revmaynard Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hey guys, new here from Atlanta. I have to admit, as much as I've always liked and enjoyed Jeeps/wheelin' I never really had the urge to own one until I started my current job. Being around the parts and people associated with the wheelin' world have really made an impact on what I want. But my goal is to have a streetable toy that can be driven to work 5 days a week on the highway and go out and have a little bit of fun on the weekends. I'm currently in talks with a guy off of Craigslist about an '89 4.0L, 5 speed, 4x4 in black, hopefully things will work out seeing as how that's exactly what I'm looking for. I look forward to reading and learning more from everyone! Here are my two pride and joys I've restored/modded, haha. Thanks for reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Welcome! Where are you employed? I'm sure we would love to have another parts contact! It looks like you do great work. Any MJ you get will be in good hands I'd say. Good luck. And watch out for floor board rust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revmaynard Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Haha, thanks man! I work with Omix-Ada, I'd be glad to answer any questions you guys have with any of our products. The first thing I know to look for is the MC leak! I've been doing my research! The 89 is appealing since I'll have the good transfer case and 4.0L, not to mention I might not have the $#!&ty Peugeot tranny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbrand Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 '89 is a crap shoot when it comes to the transmission. Hope you get luckier than I did! Also, I love that Civic Wagon - details please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revmaynard Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Yea, I hope I get lucky, too! I'm already lucky there is a 4x4 around, most decent buys I've seen are 2wd! The wagon? Well it's come from completely stock to where it's at now. Run down of mods as follows from what I can remember right now: 1988 Civic wagon DX Engine: B18b Integra DOHC- rebuilt. Currently has about 23k miles. Ebay header - 4-2-1 Full exhaust 2.5" - Borla XS power muffler Suspension: Skunk 2 front shocks Skunk2 springs & sleeves Homemade extended top hats in the rear New oem rear shocks Wicked Tuning adjustable toe links Wheels: Stock steelies re-barreled 15x8 0 offset 195/50 rear Kuhmo's 195/45 front Nexxen RT4wd center caps Exterior: Repainted with paint matched bumpers Front JDM bumper Tinted amber corners EDM tails OEM roofrack (not in pictures) Stickers Interior: DC Intergra seats NRG 2.5 quick release & short hub 1991 Momo Veloce (period correct for my car) Rockford 6.5s in the doors Sony Xplod headunit Not installed rear speaker pods/Sony Xplod speakers Short shifter with 2.5lb shift knob Here she is stock in all her glory. And the Cuda. (front of the driveway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 :dunce: Aww man. I had hopes that the civic had a giant turbo and ran 11s or 12s down the 1/4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revmaynard Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Haha, na, not right now. The reason I want an MJ (besides being awesome) is so I can DD it for a month or two while I pull the motor from the wagon and throw in a 2.3L NA Vtec build. I'm shooting for 260whp/9k rpms. Considering the swap in it now has been rebuilt it pulls pretty hard for a 2300lb car! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Welcome, remember you don't have to own a Comanche to be a member (it's one of the rules), hope the sale goes well. LOVE that FC7 'Cuda, post its specs!!! What's the other E-body, another 'Cuda with a SHAKER? :drool: :drool: :drool: Here's part of my 'Cuda collection :jump: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revmaynard Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 It's just a slant six car I bought with 300k original miles. Right now it's got a 225 thats bored .30 over with an aluminum 4bbl intake and carb. I've got a 440 that I need to rebuild for it, but I'm trying to get my dad to trade his 340 for it. haha That's his '71 with a 340 slapstick he's had since '81. I've got a bunch of Cuda collectibles but nothing like yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 ...I've got a bunch of Cuda collectibles but nothing like yours! Yeah, but you have the one that counts. My brother bought a '72 340 four speed back in 1980, that's when my obsession started. I've always wanted an AAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revmaynard Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hahaha, I guess that's a good point. I've loved the AAR since I was a kid, and I really enjoy road racing so an AAR is a prime example of what a muscle car is capable of to me. Straight lines are cool, but having that wide menacing machine screaming up behind you in a turn is something else! :) Thanks for the warm welcome!
