As long as the Lady in the house have a 4 door car to drive, or have a 4 door car as a spare, I think your options to get a CRZ (or any other car you like) is open anytime. It does not matter much if it is a Myvi or a BMW, most ladies do not think so much about the cars anyway (they worry more on their makeups and handbags, and Robinson's sales).

The CRZ will lose out to the FD 2.0 as the speed and rpm goes up, it runs out of breath as the Rpm creeps to 5000 or more... thanks to the small engine capacity. Low rpm, electric motor helps a lot to keep the pace up, but once the motor runs out of juice, the FD will soar by....
BTW, would like to ask, did u do any dyno before on your FD 2.0? Would like to know what kinda power does the FD deliver on the wheels?

Coilovers, I would take Showa Tuning.... specially made for CRZ. All our CRZ came standard with Showa shocks anyway. The Showa Tuning ones are better, but comes with a high price. It is also non-adjustable, which is good for me, as I don't want local "engineers" to mess around with the coilover settings based on their street "experience".
Can't seem to find anyone selling them though...

Changing the speakers will not improve your sound system, as you are still using the same output from the stock headunit, which is rather weak to drive aftermarket car audio speakers. If you are unlucky, the sound may even be worse, as aftermarket speakers require more wattage from which only an amplifier can deliver, and not from a stock headunit. No point changing speakers only if you are not willing to invest in an amplifier IMHO, you are better off with stock as everything has been pre-matched in the factory.

As for warranty matters, speakers can void the warranty, as Honda dealers can claim anything they want based on the changes you have made to the car, and there's nothing you can do about it. If you want to keep the warranty, would suggest that you keep the car stock (everything) and you'd be fine....

Our CRZ is really Malaysian-Edition, even the ECU for Malaysian CRZ are different from the ECU used in CRZ from other countries, including Japan.

It usually never reaches full. Only on rare circumstances such as prolonged downhill or coasting will the battery charges fully. I have charged it full before, but only on very few occasions, so don't worry about it.
Anyway like all batteries, it is not recommended to fully charge the batteries all the time as it will damage the batteries in the long term.

Your best bet would be Honda Service Centers, especially on low volume items like rear windscreen. However, I believe you'd need to leave the car there for a while, as they go order the part from Japan. I think in COCM, there was a member who had to replace the small rear windscreen, and had to wait a few weeks for it to be shipped from Japan. Naturally the car had to be left in the Service Center until the part arrives.

Congrats to both of u...
Now Tavis88, can you come out with Car Door Handle Protection Films for the CRZ please?? Hahaha...

Yes, it is the charcoal filter smell, although I would not say it smells like bangkai, it just smell bad when aircon is switched on. Go claim it from your SC under warranty from Honda.

New owner's dilemma huh? Actually going all the way to redline also is fine, just don't do it consistently for the first 1000km, just in case there are some flaws in the component manufacturing. Furthermore, you should not drive the car very long distances without stopping too, or alternatively, let the engine cool down in between the journey. Don't worry too much about the engine, they are built to be reliable, and someone in the factory would have revved the engine above 6000rpm before you even received the car already (they test almost every car on a rolling dyno before sending it out of the factory)

Hahaha, don't worry, I did the same as well... the car still running

Mitsu car plates comes standard with the side holder, and have been thru JPJ, thus no issues with JPJ. Ours in the other hand, isn't unfortunately....

Don't think so bro.... GE8 Jazz uses 5-Speed Autobox, only the old GD Jazz uses the CVT. However, I m not sure if GD CVT box is the same as the CRZ one though....

No idea, no one used the CVT long enough to know yet. My opinion is that Honda would have fixed that issue before putting it into the CRZ, but that's just my opinion lor

Wow... you got 2 cars at once?

Trees... watch out for falling leaves especially the small ones....
Took me one full day with a toothpick just to get them out of all the crevices... I now cringe to see trees above my Z..

No speed limiter on Malaysia's CRZ, as we do not use the same ECU as Japan.

Can you check what RPM are you hitting at that speed? The rev limiter is 6500rpm, thus if you are no where close to that RPM, you should still be able to tekan more.

All export models have different ECUs compared to Japan, US have their own set, Europe have their own, Malaysia/Asia have our own set, while Japan have their own set of ECU.
Currently in record, there are 5 different sets of ECU for the CRZ around the world. The Hondata website list out of ECUs available : http://www.hondata.com/flashpro_cr-z.html

Just becareful when you are doing that kind of speed....
