Honestly, do more of these. One every 2 or 3 months for a fun diversion from the typical track builds.
Totally agreed. Just like commercial break when you watch tv drama.
Absolutely, I agree 100%. Plus it gives some inspiration for folks looking to spruce up their ride at home during this lockdown.
My RD1 CRV is sitting in the driveway asking to be pimped out. Those headlights are a need for me.
Yes please!
This is exactly what I was thinking.
Love the pimp my crv thing, but you made me cry a little when you pulled the crv decals off.
That's the meaning of PMR. Slap on a wing and take off simple nice things.
It's a case of personal taste, but yeaaa I would've left those for sure.
Yeah the decal would have made it look sportier plus kept a factory sporty look.
Hey put it back. LoL 😆
SAME
When you lend your brother your car as a favour and when you get it back, your favorite pin stripe decals are gone :P
The car wash would of been good enough.
Yea Imo the pinstripes looked cool
yea felt like that hurt the soul of the car
I liked the pin striping :(
Pinstriping looks cheap
Not gonna lie, I loved that old crv sticker on the bottom of the doors. Wish you kept it but then again it did age the car and with the modern lights, it just wouldn't work.
I would take it off. Debadging cars is kinda cool and makes it a clean look. Also it doesn’t hurt when people think it’s like a Honda Pilot or ridge line or higher end Honda model than the cheap slow crv
Samething man
It's kinda radwood, but kinda beige
If he had more time I would have definitely sprung for some custom vinyl replica in a different color way maybe reflective ghosted clear something like that.
Ehhhh, by the time he realized what he had done I think it was too late. Woulda looked out of place with a half sticker.
Looks great for basically a weekend project. Keep an eye on the rear tail light bulbs. Aftermarket taillights never seal 100% and moisture gets in and blows bulbs constantly.
I demand a pimp my ride style intro where Pete teleports around the road while walking.
If I see this on part 2, i'm subscribing 100%

CRV are criminally underrated. Same for old school Rav 4. Buddy of mine had a 2 door with a stick back in the day.
Man, videos like this make me miss owning 20 year old cars. There’s always something to be done and every little project is so rewarding because the before and after is pretty drastic. Something as simple as a 2 hour polishing job on the paint and headlights makes a huge difference that you get to enjoy every time you look at the car.
I’ve got a family now and 75% of the cars on the road are 5000lb SUVs so I’ve got to drive something newer and safer. Not complaining about finally owning a nice reliable vehicle but it’s still a bummer that any weekend projects only provide very subtle results. Even something like a sway bar install or an ECU tune are barely noticeable until you really push the car on a weekend drive. The only mod that I get to appreciate when I walk up to the car has been a $2000 set of wheels and tires lol.
Have a shitbox on the side. They're cheap, throw a turbo on it. Blow it up. Who cares, you got the reliable car to feed your family =)
Amen bro....
Shoulda kept the decals.
I would have left the bottom decals. They have a JDM look to them.
I would take it off. Debadging cars is kinda cool and makes it a clean look. Also it doesn’t hurt when people think it’s like a Honda Pilot or ridge line or higher end Honda model than the cheap slow crv
You mean it gives it that "2001 rice look" lmao
yah the higher trim levels have those stickers, even the sound cruiser edition have them, removing it made it look like any other cr-v
no
Yeah it went from looking like a high end model to a low end model with some AutoZone touches
Yes! I love my 1st Gen, been such a great daily for the last 3 years. Always cool to see these getting hooked up!
Sup Jon!?
I also have one..with a roof rack and spare tire at the back.TOUGH despite the look.the DESK are still in its place.
Owned one of these, got it at 199k miles (US), drove the piss out of it, beat the hell out of it. never failed me. sold it for what I paid with 250k miles.
Best beater daily driver/ fun car
Truth. These things are workhorses. Great resale value here in the midwest. I always see these 1st gen and even 2nd gen driving around. Just a testament to Honda's durability given how many 15+ year old CRVs still driving.
I have a 2001 with 250k and it’s running like it’s brand new, even idling, it doesn’t shudder or stutter at all
Only true CRV owners know the table comes under the back trunk area and the “center console” flips down.
Oh Yeah!!!
Also the button to open the trunk.
Our CRV got bought back by Honda as they wouldn't fix the airbag issue. We kept the fucking table, because screw you Honda, that's ours. That was our camping table.
@@promethbastard 😆😅😁
Also the storage box under the passenger seat
I've got an old Honda that still has all the stickers on it. I'd disown my brother if he'd remove them "for me".
I was thinking the same! I would be so pissed
Mine is in “clover green”. It doesn’t have the stickers, but it does have most of the pin stripe on it. After I restore the paint and bumpers I might see if I can get those CRV door stickers for the 90s vibe
Same here lol 😂
Agreed, those decals were cool in there 90's kind of way. I would've been split on deciding to take them off.🤔🤔
I know... I just got my own CR-V, and I really like the look of those old decals. Do you know how hard it is to find those today? It's basically impossible. And he just removes them like that without asking...
One thing I learned when adding a spoiler is that you're suppose to get new trunk shocks or something. Otherwise the trunk falls on your head if you're on a hill or if it's windy cuz it's much heavier. I don't think you did that, but I guess it's okay. Your brother just needs to be aware before he gets his head banged. When I'm on a hill and have no choice, I rest the trunk on my upper back.
Perfect lil series for me to get excited about my daily 2001 CRV!
These are so fun, I'd love to see these become a semi-regular thing where you pimp out a random car from your friend/family's fleets. They're refreshing, a small little break from the track builds, and seeing a common car transformed is nice to see for all of us without a sports car, there's still stuff we can do to our "boring" cars
For adhesive residue, the best thing I've found is pure limonene. It also smells awesome. It doesn't leave an oily mess like Goo Gone and it's much more effective, so you can use less of it.
Limonene is the ester found in most citruses. It gives off a citrus smell, an isomer of limonene with a just a reflected branch smells like pine trees. I smoke crack pipes!
@@rollei35mm that comment did not end the way I expected!
@@rollei35mm some good ol' O Chem knowledge
Where would you get pure limonene as a regular customer? Also is it expensive?
@@chrisgit4433 Amazon is where I bought it.
Glad yall brought life back into this ole girl. I had a 98 CRV for a couple years and I loved it. Hopefully this one sticks around for many more miles.
This generation CRV is great! I had one for several years as the family car. Going to try to find another soon for winter!
The paint transformation is amazing. Can’t wait to see the new headlights and bumpers installed.
What an awesome thing to do for your bro! I’m sure he’ll be stoked when he finds out what you’ve done for him
Love those headlights! Really enjoy the pimp my old ride sort of surprises for people who deserve it! Well done!
Came across the channel yesterday, love the ‘pimp my’ vids, and the positivity between all of the guys is great. Gained a sub
This is awesome. This gen CRV was one of our fan’s first new cars so I’ll always have a soft spot for this beaut! :)
Keep up the solid work guys!
Great Vid, I really like seeing you guys take old beat cars and fixing them up, even if the builds are not as deep as a kswap.
I loved this video...I had a '98 CR-V; loved it and miss it. I'd love to see a K-swap into this thing! Please do more of these short and sweet upgrade series!
Love the projector light mod looks so much better, keep it up Pete & Dave!
My daughter’s 99 CRV is a tank. She literally blew a hole in her engine by not adding oil lol. Replaced the engine and she’s run it off the road twice. Once hit a tree and the other hit a dirt bank off an icy road. Was hit head on and no structural damage. Just a dented bumper. It was beat up when we bought it and I’ve replaced the door liners with used parts, upgraded the stereo, replaced the drive line, etc. We joke that bit by bit she’s getting a brand new car lol. Live these cars. It has probably saved her life many times.
Been a Toyota guy all my life. But when I was looking for a daily driver due to my custom Tacoma almost getting stolen, I settled for a 99' 4wd crv. Love the little thing, became a Honda fan immediately. And the 4wd works great on uphills when raining, torquey little motor.
This is a great type of video for you guys to do. It makes us poors feel like, if we just had a place to work, we could make our own old cars feel nice. No pretension, just making someone's useful tool a bit better.
I just came across this Channel, I really like this segment :) I hope there will be more, thanks for sharing this with us!
This video was dope. Can't wait to see the next video. Hopefully this isn't the last time we see this CRV on this channel. Keep up the great work guys !
my parents have owned 3 CRVs, ive always wanted to get one to do a K-swap and turn it into an awd sleeper beast but i have my hands full with a 1972 celica. Connies series has been a huge help with that and i really appreciate all the info you guys are sharing about the old cars.
Awesome!! That thing is looking great so far... I have always liked the first gen CRV's. Loving speed academy as usual!!
@10:26 fly for your life. Love that song! Big props for knowing and using it.
I recently acquired a 97 CRV and it’s been great so far.
25mpg, AWD never gets stuck in snow, good peppy engine in city traffic, very high build quality and reliable.
Cons: driver seat is awfully uncomfortable, lacks power going up mountains, cup holders are too shallow to hold your drinks safely and the steering is much heavier than most other cars but very stable.
Looking good man, can't wait to see it finished. Nice to see something different.
You have reignited my motivation to get my cousins crv back in working order. Thank you, subbed.
So true about the rust. Have a 99 RD1 with 448k on it, but the rear rocker rust is whats keeping me from going full-out on fixing her up. Great vid, stay safe.
Cut out the rust weld in new rear quarters
It’s awesome to see 90s Honda’s come back to life!
I hope all this effort doesn't go to waste. Your brother obviously didn't take care of the car at all. Not to say it wasn't beat up before he bought the car, but any car can look decent if someone takes the time to bring it back to life and take care of it. Hopefully your brother changes his ways after getting the car back and doesn't let it fall into this same state of neglect.
Dude it’s just a crv chill out
I believe this Night Hawk BP is the same paint on my 5th gen Prelude, and I adore it :)
Awesome series loving these transformation videos :P
I was recommended the 335i because I’ve been looking into some but now I’m watching all the way through the playlist and so far I’m hooked
Also just for a trick my auto body teacher taught me to put tape across the pinstripes if it’s double stripe to pull both off easier
i wasn't gonna watch this video. i was like pimp a CRV?😲 I'm glad i watched it tho cause it reminded me how fun it is to breathe a new life into an old vehicle...which is something I've done many times before. good job Speed Academy💪
Great ideas! I have a 1998 manual trans in electron blue. Great idea about the plastic bumpers!
i had the same crv a few years back. but mine was the 5 speed manual. i loved that thing.. i want to get another one.
Got a 99 CRV and a 2006 Subaru Legacy GT. LOVE my Honda to death never fails me drive it nearly everyday
This style video is awesome! Would love to see more.
Loved this video. Can't wait for part 2
I love these simple builds for the people!!
Wow, those 7.5 gen Accord wheels look really sharp on the CRV! Great video.
Always loved the 1st gen crew's. I wanted to buy one but after my 1st gen odyssey I vowed to never have no power again. 5 kids fully loaded a/c on going up the mountains with 130hp will do that to you.
This is amazing, I would love to see a 93' Toyota Corolla get a make over as well. You guys just got another subscriber.
Wow that headlight conversion is epic
Love these simple mod vids
My dad and i bought the crv jdm parts like front, rear bumper, the round jdm front bumper lights back in 2000.. It was fun to drive
Looking good guys! Nice of you to take care of your hard working back office employee!
Love that your restoring this cr-v. Wish you would’ve kept the cr-v decals...those are ultra rare and I love how it makes it look!
I think it's cool you guys have added some detailing to your skill sets. I think as a car enthusiast you just naturally become a better detailer over time, at least that was true for me. You want it too look good. I would add that you should do a decontamination after the wash with an iron remover spray then a clay bar. That way you don't load up that pad and get more swirls or haze. That's was a good choice for a pad. Another good choice for that polish would be the urofiber 50/50 pad or one like it. It's a duel blend microfiber that has a blend of cut and polish fibers. On the trim Meguiars rubber & vinyl cleaner and a trim specific product like Solution Finish. But ceramic coatings work great also to make them look richer longer.
The CRV already looks so legit... nice work
Love these sort of videos and I don’t know why!
The power coming on around 4500 rpm is something I've always associated with Hondas. You can squeeze some fun out of most Honda engines in higher revs.
Frankenstein the motor. B16 sir head/ b20 bottom end. Put the 5 speed in it, add the clutch delay valve to prevent grenading the transmission input shaft bearing.
For tree sap, use alcohol. It will not hurt the paint. It will however remove any protection that you have such as wax and sealant, so be sure to protect it afterwards. I use hand sanitizer to remove sap due to alcohol evaporating and running. Hand Sanitizer sits on the area and works. Once it's sat for a few minutes, rub it off.
Plot twist: he was about to sell the car
Nighthawk Black Pearl is a gorgeous black. I bought an '01 Type-R Integra in that color.
Love these kind of makeovers ....more please I watched the mazda 3 video.....liked and subscribed......also love the retro sound track.
I love this haha i have a black 5 speed crv just like this one. Lowered on coilovers and 18 inch rotiforms its just so easy to make it look mad clean
Nice job on the retrofit!
Awesome video!! We’re about to go explore ours!!
loved this video, cant wait for next videos about this crv !
Yes! Do my Element next! It's got a K24 in it...
I wish I could post pics of mine. I've had 4 at all times for 5 years now. I love the first gens. I have one for every type of build!
Wow that looks great. I need to pick up a black one for a daily
just bought an 03 CRV wtih 129k miles, drives like a beast in the snow.
Great video dudes... Go CRV go.. He loves his CRV cool ... Care the car all the time...
Fuck yea a crv video! Over here in Seattle, WA CRV’s are the new civics. Everybody’s building one now, even though it’s so under powered you can really make a crv look amazing.
The faded plastic trim/bumpers can be restored just using a heat gun. Worked great on my black 2001 crv 5spd awd
I must say, if the stripes are intact, or easily repaired, I LIKE THEM! Keep them on if possible.
Cool ride wish i could have those previous rims watching all the way from Mombasa Kenya
Man I love this CRV guys it looks amazing!
Had a 03 Si in nighthawk black pearl. One of the best black colors I’ve ever had
That synthwave song at 15:25 is life
Nighthawk Black is one of Honda’s greatest colors! They need to bring it back!
Ahah don't feel bad about geeky details Pete ! Yesterday I realised that on my M20 block that I've pulled out, I think the factory put a red paint mark around the diameter of the bore that is cast on the side, probably to makre easier to spot between different bore variants. Thing that I never saw before because after 30+ years, the blocks are covered by rust coated with oil leaks .. I like those details too !
Giving a older car new life, I love it !
I'll start my comment about ten minutes into this. I think this will look fantastic without the decals, sort of gives it a sleeper vibe. Yeah yeah, I know this thing won't burn up the quarter mile, but it looks great! The polishing will also add 2 grand to the value, in my humble opinion!
Great job! Almost makes me wish my wife's CR-V was not a 2016 model! LOL
I owned a 1998 it was identical to this...loved that car!
I have a 99 CRV 5spd manual 4wd with 256k miles. just started to leak coolant from radiator. going to replace it over the weekend! :D
First video i watch on this channel and i can tell ill be addicted lol
I learned that rubbing alcohol dissolves tree sap. I used it to clean all the tree sap from my Pilot. Works better and faster than bug and tar remover.
very awesome proper projectors retrofit!
Sooooooo good. Great tastes in your selections.
Two of my favorite cars are the first gen crv and first gen rav4. Great little drivers
Just subscribed, make more of THESE!
brothers video "on the hunt for oem parts for my ebay crv"
This video makes me wanna get rid of my 2016 crv and get a 1st gen again. Honda offered some crazy OEM options fo the CRV in other markets around the world. North America got the most plain versions
Going to look at a ‘98 tomorrow afternoon, honestly I hope it’s good, I’d love one
As far as that grey trim and bumper, you can use a heat gun and some time to restore it back to factory new, no need to paint. I do this on the cars I resell. Everyone LOVES it
