Holy thread revival. Incoming info dump.
So back in November after months of searching, I came across a 2011 CRZ Sport with genuine mugen kit however the previous owner hadn't opted for the wing. A few call later and the car was mine.
A 34K mile example was fitted with some rough Rota Blitz (17") wheels in black!
It was otherwise stock.
See pic:
The usual task of tidying the car up, removing stickers, dealer plates, orange indicator bulbs, adding LED reg plate lights, fitting a HID kit etc. All taken care of, I began to start modding.
I wanted to bring this car back to level my old CRZ was at, so since it has been in my possesion the below has been fitted:
- Tegiwa 2nd De-cat
- Spoon N1 backbox
- Spoon Panel filter
- Fresh brembo OEM brakes (disc & pads) all around
- Genuine Mugen Spoiler
- Pioneer Appleplay unit w/Genuine OEM Honda double Din panel
- Black Ice air freshner
Car now looks like the below:
This is only the start though! A HKS GT Supercharger kit has been ordered, along with the "fuel up kit", bigger injectors & 34mm air restrictor. (standard air restrictor is 28mm).
In laymans terms the standard GT SC kit will take a CRZ up to 170PS, a "fuel up kit" HKS GT SC will go to 200PS. This is the limit for the stock block, without forged rods.
I also have a set of Enkei RPF1's (in silver 17") on order w/Michelin PS4s to be fitted, Along with the Hondata Flash Pro required for the mapping.
I'm not touching the brakes, suspension or LSD side of things yet as I want to see how the car handles the extra power. My previous CRZ had the very simple Type R caliper swap (same caliper size just better clearance to allow for 300m front discs vs stock 262mm) so I may go this route again.
I wanted to get another CRZ for several reasons and the search began mid 2019. I wanted a Genuine Mugen kitted car but really did not want to buy a standard car and pay for the kit brand new to be fitted & painted as this wasn't a very cost effective way of doing it! Most likely cost the same value of the car, circa £6K.
So onto my main reasons for getting this. One was practicality, NSX & Supra are great cars but not ones I want to drive all weathers and park whereever. Two; nostalgia, I loved my CRZ and regretted never SCing it in the past. And finally, my dad was a big supporter of me SCing the car before and I wanted to get this done as a nod to him as he is no longer with us.
I hope you enjoy the write up.
but ahhh nice!!!
