QUOTE(Omnipotent @ Jan 6 2014, 10:43 AM) was travelling on the NSH last friday evening and there was a heavy downpour. I was travelling at 110kph on the overtaking lane and i hit some running water on the road. VSC light was blinking for about 5 secs but the car remained straight. question is, did my car aquaplaned due to the lousy bridgestone tires or because the car is too light? never had that problem in my nose heavy V6 running on michelins... 5 secs blink is quite serious. but i think any car can aquaplane, but this heavily depends on your tires. you are on original tires? those aren't too bad tires

I dont think weight is the problem. as busses and lorries will suffer aquaplanning too. could be the tires.

Modern cars if you believe, has little to no need of Stiff Ring or generally called rigid collar. LCP wise, yes... I was skeptical for so many years until I decided to put it on after reading tons of reviews + expertise from maddriver and drex. The claim of losing top speed is quite non-sense now as I have installed it and tried it. But as far as I recall, Mythelogy are not doing LCP for Honda models. I am lucky to get one from them when they just produced 5 units to be tested.

Stiff ring is good, car feels more taut during cornering and responds better. However, note 2 things over the stiff rings, first it may void warranty for your subframe chassis, and potentially the whole car. Secondly, the installation have to be done precisely (using a torque wrench, not by mechanic's feel) and have to be re-tighten again later roughly 2-3 weeks after installation. Make sure installation is done professionally no matter where you go to... I have never used LCP on the Honda engine, but did use one previously on my Nissan. I refused to use LCP on the LEA engine as there is no internal balancer for the engine (there is internal balancing for the Nissan), hence no feedback over the LCP. But from my Nissan's feel, it definitely liberates more power and torque as the LCP is much lighter than the normal crank pulley. Just make sure you do not undersize the pulley if you intend to change it, and make sure there is a dampener on the LCP when you install (excessive vibration on the crank can potentially be catastrophic). Cheers...

ok one complaint about the auto stop it seems to shut the engine even if i have the car in gear with the clutch depressed at low speed. and if i accelerate again at any other gear (lets say gear 2) other than gear 1, it doesn't start by itself! what happens is that there is a major drag as i let go of the clutch but the engine is still stopped is this damaging to the transmission/car?? can't find info about the damage putting the car in gear in a moving car when the engine is dead

The moment you lift off the brakes the engine should restart. Yes,I'm talking abt the manual crz. Only on 1st gear that you can keep the engine running with the clutch depressed. This is one of the method I use in bumper to bumper jams

Hi CR-Z Owner, This morning I bump into a CR-Z rear bumper. The clip at both side seems like came off. I tried to push it in but it doesn't stick. May I know how much it cost to repair this? Please see attached image. It is the lower part of the rear bumper, the black color part (in red circle). And the side that came off is as per yellow color arrow. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « [attachmentid=3805837]

Thanks @Naka7a , i guess i'll need to ask owner to try to push it back at Honda SC then. if the clips really broken...then i've no choice but to pay for whole bumper.

2 weeks ago my CRZ also got banged by a Kancil. I walk down to check the damage, little of paint scratched & left side of my diffuser was separated with the bumper. When i gonna mad of the driver, i saw his bonnet was kemek, with little smokes and water starts leaking under the engine, then i silent..
Lucky his a foreman also, taking my car to his workshop, assemble back the diffuser, little paint job, settle..
Thumbs up for Honda not using fragile material as the Kancil does. XD
