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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Honestly, do more of these. One every 2 or 3 months for a fun diversion from the typical track builds.
