My RT4WD Civic Wagon Build (picture HEAVY)


BrIaN EG2

Recommended Posts

well i bought the car back in 2012 completely stock with 1,XXX miles on a complete rebuild for $2,500

sadly the car was backed into in a safeway parkinglot maybe a week before i purchased it so i wasted no time in finding and replacing the fender

two days after i bought the car the dizzy took a shit on me on the freeway, i ended up sleeping in my car that night because i didnt want anyone to steal my car or it get impounded lol

and of course i wasted no time buying suspension but with money being short i had to settle with Megan EZStreets (16way adjustable damperkit) and a wink mirror

not too long after i bought the suspension i bought some Function7 LCAs and installed my Japanese Illuminated License plate

not too long after i picked up the F7 LCAs i got a set of RT steelies for free... BUT they were in horrible condition so i decided to restore the centercaps first and see what i was dealing with..

with a little help from some aircraft stipper it uncovered this mess which completely pissed me off

two coats of plastic primer and two coats of plastic paint

masked off the centercaps then cut out the H with a straightedge razor

stripped the old tint and put the RT centercaps on the steelies the car came with

then purchased a THULE ski rack for cheap

well my first weekend back from Afghanistan i was up in Seattle and on my way back i slapped the transfer case off the ground and ended up cracking the casing and locking up the trans.. soo the wagon sat for 4 months while i waited to find another RT4WD trans.. so me and a buddy ripped it out..

so while waiting i decided to clean up the bay a little seeing that it was extremely dirty

FINALLY got a new RT trans and wasted no time mating it to the D16A6

THEN i started having shifter cable issues

luckily i have a damn good friend that collects wagons and hoards parts and he had a spare cable assembly on hand so i gave him a 1991 Si trans and my spare rear diff for them and we put the cables in at his shop

so after a long time of having this thing on steelies i finally got my Custom ordered wheels in as well as Skunk2 front camberkit and a Megan Racing rear camberkit

 

 

 

 

 

so i called up a good buddy of mine that rolls fenders and let him know my wheels were in and i was ready to roll/pull my fenders so i can put the wheels on

but i still wasnt happy with the rear camber, too much for my taste

 

 

 

2ebeazq.jpg

 

 

 

so i started adjusting the rear camber here and there until i was happy with where it was and installed a DA integra front lip (had to cut off the ends because it was a little too long)

i then picked up a Chargespeed rep lip

not too much longer i was made a US representative of Gentlemen At Work and also installed my long awaited for JAF badge

 

 

 

2s96qly.jpg

 

 

 

bought my dream steeringwheel with NRG quick release as well as installed my Spoon Duracon Shiftknob

i took off the ski rack because i was getting bored of it and tossed it in storage and also got a OEM blue fender from my buddy Mike

new parts on hand for the new build :wub:

- Chargespeed wing

- JDM wagon corner lights and brand new blinkerlights

- Spoon Sports windshield banner

- Limited Edition Millennium white Mugen RNR's

- Mugen CF48's

- Bride LowMax FRP Buckets

- Engine swap (that will stay a secret until i get it in the car and tuned)

 

 

and i bought 2 sets of clean wagon fenders because they are getting harder and harder to find and more and more expensive

 

so far i have installed the JDM cornerlights and blinkers, the chargespeed wing, and i am currently making my own seat brackets for the brides because nobody makes any for a wagon.

 

going to be pulling out the D16A6 and selling it to my buddy Mike (guy who collects wagons) for extremely cheap because it has a rod knock, he'll fix it and put it in one of his 13+ civic wagons lol

 

i also picked up 2 sponsors for the wagon which wont be revealed until i get everything done with the car. im taking my time building the car and wont bring it out to a show until its perfect which will probably be next year

i try to take pictures of every little thing that i do just in case people have questions about something.

 

i used to have detailed pictures of everything that i did to the car but sadly i lost those and just have what parts were bought and installed and what it looks like after installation

 

ill post up a couple pictures here soon of my homemade bride brackets and my Chargespeed wing installed, i have to do a little bit of trimming on the wing to get it to fit proper
