looking ALOT better than before, but why the H23/VTEC swap? Does it really make that big a difference in a big ol' van? Don't the newer ones come w/ V6's anyways? Why not go to that if you're taking the trouble to swap I4's?

h swap is a direct bolt in..the 6 requires more work and fabbing into it...and the 23 is just more bang then the stock f..next plan is to go turbo and... maybe 5 speed...

looks a hell of a lot better than previously.

NIce to see some progress on your wagon!! Man, if your turbo it and convert it to manual, than would be nuts!!!

ahh cool... if only Honda did something like Chevy did in the late 90's and put their version of a Corvette engine in their van... 

You could order Astro Custom's w/ the Corvette V8, captains chairs front & mid and rear bench/bed combo, track lighting, curtains, seperate rear AC/Radio/TV/optional built in DVD/VHS all that stuff... my friends mom had one that ran 13's when he took it to the strip.

A guy over at odyclub.com did a 5 speed swap in his first gen and I believe he is the first one that did it..Looks pretty nuts and alot of modding..

As far as my van leading the way, hell no..I'm pretty much done for now..Just catching up on my other projects thats been sitting for a while...

Peace!!!

Good to see another wagon/mini van being built!

gotta new grill

LOOKS GOOD!! I like the front angled plate mount and the mugen grill. 

I think you should black out the rear of the grill so it'll look cleaner and not have the white showing through the grill.. Just my .02 cents..
