Jon-wa-GO-van's Build Thread

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 :mrgreen:

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
951.jpg
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 :!:

    Oh forgot to mention, I think I may have the only wagon with a motor swap with something of a lesser HP/TQ... D15b6... Out of a Honda CRX HF... I getz hella good gas milage though! But she gets fussy trying to get past 74mph :mrgreen:
  • Looks good man. I want a white wagon to match my Integra.
  • Dash-N-CarsDash-N-Cars Senior Wagonist
    Thanks Bro.
    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.
  • I don't think the upside down suspension is going to work properly. You might bend the sleeves
  • Dash-N-CarsDash-N-Cars Senior Wagonist
    That's true, I've gotta take it all apart again soon, I'll flip them back over.
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Looking good. PSI's right though, need to flip them back over.
  • udubrx7udubrx7 Senior Wagonist
    keep up the good work!

    that exhaust is gangsta...
  • Dash-N-CarsDash-N-Cars Senior Wagonist
    that exhaust is gangsta...

    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.
  • that red switch is probably the joltiiiii volt surge...

    950.jpg
    for that seat...
  • Dash-N-CarsDash-N-Cars Senior Wagonist
    I put an Integra steering wheel and when I hook up the horn it is just non-stop horn-age. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. So I may rig that up for my horn lol

    Got some new rims, update coming very soon. I can-NOT wait to get them on. Stay Tuned.
  • Quality.

    Don't drum brakes just make you want to throw up...
  • Dash-N-CarsDash-N-Cars Senior Wagonist
    Fer Sher. I'd like to do the DA rears, and probably will soon. It's just so much work for so little gains. But it would be sweet to have rear disks showing through :mrgreen:

  • Dash-N-CarsDash-N-Cars Senior Wagonist
    Haha I figured, being in WA and all. Baseball is baseball, hell I'd root for the redsox if they were doing good enough.

    Just went storm chasing with my girlfriend and her friend....the wagon did well. Felt very safe and stayed outta the real bad stuff. Tornado sirens here sound sooo damn creepy
  • I LOVE your rims. Style points for you!
  • Dash-N-CarsDash-N-Cars Senior Wagonist

    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
  • Paint the center caps to match the wheels.

    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.
  • yayayaya Band Wagon
    Looks really good Jon, i'm still jealous. I wish i could have got a wagon but i'm still lovin my SI though. Maybe one day the wife will let me get one. Till then keep up the good work
