Mod My Honda CRV - Part 2 of 2

The bumpers painted in the same color as the bodywork really made the car look 5+ years younger, it's such a transformation.

1st gen CRVs are so underrated. They're built like tanks - incredibly tough and durable. They have a lot of personality and really grow on you. I bought a '99 for my son and he drove it until he could afford something "cooler". I was going to just sell it after he was done with it but after cleaning it up and fixing a couple little things I just couldn't part with it. It has 270k miles on it and runs like it will run forever.

They got it in 99 and put many miles on it. right now its sitting around 225k miles with mostly factory parts. have done the oil pan and valve cover gaskets. oil pan gasket on mine was a pain to get off as well but did the same with the valve cover. stripped the factory black paint and just re painted it black. have replaced a lot of the front end stuff like sway bar links, control arms, ect. had to replace the wheels cause i found out three of the four were a bit jacked up. but i can say that i love the older model CR-Vs for sure cause they just keep on going. over all you guys did some awesome work this one and kinda makes me want to paint my bumpers now. good work and will be following cause of this video

Getting me hyped up to get some stuff and have something to play around with!!! Thanks for the vids!

[@mikerodas1]

Just my 2 cents but the aftermarket short ram air system may actually decrease engine performance since it now sucks in all the hot air released by the exhaust system and radiator. Without the enclosure, it does not shield the unwanted hot air from entering the engine.

[@GIGABACHI]

Flash News: The factory intake sucks hot engine bay air. The inlet pipe to the filter box is shaped like a U, I guess for fording water reasons. I got rid of mine after hacking the filter box. If I had to do it a second time I would cut the U section and leave just enough of it to suck colder air from behind the front bumper and close the hole where it comes up out to engine bay space.

[@Camilo19832001]

Yup, that’s the first thing i noticed, they installed aHOT air intake

[@НектоИнкогнито-д4й]

SUCH A FILTER DOES NOT WORK WELL, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE ENGINE HAS A HIGH MILEAGE, SORRY FOR CAPS.

[@grahamtalsma2495]

Agreed. Definitely not a power upgrade in a sense. There is less restriction in comparison to the stock intake which makes a miniscule difference, but definitely a more predominant intake sound. At speed the amount of cooler air in the engine bay pretty much breaks even for power. Throttle response does fractionally improve but nothing you would write home about. At the end of the day, it's purely for sound purposes.

[@jack.crv-R]

I know this is an old video but I'm looking at removing the weird box between the valve cover and firewall.. I think it looks really ugly. Has anyone else done this??

Our old CR-V (gone but never forgotten) had baaad bumper fade after about 4 years here in Florida. I must say that was top notch, A+++ work you guys did and you should get awards for it.

The RD1 CRV is the ultimate do everything 90's Honda. Swapping out the stamped/welded exhaust manifold for something that flows better wakes up the top end pretty well. I just swapped a B18C1 into my AWD 5 speed and it's a riot...super normal non descript old SUV until VTEC kicks in and it actually gets it done pretty well and sounds pretty epic. It is a placeholder for building a serious B20VTEC for more sleeper action.

I have a 2007 CR-V 2.4 VTEC. One thing that makes a huge difference in performance without sacrificing gas consumtion is: Get rid of those crappy irridium spark plugs. They are on average $7 a spark plug. And they burn up and start fouling in 2 months. The 2.4 vtec head is the same as early 90s accords. So, I installed the oldskool plugs. $ 1.50 a spark plug. Great throttle response. No more crapping out in a matter of months. It's been a year and still runs fine. The gas consumption never changed. Just power.
