What's up everyone! I'm a long time Honda owner who finally picked up a CRZ two days ago. My favorite car Honda ever made was the CRX, so naturally I wanted a CRZ when they were announced, but I was turned off when I found out they were hybrid. Fast forward almost 10 years and man I really wish I would've picked one up sooner, it honestly feels like a new age CRX to me, at least a USDM factory CRX, haha. I even feel like the 3 driving modes reflect the 3 trims of CRX that were available in the US: Econ=HF, Normal=DX, Sport=Si, but that's just my opinion.
The car it self is a completely bone stock 2011 Crystal Black Pearl EX 6MT, 1 owner with 168,5xx miles and was sold to me by a good friend of mine for $1500.
The site won't let me link my photos as this if my first post so check my next comment on the thread.
The car seems solid outside of it needing new front rotors and a new wheel bearing, from what I can tell so far. It's ridiculously dirty though, as it basically sat in my buddy's yard after he got a new car, but I should be dropping it off for a professional detail tomorrow. I'd usually do it myself, but I don't have a sander, buffer, shampoo-er or a steam cleaner and this thing needs the works!
Short term plans are the full mugen lip kit, along with the wing and grill, coilovers, wheels/tires, intake, header/front pipe/midpipe, exhaust and flashpro. Long term plans include a kswap and the rexxstyling stealth v2 wide body, but I'm still finishing up my GSR turbo build on my CRX so that's gonna take priority on larger purchases for awhile.
Things I've ordered so far:
-OEM Armrest
-OEM Cargo Tray - the car already has the OEM all weather floor mats so I wanted the cargo tray to match.
-Replacement key housings that convert the key to a flip out key. - Both keys that came with the car are functional, but physically damaged.
-LED bulbs for the interior lights(dome, cargo, courtesy etc)
-iJDMTOY LED rear bumper lights.
-2011 Civic eBay yellow fogs to replace both my broken ones
-New FRAM cabin air filter
I also tried putting the broadway mirror I use in my RL into the CRZ and it's a little too tall(hits the headliner), causing it to point too far down. I looked into other mirror alternatives and am thinking I'm going to install a 13+ rear view that has the video input, so I can put in a backup camera. On the subject of mirrors, I know the T1R side view mirrors were the de-facto product to fix the blind spot issue, but seeing as how these are discontinued, are there other convex mirrors that function similarly?
That's about all I have for now!
