New to the crowd!

Hey guys, new here from Atlanta. Here are my two pride and joys I've restored/modded, haha. I just got an XJ today which I'm going to start a post/build thread on as well.

Thanks for reading!

Love the 'Cuda, not crazy about the KIA or whatever that speed-bump looking thing is.

Regardless, it looks like you do good work and I respect that.

What are your plans for the XJ?

That'd be a Honda

They look good, even if they aren't an XJ lol.

Welcome! What are the spec on your XJ?

 

[revmaynard]

Haha, thanks guys. I have a rough idea of what I want, but we'll see. Right now it's just repairs/maintenance that I'd like to do. I'll probably lift is to somewhere in the 4-4.5 inch territory. Different front and rear bumpers, and some axle upgrades down the line. I posted another thread in this section with photos/specs of the XJ if you're interested in checking them out.

Ouch... that's a bit of an insult calling a civic wagon a kia...especially one as nice as that!

I like em both. What's under the hoods?

I wasn't insulting him so much as showing my lack of knowledge on foreign cars. They all look the same to me, thats why i drive a box.

Im diggin the Honda actually, its definitely not something you see everyday as a little hotrod. The Cuda of course, is pretty sweet too!

 

[Lowrange2]

I'd drive it!

 

[Jamescad04]

Im drooling over the grape ape! You do nice work man cant wait to see you start working on the xj. And welcome to the jeep world.

 

[Ghost]

Welcome aboard!

 

[revmaynard]

Thanks everyone! The Cuda I picked up when I was 15 for a steal. Original slant 6 auto car. Right now it's got a built/bored .30 over 225 in it. I have a 440 but it needs to be rebuilt.

The Civic wagon is actually pretty rare for what it is as well, only 5% of Civic made for that generation (88-91) were wagons, and only two models came in my color for two years. (88-89) But It has an Acura Integra 1.8L swap (From stock 1.5L 92hp) It makes 130whp and it gets 30mpg. Both the Cuda and Civic will get a bit more love now that I have another vehicle to drive daily if need be. Thanks for the warm welcome, fellas!

Very cool spread there. Welcome to the group. Let us know if we can be of any help.

i personally am a huge fan of the civic wagon. that era of honda is my favorite, because that is what i owned in highschool. i had a couple of 4doors, a 3 door hatchback, and a crx. the only one i never got was a wagon, and that is most likely because they are rare.

 

[revmaynard]

Thanks man, that's awesome! This was my first Japanese car and I love Honda for it. It does get to be a pain owning something/daily driving something that a lot of parts are hard to find for. Luckily the drivetrain stuff doesn't matter. But interior/body pieces? Forget it! My girlfriend actually has one as well that has a OBD1 B16 swap in it as well as some other goodies.

 

[thechief86]

sweeet. i've had b18's in 4 different civics. one crx was turbo'd, and one of the fourdoors was pretty built with cams, supra pistons, steel sleeved cylinders, lightened flywheel and underdrive pulley, Tippen clutch, aftermarket fuel rail and bigger injectors, Aem intake, bigger swaybars, and some other stuff, but looked like a total pile. i used to street race a bit.... got into a lot of trouble, and got into slower stuff like jeeps. now i have a slammed 68 volkswagen, an xj, and a crotch rocket

 

[revmaynard]

Awesome! I don't street race, but I do enjoy the go fast goodies. I've got a frankenstein transmission with a b16 1-4, LS 5th, and a b16 hydro diff with carbon synchros/7lb flywheel/stage 2 clutch. It's definitely fun for such low power, the 120wtq will spin the tires for sure! haha

 

[FlexdXJ]

Welcome, clean Honda and 'Cuda! I'm not an SEC member but i'm just a pain in their ass!

 

[bigalpha]

Go away Flexy.

I thought you already did? GTFO noob!
