Awesome Jorge I'm glad you like them. They match great man - same color for real. I was worried because I'd seem Rev's tan machine's tan carpet, but yours is the same dark brown. I'm guessing your car was originally the brown colro, not tan?
good advice unless somebody's just walked the dog without a baggie
I'll continue the hunt for the elusive skinny armrest from an Integra or dealer wagon option in blue. Thanks for the updates - gotta love the EDM's, and hat's off to wagodizzle's and of course, NJCIVICWAGON1's machines and all the other guys who have gathered up the cool stuff. Next time I'm in France maybe I can find some parts. Unless they ship all theirs to someplace else. LOL
Today I plan to take notes from the speaker pod sticky and install pods that my son found. Unless he's sold them, then I'm back on the search for them, too.
Drove 30 miles to pick up a set of BMW bottlecaps to become my "starter wheels", and the sweet little steelies are going into the basement. No curb rash, just some peeling oem paint on two of them. Found them on Craigslist, 4 for $100.00 plus 2 so-so tires, 2 crappy ones. Spent an hour scrubbing them before the new tires go on. I think these will be a gateway drug and a year from now I'll have at least one more set, probably lighter and more exotic/expensive. :roll:
Update: the wheels are across the street at the body shop getting painted, new tires arrived this morning, should have it together tomorrow night, will post pictures. Yay!
I spent today putting in my rear Tokico HP's plus I started some fab work for my rear Si sway bar. The front DA knuckles were finished up and will be going on with the front Tokico HP's within the week. Oh and new exhaust and the sway bar will be finished as well.
Couple pics from today.
Tac'd these into place for the start of the end link(s).
Started chopping the diff mount setup for clearance.
thats a good suspension upgrade there your doing bro.
Is the tokicos and springs are for wagons? or you got it from another car? and pls post pics on your finished project. thank you very much. i would like to do mine coz i just wanna go fast on the twistess.
I disengaged the 4wd cuz the vibration coming from the rear end between 50 and 70 MPH was killing me! It felt like my car was going to fall apart on the highway. After disengaging, all is good and no more vibration or shaking. When I get time, I'm going to check my rear diff/mounts etc. My MacGuyver fix to my broken rear driver's side mount might not be doing so good anymore. Might have to weld that sucker into place somehow.
adjusted idle and timing on mine.
(staked the TB housing to hold idle screw)
put the seat covers back on mine
checked AGAIN for the mysterious whistling noise... wtf?
washed 'em both.
it was like you see it,
only not on that piece of paper alligned and all ...
clips back together reeeall easy, if you know how to ...
so better watch that when malfunctioning ...
works like a dream
if you enforce the handle vertically,
it plops apart i guess...
plastic you know...
copper top --> down
0 - no air & co, main/ground

the last/bottom copper line is the airco-'circuit'
i'm also familiar with the exact pin-out
Gave the wagon an extremely thorough undercarriage wash by driving sideways on a frozen lake.
Did you film it? Damnit! Are you talking about the Ice race? I want to see it up on your you tube profile pronto!
Bam: nice dude, did you start with another civic unit and add on your own 2" receiver? Id love to see a writeup for this; I cannot find a Civic hitch, just to start as a base with to modify, anywhere!
i replaced the alternator coz the old one was almost dead. cant give the desired output charge. this was two days ago.
the best part is i installed neuspeed 22mm rear suspension swaybar. i actually replaced the one i had previously installed. it was from a LS teg about 14.7mm and it was not enough. after the 22mm swaybar was installed, i went for a drive at our local mountain and it was tight.

I haven't had time to throw a real video together, but I got a bit of onboard footage from many interesting angles. Here's an unedited run of one of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REtovBvWb2E
What is it like driving on ice? I know its slippery lol
Depends which run you mean. Early on, it was slick, and caution was the name of the game. As the sun warmed up the ice, it became slightly squishy on top, and there was enough traction to drive like I was on gravel. Toward the end of the day, more melting meant more slush and standing water, which reduced traction slightly. No single run had identical conditions all day. That's part of the fun of it.
Oh, wagon love - I've got the CRX alloys and my all-seasons from last year ready to be put together sometime this week. They may not go on the car just yet (it's still winter in Maine) but I want to be ready to swap off the snows when I feel like it.
Couldn't resist - studded tires are off, CRX phone dials are on. 8) Can always switch back if there's a snowstorm in the forecast, now that I all my wagon tires are mounted on wheels.
This past weekend I...
-Changed the oil and filter
-Changed the manual trans fluid
-Cleaned the interior
-Installed new shoes and hardware for rear drums
-Installed new rotors (NO MORE PULSATING!!!!!)
-Installed new pads and shims
-Documented everything
-Stared at it for awhile to determine where I should spend my money next
