Another big update for the $1100 CR-V! 🛞 I found a set of 2022 Civic wheels for only $200, which was an absolute steal. I also found some fairly used 215/55/18 tyres on Facebook Marketplace for $60 each and worked out a deal to have them fitted and balanced. These new wheels completely changed the look of the car! What do you guys think? 👇

Another update on the $1100 CR-V! 🛠️ I just installed a new Apple CarPlay and Android Auto system. I really needed proper music and Google Maps for this budget build. I found a great plug-and-play kit for $180, and it even came with a reverse camera. The whole process took about 2 hours to install. So happy with how this looks and works! 🚙🎶

Another maintenance update on the $1100 Honda CR-V! 🛠️ I have been getting really bad fuel economy (about 7km per liter), so it was time for a tune-up. I swapped out the dirty air filter , replaced the spark plugs, and cleaned up the dirty coils. The fuel injectors were the worst part—they had huge carbon buildup, broken filters, and crusted rubber seals. Fingers crossed this fixes the fuel economy! 🤞⛽

update on my $1100 Honda CR-V! 🛠️ I bought some replacement doors from UPullIt and fixed the bad clear coat. I also brought the faded black trim back to life. Doing the work myself is the best way to stay on a tight budget. How does it look? Let me know below! 👇

Got the replacement doors for the CR-V! Managed to score them at Upullit Elizabeth for just $103 using some of my credits. The best part? They’re the exact same color code! The clear coat is looking a bit rough, but I’ll do a DIY fix on that later.
Huge shoutout to my EK Civic for helping me haul them home—with some tie downs and the boot open, we made it back safe. It’s not perfect yet, but for now, this is a massive win! 🛠️🚗

Won this 2005 Honda CR-V at auction for only $1100! 🔨 Low price, high potential. It’s got two damaged doors, but that’s just the start of the project. This 4x4 is officially joining the family for weekend missions and some much-needed adventure. Now, if someone could just make petrol prices drop, we’d be set! ⛽️📉
​Stay tuned—I’ll be posting frequent updates as I bring this one back to life.

Honestly, I’m still trying to process everything from Saturday. I am genuinely shaken by the turnout—seeing 80+ Hondas and over 100 cars total fill that space was something I didn't think was possible.
​To every owner who brought their pride and joy: thank you. The quality and the energy were unmatched.
​Moving forward, we’ve decided to keep these niche meets going. They won’t be a regular thing, but when the timing is right and the location is beautiful, we’ll be back. It’s all about that "quality over quantity" feel that made this one so special.
​A massive personal thank you to and for the incredible initiative and all the running around to make this happen. And to , thank you for all the help behind the scenes in organizing the logistics. This team is everything.
​Until next time. ✌️🏎️

Three Hondas, three different styles, one perfect lineup. 🔥

Fit, my S660, and EK all parked up together at the meet venue and they just look right. Different builds, different vibes, but somehow they go perfectly side by side.

If this is how the preview looks, just wait until the whole crew pulls in. Get ready… it’s about to be views on views. 👀

See you all on March 14 at 6:30 PM.
