Hello everyone. I already had an into thread maybe about 2 years ago when I had first bought the car. At the time, I had three cars (like an idiot), and my CR-Z served as a really great daily driver for living in San Francisco. I've since sold my track car and shifted my focus to building my older Civic to compete in Global Time Attack. This build is meant to be simple as the car is my daily driver.

Pro photos here. The car felt slow as hell once the battery was depleted. I was hoping to supercharge it, but after a lot of back and forth with the retailer and going over it in my head, I decided against it. Laguna has a lot of elevation changes, so I knew going in that it would be slow. The car is better suited running at Thunderhill West or Buttonwillow. I haven't documented it yet, but I upgraded to Spoon calipers prior to this event.

Looks great, especially the shots with the bridge in the background. San Fran is one of the few places I haven't been too yet. Look beautiful. (y)(y)
