    Yes it is and we have just infected somone else with the wagon disease!!! matt I want to thank you for my taking so long to find the money and time to work this out. As you know life is just crazy for me now. And from what you told me you can relate! As for your wagon little mikey has a baby comming and it will be a great addition to his new family. As far as the engine and all of the drive train its all going into my soon to be painted rt!!! I have already sourced a precision 3231 bb turbo and I am going to price a speed factory mini ram. it all depends on weather or not I can retain all of my ac and power steering. Thanks again!!!! Oh yah congrats on your red rt!!! hopfuly the next meet we go to we both will be driving red rt's!

    haha i know.... well i checked out an sti this weekend its a good price but i would have to finance it.... i hate car payments and i didnt realy plan on buying anything till spring. its my buddies 04 sti pretty much stock but has an idle issue and is throwing an o2 sensor code and getting horrible fuel mileage.... he just wants to pay it off which is like 11.5 but ive seen some for 15k range that are clean and in good working order..... so i dont know what to do.
  • Dream car right there. 04 sti's are so darn legit.

    yeah its tuff ill prolly just hold off besides 1988rt and i just did some horse trading for a 1st gen teggy lip, integra front breaks, d16z6 that needs rings, and im on the hunt for some cheap springs/struts to drop her about 2" for a good year round height. Now he just needs to come off is JRSC :mrgreen:
  • i'll be jealous if you get a JRSC....sigh...

    i dont want 400hp anymore a good comfy daily driver thats zippy. besides i have a box full of crap to rebuild a z6 minus rings. and bearings. what a sickness so much for a stock wagon....

    My plan is a z6 as well.. im not too "motor smart" but im learning, with some research...
  • turbo_tegturbo_teg Council Member
    Got the first gen teggy lip on best lip imoa
  • i dont know what it is but red wagons look so nice

    clocked her at 30mpgs and thats with a lil spirited driving and doing 70-75mph on my commute to work... oh yeah and i just set the timing last night so hopefully that helps a lil too. I have a ? does it look like the rear is higher than it should be? I have a feeling the car has non wagon struts in the rear with wagon springs so its making it ride high.... I kinda hope so cuz then im just gunna order up some 2" drop springs...

    just measured it and its a hair under 1 1/2 inches taller in the rear....
  • Volvo lip and dumped, otherwise, how are you going to act like a snow plow come winter?!

    May as well go UNDER the snow, and push it over the top. Going over it is overrated!!

    I knew it was too good to be true.
  • 90shuttle90shuttle Senior Wagonist
    i have some extra stock 2wd springs laying around :)
  • turbo_tegturbo_teg Council Member
    eh no worry.
  • I got dibs after Bill!=]
    Soo Clean! It make me want to cry!

    haha i have had my eye on a newer subie but i gotta stick to my plan and wait till spring time. I want to be able to just buy the subie and then worry about selling the wagon. but im still loving her i have put about 2k miles on her and its been great im getting about 26-28mpgs and its nice driving a car thats not on its nuts. the rear struts do make a lil noise and the exhaust has a lil rattle but its nothing to me. now if i can just keep her stock and not lower the bitch
  • Hahaha it feels akward at times being a stock height(monster truck)
  • 90shuttle90shuttle Senior Wagonist
    don't try to fight it man!

    DROP HER! 8)
  • Nice find! makes me watn my wago back..=[
