Well, I little update. I finally got some rims other than the stock RT's which I don't really care for. I also lowered the car again, back to where I want it, I just need to make myself a set of tophats cause my rear struts are bottoming out. I'm also looking at getting some 87-89 accord struts from somewhere to replace the crx ones I have. Here's a pic of the car as it sits right now.
Don't know the specs on them. Just 15's. I just did some more work to the suspension, installed 1" front tophats, 1.5" rear tophats and 87 front accord struts. Made the car ride way better. I also put on new brakes on the front. 11.1" ITR front rotors and calipers with adaptor spacers to space the calipers out. Car stops and rides so much better. Just needing new siped tires for winter driving.
Just build a new header for my wagon. Damaged the old one more than I cared to drive it on. Had a cheap 4-2-1 header laying around so I modded the lower half to fit the RT. Turned out pretty good. Can't wait to get the Y8 intake manifold and zc cam installed to get the full potential of the header.
I finished up my header today, ended up welding the upper and lower sections together. When I squeezed the two pipes together I tweaked the flange and I ended up having a nasty exhaust leak. All fixed now. I also installed some Wicked Tuning rear toe adjusters cause my toe wouldn't go in far enough to get the tires straight. And did a manual alignment using some string and Jack stands. Drives much better now.
Got a few more updates. Spare valve cover is at the paint booth, I'm color matching it to the car. Its been sand blasted and is just waiting for paint.
Then I have a few parts awaiting install here soon.
how is the wicked toe kit working out for you? I've read that they were too short for ef's. i'm maxed out as well. be nice to get a little more adjustment.
Got a bunch of updates since I haven't been on here in like FOREVER
Got the valve cover painted and the ecu cover
Custom obd1 distributor adaptors
New rear camber arms
Got the new exhaust done
Hit a mile marker
Helped a buddy move
New Y8 Intake manifold bored out to 60mm to match the b18b1 throttle body
Snapped my timing belt
Ended up having to replace the cylinder 2 valves, put in a new cam seal (oem honda). I'm still waiting on a new fuel rail and cold air intake for the y8 intake manifold. I'm running full obd1 now and have been tweaking the tune for the last month or so getting the high compression running the way I want. They are a lot more difficult than turbo motors.
Well, it's been forever since I've been on here. I still have my wagon. Still doing lots to it. I T-bone'd a 04 Stratus last week with it and took out my bumper, but totalled the Stratus. No frame damage on the wagon, found a replacement bumper and impact beam locally so I'll be getting that stuff on this next week along with some new paint to freshen the body up and fixing some dings/dents. Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure.

Looks like you have some overspray to clean up. I like the color though. Get a white roof rack and it'll be a smurfmobile.
