Pre EF Shuttle/Wagon Questions

[sadlerau]

Crude the AH suspension may have been Daniel, but they could still handle pretty well! Had one with a ZC Twin cam, and it was a buzz, blowing away Codias at traffic light Grand Prix, and leaving Starions for dead on back roads in the hills. Memories...............

Haha, yer their not bad for early 1980's but I meant if you had the choice of the AH or EF Shuttle/wagon the EF would be a better platform.
Then again if all you can find is an AH Shuttle then no reason why you shouldn't get one.
There was one at Honbits awhile back that I really wanted but it had to much rust.

yes Australia did sell the civic wagons called RTX (EE3's)
its the Real Time 4WD version running on a D15B4 twin carb
i know.. i have 2

Cool, never new that!!

Cool, wasn't even aware they came to Australia. Are they auto or manual?

Found a couple more AH(?) wagons and going to look at them. Thinking if I buy one I will transplant my D16Y4 and 5spd out of my EK hatch into it as I'm not really going to get much selling them. Plus I know it a good engine as I purchased the hatch new in 97.

they come in both auto and manual. Should go for the EF wagon, looks much better.

[SpoonEK4]

I've never seen one. I don't believe they were ever imported into Australia. Somebody correct if I'm wrong. I'll stop looking for an AH if they brought EF's here.

i had an EE3 wagon awhile back.
they were one awsome car. i regret selling now.
cause new owner crashed it and sold to another guy that is trying to repair it. as its repairable right off now

[SpoonEK4]

I stand corrected. Are these FWD or 4WD?

[v__]

4wd 6 speed.

[SpoonEK4]

That's a cool spec'd wagon. Are they 1988-89? Sorry about so many questions.

i think its 88 to 91. my one was 89.

yea if i was u. just keep eye out on the ef.
dont waste ur money on ah. they crap.

ef has same suspension as dc2r. with the rear lower control arms.
but for the fronts. u gota change the fork to dc2/eg to fit the coilovers.
