Judging by the pics, looks like him being forced to the passenger side may have saved him.

Nice pics of the CRV though.

that grille took me 6 months to find a real one with the badge. i found one that said oh its real but the badge was stolen off. im afraid to park it in philly cause people will do that ****. my bros si, someone went up to it in the mall parkinglot and tried to rip off the si badge and just bent it in half and scratched his car.

nice looking V... whats size tires are those?

tougetuned_ef

215/60/15 i think not 100% pos.

on another note, i removed the airbox after the filter and the tube and box that is located in the bfront bumper and installed the spoon cf elbow. i drove about 600 miles today and i averaged 27 mpg on the highway. ive never had more than 24 highway before. thats on reg gas and average 70mph so not only does it sound and look better, its better on my wallet too.

James89DX

You drove 8 hours just to test your MPG?

tougetuned_ef

no i had to drive my brother somwhere and i got this stuff on just in time to test it. i think that would be a moajor waste of gas dont you think.

did the civic coilover fit the cr-v?if it did what year civic was it?im trying to find some coilovers for my 97 cr-v but nobody makes just the coilover sleeve any more.i heard that accord and civic coilovers fit but dont know what year.i had my spring heated i think it looks ok but im going to put a lot of weight in the back with the extra battery,custom box,sub and amps.can someone help me out.

tougetuned_ef

see thats the stance that im going for. i didnt get the rear springs yet hopefully the week coming up the guy will take the car apart. so in like 2 weeks i should have them. keeping my fingers crossed!!!!

Yea bracero, I got some no name Integra coil overs from ebay over a year ago for $40 shipped. They've been great! Arospeed may still make some for the CRV, however you may have to cut the shafts because they come too tall for the CRV. Hence the reason why I bought Integra ones this time around. I've got pictures in my thread on here.

@bracero
m just waiting for my GC-eibach combo to arrive and the weather to clear up..
im gearing towards a 16" rims with 235 50 16 tires, im hoping they would complement
each other when i try it this week, im gonna use my 17 Si rim just for my DD set up.

btw, nice drop!!!

tougetuned_ef

looks like most of us are fromt the same general area. we should all get together at on of the nest big meets around here. maybe honda day in nj.

bracero

what year integra coilover did you used?can i slam it low like i have it now?

tougetuned_ef

so i went to the guys house that my bros car is at and after finessing him a little bit i got him to let me strip down the car. i got the rear suspension, t1r exhaust and the dc 4 into 1 header with 2.5 in collecter. i am going to get started on the coilovers and the header next week when i have time to tear it all apart.

tougetuned_ef

i thik im going to get some heat wrap for the header. its looking a little beat. what do you guys think?

qwrty

is your crv 2wd or 4wd??
coz if its 4wd, youll have issues with the headers..
it may not clear the path with the propeller shaft, i think?
its just that theres something underneath a 4wd crv thats
gonna have an issue with the B series heasers..

i just got my GC/eibach coilovers, ill try to install it this week,
wed/thur. if the wether wil be ok, im gonna have to test it right away
coz im overlapping with my skeds for our other projs.

tougetuned_ef

my crv is 4wd but im still gonna try it. i will try and post detailed pics of any problems that i have

qwrty

to give you an idea of an aftermarket headers for awd crv:


obx




HTH
good luck!

tougetuned_ef

ooohh so it curves over to miss the tranny. well i may have to have this thing fabbed up then

qwrty

its curved..
the latest aftermarket headers ive seen now is with the
4-1 design, much easier to curve the single pipe than the
4-2-1 design...
open up a new thred for this!

btt,
id like to see how they fit in the shocks/struts before you mount it...
are you gonna use an aftermarket shocks/struts for those coilover sleeves
or the oem ones??

tougetuned_ef

ok so im gonna use my stock shocks for now just cause they have 75k on them and they feel fine so i think i got plenty of use out of them. im just concerened about where the sleeve is gonna sit on the shock. the konis had a lock ring on them but i dont see that on my showa shocks.

godspeedcrv

The coil shaft and coil should fit where the original spring was. I used my bump stoppers and I think they helped a lot. But my warning is that if you go too low, your shocks actually won't work and it will be all spring/coil. Which will cause a bumpy ride. I did it myself so I know. I think that's how I blew the front two shocks too. But I'm on OEM shocks so...

godspeedcrv

Oh and as for the AWD header pictures, you're a lifesaver. I was going to pick up my boys DC Sports B-Series ones but now I think they won't fit. Fab work will be some money I assume if I want Tri-y's/4-2-1.

qwrty

^^
thats what my concern with other V owners out there..
they might think taht because its a B series engine,everthing
will be bolt on..some might need mods!!(a litle,somtimes..)

its a good thing few are trying to explore,
LOL!!

as for the shock/strut concerns, everything will fit thru,
its just that the coilovers might be too low/slammed that
there will be no play for the shocks/struts..
i tried a skunk2 coilover sleeves once, its mad bouncy!!
thats because i lowered it too much and it didnt match with
oem shocks/struts, but with koni(adjustable) their good..
my mechanic did try it with KYB, i think he's still using it with
his V..

tougetuned_ef

so i cant just dump it cause i wanted to go all the way down with the front and leave 1in in the rear but i guess i have to do 1in in the front and 2in in the rear. im going to sell these headers to my buddy and use the money to get crv headers.
