1990 honda civic wagon 4wd

the car was coreyRs car some time ago and since its been my winter beat but i been lookin at it more and more and seem to like it so i did some work to it and i am puttin together a budget kit for it.

at one point corey had a log with a 57 trim on it and sold it.

the car now is converted to obd1 it has a z6 head with head studs and we rebuilt the motor a few years back.

this is how she sits now

i picked this up form some local kid who was in need of money pretty bad.
ebay evo3

HF manifold
adapter plate
stock O2 housing
and this is what i got

not it fits the block just nice and i have a parts wagon i was test fittin on tonight and it clears a full size rad and the stock o2 housing dont hit the cross member but it seems i will need a little trim to get the rest of the down pipe on it but the wastegate hit the cross member pretty bad so i will have to play with that. i am tryin to keep it stock gate.

pickin up a srt 4 intercooler and some 450s then i will start to put it all together

Holy fuck! Call me a retard, but I didn't realize the stock DSM O2 housing would fit

Hmmm. I think the DDis going to have a 14b on it then.

I had to cut the 02 housing on a angle and nig weld a 90 on it to clear the ef x-member even with trimming it, you can see it in the tprc pics.

Neither of my 4th gens have the stock x-member, and my DD is a 6th gen.

Good tidbit of info none the less.

;D

I did something similar with my crx, the stock 02 housing cuts/welds pretty easy for cast. Angle isnt bad either if done properly.

That appears to be a skid plate under the trans/t-case...

The oil pan looks pretty minty.

That's because you've never seen an awd Civic getting raped by Canadians.

I've been keeping an eye out for a manual trans 4wd wagovan local to me for a while. I want to get one to drive in the winter when I actually make my accord nice.

So ugly its cool wagovan + 4wd + turbo + snowtires = epic snow/gravel/ice/mud car
