2008 CRV

[JT.]

Has anyone managed to get a widebody in a series 3 (2008) Honda CRV? Did you need to remove the rear seats/centre console to fit it in? Seems like it might be tight, having measuring it with the seats folded up, but interested if someone has experience?

Ive gotten a normal pin i a CRV, never tried a widebody. The head was removed too

Thanks Jonathan, can I double check it was a 2007 CRV model or later? I know the pre-2007 model was a bit bigger.

That doesn't seem possible.

Would like to see a pic of it.

It was a 2010 model. Like i say though, the head was removed. It was a shadow

Would still love to see a pic of that.

Sounds like square peg round hole.

I didn't take one. John Hurst was there though



Are you sure you are thinking of a CRV, there was plenty of room to spare

I am thinking of the small sports is it the CVR.

Shoot me!

CRZ is what I was thinking of.

You can now see why I thought of square peg round hole.

Speaking of holes I need one to open up and swallow me at this moment in time. DOH

Thanks Jonathan. Was removal of the head essential in your view, or was that just how the pin came? I was originally concerned by front-to-rear space rather than top-to-bottom tbh. Let me know.

I know its a late reply but . . .

Fits in no problem. Cant see a widebody being an issue either. You have to take the shooter rod off to get the door closed though unfortunately. Either that or tie the boot shut with some string

I removed the rear seats in the end (didn't want to drive 2 hours to find out it wouldn't fit). Rear seats are only held on with two bolts each - 15 min job to remove them, then it's truly cavernous
