    Hey guys...new member here. Usta own a Honduh, but that got stolen a month ago (R.I.P) and I just picked up a white 97 L wagon 5spd w/158k mi to drive around in. Let's just say, AWD is fun! Instead of dreading snow, now I want it to snow to drive the shiAt out of it. Got a few minor mods on the way (WRX midpipe, STi axleback, GPMoto fullcoilovers, '02 WRX wheels in black) and hopefully just finish it off with beefy swaybars, new endlinks, and a little re-maintence of the engine. Swap is not in sight for the near future, as I'll probably build another Honduh, but I'll have some fun with this thing in the meantime...mainly Autocrossing and Rallycrossing. Thanks!

    - Meng

    Here's the old ride:

    hey dude! still makes me sad to hear about your civic, that was a sick whip, but thats all parta the honda game i guess. glad my integra spends most of the time up in the woods with me haha. love your wagon to man, its basicly exactly what i wanted when i was lookin, but couldnt find anything in my budget like that, so ended up with a 97 legacy wagon. but hey u should hit up the up coming ice race, would be cool to have a honda geek to chat with.

    Paid $3200 for it...tired to get him down to $2800, but oh well, it's clean overall with a little rust, but I'm used to it. Anyways, looking to enjoy the stay and re-learn...
