Jon-wa-GO-van's Build Thread
Dash-N-Cars
Senior Wagonist
Figure it was about time to go ahead and start my build thread.
What I want to do is have this as my AutoX/DD to drive while I have my Eclipse as my Part-time DD. I have a huge list of what I want to do:
-Full Coilovers
-Skunk2 Camber correctors
-Energy Bushing kit
-15" Diamond racing wheels/or something just different
-D16z6 N/A ...ITB, fullheaders, Bisi Cam, Eagle Rods, etc. etc. Something around 200whp mark
-5 point racing harnesses
-DA Integra rear disk brake swap
-Other DA Integra parts incorporated in, but discrete
Stuff I have put into the wagon thus far:
-Ground Control Adjustable springs, stiff spring rate(not sure the exact numbers)
-DA Integra LCA, with holes to attach a rear sway bar
-Homemade Injen Intake Short Ram
-A/C Conduit forced air intake from front bumper to air filter
-Straight pipe exhaust, with Eclipse V6 stock muffle(its all I had to weld on at the time)
-DA Integra 4 point steering wheel
-Late 90's Acura Legend front lip
-14" Steelies
-Custom 1.500" Tophats, all 4 corners
I have some stuff laying around to install, but haven't had time... such as:
-Rear sway bar from DA Integra
-rear Tophats
But here are some pics, like I said previously it is a work in progress and will take alot of time. But she will be glorious and tearing up the track here and abroad.
Enjoy
Here she is the first couple of days after I got her and cleaned her up a bit.
The lovely interior, before I completely detailed her. Still not sure what that red switch is for/from??
Here is the rear dropped down for the very first time. It's hard to tell the way it sets...my drive way is a 35 degree angle..lol
Here is the front dumped all the way out, but I brought her back up a few inches.
Here is the GC on it, I put them upside down because it just seemed like a better idea...still not sure if this will work like this?
and the rear, the Eclipse muffler looks terrible but it keeps her purring instead of farting...
More pics to come very soon. Hope you like her so far :!:

Yeah I was very happy to find the white wagon. The paint is in decent shape, a few cancer spots but I can get those taken care of pretty easily.
I'll get some pics of the tophats installed for you when I clean them up a little.
lol Yeah it is, the exhaust that was on it you could literally put your hand on the outlet and feel no exhaust gases coming out. The thing had nearly been dragged off, and had a ton of holes all in it. I had the eclipse muffler just laying around and was like screw it, welder up.
for that seat...
Here is the front lip from an Acura Legend, it may or may not be taken off...not sure I like it.
The new DA steering wheel
The DA LCAs so I can mount the next photo.
Some random interior shots.
Rear speaker pods
Another pic of the lip.
Got some new rims, update coming very soon. I can-NOT wait to get them on. Stay Tuned.
Don't drum brakes just make you want to throw up...
What kind of Mariners fan would I be if I didn't? lol
Even so, not sure I'm up for storm chasing!!
They are knock off TE37 Volks...+35 offset 15x6.5
Another pic
Dude we had some nastiness! I didn't actually go around following tornadoes or anything but i went cruising around in the badness. But yeah NWA never gets any bad weather, except snow lol
I do miss my 2nd baby! Wish I would have kept her b/c I had plans for her as well..
Glad I sold it to you though and that you will keep good care of her!!
I'm going to, when I saw them online I thought they were...
Yessir, she's turning out good. Building her right with junkyard parts and saving a ton of money. I freaking armorall the sh*t outta the interior weekly and every fluid and gasket has been change in it. Still sputtering but I've figured out whats causing it, just gotta get some time off to get it taken care of.
