What cross bar are you using ?

I need a pair to put my Thule box on there

Any cross wind noise ?

Any side pics to see how much the bar stick out from the side of the car

Thule Crossroad feet and square bars. There is wind noise but you get used to it. However, it is loud with the moon or sun roof open. If that's going to bother you, then look into their Aeroblades or something similar.

My bars stick out a lot because the set was purchased for my wife's MDX originally. I'm only borrowing them temporarily. So for that reason mine are the 58" bars and not the 50" bars meant for smaller cars. The 50" bars will be much less intrusive.

clean wagon!! I regret not getting one now...

Puppetmaster

Btw, here's how much the 58" bars stick out. Just imagine 4" less on each side for the proper 50" bar I'm supposed to be using.

Thanks I will get the 50 bars now
And do the aeroblades

Wife just picked up new wrx so was busy with that
Will order up the bars today

Happy holidays

Bought OEM roof rack for my CRV, but decided to not buy the oem snowboard/ski attachments, cause I figured you could pick something up on ebay/amazon for way cheaper. Any recommendations?

Puppetmaster

Nice. Let me know how that works out. The Aeroblades look like a sweet set up.

Puppetmaster

I'm by no means a fanboy, but I usually stick to known brands like Thule and Yakima for stuff like this. Check on Amazon for deals and compare those prices to when REI has discount coupons. I ended up buying a Thule box from REI because they had a 30% off coupon, and I could drive to the store and have them carry it out and put it on for me. Not that it's difficult. Finally, Craigslist is a good place to find used racks and other roof storage components.

Spring refresh/maintenance.

Very nice

I just did new tires
All new fluids
All new filters
Last weekend

Brakes are at 6mm and 4mm for now

Puppetmaster

I need to them all too, and I'm dreading the trans fluid replacement most. Ugh. Maybe I'll pay a friend (who has his own shop) to do it.

Was pretty easy
Car is good for another 60k miles

Puppetmaster

It seems that the only time I take pictures of the car now is when I am waiting for state inspections. Nothing new, unfortunately.

Thanks, guys. I am still enjoying the wagon, even though after 5 years it is starting to show it's age with scratches, dings, interior rattles, and even the molding/end cap of one of the roof rails falling off on the road someplace. Not fast, but still a fun car to drive considering it's a wagon.

Puppetmaster

That looks good. Are those in formula silver? That's the only finish I know that looks so striking. Also, I think you need a little more pop with the center caps.

2ltrgsr

Its a custom formula silver.
yeah i got to figure something out!

Puppetmaster

Took some fun pictures this morning.

Before the summers came off...

So clean!

Puppetmaster

Thanks. Felt a tinge of sadness swapping out wheels for the winter, but what can you do...

Puppetmaster

A few more. Over 60,000 miles but still loving this car.

Inspirational build. I just picked up CW2 and currently looking for suspensions and wheels.

Question, how does your car ride with the Koni Yellow and H&R combo? Did you roll the fenders in the rear to fit your wheels as well?

charlemaen

just bought my dream wagon... you have a beauty there mate! where can i find information on your particular suspension/height set up?

plumpduck

Second that! Also, what is the profile of your tires? I saw that they're 18 x 9, but are they 45, 40, 35?
