Hi All,

I just got my 2011 CR-Z today. It's a white EX with nav. I came here to learn more about what I can do with and to my new CR-Z.

Hi Derrick. Got a North Shore Blue CVT EX about 6 weeks ago, and LOVING it. Welcome to the forum, and enjoy your awesome ride!

Hi Guys and thanks for the welcome. I'm looking forward to learning more about this cool little ride.

To give a bit more info, I chose the name Old School, because... well, I'm relatively old (34). That and I used to own an old school CR-X, a 1990 model Si. The CR-Z is a 6 speed manual. I will be doing a few mods right off the bat from the Honda accessories catalog. I want to add the center arm wrest and the Front Lip Spoiler. I may also add the Rear Diffuser but I haven't seen one in person so I don't know if I'd like it.

I am here to learn about potential mods for more power. The obvious intake and exhaust I pretty much know about, but are there any other mods available for a little more power? Has anyone here installed a turbo or supercharger on their CR-Z yet? If so, how do you feel about it.

Any and all comments and suggests are greatly appreciated.

Congrats and welcome!

I too had a CR-X SI, in yellow.

I stupidly sold it in 1994 to a 20-something airhead who totaled it the following week.

But now I have a unique hybrid two-seater with 6MT; a winning combo

Edit: add info

Welcome and congrats on the new CRZ! If you're "old school" at 34, guess I'm ancient school here at 50

Enjoy the car. I haven't done any mods as it's a dd for me and I'm planning to keep mine fairly close to original, but there's plenty of advice here on some ways to get a bit more power.
