According to Hondapartsnow.com the "correct" temporary spare for the CR-Z is a 15x4 wheel w/ 135/80-15 tire. I can check what I have in my trunk when I get home tomorrow.
What did you do to the 'Z today?
So other car forums I've been on have had a thread where you can go and post up a brief description and a couple of pics of something you did to your car today. Since we don't have one on here(neither Google or I were able to find one) I decided to try and start one.
Ran power and ground wires for my amp tonight. Power was a pain to get through the firewall, but I ended up using the OEM grommet behind the fan on the passenger side footwell. Tucked all the wire away and at first glance you probably wouldn't even notice it which is just the way I like it.

I bought the kit that hondapartsnow populated based on my car. When I look at #2 in the parts list it shows as a 16x4 but individually it shows discontinued...
I'll have to wait and see what it comes with and go from there. Would not make sense to have a 16" rim with any sidewall over 55.
When I plug in the part number for the one you showed me it says it's the wrong one based on my car.
Spent the afternoon yesterday chasing down a rough idle.
I do not have a vacuum leak that I can find. I pulled the coils, thy all look fine, I pulled the spark plugs. They looked good for 70K miles, But I opted to replace them.
So far, it seems better, but I wanna get more miles on it to make sure. I don't know if I need to get a tune done after installing a Takeda Momentum Air intake. My MAS is supper clean, the Air filter has been freshly cleaned and oiled.
The rough Idle was bad enough to notice, but not bad enough to throw a code. The wiper arms were shanking like crazy at a stop. With the car in or out of gear, with the AC compressor on or off.
I was going to do a break fluid Exchange, but Maryland weather is what it is, and a day I get out of the office, it rains.
::Edit:: just took it out to do some errands, and yep, that Idle is still kinda rough, Not as bad as it was. I guess i should do a valve job, and then maybe look at replacing the Coils.
Any suggestions?

Finally installed Honda Access window visors. The price just keep going up on these🥲.

Picked it up yesterday. Had the hatch hinge corrosion fixed at a body shop. Bought new hinges and had them do the rest. Pricier than cleaning it myself but lifetime warranty on the work so if it ever comes back they will take care of it. Also had the rear bumper resprayed as it was a little beat up when I bought it. Happy to have it checked off the list.

took it down to the Tail of the Dragon last week for some fun driving. Managed to catch some drywall on the interstate on the way down there. put a new chip in the windshield and cracked the driver's mirror housing.
Would have been way worse, it was aimed straight for the windshield when it first flipped up, but I managed to brake and swerve enough to hit it slower and off the centerline.
the photographers down there got a nice pic from the good side lol.

Hybrid Racing cable bushings and boot collar, new negative cable from battery (old one looked a bit grubby), cleaned throttle body while the air box was out and a fresh air filter. Will be replacing the shifter housing with either oem or buddy club as I have both on hand just not sure which one I want to go with. Seen both good and bad reviews of the Buddy Club SS.
*edit: the shift cable bushings feel fantastic and it finds its gears much cleaner now.
The boot collar I'm not liking. It looks nice but it actually raises the height of the shift knob. I ordered an acuity hoping it will work without the height difference.

The inner threaded piece looks like it should thread down lower over the shift lever but mine isn't wide enough to fit over and bottoms out way too high. Shame cause I really like the look of it otherwise. Hopefully the Acuity piece will sit lower.
