98 AWD 5SPEED CRV
 

Just sold my JDM front DB8 So i can focus on my EM1. And picked this CR-V up for a daily driver.. I cant leave anything stock so heres what I have done so far.

AVS window visors
AVS bug deflector
20% tint
Pro comp 15x7 simulated bead locks
Kuhmo 235/75/15 AT tires
6k Hid kit
Piaa Plasma ion 6" fogs
Westin Bull bar
Alpine CDA-117
Sat radio
Alpine S series speakrs
JL audio 500/5 full system amp
2 10" JL audio W3 subs

Waiting on my OME 2" lift springs and my 5th wheel and tire..

I Figure if i have a low 10 second Si and an offroad capable CR-V I should be good to go!

lookin sick

Re: 98 AWD 5SPEED CRV
 

Looks sick but i'd use tires a bit smaller, because looking at the picture it looks already tight on your fenders, if you get a little suspension travel ( like a light off road practice or even some pot hole on the road ) the tire is going to rip the shit out of your fenders,bumpers, etc

And you might be having some limitations on your steering lock am I right ?

Sick build by the way, love to see unusual stuff here...

Re: 98 AWD 5SPEED CRV
 

Thanks!
I've never lifted or done anythin like this. I've always lowered my vehicles and ran lower profile tires. So all of this is a learning experience for me. I'm not looking to build a rock crawler. I'll be happy just having something I can drive through my yard!


You are correct,It does rub a little in the back over larger bumps and dips in the road. I can not go lock to lock in the front. But it's not as bad as you would think. Once my 2" lift springs are installed it should take care of these minor issues. If not then I have some "persuading" to do in the wheel wells. It sucks that the springs are on backorder. But I would rather have these wheels and tires on with the minor rubbing than to have left the RSX wheels with bald summer tires .

Another week till the lift springs are here!!

Re: 98 AWD 5SPEED CRV
 

looks great, but you need more susp. travel

Re: 98 AWD 5SPEED CRV
 

Alots of Salt on ground .. LOL

Re: 98 AWD 5SPEED CRV
 

Interesting idea man, never thought of this. Gona be great for those winter blizards!

Re: 98 AWD 5SPEED CRV
 

Like I said I'm not trying to build a hard core off road vehicle. I just want something good in the snow that I can drive through a field if I want.. The 2" lift with wheels/tires I have sould do the trick! Once my Si is done I think in going to out my extra b16 head on this or maybe a jrsc... I cant leave anything alone..

Thanks for all of the positive feedback!!

This little thing is a BEAST in the snow! we got over 12" last week plus the 4+" that was already in my yard from the week before and she made it rite through it! Only thing hurting me was ground clearance.. CANT WAIT for the lift to get here!!
