I will start this build with the end of another.
I bought this auto RT with the intention of a DD. Unfortunately shortly after owning it the Trans blew up. With leaving to VA for some military training I was unable to fix it and so it sat. I tossed the idea of parting her out and making my money back but I decided it would be much better to let him go to a new home. So with that it left me and now slo88crx is the proud new owner and is doing right by the RT.
I have since transferred to Pearl Harbor, HI. And that is where my new "Build" begins.
Interior is super clean, has all floor mats and passenger under seat tray.
One of the coolest things about the crv I think is the CRV table!
So some basic details, it's a 2000 lx rt4wd auto. 135000miles and I'm the second owner. Interior is easily a 9.5 out of 10, engine runs strong and quiet. Now on to the down side which to me is very small and fixable.
So over all it perfect for what I need. Plans for now are very basic, fix rust and fender, get some visors because it seams to sprinkle every day.
For all of you crv owners out there what fluids do you use for the Trans and diff?
Thanks for looking -Dustin

Looks like a decent one too.
For Gearbox just use Honda MTF/ATF, rear diff uses Honda DPSF but in New Zealand that doesnt get imported so Honda recommends using Honda CVTF, diff takes 1L
One thing with checking is that all your swaybar endlinks are tight, they seem to have a way of working themselves loose and rattling around, particularly if you do a bit of offroad work.
Also this sounds really stupid, but when going up an incline at higher speeds should od be engaged or disengaged? I'm not very enlightened on autos. To give an example I was going through the mountains here at 45mph at approximately 3k. I don't want to burn this Trans up.

So this is a 4x6 rug and the dimensions are actually exactly what I needed. Obviously it will need to be trimmed around the strut access covers and get some velcro to keep it in place. Finished pictures will be posted when complete.
Some of the other upcoming projects include installing some monsoon visors and a little audio upgrade.
And lastly a picture of the tool cart my wife got me for valentines day.
Phase 1 is complete. Next step is to get some velcro to help keep it in place. Lastly replace the gorilla tape with actual fabric and sew it up.
So since I didn't get any service records from the previous owner I think it's time to change all of the fluids, and check the valve clearance since these are known for burning valves. All I'm waiting on is a new head unit so I can hook up my amp and 10" sub while I have the dash apart anyways to replace the cabin filter.
