oh mayn, u're car is great man! good to see someone with a beagle bar! hey guess what.. I GOT ONE TOO! just recently, got it from good ol ebay! i was surprised to see that it was ALL aluminum, super light, just wonder how strong it is. i was really looking forward to ramming some stuff with it! i guess its all for the headlight stands, i got the PIAAS TOO!. i mounted mine on my crx just for kicks and giggles
SADLY, I DONT HAVE A WAGON YET! LOOKING FOR RT4WD!
well i can collect parts i guess until i find the right one, think u can hook me up with a roof rack?
anyways great car! hope mine will look as clean as urs some day!
oh i wanted to ask you, how did u mount the bottom part in? im pretty sure the crx and wagon have a similar front cross memeber, i was pretty sure like you were, that it was gonna bolt up to the front crossmember no problem, either with exisiting holes or me drilling some holes for it. but the goes where the tow hooks are on my crx, wondering if its the same for wagons, how did you make a bracket and put it on? maybe some pics for fellow bull bar buddies

The wagon does not have the lower supporting brackets that the beagle does. I just took some really thick metal and welded them up where the beagle bar will sit. Painted the new steel and the welds, drilled four holes, and bolted it up. You will see where the bracket for the piaa lights hooks up to the two holes for the license plate. Support it there first and you will see where you need to weld the metal up too. Very easy.
Just out of curiousity, how much did you pay for the bullbar and this was on American EGAY?? I am thinking about selling my beagle bar and going with something different. It really serves no purpose and the lights suck.
Totally not a lame mod.
Did you have to cut it about at all to fit the DIN unit into it ?
UK one is similar but looks like not enough space for DIN.
It only had to be trimmed just a little bit. Nothing serious. Not like I had to do to the regular lower console. This took me about 2 minutes to trim to fit the second din. My wife kind of misses the pocket but then again she likes having her cig lighter back for her nav system.

ofcourse american egay! lol really surprised i saw it on there, some guy "supposively" from japan, but u know how that goes..=/ but the tracking number seem to originally come from japan, so i dont know, maybe this was ACTUALLY from japan, and not some dood in the states claiming "JDM". um i think i paid 250 shipped. i guess the guy has another set, coz its up again on ebay but for A LOT more than what i paid for. i gave him a offer and he took it, meh 250 wasn't bad i guess.. [watch, u're gonna tell me i got ripped off on a peice of crap =/] lol its all good.
and the lights suck? really i havnt had a chance to light em' up. meh, i was thinking about putting hids in them anyways... like a real offroad light bar should be. i dont know, i might go jdm with the yellows?
wow im posting too many pictures on UR page, sorry man.
hey if u ever decide to sell ure roof rack, let me know now THATS a mod i really MUST have. US racks suck!
Boost would be nice but I am too busy and too lazy right now. The ae86 is going to be a restore from hell. Plus I have a SOHC vtec, and a DOHC ZC that I am been talking about implanting into the wagon and just haven't done it yet. Waiting for these damn lazy contractors to get off their butts and finish my damn garage. :twisted:
Well I have all the parts here from RED CIVIC STANDARD's turbo kit. hopefully soon I can get some extra cash together to get the headgasket, timing belt, water pump, fab up the new exhaust, replace some bushings, new brakes, and INSTALL THE TURBO KIT!!!!!
Starting to get the small stuff right now. Stay tuned
They are Veilsides 17x8 and 17x9's. I don't know the offsets but I had to get the old fender roller out and roll every lip. I am going to move the front tires to the back and get some thinner tires for the front to get that good ol stretch on there.
Got to get some new wheels for the wagon. Got scammed on some sportmax 15x8 0 offsets. So I lost 400 bucks on that deal. Searching for some new ones now.
It is easier for us over here to get scammed. There is hardly any recourse. It isn't like I can go visit these POS people who are scamming me. No biggie.
I have a fender roller here at the house. The one you bolt to the hub. Nice little tool to have around, but most of the cars have had the fenders rolled on them so it is kind of not needed anymore. I rent it out for like 50 bucks. The Germans charge 200 euros to do a whole car so 50 bucks and you do it yourself isn't so bad.
dang, i might need to bring my car by your house some day
i've been looking online and they seem to rent them outquite a bit. i wish i could find a local place but havent really... you think any body shop would have these?
I would go to a wheel shop. I think they would have the roller. I can also send you mine if you want. You will have to pay shipping both ways though. Well my wife will have to send it to you. It should be pretty cheap to send it to you since you are close to the east coast.
Well since I am stuck at the house for the week with bronchitis I decided to get some things done on the wagon. Probably should be resting but I can't sit still for more than five minutes. Installed some new pads, and slotted rotors and painted the calipers.
Got the other set of EDM tails in but it had a crack so I didn't feel right selling them to Timeless so I tinted them and swapped them out with the good ones on the car.
Can't see the crack now and it has been resealed to prevent moisture in the lens. Didn't come out to bad and it barely affects lighting at night.
i actually like the look of the tint.. im assuming you tinted the inner tails as well? post a pic of it installed. i have been thinking about tinting mine for the longet time now, just like yours.
I don't think they would have the paint I used in the US. They sell special lens tint here. I can get it in red, blue, and black. It is about 15 bucks a can due to the exchange rate. one thing I did find is that Hobby shops for r/c cars have paint for the lexan cars that will work too. They sell it to smoke the areas that are there to mimic glass in the real cars.
Here are a couple of more things I bought for the upcoming turbo install.
Pivot 60mm boost gauge from Japan.
Pivot Intake Temp stepping gauge from Japan. This I bought because I want to see if the intercooler sprayer I will install is going to have any effect at all.

Quick pic of the soon to be boosted wagon and hopefully with some luck new paint!
The cars are sitting in the hole they dug for the work garage with lift 8) Should have plenty of space for four cars and work space.
Quick shot of the 200sx.
nice Nissan too. lucky, you and your garage with lift :x
hope your garage is finished soon ;-)

what did you use to roll your fenders?

Here is the taillight tint install.
That works great. Thanks to you I know it's going to look ok 8)
Sorry wago not a big fan of the USDM tails. I wouldn't mind having a set as an extra set but not giving up my only set of EDM tails.
