OK guys... I haven't had a car for a long time because I sold my CRX when my son was born to pay off some bills. I mean I have an 06 Mazda 5 but that's more or so our family car and my girlfriend's main car.
Anyway, i'm ready to build another car and I've been thinking about building an 88-91 Civic Wagovan. I mean the front end looks just like a civic so i'm assuming a B-Series will go right in with the same mount kit as the civic and crx's.
This car will be used as my daily driver as well as going to the track(1/4 mile) on the weekends. I have a friend who has a Type R motor that he'll sell to me for a good price assuming his brother doesn't want it for his integra. If that falls through I will be throwing in a B16(won't stay stock) from HMotors along with an LSD tranny from them. Complete swaps FTW y0!!!
Now to my question. Is there anything on this car that is different from the same year civics and crx's that i might not be thinking about? Like the suspension, will the rear disc from a DA Integra fit perfect like it does on the CRX? ect... Is there any trim level that you suggest I should get? If I get the AWD model, would it be possible/a good idea to run the car without the drive shaft that goes to the rear diff for Hondas pathetic 10% AWD system?
I was looking on KBB.com and it said the 91 Wagovan had a 6 spd?! Is there any truth to this? I've never heard about it.
EDIT: I forgot to add, I don't really have a HP goal. More like a 1/4 mile goal. My goal is 13 seconds All Motor and 12 seconds on Nitrous. In either case I will be on slicks so my goals aren't too crazy.
