New guy here. Just got my 89 Honda Civic Wagon RT4WD. I leave the state for Army basic really soon but whatev.
not gonna post all my car’s specs Its a Civic wagon all wheel drive 6 speed manual with a mildly built up JDM DOHC ZC. Just bought it locally. I’ll be taking it with me when i get stationed and it will be my autox and rallyx car.
Awesome car :thumbup:
And welcome! I leave for marines boot camp early next year. Good luck
Welcome and holy shit I didn’t think there were any in buffalo let alone a mile away from me lol
pretty sweet didnt even know they made these
me either until I found this one. I just took it out for about 45 mins to an empty parking lot for some “spirited” driving. Love the handling and i didn’t miss the power steering at all. The struts on the car look new and it felt really solid for being at stock ride height. It does need a rear main seal but my wife is nice enough to take it to my mechanic while I’m gone at AIT and get it patched up. Until I leave I’ll just enjoy the car and keep an eye on the oil. I did notice a leak where the valve cover meets the head. That’ll be an easy fix and it will give me a chance to re-paint the valve cover to my liking.

I’m also on the look out for some fairing for my roof rack
Saw this on Craigslist a while back. Always wanted one of these.
These cars are awesome. They’re so ugly and were so purpose built
:wstupid:
Nice find. beat the piss out of it for me.
X…
This is my other toy. '08 Yamaha FZ-6 (on the left) It looks a little different now I removed the stickers from the fairing, painted the radiator shroud black, and its got red rear sets.
Nice find those are cool. I bet your neighbors are like WTF is that POS?
Cool cars for sure, welcome.
thanks guys.
When I was putting the cross bars on it a neighbor walked by and laughed and yelled “throwback” and I yelled “way back” and he went on his way with a smile
i should prob start a build thread so I’m not just posting up my progress in here huh?
Welcome 
Yeah, start a build thread :tup:
i wouldnt throw any boost at those p29’s esp with stock head bolts, get your self another d block and throw some eagles and forged slugs or vitaras if you wanna stay within a budget. i had a stock block z6 with arp’s that lasted quite some time on boost. ive always wanted one of these and i could never find a 4wd one let alone a manual 4wd model. dont let it rust away.
