Hello from France!

[alollini]

I am the proud owner of a white CR-Z codename "Blue Inside" (see pictures)
34, living in Nice, France.
Upgrading from a Jazz (Fit) GD6 1.2L 78hp.

I purchased a French CR-Z with urban kit (bumpers)
Without glass ceiling
With front blade
With rear upper spoiler

And a great leather interior made by a local specialist.

My projects are to gradually make some changes, engine mapping to adapt to a new (maybe HKS) airfilter, new weels (maybe OZ allergeria), and removing cleanly the rear seats.

Hey, welcome to the forum .

Hello and welcome...

Welcome to the site.

[alollini]

Hello again, now i have some mods, stated with OZ lighweght wheels, Continental Sport Contact 3 performance tires (perfect on wet and dry)
continued with Spoon Throttle Body
continued with HKS RSR Racing Suction Reloaded kit.
continued with Spoon N-1 Exhaust.

TESTED ON TRACK !! (i am a noob circuit driver, this was my first track day)

after a wet morning, the dry afternoon enabled a lot of fun.

The very modest hp FWD hybrid was of course ridiculous on the straight line, the the track had only one short strait.

Most the other cars were 6 cylinders, most turbo, or at least K20 2L L4.

in the S, the curves and bends, i was able to follow a Boxter GT, same pace, the CR-Z is extracting from curve faster than the Porshe Boxter.
all that with stock transmission, no LSD, stock suspension, and less than 140hp.

The pro pilots sitting with me said that chassis is absolutely great, but 3rd gear is awfully too long to compete, but overall they said the car is great.

i have a summary of my day here and a picture

I have an updated gallery with all the mods so far.
it starts from the sight of a nice NSX (NS-sex) wich is inspiration and the the CRZ as purchased, and then the mods.

including my new home made plastic CAI

and my two days on the track.

the new CAI is working great in 2nd gear where the heat problem was the most obvious, since at higher speed the front scoop was playing its role great.
when speed is slower, the cooler airflow is helping a lot, i feel 2nd gerar much stronger.
overall it feels like 4 or 5 hp more, and the gear changes have much more punch.
sound incredible.
