No towing.
Average 300-350 per tank
Sold my wife's Acura Mdx do to gas prices rising and was getting poor mpg.
She is happy with her Crv as am I

Re: 98 Crv AWD 5sp small project for now
Today i purchased these rear corner bars from my friends crv. They seem to be rare. Found few sites which carry similar bar styles but none for the 1st gen.
I also bought a front skid plate which im installing tomorrow

Re: 98 Crv AWD 5sp small project for now
i feel the same way about not liking it.
only reason i got is cuz when i buy broken down cars I will be able to push them UP my driveway. Got it at a very good price. Its growing on me... just a little.

Re: 98 Crv AWD 5sp small project for now
still debating on dropping it. I do have frozen front struts at the moment, so I will be needing a new set-up. Reasons I hesitate lowering it is cuz I will use it for outdoor camping and possible hauling. Other factors too. I really wanted to drop it when I just bought it but I held back.

Re: 98 Crv AWD 5sp small project for now
since your just using for pushing cars, you might wanna trim off the
headlight portion of the bar, the other design looks like that but not
that high,... im looking onto one now, im using my other V for camp
and outdoor activities.. i do have the same rims and im using HnR
lowering springs.. it isnt that low since its a progressive springs...
it just handles much better!! i did use i much bigger tires to fill the
wheel gap on the well...LOL!!
i borrowed pics on the web....
i prefer the black one... it doesnt stand out!
G/L!

Re: 98 Crv AWD 5sp small project for now
I bought the bar cheaper than those small push bars. Not really looking to spend more money. I'll give it a few days and see if it grows on me.
I'm really considering the accord/Kyb set up. Will see..

Re: 98 Crv AWD 5sp small project for now
Back in the Crv game will update as I upgrade!
Just ordered yonaka coilovers and window visors on my new 99 Crv awd 5sp. Looked rough when I got it completely detailed and buffed and brought the shine back
