Honda CR-Z: The Hybrid Tuner Revolution

September 17, 2011

For those of us who have been following import cars and sport compacts tuning scene, high power, gas drinking, big turbo cars are the norm. We have come to expect and accept the poor gas mileage and frequent stops at the pump associated with most of our favorite tuner cars. You gotta pay to play and the gas pump is no exception. In this day and age where gas prices soar and fluctuate everyday Honda comes to our rescue with the new CR-Z! The spiritual successor of the greatly loved and sorely missed CR-X of old. This little puppy gets a combined fuel economy of 5.3 L/100Km with the CVT transmission and 6.0 L/100Km for the manual version. People were skeptical at first about the CR-Z and truth be told even a few of us at Speedstar were doubtful about it. However, its grown on everyone and there are already a number of mods available for this car. From simple things like intakes and suspension to more committed mods like full body kits and superchargers! The latter of which may slightly decrease your CR-Z’s fuel economy ;)

Enough talk lets admire one of my personal favorite items for the CR-Z, the HKS Racing Suction Reloaded!
