new CRV owner here...ive been building hondas for years and always tossed around the idea of a boosted awd CRV. After someone pulled out in front of me forcing me to total my Integra Type R clone i went ahead and bought a V.

alot of work is already done and ive only just begun..ill be using this thread to document my progress on the build

2001 CRV EX AWD 5 SPEED

Ksport 1 piece coilovers for a 98 accord (custom welding to fit)
Energy suspenion bushing all around
S2000 front brakes with drilled and slotted rotors
Custom Hasport mount on the rear differential
Custom front traction bars
Yonaka exhaust with resonator from my integra
EM1 Si cluster
55 watt 6k HIDS
AUTHENTIC Junction Produce rear pillows, headrests and FUSA and TSUNA knots

ive had a few sets of wheels on the CRV so far so im going to list them all here

Work Meister S1 3p 19x8.5 et 36 fr 19x9.5 et36 rear
2006 Civic Si wheels
2001 Prelude SH wheels
Cragar V5 wheels for a Jeep

ill be updating more as i go, ive already got my whole turbo kit together as well as some supporting mods i just need a few more fittings and lines and i will be installing the kit and getting tuned...

questions? comments? death threats??

EDIT: sorted out the broken links

 

I don't know about others...but my computer was having issues loading the images. I'm interested in seeing them, though.

 

Use photobucket to show your photos. They will not load at all for me as well.

 

bump. pics are up

 

Looking good son

 

Looks good. Your like me a little bit. I'm always changing rims lol. I have 3 sets right now for my CRV. My old Integra I had 14 sets of rims on it in the 1 year I drove it lol.

 

Poor domo

 

Does look nice. Really clean body.

 

nice and clean I like it .. what did you use for the bumper's and trim looks great..

 

thanks!
haha yeah i get bored so easy...i change cars almost as often too lol

domos no longer there anyway i think either he fell or someone took him
thanks bro! i was unsure of the red when i bought it but it was so clean i had to...only a tiny bit of rot

cheers man, not doing anything ricey...i used this stuff


ive used before for a set of extra wheels and loved how they covered and held up so tried it on the trim...looks great and has been holding up fine

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

just got in my oil feed and return lines, bought a skunk2 intake manifold and just need a few more things before my buddy instals my turbo setup i cant wait....just a few recent pics with some minor upgrades

put the SIs back on, i onyl really put on the work wheels for shows...the s2k is my brothers


went to a car show ate Paul Jrs Designs...i took first place truck or suv and my brother took first place honda!


another shotr from that day


his and hers lol


my other build i have going in the front, havent seen much love lately haha


a pano from earlier today....



and finally my latest picture of the CRV...finished plastidipping my wheels gold and put them on today. i love them.. nice and subtle almost looks like a subaru. i also did front an back emblems and the crv badge in gold looks OEM and classy as **** haha

the Jeep cherokee lip got here the other just havent had time to install it...ill keep this thread updated as best i can and always all comments welcome

 

Looks good man. I saw your CRV at PJD on the facebook page.

 

Dam wish I was closer to meets like that .. hummmm 3 hours aint so bad. Looks like the Honda thing runs n the family same here.. Keep it up

 

very nice V, cannot wait to hear that turbo go woosh!
I really like the black wheels with chrome rim

 

Just did mine this morning using SEM's flexible bumper coater. Expensive stuff but works perfect. They even got paint for trim but I used the bumper coater for trim as well.

 

 

^^ how many cans did you use?

 

3 cans of paint. Covered side molding, bumpers and trimming along wheel well n bottom of car. 3 coats of paint. No scuffing needed since SEMs new bumper coated is self adhesive. Be sure to use something thatll clean off all wax n residue n dirt offbefore u start

 

thanks check the new pics,,,,i saw that too. some of those comments were funny lol
haha yeah between me and my brother at least 20 hondas in the past few years
you and me both...the wheels are Work Meisters and i think look good on any car

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


more parts, almost ready for surgery...arp head studs, OEM head gasket, oil feed/return, timiing belt liy, stepdown harness and TiAL 38mm wastegate with 11lb spring


finally installed the cherokee lip...really dig it now i need to get those oem sidesills and slam it

 

Yeah they look good with those lips.

Good to see your getting your parts in for the turbo build. I have a full kit here for mine for about 3 months now lol.

 

I'm just curious with why the S2000 front brakes? I know the rotors are .7in bigger, but I thought the calipers themselves were a lot smaller. How'd the install go? Plug and play?

 

very nice...
ive always wanted to do something fun like this...
interesting to see how the diffs and gbox holds up

 

I really like that lip. Did you have to do much modification to make it fit?

 

I think there's alil write up somewhere saw it the other day.

op: glad to see this is moving along for you lip looks great also.

 

Love the build.

 

What year cherokee is the lip from?
