I'm driving on tarmac in track, and this time careful because I am far from home :D Was shocked about times, from all participants with B, K series and turbo's I was below half, in D series 8 best time from about 40 participants (including racers with slick tyres and roll cages and forced engines) :D

    I will add other stuff, like aftermovie of the event when it will be ready if someone is interested!

    It's from Honda Accord 2.2 coupe (front lip)! Rear 3 seperate part lip would be better (easier to fit), but couldn't get it in here..
  • ilgasilgas New Wagonist
    shuttle looks awesome! Nice job, as always;)
  • TadasTadas Wagonist
    Great wagon! Always nice to have neighbors that love great cars. I hope mine will be looking as good in a few months time!
  • snowbrdsnowbrd Wagonist
    Forgot to add my steering wheel, I guess it's made in Germany by BBS.

    Made a custom horn button, originaly there was plastic honda emblem sticker, now real redwood emblem. Did this with chisel..

    Still have left a little bit of redwood, I think I will make a perfect one on CNC machine later.

    Some things has been done and started..

    Took out all interior to weld one small hole in the floor. And do some anti-corrosion work to all body before winter to keep the body in good shape..

    461.jpg

    Did extend the tophats, to get the car more low and save my koni suspension (front 30 mm, rear 40 mm):

    462.jpg

    463.jpg

    Before and after:

    464.jpg

    Also cleaned up my old rims, was planning to sell them, but when I got to know that they are "Whey King" rims and searched the internet and found nothing, figured out that they are rare and put them in garage for a while :D

    465.jpg

    And these are my new rims:

    466.jpg

    Still waiting for some parts to be done for my suspension! Hope this week will get my beagle on wheels :cool:
