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.

 

damn thats nice

 

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.

 

i went to 4 different yards this summer, i havent seen not one crv.....
i was looking for seat rails to "experiment" on my aftermarket seats, too
bad i still couldnt get one...

good luck on your build!

 

theres tons of CRVs at my local junk yard... but great find to OP... how did u restore those headlights? im looking to get my done

 

X2, same on the west coast, no CR-V's at the yards...

 

we need to do a double CRV build..

 

You guys make me want a crv. Is the 5 speed hard to get hold of?
