Posted on FB but not here. On Saturday I put in a GE8 manifold (thanks @ptrhang !), did an MTF change and test fitted the C-West under spoiler. It's gonna need a good bit of fitment work and paint, so if anyone knows a person who can do that sort of work in PA let me know!
When I went to school in upstate New York we used to put on the antennas a large flag with our initials but back in those days cars had fixed mast antennas. I am not sure what you do these days to make sure you clear off the right car. 🤪
Huh... and I was thinking my OEM brakes were doing just fine at that particular junction in the road. (I was just being a little too casual, considering there was a FULL STOP just ahead, er, right NOW.)

Well... If I do legend 2 pistons then the housemate will get the type S calipers. He got the fit manifold when I went full Sprintex. He's also got a free used throttle body to give it the maxbore treatment... I'm trying to get him ready for Dragon meet 2020 so he won't have an excuse to take out the V8 Stang.
I bought a plug and play wiring harness for the LED lights on the lip for $20. I was never going to run the LED lights but I got bored and decided I should put it to use & have fun with it. I didn’t want to tap into my fogs or DRL cause it’s not worth it. I’m going to run the LED lights independently. I didn’t get to finish the passenger side cause I lost the extra wiring that came with the lip but here’s a couple sample photos with the LED lights on with the fogs off/on.
Tinkering around in the garage this morning, and thought I'd check the air filter on the CVT-CR-Z. It's got a Mugen air box, and my other CR-Z has the HPD, and for some reason, I thought both of them used the same filter (from an '09 Civic Si,) but nope--the Mugen box is not as wide as the HPD's. On top of that, I totally forgot that the Mugen box had the K&N reusable filter, which just needs cleaned and oiled. Not sure where my head was at this morning, so I wrote that off as getting old and senile.
Anyhow, I cleaned up the K&N and let it dry near a furnace vent while doing the weekly car clean-up/detail routine. Put the clean and dried air filter in, bolted up the Mugen air box, and just as I closed the hood, looking at the shiny, clean car with a clean air filter--I realized I forgot to spray/oil the filter after cleaning. [Remove filter again, and oil it...] Diagnosis now confirmed: Not getting old and senile, I've actually gotten it, for sure.
Just installed chinese android head unit with GPS and and rear view camera.
Before:
After:
Unfortunately my hazard lights button and passenger airbag panel did not fit out of the box. I think that the bracket was made to replace original navigation head unit. I had to fabricate custom bracket for hazard lights button (the screw holes were too far apart and the same length while my button required different length. The passenger airbag panel had to be sanded down on one side to fit the bracket. I also had to cut one side of the mounting bracket.
The rearview camera is also mounted on custom bracket on distances, so it hides inside of the bumper partially. I've also painted screws with the same color as the bumper (I bought the original paint some time ago to correct some rock chips).
I guided the cable to rear view camera inside the center console, under the carpet, under rear seat, then to the side trunk panel. Tapped to the reverse light inside the car, just removed part of the insulation without cutting the wires and soldered my power cable to that. Then I guided connectors from the camera to the inside using original hole with rubber gasket (it was hard to fit connectors through the gasket, but I was able to force them in, then used PVC tape to seal the gasket the same way it was originally, so it shouldn't allow any water inside.
The device itself is pretty nice, 8 core intel atom, 64 gb internal memory and 4gb ram. It's very responsive and packs tons of funtions. My original steering wheel buttons allows me to control music, radio and answer / reject calls (next track also rejects calls, previous track answers). I've also inserted a sim card, so I have internet in car without the need of turning on hotspot on my phone. I primarily listen to spotify, so now it saves me a lot of weird movements to fish out my phone from the pocket.

I did similar in mine with a 10" model though it looks similar (as they all seem to do) to yours, however; I do like how yours is more molded in...what model is it?

A couple weeks ago I was at a national park in my 2011 Honda CR-Z and as I pulled up to a curb made of natural rocks one of them managed to catch up underneath the bumper/skirt enough that it pushed my skirt into my windshield washer pump. I noticed fluid leaking out at the time and a week later...
It's time for new seat covers. I know a lot of you guys get some high end items when you purchase them. I'm going for some basic bitch seat covers, I just want them to fit, or be as close to fitting as a one size fits most can. I'm looking at some $20-$40 Amazon items.
So are the CR-Z (2014)...
Hi all,
I had some almost new 185/65R15 snow tires from a previous vehicle and wanted to swap them over to my '16. This would be an ideal snow setup for me: skinnier, 65 ratio sidewall, all the stuff you want for snow tires. The tires were on VW bolt pattern/offset wheels so I found this...
Hey CR-Z community!
Prospective owner who test drove a bone stock 13 EX/CVT and am looking for more intel on the state of the state of the CR-Z world in terms of supercharging. I read the massive sprintex thread (that google result led me here).
First of all: What's still available new...
Recently started having problems with door handle sticking, not returning to flush position, and door being difficult to open. I'm afraid the door handle may break off. Has anyone else had a problem like this? If so, what was the fix?
