I want to stop receiving email messages about boosting power on a Honda. Can you help?



Thanks

Plug in your expected gas mileage and cost-per-gallon for gas here, Marti:

The round trip will be approximately 2460 miles.

Example at local Colorado fuel costs:

2460 miles/27 mpg = # of gallons x 1.39/gallon = $126.64

...must also add in road-food costs as well as lodging (if required.)

...if time is valuable to you, place some value on that. Approximately 38-40
actual traveling-road-hours.

Rick,

Thanks for the information. I was considering the motel costs, as it will
involve two nights going, and two nights coming. I had not considered the
food :-)

A few months ago we went to Albuquerque, and experienced so much down
shifting when going through the mountains. This added to our gas expense.

Thanks again!

Marti

I would say about 90 - 95 gallons depending on the hills and how heavy your
foot is.



90 X 1.35 = 121.50  

I am fairly certain it stands for Civic Recreational Vehicle since it
is rides on the same platform as the Civic.

Not as far as I know, the stand for Compact
Recreational Vehicle.

It is (and this is official) Comfortable Runabout-Vehicle. Why is it
hyphenated... I dunno... maybe they thought it looked better as CR-V rather
then CRV.

How is it official? According to HONDA of America it
is Compact Recreational Vehicle, point us to your
source please

Hi Gianni,

So did you have a link to share too?

Not that it's a big deal, since it's a great vehicle by any name, but I
always thought it was "Comfortable Runabout Vehicle."

However, it looks like it depends where you're located.

I went to Google and did a search on "Comfortable Runabout Vehicle"
(with the quotes so it searches for that string, there are a number of
hits related to the Honda. There was even one on the world Honda site:
http://world.honda.com/news/2001/4010918.html

Here's a page on Japan Honda which is in Japanese, but has an image
with "Comfortable Runabout Vehicle" at the bottom of the page:
http://www.honda.co.jp/factbook/auto/CR-V/200109/02.html

Searching on "Compact Recreational Vehicle" yielded fewer hits, but
there was an official Honda site in the UK:
http://www.mfg.honda.co.uk/Internet/HUM00254.nsf/All/
5DEBY7JSEO?opendocument

Here's a UK site which helps clarify the confusion:
http://www.carkeys.co.uk/features/FE000302.htm

At the bottom of the article they state:
"As mentioned previously, we're still trying to get used to the fact
that while the abbreviation CR-V is expanded here into Compact
Recreational Vehicle, in Japan the CR stands for Comfortable Runabout.
Take your pick."

I couldn't find any reference at all to either moniker on the Honda US
site. In fact, they seem to avoid identifying it. Here is a press
release where they say they should change the name to "Customer
Requested Value" but it doesn't identify what the name would be
changing from.

Take care.

Karl

Thanks!
I knew it was official since the CR-V was first introduced. I was unaware
that the name has been expanded upon once it left Japan.

And this came my way today...

Anybody out there who would like to translate the works??

Not a translation of the Japanese page you pointed out - a facts page howev=
er. Hope it helps.

Hi Annu, When you lower your car you get negative camber (the wheels tilt in at the top), this can cause uneven tire wear (the insides of the tire wear more rapidly than the outsides of the tires), The more you lower the car the more negative camber you cause, therefore more pronounced tire wear. If you lower your car up to 1.75" the camber will not be too extreme, about a degree or so...If you religiously rotate your tires, you should be ok, If you drop your car more than 1.75" you should get a camber kit or you might be buying tires more regularly than you might wish. You require a camber kit because Honda/Acura's double wishbone suspension does NOT allow for camber correction. These camber kits cost about 400 bucks for all four wheels, some what cheaper than new tires. If you are lowering the car...get the camber kit installed at the same time this will keep your labor charges to a minimum. I assume you have 205-50 -15's on your Momo's, you MIGHT have some problems with the front tires rubbing on the inner fender liner, near the fender lip when you lower the car, it all depends on the offset the rims came with. My rims (TSW Quads ) came with a 37mm offset, and they rubbed, I had them machined in 2mm, to 35mm. Tony, another EL owner on this list runs on Momo Arrows, which are rubbing as well, I believe he has a offset around 37mm. Just be prepared, when you lower your car, you might have to machine your rims or roll the fender lip. The other issue is with a lowered car...... curbs, speed bumps, and snow drifts can cause damage to your stock front spoiler/fender lip, I have already cracked and chipped mine from impacts with curbs/speedbumps etc(and I am a fairly careful driver). If you live in an area with bad roads or heavy snow you may want to consider a less extreme lowering around 1" or go to coil-overs so you can adjust the ride height depending on the road conditions. I hope this helps Cheers Andrew D
