so a little update. i havent touched my cerve. its been a good snowboarding transporter and motor delivery car for me. i also picked up a da about 5 months ago that ive been dumping all my parts into. i made the ek koni/gc work on the da. you can see the build thread in my sig. anything new in the crv suspension world?

heres a pic of my bros wrecked car that we are picking from finally.


and here is the crv getting a rear motor installed! jk





she took the weight pretty good. i loaded about 800 lbs of parts and she still pulled good. but i used about 1/3 a tank on 50 miles tho. im about to take this ctr steering whell and bend it back to put into the cerve. if i do i will put up pics.

 

ive hauled 2 full RB(diff. occasion) engine swaps w/ the other V.... and at one time
we were being played by a ford explorer w/c is hauling somethings too... he was
puzzled that he cant leave us starting from the engine depot, he bought an engine too!
we were laughing inside my V since he doesnt know what inside my engine bay...LOL!
also ive hauled 2 Bseries swaps at the same time too before......


btw, ive installed an eclipse suspension on my rears w/ skunk2 800 springs on my coilover
sleeves... we'll see how itll do on the track.. its the right height stance that im looking
but will it be the right combo for me toi use on the track...!?? ill figure out this week!

 

what year eclipse suspension are you using? when im in need of new shocks i will look into doing the eclipse peices. i will always want to lower my v but im happy that i can drive over almost anything and throw 5 people in here if i have to. im hoping to get my da on the track buy next spring or late summer.im doing a full wire tuck and mild shaved bay. also starting the color change by painting the bay and interior captive blue pearl like my first da. i am also in the process of swaping my brothers eg with the b16 you see in the pic. its starting to get cold here so i have to get **** to the point where i dont have to open my garage door anymore.

 

KYB 341114 Rear Gas Shock Absorber
**cheaper than kyb for crv!!

you need to shave off a bit of the ball bushings to make it fit to our rear
LCA, it isnt tthat much of a loss..i think bwr coilover for crv has the same
issue w/ some of their stocks that came out....
jut use stiffer springs or much taller springs for the coilover sleeves if your
using one if not a lwering springs would do the trick...
wait for my update after this weekend, ill be running my V in an open road
course event, i may not be gunning for my track time that day rather ill be
observing my suspension, ill be bringing 2 of my V on that event, im trying
the suspension set up i put in my other V for an autocrossing event....

Bump

 

I through on a set of 350z wheels that I have and it deft. needs a lower stance now.

 

Here's a engine bay shot just for your entertainment, b16a2 head tuned on Crome pro by me.



No one wants to run a stock height crv. They get mad when they do though. Lol.

 

ugh, now i want to get a new motor

 

your bay looks soo empty for some reason. i dont mind the stock ride height cause i have my da for a lowered *** car. i beat on my v and do about 20-25k a year so im never gonna lower it. the only thing i would do is heat a coil on the front to level it out. when i rode around with the stance i really wanted, it was not fun. one big bump and its jammed a-arms for me. just not very fun compared to my da.


here is how it used to sit.

 

I looks so good though. I thought about the ksport one piece, but $850 is more money than I want to spend right now.

 

The bay looks empty because the b16 intake manifold.

 

yeah thats what it is. and the cold air intake. i had that spoon elbow but i recently put it in my da and put the air box back in. but i left the silencer out of the bumper. it took me about 3 hours to find it in my basement. i almost bought a new one but it was $90 so i looked harder. it was right in front of my eyes!

 

I just realized your in Philly too. Northeast?

 

na im in springfield delco. like 5 min from philly. it just easier to put philly for location. are you on tri-state tuners by any chance? we get together on monday nights in clifton hieghts. at the home depot. i usually bring my da tho.

 

Same here, im in warminster bucks couny, i moved here about 6 years ago. I haven't been on tri state in a wile. I probably should. The last tri state meet I went to was 08. We did a caravan to sonic in Lancaster. Great meet. Clifton heightsis a hike for me.

 

the monday night thing is the only one ive been to. i just joined about 2 weeks ago. if your bored on a monday this summer they usually have close to 100 people i was told so just message me if your interested. i have a few friends in warminster and lansdale area. my name is colby by the way.

 

My name is Larry, I know a couple Honda guys in Lansdale and here in Warminster. I sold my 08 SI sedan to a friend of mine in Lansdale.

 

do you know the guys with the jdm front end dc2's in lansdale? they are my buddies cousins. i still havent met them yet.

 

The kid I sold my si to, sold his blue Jdm front dc2 to buy my car. I don't know of any other Jdm front Integra around.

 

Qwrty,
Your a PRO, Suspension GURU here mate! Hehe

My First post here.
Searching for answers for my Suspension issues.
Thanks for this thread!

Im very impress with this PIC!
CRV could managed the weight!

 

our Vs can take more than that...!! full RB nissan swaps that we picked up several
times from the engine depot.. even the owner couldnt believe how our Vs can handle
that much weight and could still rip the road!! for some reason once my V is "loaded"
it feels good to run it and runs much better!
