Diggin it. I say if you can get some quality carpet to wrap it that's what I would do.

Painted my wheels. Ordered some trim/bumper paint to freshen up the plastics.

Head light restored. Bumpers and trim done.

What'd you end up doing with the enclosure? Anything yet? I'm going OEM JDM armrest/center console but I like your style!

CRchris

Appreciate it.
Still haven't done anything with the console.

Thanks for sharing your progress with us.

With your current setup above, is it possible to raise the car back up to factory height or even beyond?

I imagine having at least 10" springs would be more ideal in that regard?

The V looks great! I know you listed your suspension setup on the first page and I also read on the second page what you would change if you were to do it again.
Could you be kind enough to list the suspension build you would go with if you had the chance to redo it? Im looking for a similar drop (not slammed, but lowered and will eventually put a meatier tire on) The main thing I DO NOT want is a bouncy rear, so if you could recommend a rear/front spring rate I'd appreciate it.
Thank you!

CRchris

I couldn't get 9" springs so I ended up with 8" front and back. As it sets right now the front is high as it can go and the back is low as it goes. You'd have to have taller front springs to be able to lift it. 10" would probably be good for the front.

CRchris

If I were to do it again I'd probably go with 10" springs in the front and 7" in the back. That would put the adjustment about in the middle of the sleeve at the height I'm at now. I might would go with 450# springs in the front to help a little with rub. When I had the front a bit lower before it would rub a good bit going over bumps. As it sits right now I have minimal rub. It rides very similar to stock. Just a bit stiffer. It's nice. Not bouncy at all.

So you would use all the same components just with 10" front and 7" rear?
Didn't you says you would go another route with your shocks if you could do it again? Also what spring rate for the rear? Thanks alot

CRchris

Yep

Nope. I'm good with the shocks

I'm happy with the 350# springs I have in the back.

nice clean crv! what paint did you use for painting the bumpers and trim? mine is in need of the same treatment.

CRchris

Appreciate it.
I used this:

Hey, Great looking CRV you got! I'm still amazed how many miles the car has and still running well! Good find.

I got a question regarding the stuck UCA, Couldn't you just throw a suspension bump stop in the inner fender beside the pinch weld? Or somehow attach it to the UCA ball joint? Yeah, you'll lose "some" suspension travel but at least it won't get stuck in there..

CRchris

Thanks. Still running strong with over 240k on it now. I drive it hard on the regular too.

Don't know. Maybe it would work. Nothing wrong with trying something new if you could figure it out.

you should find a carpenter to build your car then and sign up at the Home Depot pro desk I hear they have sales on lumber once in a while
