Well, I've at least sorted out how wide I'll go...

Great build...

I also have set of Oz Vega 15", do you have any extra centercap or know how to get one centercap?

[colt czt]

i dont know why i quite like the look of that wing

[Daviticus]

I am absolutely loving this. As a former wagovan owner, I definitely like where this is going. My little brother has a slammed '91 wagon with a bunch of JDM and Euro goodies, including the Shuttle Beatle Bar up front. It's low enough to scrape the bar on the freeway.

Definitely can't swiftly see what awesome mods are in store!

[bjornE]

Kabel88: Sorry man, my set of Vega's was complete when I got them and they're now sold. But I'm sure that you'll find your centercap someday! I'll keep a lookout for you and will tell you if I find one.

Colt czt: Yeah, I'm not sure if I like it yet. But I think I'll buy it just to try it out.

Daviticus: Thanks for the support! Your brothers wagovan sounds like a jawdropper, do you have any recent pics of it??
Does your brother use facebook? We're a litte group of Wagovan-owners that help each other out with parts and tips for these rare cars. He can check it out if he wants.

lol this car was for sale about an hour from me, that wing is sick

[bjornE]

WideFive: Are you sure? The owner (Rob) is currently building it to an RHD instead of LHD and has owned the car for a year at least.

P.S Please don't quote all pictures like that. (You can change the IMG-tag to an URL instead to make them take less space) I like my thread to be clean.

And here's some more censored pictures from todays work that my friend Patrik took:









Started installing the seatbrackets from the stock-seats to fit my Recaro's.


NOT mounted seat! Just dropped it in there to se how it could look!


Good thing that Domo is supervising med from behind the rx7-strutbrace

[Daviticus]

Awesome to see more people doing the Recaro Speed seat swap. I like to consider myself unofficially the first person to drop a Recaro into a wagon using the stock seat rail. I have a writeup on HondaCivicWagon.com Forums about it from when I had my wagon. [EDIT: Found it! http://www.hondacivicwagon.com/bb/vi...php?f=9&t=6180 ] Looks and fits great, almost like a factory seat!

These are the only two pics I have of my brother's car. It's a '91 RT-4WD 6-speed model, with JSpec rear speaker pods, JSpec center console armrest, EDM taillights and rear fog, EDM console switches, and sits on FunctionForm Type-1 coilovers:





The panoramic shot is the most recent, though it's lacking in quality. The Beagle Bar is the latest addition. Really adds an "In Your Face" bit of attention to it.

Loving the fitment decision, those lips will sit perfectly on a lightly rolled and pulled fender.

[bjornE]

Your brother's ride looks great. I'd prefer a set of wider wheels for it, but that's just me.
Thank you for the write-up. Might come in handy.



A few photos from today's work, nothing spectacular..







I did remove the headlights and more but forgot to take pictures of it.

[hi its me alec]

So apparently, swedish girls are pretty cool

Love the wagon too. My mom had an '84 Civic sedan and I've always wanted to get an old honda because of that thing.

[TeckniX]

That garage space is pretty wicked - Is this all under your house.
GF doing work > everything else

[bjornE]

alec: Yeah, old Hondas rock! My first car was an 91 Honda CRX and since then I've missed owning one.
My GF almost knows more about cars than me actually, her job is to the decide if cars are roadlegal or not here in Sweden. (We have a law here in Sweden that makes you have a checkup once a year on your car)
And she has worked at a junkyard, mechanics-shop etc etc.. She's awesome!
Me, I'm just a simple tattooartist.


tecknix: Naah, We found this garage for rent 10minutes driving from home.
We're sharing it with four more cars and two bikes.

Thanx for the support! Love the feedback on this forum!

Today I got a big box from Germany.
My new lips for the wheels!

But....
All four of them are marked 3.5x15" as I ordered and paied for, but when I put them on a flat surface next to each other i noticed that one was narrower... shit!

It turned out that one of them is a 3x15" instead of 3.5"...

that sucks...




I have sent an email to the german company explaining the situation and received an answer just minutes later.

She apologized for it and said that she would fix it and off course pay all extra shipping that would be now.
One new 3.5" lip is already on its way to me and I'm shipping the 3" lip back on Monday.

It sucks that I didn't get all my parts correct today... but it's only human to error sometimes and when she handles it this good it's fine by me.
So.. i can STRONGLY recommend Kirsten at www.felgenfuchs.de if you want to buy parts for your wheels!

[bjornE]

And more parts are now on their way from Japan to Sweden.

I FINALLY found a set of daisyblinds! A really rare option for the Shuttle/Wagovan, electric maneuvered moreover.



and I also found a "Tsurikawa Handle" that' now on the way to Sweden:

Sick bruh!!
