JC Racing... Around RM11000 for Sprintex + Hondata

Sprintex brings you to 160-170 on wheel with 0.5 to 0.6 bar. 200whp is only safe for MT.

1. just curious if compare sprintex SC and Jackson SC, which is giving the best HP increment and still can retain good FC in normal driving...
2. can JC Racing tune CRZ to make SC intergrate with IMA? coz if not mistaken hondata don't have any IMA options in the software. its up to the tuner to tune...
*
1) Different thing. Sprintex = Twin Screw SC (Constant boost therefore you get good kick from low end, but the maximum boost level is limited). Jackson SC = Centrifugal (Boost climbs with your engine speed, the higher rev the higher boost, it is more suitable for engine like K20A alike). FC wise, for CRZ 1.5, both are almost same. But in engines like K20A, Sprintex would likely worsen the FC with the constant boost. Safe to say, Sprintex is good for day to day city driving as you don't really need to rev to get the power. And JC Racing does not recommend Rotrex (Jackson SC) for CRZ, it is somehow pointless with only 6800RPM and a 1.5. The Sprintex kit for CRZ is the same across for Jazz and City. Another kit is for Campro engines.

2) Yes they can... They already did it to their CRZ ZF1.

Wow... single stage paint... Haha...

Storm Silver (ZF1) and Polish Metal (ZF2) still the best to me.

I have the zf2 polished metal.

any suggestions on scratch prevention? Maybe a transparent layer wrap?
*
Clear bra aka paint protection film. (Ie: Xpel, 3m). But those are expensive, and people usually just do bonnet, front lip etc. And if the workmanship is not top notch, it gives you more headache than you expected. But if done properly, yes... It can even withstand a certain level of stone chipping (if you went too fast the sharp small rock will still chip it through). But Xpel claims self-healing which I haven't really go and see it.

From detailers point of view, it is hard to maintain a car scratch-less, and scratches isn't top concern. Holograms due to improper polishing, bird bombs and watermarks etching are. The latter 2 are due to user negligence. Swirls most of the time due to outside car wash, or improper washing technique by own self (using old cloth, rough and all).

My ride already 4.5 years with coating, just a few hairlines scratches here and there. An annually light polishing take care of that (which I only did once till now).

hi guys,
want to ask about crz.

crz is below 10sec to sprint 0-100.
it's a 1.5L car and from what i understand, the power is assisted by electric motor.

as far as i know, the battery wont last long from full charge
let say i drive up genting at continous acceleration speed.

the battery probably drained even before i reach 1/4 of the hill.

does that mean the remaining uphill will only rely on 1.5L engine ?
so it will feel like a normal 1.5L car ? i.e Honda city
*
It will feel like a City/Jazz for ZF2. The HP/Torque is same as well as the ivtec mechanism (MT). CVT has slightly less as stated on brochure due to transmission.

You can always Sprintex it if you worry that much smile.gif

Single stage paint is old school... Generally, for Malaysian just forget it with our always send to outside car wash culture.

In fact there is, any coating/sealant/waxes can still be applied on paint protection film.

anyone installed stiff ring on their car,,mind sharing the review..
n also if anyone using LCP,,any comment..
*
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.

I'm GA sale man ma hahaha for crz RZ kit don't have PP material.  Bco no demand.....  In the market The best material for rz kit is only abs..
Expensive... Yes bco I am the 1st unit in kl to have this kit maybe after CNY cheaper.
*
Oh... 失敬... No wonder...

But bodykit is out of my league already haha after playing bodykits with Civic FD.

However, I still would put up a side skirt for any future car. Not because of aesthetic, but to block excessive splash up to door side. As a detailer, I noticed car without additional side skirt usually got hell lot to clean on door side.

Car with side skirt, since the side skirt usually will extend outwards slight than the door, it will block most splashing under the skirting.

If 100% highway cannot get 24km/L eh? Can la...

I use Honda City also can get le, and I definitely don't do 80km/h lol. And I am even talking the record breaking FC from KL to Penang. I frequent Bukit Tinggi back to Sri Petaling using KESAS can get already.

FD2 100% highway from KL to Penang I also can get 18km/L averaging 110-150km/h.

tien isn't progressive springs as they are liner springs (sport springs).. kinda hard for me to explain in words what are the difference between them both.. but i do feel and experience the significant difference as ive tested jceh83 before and other brands of springs..

also some sellers are pro-claiming that Tien is pretty overrated compared to other brands as they have the brand and the "green" look..

haha.. but as for now i do love my spoon springs with fixed dampers setup.. comfy enough for me as a daily driver...

i didnt literately bought the springs.. sweat.gif  but tested on other members cars whom installed the other options thats on the market.. tested from Eibach, Tien, Gab, Mugen (with fixed dampers), H&R, and other brands..

as for my case i immediately settled "down"  with Spoon Springs..  tongue.gif

some say ist about the brand and some say is about the functionality..but for me its about Comfort and price.. i do not want to sacrifice the stock handling and comfort springs.. but i do wanna give is a bit lower stance.. the options that comes close to it are Spoon Progressive Springs

below are the visual looks before and after

I see... If me I terus put in RCS.
