why would you want to void your engine warranty just by using a different oil? it's almost negligible difference. unless you plan on doing engine mods (rebore, cams, turbo, sc, lightening internals etc) then i don't think risking the warranty is worth it

Scraped my front bumper...some paint went off. Need to respray whole bumper or touch up? Normally how much?

sure no prob. i'll post it here.

Normally prepare about RM100-RM150 to get it touched up at a paint shop for that side of the bumper only. If the original paint is still new then the touch up should also blend in quite well and not noticeable

I also got a lot of stone chips at one side of the bumper.

Can just touch up or need to repaint the whole bumper?

wait until you get more serious paint damage then only fix

Tampal sticker... if it gets worse, change bumper to tuner bumpers

Thats what i thought. Just waiting for it to get worse then change diff bumper haha

Or just get those touch up I paint for 50 bucks and paint urself

Hello..

New owner CRZ or i call my car Lizzy... ..just want some info..

I want to change my stock rim to new O.Z. Ultraleggera in Matt black colour , 8j x 17" offset 48. but im worried it will effect FC and handling.. anyone here using same size of rim... can u give me some tip or info before start to order this rim... thks..


Attached thumbnail(s)

Bigger = heavier rims, heavier tires, higher rolling resistance; but bigger contact patch (trade-off higher resistance), less tire wall flex during hard cornering.
In short, yes it will give better handling, but if you are those who are concerned on small FC changes, then stick to ori rims, as that is the best compromise the manufacturer can provide. As to how much the FC will drop, it all depends on your right foot.
I am running on 18" BTW, so 17" FC compromise is pretty small in my opinion. However, my rims are lightweight rims which helps tremendously on FC (among other things).
Cheers!

I recently changed my windscreen at Kah Motor Honda Body Repair (Insurance claim around RM5k). Now also scraped my front bumper. My CR-Z not yet reach 2 months old and already suffered these two things My poor baby.

I just decided to use touch up paint on my bumper scrape, cause quite small. Will spray it whole when theres significant damage cause it will cost 300+

300+ for touch up or whole bumper? Any idea where you're going to do it?

repaint whole bumper.. in sarawak its actually a honda panel shop without going through honda. Now i only touch up with free paint BUT will obviously look patched up.

If you can get more horsepower and better FC, i think even F1 engineer will come looking for you..

look at it this way. for us vtec's 1hp=Rm 1000.
unless u play with a bolt on or supercharger straight.

Im actually using the same exact design and size rims. But mine's 7.5j.

FC effect a bit, power is still there and the handling improved than stock rims.

1hp=Rm 1000 ?

i think what he meant is to add 1hp, you need to spend rm1000.
so if you wanna add 15hp, your upgrade will cost you 15k
