Default Bou's 98 CRV build thread.

Well thought i'd create a build thread since i'm doing all sorts to my CRV.

I started off with two GSR's and decided to sell one for a more practical family car and DD. My initial goal was to boost but after owning the car that idea changed to keeping it stock. But like a snowball effect, i did a little here and now i'm kinda jumping into making this CRV better and unique.

Anyways I installed a 5902 Viper alarm with remote start, trunk release, starter kill and all that stuff.


Cleaned up the engine bay


my first attempt at swapping seats. here i directly bolt them in and they are way too low


restored the headlights


Infiniti Kappa Perfects (huge)


Alpine digital V12 4ch amp and sub


roof rack i picked up from the Upull&Pay (self service junkyard) for $33


swapped front leather Integra GSR seats


and my inspiration for which direction my CRV will take!!

Wow, good deal on that roof rack! I payed $180-ish for mine new, so you lucked out. Incidentally, I've yet to see a single CR-V in any local yards.

yup same here it was the only one ever there and my luck it was pretty pristine.. the engine was there as well and would've been $265 complete

i was there 3 days after it arrived and the usual scavengers were already busy on it when i got there.
