Ordered some new tires and I'm excited for them to come in! There Cooper CS3's 205/65/15's, got them on a killer deal I couldn't pass. Had the Coopet CS4's on my old f20b coupe and put over 35k miles on them with 2.5 degrees of camber and they were still almost new! Can't wait and took a few pictures of the lift.

Cool.

What does the push bar attach to?

Front cross member, but I might remove it. Not sure yet. Tires are coming in tomorrow and can't wait!

[markrutherford]

No new real updates beside enjoying the life of off roading. And I taped up my steering wheel with bike tape and trading my sawblades soon and I can't wait! New tires will be installed too!

[markrutherford]

Well got rid of the sawblades due to them being bent. Sad to find out that they were bent but I got a set of 18x7.5 Riax wheels and a set of American Racing wheels 15x7.5 with 35 offeset as well. Got a good trade for the blades. Going to repaint the American Racing wheels white with black rivets and then install the big tires.

no love?

[markrutherford]

Well its been over a month now since I've updated. Well been driving the CB around everywhere and love the fact I don't scrap anymore and can just enjoy the car. But took a little trip the other day to abandoned Route 11 with my youngest and mother and it was something! I wish I took more pictures but I couldn't stop exploring and what not.

Enjoy the pictures and sorry for the huge pictures!

Mad Max comes to mind.

i'm liking this 'build', i've been thinking/debating to raise my CB and go with the "offroad" look but never can hind a conclusion.

were the CR-V struts a direct bolt on or did you need to make some modifications?

Thanks!

Funny thing is I watched the 1st Mad Max last night, and I am going for that look to a degree

Well the back springs fit nicely in the accord struts and the front springs will work with accord struts but the front end will not be even with the rear. So the front needs 97-01 CR-V springs and struts and they fit great! I love the lifted look now and will lift it another 2 inches with spacers in the spring, But the down side is you cant really run tires bigger then 26.5 inches without rubbing the rear knuckles.

If you have any questions shoot me a message.

[mugencivic4dr]

have you thought of putting spacers between the top part of the strut and where it bolts up to the chassis? there are spacer kits like that for jeeps that have the coil/strut combo.

Finally mounted the new wheels, painted them with bed liner as well. The tires are 205/65/15's Cooper CS3's and now I wish I went bigger. Anyways enjoy!
