My 2000 RD1 suffers from crusty trim, I'll try this. I'm finally working on the cosmetics since the vehicle has practically been rebuilt, thanks to many of your videos. It runs like a champ.

[@hondaresource]

Awesome! I was really impressed with the results on mine

[@robertdiehl9003]

Last month, I restored my 1999 Cr-v trim and bumpers by scuffing the plastic with Scotch brite red , wiped it down with windex then rolled Rustoleum gloss black. Great results. For the headlights, I used Mothers mag polish applied with a Mr. Clean Magic eraser. Sealed clarity with a 3M clear coat wet nap. Follow up every couple of weeks with Maguires plastic polish. I live in an apartment building so spray painting in the parking lot is absolutely out of the question. If I could slow down the rust on Cr-v but otherwise, the 99 turned out to be fun to drive after major mechanical reconditioning which took me almost one year to get this up to good shape.

[@hondaresource]

Awesome! How'd the roll on work?

[@robertdiehl9003]

Roll on paint is super easy, quick and no mess at all using 4" roller from home depot. I live 4 miles outside of Manhattan, My where bumpers are always getting bumped into so yes- touch up are a breeze being that paint is sold in qt size can....

This is what I was looking for. I want to do this on my crv. Just wasn't sure what to use. Great video 👍

[@hondaresource]

Hope it helps🤙

[@jojojeep1]

I’ll tell you when I use on my CRV to keep the black looking beautiful, boiled, linseed oil, put it on, then go back five minutes later and wipe it off,last six months to a year

[@GF-nm1cl]

I use the heat gun, but then clear coat it. Then it stays

[@desertportal353]

Appreciate this a lot. On my old CRV for the headlight covers I tried "GOOF OFF Pro Strength Remover" and it actually dissolved the plastic and wiped down, while still wet, then dried in a minute or so to crystal clear. Must use a lot relatively and keep it wet allover to dissolve evenly or I get streaks and dry spots. Don't know how long it will last but it is not a coating that can deteriorate over time. We'll see how long it will last. Just FYI.

[@hondaresource]

I tried some mothers polish kit on it with lack luster results

[@jamestyndall529]

Restored all the trim on my 99 with a heat gun looks brand new

[@hondaresource]

Until 6 months from now

[@jamestyndall529]

@@hondaresource I have to take it back to the dealer for a airbag recall just wanted to look as nice as it could before I did!

[@notSusNugget]

brilliant, actually just the info I needed. I was going to grab a new bumper because an accident left it lightly scratched up. aging lightened the color too. I might try this out instead and call it a day

[@hondaresource]

It definitely got mine looking great!

[@robertdiehl9003]

Nice truck..

[@hondaresource]

Thank you🤘

[@robertdiehl9003]

Excellent job.

[@hondaresource]

Thank you

[@robertdiehl9003]

My 99 green CR-V was reviewed on KZbin by Zack from " Shooting cars". Check out the video if you have time.....

[@stevetruelove6062]

great video. just got my 97's bumpers and trim done and it came out great. been thinking about taking my crv to the elements on the dragon event. wish they had a crv event but oh well.

[@hondaresource]

Heck yeah! That would be cool to have a crv meet on this side of the country

[@stevetruelove6062]

you have the viewers. maybe something can be put together for next year.@@hondaresource

[@rigonaranjo1764]

Do a video on the driver door actuator replacement please ???

[@earthtoground]

Yes, please do a door actuator video!

[@hondaresource]

I will if I get a chance

[@chuckiebillings413]

I got one so I fuel up an it drops gas under where I fuel think you can do swap for that appreciate it just drips I checked the rubber neck is Good everything else rusty

[@aqilfowler2728]

Is there a vid where you fit that k-series motor in that 1st gen? Transmission etc

[@hondaresource]

A whole series

[@PeachORican]

I found this video looking for a how-to remove the bumper. I bought my 2000 automatic RD2 (wish I’d found a manual RD1) recently with damage to the bumper and rear. Any advice on what to do about a slightly-dinged-into-the-door spare tire? Door opens and seals well (that I can tell), spare tire cover is just a tad hard to slide in and out on the bottom.

[@hondaresource]

I don't really know what to tell you

[@PeachORican]

@@hondaresource well, at least you replied! Thank you for your channel!

[@ericlewis5147]

I noticed you have a rooftop tent. Is the rack strong enough to support sleeping up there? Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@hondaresource]

My son and I camped in it once so far. The tent usually stays on my 4runner

[@DEConcepts]

How many cans did you use for the entire car?

[@hondaresource]

I think 2

[@notSusNugget]

Question, Did you bother taking the fender trims and door trims off to paint em? 6:45

[@hondaresource]

I didn't

[@rodolfomarin7140]

I need your opinion for my 97 crv. My trims are crusty white. The oem paint is gray like in this video. I was thinking with going with black. What’s your thoughts on it

[@hondaresource]

I've seen the black, it looks ok.

[@gomertube]

How'd you cover and tape the door to do the trim? I was thinking of laying over a sheet of black plastic bag and cutting out the part over the trim, then taping the bag edges to the door. Thanks!

[@hondaresource]

Just tape and newspaper. Sorry I didn’t get video of that

[@gomertube]

NP, thanks!@@hondaresource

[@jorgecanales2142]

How many cans did you need?

[@hondaresource]

I think I used 3 or 4 for the whole truck

[@CaptainTexas92]

Hey, that’s on my checklist! Just finished sourcing some more 5 speed parts and I’m nearing the finish line. I know you said you’ve 5speed swapped these plenty of times. Just curious outside of pulling the key lock plug on the dash harness does everything else function well enough to run the Auto dash harness on a swap? I really want this to function as if it came from the factory as a 5 speed car I don’t want a bunch of wiring gremlins.

[@hondaresource]

I've actually never manual swapped one of these. I've done many civics and integras over the years.

[@CaptainTexas92]

@@hondaresource that’s crazy! I’d figured you had swapped one at least once.

[@hondaresource]

No sir

[@rambhaiker8373]

Hey man ! I’ve been watching your videos on honda civics and they are very informative and straight forward.I need an urgent advice from you,I currently own a 2004 Honda civic Ex 4d sedan with 180,000miles on it,I bought it used at 176,500 miles on it and it is driving very well .I just checked my transmission fluid level today and it is below the two hash marks on the dip stick.Internet is blowing my mind when i search for tranny fluid change but i am confused if i should drain it and fill it up or just top it off with without draining it.What would you suggest would changing it with new fluid could damage the transmission?Please so help me.

[@hondaresource]

Drain and fill 1 time

[@rambhaiker8373]

@@hondaresourcethank you so much !🙌🏻

[@NoTalentUgly]

Hey Thanks! I'm gonna try this! Quick question, When I open my 2000 CRV hood and listen to the engine. There is a clicking sound. Is that normal?

[@hondaresource]

Injectors will click a little. May need a valve lash adjustment

[@NoTalentUgly]

@@hondaresource Thanks! Is there a sure fire way to know that a valve lash adjustment is necessary? btw I love this channel!

[@hondaresource]

@@NoTalentUgly considering how prone these are to burning valves, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go ahead and do them
