Last year I decided to switch to the newer aero style wipers. I repainted my wiper arms, and I’m running 2008 crosstour front wipers. And in the rear I am running 2016 odyssey rear wiper arm and wiper.
From there I converted over to variable speed intermittent front wipers, with a 95 Accord v6 icu.
( thanks to lucifer1’s write up )
Being a wagon I started with an odyssey wiper switch. The intermittent function worked but not the highs. I double checked and rewired everything. Still no luck!
Before figuring that out I tried to take on a second project, which was borrowed from another forum and car all together. Intermittent rear wiper setup! which uses 97 crv parts. After figuring out the sub harness and getting the parts for that, I bough a 96-97 wagon wiper stalk. And then everything was working perfectly! The front intermittent worked correctly, the low and high speeds also worked. And the rear wiper now wipes once every 6-8 seconds instead of how uselessly fast it wiped before!

One of the most important things I had to work on was fixing some rust issues. It seems the previous owner had a battery explode and it rusted out all around the battery tray and down the bay onto the abs pump and front crossmember.
rusted bay
Repainted bay
I cut out the hole beside the battery tray larger to accept a full cold air intake.
I also cleaned up most of the suspension
I repainted the subframe, lower control arms, brake booster, and other odds and ends.
I used Spray in bed liner on the knuckles and inner fender wells, shock forks.

About a year ago I was driving to work and pulled out on the highway, and When the car shifted to second, it just revved. So after checkin a few things I determined it must’ve been the flex plate. So I pulled the engine and trans out and that’s what I found
So after that instead of just replacing the flex plate, I decided to fix and upgrade some other things I had been needing to do. I had a seized rear brake caliper, stretched e brake cables, some abs issues(still haven’t solved yet). The car ended up being down for the last 10 months, mainly working on the suspension and brakes.i had esp mounts sitting there from my last two cb’s, and some other random odds and ends.Last edited by randomcustoms; 02-20-2018, 07:12 AM.

This looks to be well thought out and executed. Looking forward to more progress!

Thank you guys very much for the nice comments!
I’ve been workin on rebuilding the suspension and brakes for almost a year now. I originally tore the car apart to change a flex plate that broke in two last year.
And I figured it was time to do some maintenance too.
It’s only been running for a week now, so I can’t say too much on how different the sway bars feel. I had cd7 ex bars on it, and there is a notice difference in body roll. The car feels much better! But I upgraded the bushings and from skunk2 struts and tein s tech springs to the tein coilovers, and camber kits. So a few too many changes, to tell for sure what has made the difference.
