Haha we will see. Tyres on it now are near new so will use them up a bit first.
Currently have on the way:
-Mugen Headers
-Mugen Grill
-Mugen Muffler
-Bilstein shocks
-Cusco Front and Rear Strut Brace
-19mm Ultra Racing Rear Swaybar
-Everything for cambelt
-Rear Diff Fluid
-E Audio amp for front speakers
Also have a Mugen Intake I may use sitting in the shed and a 38mm Halfsized Ali radiator
Just have to wait for it to all arrive and then have time to install
Comfortable Daily style,
-my Shuttle is too low and solid engine mounts make it loud for comfortable commuting on NZ Roads.
-my DB8 has way to hard suspension for NZ Roads and I am paranoid about leaving it parked places I dont know
This will be mildly modified but only bolt ons and relativly subtle, I will raise the suspension slightly and run some slightly bigger tyres for a little more ground clearance (bottoms out on a couple tracks I've taken it on) but for the most part will stay nice and comfortable and ready for Camping/Fishing/Road Trips etc
Installed my new Pioneer Speakers this morning. Wow they sound amazing even just being powered by the headunit. Cant wait until I install my amp now.
Only gripe is that the tweeters are quite "bright" but that may change after some use.
Not keen on cutting the door trim at all so need to be on the dash (also can fiddle with location more to get better sound). As it is the sound is angled up towards the windscreen in front of the driver so that the sound meets there and bouces back towards the drivers head so that both sides sound balanced.
They are quite big tweeters though so stick out a bit

yeah i wouldnt wanna cut the doors either...
if they werent so big it may be possible to hide them behind the heater vents....??
^they'd probably block the heat... not safe? hrmmmm... i dunno... i got no more suggestions.... love your crv though....
I just took it for a drive and honestly you dont notice them sitting there, GF didnt see them till I pointed them out.
And from the outside my registration label covers one an the ODO verification cert sticker covers the other.
If I put them in the vents they would be firing straight out and sound bad, they need to angle towards the middle.
Thanks though, its a work in progress but I start my new job tomorrow so will have a little more spending money to get it up to standard
I know alot of people mount them on the window pillars, but that would require cutting also, those interior pieces would be easier to find for a spare set though.

They are WAY to big for that(pictures dont really show their true size), I would have to make some custom piller trims from fibreglass as well otherwise they would stick out even more than they currently do as they are too deep to flush mount
For now they are alright where they are, in the future I may move them though

I'd be putting them in some pods attached to the A-pillar and aiming at the interior light. If you want to get all technical and actually trial where to aim the speakers, use a bunch of blu-tack to hold them in place for testing different positions.
A pillar trim pods are easy peasy to make and don't take much time at all. Hell, they don't even need to be held in place with screws, some decent double-sided tape and you are away laughing. They don't stick out that much either, most people who jump in my car don't tend to notice them.
Having made fibreglass speaker pods before Im not very interested in making anymore
Anyway, this lot showed up:
So this lot showed up, I have some work to do (CVT fluid is for diff, Honda says its the same as DPSF)
In there is:
Cambelt
Water Pump
Tensioner and spring
All belts
Oil Filters
Crush Washers
Pollen Filter
Diff Oil
I'm digging the color aqua, been thinking about painting my future car (when I get one) like that I've seen some fits that color and a del sol... I'd have to say win
I liked the torquoise too (my GF didnt). If it was manual I would have kept it but couldnt put up with auto I decided.
I bought it for $3900, polished it, did a few hundred ks and sold it for $5100 10days later
The new silver one was a little more than that

lol... what a steal. Maybe just b/c your car isn't USDM it looks nice
Sadly my exhaust bolts are rusty as (i.e rear flange for muffler is almost rusted away so I didnt manage to get the muffler swapped over after work today
How do you find that size? Do you have pics of yours with those tyres and the lift?
Im wanting something bigger than factory but not too extreme
I will let you know how the Bilsteins go, I got them for $300 as opposed to $2000 new. They look to be in very good condition so have possibly only done few kms.
I need to cut off my old exhaust flange where the muffler bolts as it has basically rusted away. I will get a new one and weld it on hopefully next weekend.
I am also halfway through polishing the headers and muffler
I can get pics of the size difference, the summer tyres are 205-70-15 wich is stock, when I bought a set of snowy's I wanted something bigger so I ended up with 215-70-15.
Now I'm looking at a set of Yokohama geolanders in 215-70-15 or in a 16 on stock Honda wheels.
I have Geolanders in 205/70 on the front of my CR-V now, they are great. The back has half worn Firestone Destinations.
I am currently choosing wheels then maybe in a few months will get bigger tyres, I was thinking same size as you 205/75 or 215/70 but after seeing this pic I might (just might) go for 215/75:
The 215-75-15 don't look to bad. There's just not a lot of clearance in between the tire and the upper ball joint with the stock wheels. If you change the offset the you can go pretty big. I wounded how he did it.

Grill
Muffler
Headers
Bilstein shocks with RS*R springs (springs lower 60mm which I dont want to so will be sold)
moar low!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jyessss?
Sweet another lifted crv.
What spring were you planning inn using?
I'm currently running the BDS springs but there discontinued and one of the front ones is cracked.
I have the measurements of the sidemarkers for you written down in my notebook at work, will forward them onto you this week.
What size tyres are you running? I am tossing up between 205/75 or 215/75
I think my next spring shock combo is goIng to be bilstein and old man emu or the dobi ones.
