Anyone own one?
 
Does anyone here own a CRV? I've tossed the idea around for awhile of buying a first gen. But i don't know much about them. Any opinions?

i used to own a 1997 with 230k miles.. that thing had no end in sight.. only complaint i had was how loud the tires were on the freeway :-\ if u want to take a quiet trip.. but turning on the music fixed that up right away, gas mileage is awesome. people complain about it being a 4cylinder.. and im like stfu.... its not cool for long trips.. i dont know if it came with better seats than mine or not... but those seats were messed up.. i took it from detroit to sandusky.. .when i got out.. i was fucked up.. acheing back and all the sorts.

but im alot happier with my 94' gmc jimmy :D 128k miles still peels out everytime, and the burnouts never get old :)

London England or London Ontario?

I would like to do a small lift on one and try and stuff some 31's under it. They have always looked like a good 4season daily driver.

crv only has 126hp and its tourque rating isnt exactly high :-\

your just gonna end up having too much wear and tear and shitty gas mileage, not to mention the fact that the extra stress could cause ur tranny to go out..

i think since the crv has such a low tourque and hp rating you need to get lower gears..

i got 31's on my gmc jimmy in the rear and 235's in the front ;D
i fucked up my 4x4 a long time ago when i was running a skyjacker lift and some 35's ;D

dude.. honestly.. a crv wont really be a 2000 dollar car that u dont give a ---- about like my jimmy.. i would imagine for a first gen you would pay somewhere near 7k for a decent one :-\ do you really want to be pouring money into it? just get the biggest tires physically possible without a lift kit..
and the bottom of a crv isnt really built to take a beating.. imagine a rock tearing up the bottom of your car :-\

or tear out ur fenders and throw in some bushwakers ;)

some cars just arent made for offroading.. or sporting big tires...

London, England. It gets really good gas mileage, and yeah it does lack power but it's mostly because of the AWD drivetrain....loses a lot through there....it's just a bored b18b....I say throw a small turbo on there for some torque, lift it, get a nice tranny cooler and you have a pimpin shmobmobile
