Those wheels are one of the best looking modern styles/colours I've seen, the car isn't that bad either. I hope you have many great driving miles together.
Sick ride man, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I’m an auto detailer, so watching your channel really helps me become a better detailer every single day. Thank you!! 💪🏻🤘🏻
Huge congrats on having owned a CRX mk 2. When I upgraded mine I considered the CRZ but eventually went with a 2013 Fiesta ST Mountune MP215 as it was beefier. It's been amazing, but nevertheless Honda will have a dedicated large spot in my heart.
F-ing love CR-Zs. Saved a mates one from going to the scrap yard after it became a submarine thanks some really bad weather. The L15-Hybrid is being ditched for a K24 from a CL9 Accord. I love that all the lines on the car flow effortlessly from the front to the back and the beautiful blue colour really makes it stand out well. Great to see someone else loves CR-Zs too.
@@CarCleaningGuru K-series is pretty well documented and pretty much the only "good" option for more power. Otherwise a L15B7 from a Civic Turbo is a decent option too but I haven't look too hard into that one. I'm running into a wall with the driveshafts for K-swaps seeming to be discontinued by everyone. Poking Hasport about whether they've definitely discontinued them is on my to do list as they still sell the K mounts.
Nice car bud. I have the Maxton lip, side skirts and rear defuser on my JCW mini. I think they are great value for money. Time will tell as mine has e been on roughly as long as yours. Let’s discuss in 6 months as long as a passenger doesn’t use the side skirt as a step !!!!!! Keep them coming bud.
For a 10 year old car it’s come up looking brand new with just a bit of wash and wax - looks great and love the colour👍 can’t wait for the next video👏.
Hi friend! Im also a UK Honda CRZ enthusiast. I do love what youve done with this lovely Milano Red example. I was actually directed to this video by several of my followers. I have tons of CRZ content on my channel if your interested. Congratulations on the new car!
Mate I’ve watched a few of your vids already, gave me a good idea of what to expect! For my future engine cleaning/tarting-up vid I’d love to remove the lower inlet and paint it crinkle red as I’ve not seen it done. Do you think it would be a bastard to get off? Cheers, Joe.
@@CarCleaningGuru Hey Joe, thanks for replying. Thats so awesome that you’ve already seen some of my videos, thank you so much for watching! No its a fairly simple process, as its the inlet “cold side” of the motor you couple have any issues getting the fixings off. You have the egr valve on the side and the egr passages run through it. Be a good opportunity to clean them out whilst its off too, wont be too much in there being a fairly clean petrol engine. Hope this helps. 😊 Gareth
Welcome to the CR-Z family! Some cleaning tips for you... after washing, check under the boot near the hinges and keep dry. This area often gets over looked and will rust. I would also pop the tail lights off and see how filthy it is behind there. Super simple to remove and easy to clean.
Has to be one of the best lookin' CR-Z's out there, certainly WILL BE the best detailed and I can't wait for the paint correction/coating video because that red will G L O W! I wouldn't be surprised to see you apply some Gyeon Wax or the TWHS ceramic/graphene wax to it even🤔💡❗️
Congrats, to your new car ! It's interesting how red colours kind of "overexpose" in lack of better words the Jpeg compression. I get the same look when I photograph my red Beemer, looks particularly weird when the sun is shining, and the blue sky reflects, and turns some areas purple, and some red.
Absolutely love the new motor. I remember when these were launched and really wanting one. Looking forward to seeing more of it and what you have planned next in terms of mods. Keep up the great work 👍
Excellent choice, the CRZ. My mum has had her pearl white 2010 CRZ from new. It's been left standard of course not surprisingly! Fun little car to drive especially when you use the Sport drive setting. Reliability has been old school Honda. Bullet proof in other words. Enjoy it.
You don't need a total stop kranzle. Head down to aquaspray in Warrington and malcolm will fit a remote control to it for you. I had it done. Best thing ever
I think its dope. Super unique. Good body lines. The lip kit, side skirts, and cf wing really add a sporty element to it. Its refined but not kiddish. Kudos.
Never expected to see a CR-Z pop up on this channel. I bought one new in 2012 as my first proper new car purchase ever. Daily drove it for 5 years along with a handful of track days before ditching the hybrid drivetrain for a K-swap. Made it wayyyy more fun!
Nice new car CCG: To be honest, it's really nice to see a RUclipsr who goes for cars other that the generic Volkswagen, Audi, Merc etc. Great car, Nice colour, wheels and mods choice, and great content and always.
Congrats on the new ride! I had a brand new CR-Z in 2011, 6 spd and I really enjoyed that car but when the Abarth 500 became available here...and I heard one on a cold, Chicago morning the seed was planted! I straight piped mine and it wasn't loud at all, sounded good with a nice burble and Pypes top added. Also a K&N typhoon was added for some sound, MB Weapon in 17" and nice Conti DWS tires rounded out the package. I added a Mugen rear view mirror cover and Honda lip extension, gave the car a unique look for sure 😉
Nice motor Joe, I was really surprised how well these go when a lad turned up at Donington in his. It probably saves a few quid in tax too. Looking forward to more vids of this. 👌🏼
The top model original first gen CR-X barely managed 130hp IIRC. I think the second gen VTEC model managed about 160hp. None of them are really fast, but they are fun & different.
God it's amazing to think that these are already over 10 years old. I remember like it was yesterday as a teenager watching RUclips video reviews on them and being amazed how a hybrid could have a manual transmission.
This is absolutely gorgeous! Huge fan of red cars myself, but everything you've done to it suits is down to the ground so well. Looking forward to watching more videos on this! Missed the full car wash videos too!
I had the jazz that used the same chassis as the CRZ I do still like them only weak spot with my jazz was the head unit. Yours has the top of the range sat nav. Great channel 👍
Realy vivid Honda, right there. I never were a fan, but this one looks like something i would like to own :) Also I wanted to give a suggestion about water filter, as I recently bought something called in-line water softening cartridge (unit from Auqafilter - AISTRO) and found out that it visibly reduced calcium residue while using a common garden hose. I used it on a hot evening. Water in the area as mostly hard because of calcium. this in line filter uses ion exchange-based resins. Can provide a link if interested. Manufacturer states it can filter out about 280L of water. Cheers.
After years of admiring the C30 and Nismo, imagine my surprise when you show up in my exact car, color and all. The CRX and front-drive Elan were schoolboy favorites, and this seems to combine them perfectly.
Congrats and smart work with the mods! Looking forward to future vids with it. I think no one can deny that Red, Black and the right amount Shiny Metal steal the show.
Looking forward to seeing how you tackle those seats, they're such a PITA to keep clean, I can only imagine how they look now😳 That material is "weird"!
As said previously, I do like these - Hybrid is the way to go with how the world is heading. I imagine with fuel prices now, the high MPG figure will probably be a welcome change.
that is an INCREDIBLE looking hatch... understated to taste and carries the 90s CRX flag really well with those cut face alloys. Boy it sure does catch the eye
Not a bad little motor that! Looks in really good nick. Shame I didn't know you were selling the 370 though. Liking the rims on there, but they seem to sit quite proud of the tyre, so best watch those curbs and potholes. Reckon I'd have been tempted to slap some Rimblades on myself.
@9:51 typically when water is added to or in this case used with any other liquid (by leaving it on the surface) it would get diluted. So by leaving water on the surface and spritzing over, does this product become less durable or even work?
Did you not need to polish for those acidic bird droppings? With my car, they don’t simply wash off and that’s only leaving it a few days. Is this due to the wax/protection on your car at the time?
Lovely looking motor now with the mods you've chosen! Not sure why but I've always had you down as being from Stoke with your accent so the seagulls and beachfront caught me off guard 😂
The Honda looks mint mate. I'm missing the Nismo and I'm looking forward to some more cleaning action on the Honda with some good old fashioned polish from Turtle Wax.🚗💨
Those wheels are one of the best looking modern styles/colours I've seen, the car isn't that bad either. I hope you have many great driving miles together.
Spokes suit the lines of the car surprisingly well considering it’s not a Japanese style wheel.
@@CarCleaningGuru Agreed. With black lug nuts and center cap they would look like oem.
@@CarCleaningGuru PLEASE tell us the model of the wheels, those are incredible
@@eric29armstrong they’re rivers R4 alloys
Agreed. Those wheels are super nice.
I really love the CRZ. One of the best looking Hondas in the past 15-20 years.
Those driving shots look excellent!
Sick ride man, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I’m an auto detailer, so watching your channel really helps me become a better detailer every single day. Thank you!! 💪🏻🤘🏻
I like it. There is just something about it.
Looking forward to seeing an interior clean.
Welcome to the CRZ Gang :)
CRZs were always good looking, but those modifications and wheels make it look amazing!

Are engine swaps a headache? Not seen many options.

The front is taking a bit of a beating on and off the drive but at the price it’s semi-expendable.
For a 10 year old car it’s come up looking brand new with just a bit of wash and wax - looks great and love the colour👍 can’t wait for the next video👏.
Stunning car. Love the mods you have done to it as they aren't extreme or over the top. Those wheels really suit it aswell! Best wishes from Devon.

I’ve already done the eyeliner mod so did give that area behind the clusters a wipe down 👍
I currently have a white 60 plate crz and absolutely love it! It’s economy is great and has good sporty handling characteristics too.
This CRZ is amazing and seriously low mileage! Wow😳
Definitely not as quick or as noisy as the 370Z, but still a beauty. Lovely work 😎💪
I’m very happy for you Joe! 🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Congratulations on the new car. I love the modes you have done to it. It looks brand new with that clean 🧽
Congrats, to your new car !

Yeh they look purple or orange in the sun shots bit annoying considering I almost always film in the sun 😫
Through your channel years ago I started detailing my car, you are the best detailer. Regards from México
Nice! Love these, still looks bang up to date now.
Absolutely love the new motor. I remember when these were launched and really wanting one. Looking forward to seeing more of it and what you have planned next in terms of mods. Keep up the great work 👍
Great car choice mate.
You can never go wrong with a honda.
Great ftermarket mods.
And the care products are pretty good too.

Great video!!!! Looking forward to seeing more on this Honda!!!!!
Great look there.
For future debadging, No Nonsense Sealant Remover is absolutely incredible and doesn't damage paint.
What a little beauty!10 years old,still looking super sharp

Looks amazing mate! Glad you finally found such a nice example

Yeh I’m gonna do typhoon and secondary decat hoping for classic Honda induction sound with minimal rasp 👀.
@@CarCleaningGuru the fit and finish of the K&N typhoon is OEM👍👍
Red and Black… always looks the business after a good spruce up… I like it anyway 👍
Nice motor Joe, I was really surprised how well these go when a lad turned up at Donington in his. It probably saves a few quid in tax too. Looking forward to more vids of this. 👌🏼
Yeh £50 a month to £20 a year lol.
Man it looks really nice, if only it had like 300 horses crammed inside it would be a proper pocket rocket and a true successor to the crx
The top model original first gen CR-X barely managed 130hp IIRC. I think the second gen VTEC model managed about 160hp. None of them are really fast, but they are fun & different.
That looks wicked love what you've done to it 👍
Looks really nice and red is always a winner on a sporty car.

Got a supercharged crz, love everything about it
Great to see you driving down New Brighton prom with the new wheels.
Nice new wheels Joe. Enjoy.....
What a fantastic choice car very rare with some tasty mods. Was at a Honda only meet last weekend at Falkirk wheel was only one turned up I recall.
Looking forward to the interior videos!
Gonna be looking out for you at New Brighton to say hello . Car looks spectacular in sunshine 🌞
I had the jazz that used the same chassis as the CRZ I do still like them only weak spot with my jazz was the head unit. Yours has the top of the range sat nav. Great channel 👍

100% APPROVE
Tasteful - I like it. Can't wait for the detailing gear video!
Red paint just glows when clean.
Personally not a fan of the car but the clean makes it look brand new! Love watching this channel, so relaxing and soothes my OCD brain!
That car is going to be fun!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 awesome rims for the win!
Looking forward to seeing how you tackle those seats, they're such a PITA to keep clean, I can only imagine how they look now😳 That material is "weird"!
Can you make a video of how to wash microfibres towel, drying towels, wash mitts etc. how you go about it
Don’t see too many of those going around! It looks great and those wheels are stunning 🤩
As said previously, I do like these - Hybrid is the way to go with how the world is heading. I imagine with fuel prices now, the high MPG figure will probably be a welcome change.
Car looks awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
that is an INCREDIBLE looking hatch... understated to taste and carries the 90s CRX flag really well with those cut face alloys. Boy it sure does catch the eye
Beautiful car. It does remind me of the old CRX back in the 90’s. I sure do miss those cars.
what a lovel car. Did good there. Love the touches.
Car looks great,red and black combo is the best,got it with my cooper s 👍
Not a bad little motor that! Looks in really good nick.
Shame I didn't know you were selling the 370 though.
Liking the rims on there, but they seem to sit quite proud of the tyre, so best watch those curbs and potholes.

Fantastic video. That has to be one of the cleanest CR-Z’s around. I absolutely love mine.
Thanks for the video. The best looking car you’ve ever had is the Volvo in Miami blue colour
Looking good Joe always liked the CR-Z 👍🔥
Got to love a red car looks wicked 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Looks epic in that colour with the wheels and mods...! Those New Brighton seagulls are the worst though...
The Honda looks mint mate. I'm missing the Nismo and I'm looking forward to some more cleaning action on the Honda with some good old fashioned polish from Turtle Wax.🚗💨
Congratulations! That’s a lot of red! lol. Looking forward to the video where you get all your gear in there!
I'll bet that is an absolute riot to drive. Looking slick!
Great car, had one like yours in white pearl for the past 6 years.
Yeh that’s the colour I really wanted but not a huge amount of choice if I wanted low mile full history Nav etc!
Looks awesome… like a mini Ferrari!! Love it 😊
Perfect commentary. Beautiful scenery and car. Detailed review. Subbing!
