It all started when i was in search of a " Follow behind " vehicle / truck to follow me to my drift events with all my spare parts / tires / fluids / tools / and food.
I hated packing all my stuff into my 240, just to throw it all back in at the end of the day and lose a few items each time...
So i hunted around and happen to find a 1990 Civic Wagovan sitting in my buddies driveway.
I never did take pictures of the day i went and grabbed it, but it had been sitting for 2 years after it was delivered to his house by the last owner.
He NEVER drove it because it needed a tail light in order to get state inspected.
So i bought it from him for the STEEP price of 150$.
Got it towed home by a friend of mine ( courtesy of AAA insurance) Tow truck guy was soo cool, he even unloaded the car into my garage.
After popping the hood to find a massive amount of acorns and other nuts, it was safe to say it was a haven for critters.
Wire up the distributor wires that were chewed through and put in some new gas. Car started right up. But SMOKED ALOT!
Pics of it when i had it driving on 3 cylinders... The front wheels were some a friend had lying around his garage from his old civic.
Did a compression test after it leaving me stranded one night at West Co Mall...

This was done on a cold engine, but cmon. #2 really...
So a friend of mine had a B18a sitting around that needed a new home. Luckily enough it had the mounts for a EF already!
Blamo!
So began the engine pull.
Then i got this mega bright idea to paint the engine bay..
From this:
To this :
Turbo!
And thats about where she sits as of today..
I am now stuck at the wiring and the vac lines hookups. Ive been doing my research here and there on Honda-Tech.com and other google finds.
There will be plenty of more updates as this thing starts to snowball.
I wont say what my plans are for this, because there are none. It was just a perfect project car to start on.
Bring on the " Constructive Criticism ". lol.
