Awesome! Congrats on the Wagovan- i just picked up my third one.

Any suspension from a Civics 88-00 will work, just do research before you buy. There are forums like Hondacivicwagon.com will good information.

There are limitless motor upgrade options.

Here's inspiration



700hp Single cam d series

I love the wago-vans. Im looking to pick one up as a DD.

If it were me I would probably just throw a b18b1 ("Ls" motor) or a B20 (Crv motor) into it and call it a day and just cruise. If you wanted to get deeper into motor stuff I would recommend a LS/B20 vtec for a little more power; you put a GSR ,B16 or Type R Head onto the b20/ls block. I think your off to a good start though, just fix all the little things wrong with it (TLC-wise) and enjoy the wago-van

For suspension I would just browse TR's Honda/Acura F/s and pick up some used good suspension goodies, or there are 100's of shops to browse online. Try jhpusa.com thats where I got all of my suspension stuff.

Alot of people want to throw twin cam b-series, i say go d-series or k. B series have been done and i think are over done. I mean since you are new to the game, going from a single cam 1.5 non vtec to a b16 1.6 twin cam you would feel quit a difference and have fun. If your on a budget thats the way to go, complete obd0 b16 swap. i like to build huge horsepower single cams if you wanna have a little more horse right now id throw a z6 head on convert to obd1, its a really easy swap and you can find hundreds of write ups on it. Suspension 88-00, for upgrades, or you can go after market. I'm a big Tein fan for suspension.

koo i got new cv joints and axles. hole new tune up kit.(wires,plugs,cap,rotor,oil,filters, etc). im gonna start there. i already got some bbs wheels. im gonna wait to put the wheels on cause of the suspension is shot. thats gonna b my next project springs and shocks. i want to save up some cash and mayb just rebuild this engine (seals timin belt, pulleys etc) it has over 200k but it dont smoke dont knock, it drives pretty good for having that many miles on it ohh and it has a/c and the heat works. ima keep looking on tr for parts as well as advice. thank you guys ill keep updates
