tube doors on the lifted ef,new pics first page

ok it a 89 dx hatch with a lift some A/T tires , smoke stack up the passenger side off road lights on the hood an roof, a hood scope, a crackle paint job, has a ZC engine, just tell me what u think if its the worst thing u have ever seen just say it i dont care, as long as u get a good laugh out of it thats all that matters

well me an a friend put some tube doors on the hatch saturday evening, the doors had been built for somthing else an i guess were never put on or did not fit what they were made for, so we took them an made the hinge points an made the latch part for it an put them onthe car, i aint gonna bitch they did not cost me a thing,

the doors will get painted later to go with the car, most likley will paint them a green base an then go over it with flat black an give it the camo look

    what shocks did you use for the life?
  • if u have any questions just ask ill answer anything, i just thought yall might like this car since its a wagon site even though i dont have a wagon it a off road civic, i dont hardly ever see any wagons around here but i would love have one
  • the rear is the stock 89 hatch strut with the front springs off my 97 4dr civic on them an the front is 92 accord struts an springs, the combination made it sit pretty level i think if i put accord struts on the rear it would raise it up to high
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    idk man, can you even GET too high for this application? :P
  • sick ride man :shock: .. i would certanly fear that :lol: :shock:

    the doors are on tractor hitch pins so they come off easy
    cars016.jpg
    with the scoop this was maybe 3 months after i started drivin it
  • cars011.jpg
    this is my cup holder since these cars dont have one
    cars014.jpg
    yes the scoop has a hole in the hood
  • ok that would be why it keep doing it cause i would type a long thing telling about the car an then post a lot of pics an would lose it all,
    the d15b6 that was in it was burning a quart of oil every 100 miles,
    i paid 180$ for the car it had a blown head gasket an it keep blowing them over the 8-10 months i drove it i put 3 head gaskets on it before i put the ZC in it, its my work car but its also what i drive 99% of the time anyway just cause i dont worry about the car it dont matter if i get dents in it,it has 3in exhaust from the cat back with a glasspack, in the vids it had 3in pipe welded to the back of the stock resonator,an the black piece thats on top of the pipe in some of the pics is not there anymore it blew off going down the highway, i have had more fun in this car then any other car or truck i own, i love the way people look at it when they see, people take pics of it all the time, an everyone has a question to ask about it, an when we have partys we get drunk an this is the car that goes out in the field at 2 in the morning to have fun in, it just basically stays on the floor with us yankin the e brake an jumpin it till the sun comes up, the big round hay bails are fun to play with

    Wow thats off the hook. If you had a RT4WD wagon you would love it man!
  • D8237D8237 New Wagonist
    finally someone else getting brown i haven't lifted mine yet but i take out all the time the wagons mud like a bitch welcome
  • SOMEBODY GET THIS MAN A RT-4WD!!!


    props to you, dood. That looks like crazy fun. I can't believe you daily drive it. The exhaust and the hood scoop are pretty silly, but I guess that's the point. Have fun and be safe!
  • yeah when i started workin on this car the point was to make people laugh at it, i had not planed on lifting it but then i kept draging the ground an it did not take much to get stuck on stock tires, it was to had to find a tire that i liked on a 13in rim so i got the 14s an put truck tires on it, but i am happy with it other then it now get 23-24mpg all the time an with the 13in an stock tires i was getting 30mpg, an before anyone says it i am figureing in the 16% differenc of the larger tires in my gas mileage, it on goes 232 miles on a tank, the odo only read 200miles but its 232 when u figure it

    the doors are on tractor hitch pins so they come off easy

    Please show a close up of these hitch pins... seems like a fun mod to be able to remove doors at a whim... just like a Jeep or the old Suzuki Samurais.

    Also, I'm interested in your lift... please show details of that.

    Finally, welcome to the forum and your mud-runner looks awesome... especially the smokestack.

    Cheers !!
  • ill try to get a pic of the pins if i can get my kodak program on the computer to work, the suspension i dont know if i told it already or not but its the stock rear strut with the stock front springs off my 97 4dr civic on them the front is just a 92 accord strut, spring,with my civic top hat on it an the accord piece on the bottom of the strut, i call the bottom piece the wish bone cause thats what it looks like
