...about slammed 1st gen CRVs?

Looking on Craigslist nationwide, a cleanish 1st gen CRV with a five speed will sell easily in the low-2k range. I think they look nice lowered.

Plus, since it’s a Civic and uses a Civic engine, most bolt-ons will fit, and you’d have decent cargo space... basically a lowered CRV is a Civic wagon with AWD.

I really don’t think this would be a bad idea?

I kind of like that one in the first pic.

I will warn you, after trying (and failing) to find a decent CRV for around $5k for my neice, a $2k CRV is going to have almost 300k miles, and/or be in pretty rough shape, or be a scammer's pos t.

I cringe every time I pull out of the Target parking lot and my car is stock ride height. You do you.

Living in PA with our shitty roads, I can’t understand why anybody would lower their car and drive them on our streets. I’d rather put a lift kit on my Fiat than lower it.

If your gonna slam something, a crv is a good candidate.

Can you do the “Mini-me” on these? I had a Navy buddy who had one swapped into a Civic. Its the B20 with a B16 VTEC head run by an Integra B18 ECU. It was a surprisingly quick little car.

I mean, I have friends with low cars. It’s... doable in my city. If I do this, I’d do no lower than the stock ride height of a Civic of similar vintage. So I wouldn’t bottom out on bumps, but I’d still be hunting to avoid potholes, same as I am now in my Golf.

What gen were you looking at? mid-100k ones with a five speed aren’t horrifyingly expensive here.

I wish. Those only get lifted. Must have clearance issues.

Brickman > I like cars: Jim Spanfeller is one ugly motherfucker
05/26/2019 at 16:49

Makes it look like a Honda Wagovan. I like it. Negative camber... no.

I like cars: Jim Spanfeller is one ugly motherfucker > Brickman
05/26/2019 at 16:51

Nah, I’ve never been a fan of the low and slow camberbros. If I do this I’m gonna keep it within reasonable streetable specs. It would be exactly like a slightly larger, little newer, less rusty Wagovan.

you have given me an idea for my CR-V now....i’m thinking lowered on white TE37s, it’s blue already...yellow fog lights...brb gonna mspaint it

Chuckles > smobgirl
05/26/2019 at 18:20

Wow. My driveway is very steep but my Miata and Fiat can get up without scraping as long as I take it at a little bit of an angle.

smobgirl > Chuckles
05/26/2019 at 18:40

We basically have a 4-5 inch curb to clear unless you pay for new sidewalks with a driveway grade . If I back in at an angle I can clear it but I haven’t found a way to drive out again without scraping! Thankfully my license plate bracket takes most of the abuse. I street park unless I’m out of town.

Honda Forester...they look ok like this IMO.

They are all over the place here in Columbus. But we are a bias market with Honda right up the road. But we also see the opposite, with them lifted. Tbh I like the "jdm" one below

All the 1st gens are pretty nice. The “JDM” one I like, except the spoiler.

I'm not a fan of the bagged one. 1st gen is the best looking CRV IMO.

These and lowered Foresters are the epitome of Millennial car mods.

Change my mind...

Y eah the spoiler is a bit much. Though interesting to see it without the spare.

And first get is best gen

I kind of want to keep the spare on the hatch. It’s cool. Wish my Golf had it mounted like that.

I was looking at 1st and 2nd gens. I didn’t even specify the transmission filter for autos, beca use I just assumed they were all auto matic. I don’t recall any manuals coming up though.
