melb: new to hondas

[Jasemas]

well funny story, i won by 31,918 views.
in actual fact i would have only won by about 6 thousand views but the guy that was coming in second place had a dummy spit because i was winning and quit the comp on the last day and had his build thread removed at his own request.
little did he know that there was a second place prize, a go pro, which he now cant claim because he deleted his thread.... lol

That's alot of freaking votes
And here you were worried about losing
Guess people are sick of the ae86 and needed something unique and different?
That's pretty funny about the second place guy
Hows the wagon coming along

[Jasemas]

We've just started up a car of the month type thing at 86dc.
Thought I'd put it up here as there was a few people that showed interest in mine.

Still doing the final touches, will be adding more high res pics for wallpapers but you can leave anonymous comments.
Wont be limited to toyotas only

Whoa wait, that's your car featured?

No its a mates, this is my one
Mine was used in a unique cars/motor magazine comparison article when the new 86 was released.
Also in this video

Seeing as I won what I'd consider to be incredible suspension I suppose I should go all out with this car.
I'll change all the bushes and do bodywork and paint, retrim the interior etc.
Engine swap maybe one day, nothing drastic though, still stick with a carb d series.
Jdm d15b is the one to keep an eye out for right?
A mate of mine is a cylinder head guru, if anyone has a D15b4 head spare I'd like to see what could be done with it

Some pics from a bbq I hosted with ae86dc, those guys love the wagon.
Reverted back to cprs untill suspension is finished, sprayed gold to it doesn't stand out as much


And finally Shoichi's wagon in japan. We're in the "slow wagons club"

Seriously jealous, just found this thread. There's also a guy over in Perth (specially if it was painted gold) who'd be beating a path to your door to get this off you.

The meshies do look good, but if you ever want some dish, you might consider this

[hondapop]

Just remembered too (but it's a few years ago), there was one of these at Boss Wrecking in Brisbane Ph 07 3390 4555. Could be worth a call to see if it's still there.

Thanks for the tip about the wreckers hondapop, I'll give them a call.
I love that wagon with the widended rt steelies, would have gone down that rd but my wagon came with eg steelies, interceptor style
I probably should have named the thread differently, would get more views then.

Im trying to find out more information about wagon sales in Australia, all the ones I know of are rt4wd, did they not offer the fwd versions?
I know 3 others in victoria and a friend spotted 2 others, apart from that nada, would have to be one of the rarest cars on the rd.
I feel very fortunate to have one

There was a wagon on sale on Gumtree over here in Perth
Was asking for like $1-2k for it
Was like whoaaaa

[dove grey 64]

One was on ebay just recently in sa, passed in at $350, owner wanted $1500 for it.
A guy that lived close by bought it, hes on civic wagon dot com.
Another mint one was on ebay in melb, buy it now $1500, no bids, dems here bought it out of auction.
I dont get it. People are pm'ing me asking if I'd sell but they pass on ones listed that are in better condition? I dont get it.

I'd never sell this. Much ♥ for it

Hondapop, no luck on that wrecker. Wagon is long gone.
Thanks for the tip either way

Was a long shot, unfortunately since they had to limit to only a single layer (no stacking) they shift them out pretty quickly, only keep high demand ones. Makes ya cry when you see good stuff going to the crusher. I wonder if the guy in Perth got both that one and the one in Melbourne, wouldn't surprise me, certainly collects Gen2 CRX's. I know he was looking for 1.
