nice! I love wagons. I acutally debated cutting a wagon ars end off an acord and glue it onto this civic.
they are neat little universal cars. i say universal because almost everything swaps between them (at least when it comes to the civics and integras, Im not so sure on the accords).

as for me, rest of the weekend was rather un-productive.
Today at work I got the chip set into the OBD1 ecu. It seems they forgot all the vtec componets so as soon as those come in I will burn them into the ECU.
I also pulled the engine and trans out and came to the realization that the rear lower controle arms are not the same between the civic and integra and the bushings for the civic arms are not included from enenrgy suspension and in fact are $153 extra
so for $100 more I ordered a set of real trick function 7 controle arms.
than lost my sh*t again and ordered a short shifter and a billet subframe bracket...
I really gotta stop doing stuff like that

Haha. I have a tendency to do that sometimes. Look at the hood I have.

Feeling stoaked!
Finally after about 10 trips to my local junkyard (that dosent allow torches or gennerators so it was up to my awesomeness and my crappy battery powered sawsall)
Today i fianlly finished cutting the core support and inner fender I needed to get her right again!
Added bonus I also found a set of black window surrounds! GTFO UGLY CHROME!!!

Here is a few new shots of the twisted metal.
*note, hood is hanging slightly to the passengers side due to bent hinges

Very wrinkled shock tower base!

Im in for this. I got a DB2 myself, that's why my cutlass has been on the back burner. I would skip the mini me swap and just go B series, if anything.

I normally would agree however the d16 that's in there is 175k miles and looks to have the stock timing belt. For me to feel good about using it on more than a 5 mile commute I'd need timing belt water pump and oil pump, coolant system gaskets main seals and transmission seals. It would be easiest to do all those in one shot and most efficient to just get a full gasket kit while I'm at it....
So end result for $200 more I can do a z6 head with ARP bolts over the stock. This will buy me a few years to put together a B20 from a crv and find or make an LSD trans.....

So on that note
Saw some z6 stuff kicking around the junkyard and figured why not...

Plan is to swap the distributer casing with my y7 one
Run the y7 TB with the z6 arm and spring
And run those accord VTEC injectors. According to what I've seen on them they will flow the same as the z6 injectors but are different impeedence so the resister box is needed however, this makes it an easier swap to DSM 440s down the road...

Oh well in that case I would probly be doing the same thing.

I was disappointed to see the "performance" adjustable upper control arms (front and back) that I ordered were made with very cheap rubber bushings.
Lucky the fronts used a standard size bushing so I carefully removed the rubbers upfront

However the rears were a different story. They didn't use the standard Honda bushing so my poly set is way too small. So at work tomorrow I'll make some adapter colletts

You are scoring some nice upgrades there. 😀
