Looking pretty good bud. Haven't actually heard much in regards to crz performance. What's it like? Have you driven any other cars in the honda family you could compare it to?

[wongy]

The car has 3 modes,

Economy
Normal (default)
Sports

In economy it's fairly sluggish, it's a mode made to save fuel.

In normal it feels like a normal daily commute car. Not fast. Not too slow.

In sports it feels like a sports car, everything is more sensitive (brake, gas) I'm not sure if the steering feels more responsive or if its just in my head but that too.

Overly it's not a fast car, but it does have a bit of tang and zip in sports mode.

After owning and driving a DC2R, S2000 and Accord euro, I can say its definitely slower than all 3.

I can't say wether it is better than the cars I've previously owned, but I can say I'm not disappointed in choosing the 6MT CRZ.

Haha, not really a build thread man, I do have plans for the car but not in a way that it would be a build.

This is more to capture my thoughts during the ownership of the car.

K20ing is out of the question..... Right now.

Looking good Ly. Especially with the tinted tails.

wooow congrads on the new ride, don't there is nothing at the moment but later on like 8-12 months time there will be just like the Ep3's 5 years ago.

Well I hope you're right.

The CRZ landed on aus shores for about 2 years now.

There was actually more support when they first came out than they do now from what I gathered.

Hopefully becomes more affordable to new drivers.

[Perry]

How much do they go for these days?

[xntrik]

Brand new 2013 model 42k+ which has less after market support but cooler factory options.

[xntrik]

The 2012 and lower models, last I checked a month ago was about 30k used.

Starting at 38k brand new.

These prices were/are excluding dealer fees

[Perry]

ohhh damn I see why not much people are buying it now.

Look into JRSC kit for the L15. Gives 50% power gains and is still emission friendly in CA, which means it will pass out Euro 5 emissions easy. Also, JR didnt change a single component in the exhaust system when they made this kit, so with and exhaust you will see even more

Haha.
Maybe when I seek more power, I was reading about this the other day.
