so still been a while since i updated. don't have pics of the front lip up yet, you can see the rear lip on the contest on iburnclothing.com. but i figured i'd give an update. blew the motor last weekend. broke the cam in half. picking up a d16z6 this afternoon for transplant.
so i found a pic of my car on wiredonhonda.com, it shows my front lip. for better resolution go to their site and look at the gallery. and remember to vote for the wagon on iburnclothing.com!
well, i snapped the cam on the stock motor, and the rings were already toast so i decided to swap in the z6. also picked up a nice little hmt turbo kit for temporary use till the newest motor gets built
need some help. finished the z6 swap, it cranked over once and now it won't crank any more? fuses are good. with the z6 i converted to mpfi. pm6 shows code 6 for engine coolant temp, which is to be expected because it is not hooked up.....
motors pulled apart. vitara pistons and eagle rods going in
had a productive junkyard run, jail bars, molding, front spindles, wing, amber fronts, passenger mirror, hatch struts
also started powder coating in the garage. most of my suspension components and mounts are done. also did a valve cover and my fuel rail. intake manifold is next.
got some info on a carbon hood too, posted in the announcements thread looking for interest
been busy, lots of of stuff going on lately......replaced the front spindles and put on a camber kit, got the powdered forks on. the bottom end of my engine is now rebuilt, eagle rods with vitara pistons, acl rods bearings and king mains, arp head studs to hold the head down. also added some new shoes. here's some pics
powdered valve cover, white with black speckles
block all cleaned and painted up
new shoes
spare home made turbo kit got laying around
also went to nisei, saw this guy in the parking lot both saturdays.....didn't get to meet the owner though
the stuff we powder coated
my buddies fit getting ready for nisei, the wheels in the back are 10" wide enkei's
there were also a lot of ruckus' at nisei, stretched with bigger engines
the parking lot we parked at for nisei had some good graffiti, took a few shots of the daily with the iphones
wow....i've been gone for a while. my wagon is finally running again. d16z6 swapped in, with eagle rods and vitara pistons. just picked the car up from the wire tuck tonight. had poly bushings installed all around, probably one of the best mods I have EVER done, and will be doing it to my other 2 cars shortly for sure. sorry i haven't posted any new/better pics, i'm working of the cell camera at the moment, but i'm gonna have to see what i can get you guys. i got my z10 traction bars installed as well, and came across a momo montecarlo which is now also in the car. i'm looking forward to hearing what the fellow enthusiasts have to say when i get you some pictures.
yes, we did. first we picked up the project car mag with the issue on powder coating. then we went to harbour frieght and picked up a powder gun and powder. found an electric oven on craigslist cheap and picked it up. we r running it off of 120, but 220V would be better. we used a carboard box on a shelf for the powder booth, its messy. once the powder was on we put it in the oven and cooked it. its important to tape off anything you dont want powder on. other than that generaly searching on the internet for technique. it really wasnt difficult, the powder turned out pretty good, and its very durable.

good eye sir....
i want to see more/better pics.
i'm waiting for new pictures.
did you "powder coat" those parts yourself?
if yes, how did you do it?
i thought that would be how it's done.
i love doing things myself, but i don't know if i would be ready for all that.
