My 01 CR-V
Hi! I've been around before but never posted.
Well I'd like to introduce myself, I'm from Puerto Rico, EX-Subaru owner and a current CR-V owner for 4 years. It was an Impreza STI 06 that I used to road race in our local track days events and sold it few months ago.
Mine It's a 2001 Electron Blue, A/T Honda CR-V which I brought used from a dealer with 17,000 miles on it in 2006 and now its around 79,000 miles. This car was in an accident before I got my hands on it, but they give me a VERY GOOD deal so...
I use this vehicle EVERY DAY! Rides great, comfortable, gives me around 370 Miles per tank if I drive it like grand ma and It's agile for me.
I've online pay $300 for repair the A/C cuz the compressor went dead. Instead of that, engine oil, oil filter and gas and that's It.
But now, with some miles and years of usage, my shocks are broken, I need some new tires in all 4 corners, I need some drivetrain or front suspencion bushings and/or steering wheel bushings. I dont know if engine mounts but Its kind of noise in front. Probable the shocks.
My plans are to replace front bumper cover, do some treatment to the paint, replace shocks, replace bushings that need to be replaced as well to improve handling, replace wheels with some OEM Honda wheels as well as new tires, get some bike mount and do some maintenance to the engine like adjust valves, change transm. oil, timing belt and do some Seafoam treatment. I just want it to be updated and running good because I feel that she needs some love lately.
Anyway, here are some pics. Ignore the "Perrin"sticker.. LOL I just put it there with no reason.
Thanks everyone! See ya' around.
