87 wagon

[billboard]

New here.

I have an 1987 Civic Wagon.

I like cars, film, coffee, craft beer and good gin.

I don't see a ton of Honda's on this forum? Which is probably for the best, the Honda crowd is sort of shit these days. No offense. I was reading through all the articles and it appears that this is primarily a Euro flavored forum?

I hope I'm not a fish out of water.

Here is the money pit.




Its lowered on B&G Springs in the rear. Torsion Bars have been re-indexed. Along with Chedda's Auto Extended top hats. Rides like a bag of smashed assholes. Other mods; 84 sunken headlights, JDM stuff, OEM stuff, yadda yadda.





A lot more planned. We will see what happens.

Nice. Color reminds me of my 88 accord. Miss that car.

Thanks. I refer to it as "grandma gold" in color.

Not much new. I picked up this giant cargo box off the side of the road. It appears to be designed with the same aerodynamics as the wagon..

Drove to Boulder to get a sandwich.

I love these. Perfect little AWD haulers.

Wish I woulda sprung for the similarly styled Colt Vista I found a few years ago.

Cool car! NO ONE loved them when they were built but its a cool little Nostalgic and practical car. Please don't follow the "let me tear up a nice car" model for most Hondas. Looking good so far though

Been following you since I had my wagon. Always do great work with these!

They are great when 4wd, unfortunately this one is just 2wd. Hard to find the 4wd ones without rust and not totally destroyed. I picked this one up in Arizona to avoid the rust situation.

I'm bit of a wagon whore. Luckily I got the 'tear up a nice car' phase out of my system in 2002. So I'm just a bit of a restorer of sorts now.

Thanks dude! This is my first 3rd gen. They are much trickier to work on. Learning a lot.

Got my wheels back yesterday. They turned out better than expected. These Cf-48's were pretty beat when I picked them up. I mean there are still a couple of unfixable dings on the lips, but Blue Flame Powder Coating did a very good job, blasting, sanding, and smoothing out what they could. It cost me 420 dollars. #colorado

Discount Tires. Discount Tires on Colfax are good people. They treat me like an employee (in that they let me wander into the shop and all over and watch them like a hawk). The manager (or who I assume is the manager) said he will be the one mounting the tires- to ensure not messing up the fresh PC. Cool people.... or maybe I was just an annoying customer who was all up in their business... either way...



These wheels are too bright for iphone? its really hard to get the color right with phone.

I made an armrest out of old skateboards I had piling up...






Went to car show.

Not sure if I'm a fan of the Honda Yellow yet. Have you thought of getting a set of widened RT wheels?

Lols, yeah I've had mixed reviews on the color. Its not for everyone.

I know this is a stance forum, but Im more of just a lowly gentleman- in that I like my cars, low, slow and square.

Widened rt's would look good, but my idea of widened Rt's would probably not live up to your expectations.


The daily. Lowered on GC coilovers. New KYB struts. 18x8 Accord wheels. 1/4" spacers. camber kit. blah blah blah... plus a bunch of SC upgrades via the interior but who cares.

How could widened RTs look bad though?

lols, they cant. I'm just saying, if I were to widen the RT's, they probably wouldn't be as extreme (wide) as what you might be expecting?



The past couple weeks beta testing yielded Skateboard-Armrest-2s+.

Featuring trenta ice coffee cup holders. A shortened snout (easier access to seatbelt plug and e-brake). And more stickers.
