it sold already.

Might I suggest the wagon forum???

www.hondacivicwagon.com

Myself I want a OBD-1 Beagle Wagon, perfect for my courier work. I'm now working for a new company so the Transit Connect is out of the question. A wagon with the back gutted and made flat = whole lot of room! Loads would be 700 lbs max, easy for a wagon!

Eh, I'm sorry to be a hater but a carbon fiber driveshaft on a Civic is retarded. You only NEED one when the physical size of the driveshaft and the power level induce insane harmonics. App Performance across town has a fullsize crewcab gas truck, twincharged with a roots blower and 76mm turbo, that had a nasty harmonic around 120+ that they slung a CF driveshaft into. Crazy shit, def a cool truck but jesus god what a money pit.

rawr2d2 · « **Reply #46 on:** August 16, 2010, 10:43:26 AM »

CF drive shaft is only retarded if the drive shaft itself doesn't cost more than the initial purchase price of the car

Just picked up a 90 rt4wd in east TN, I drove about 2300 miles for it

I plan to use it for snowboarding trips as well, I drive from Sacramento to Tahoe a lot in the winter, and I'm tired of caltrans chain control.

The rt uses a half shaft, and because of the location of the transfer case There is not room for the inner cv joint, you have to use the half shaft on these. But I dont see any thing wrong with just leaving the half shaft in.

You should check out the site bone mentioned, lots of wagon info. Jaker is the member with the converted rwd with cf shaft.

Here is a discussion about the power capabilities of the 4wd system

Strong as hell? Not really. They are weaker than DSM boxes and shift similarly to a granny four speed from an 80s Ford truck.

I had a near perfect 1G completely rust free, and most of the paint was great after a buff. 2 or 3 fade spots and it was mint. Dude I traded it to will never do anything with it. If anyone wants one lemme know, I can put you in touch with him

Fuck your driveshaft and weak tranny (singular):

Civic twin engine first road test

I emailed a guy about a complete, rustless 92 Si, all I need after that is a house/garage to get it into & merge it with my shitbox del sol's front end.

So you're saying it makes 240whp?

The endyne mods add another 60hp to the blower, silly man.
