Looks like you got an audio upgrade and some type of cold air intake or dry air intake? :D

Nope, if the blue wire at the battery terminal u r referring to, its the pivot raisin volt stabiliser. I dont know why i have it on board. It doesnt help anything.

I have fitted a bigger ns60L battery instead of factory stock 40L. I need to hack off a bit of a bracket at the battery base to accomodate this bigger batt (since space have been taken by the air scoop)

And yeah, its a cold air intake meant for the crz, http://afepower.com/shop/details_ne...1.5L&searchtype=vehicle&make=Honda&model=CR-Z&year=2011&engine=1.5L&&brandID=78

I managed to get it in by swapping two holding brackets from crz. One is located above the radiator the second one is located at the cylinder head. In this photo im still using cable ties to hold the air scoop while waiting for the bracket to arrive.

I also noticed u have ultra racing bars installed on ur ride boss. U surely loved em. There is another chassis rigidity collar quite popular in malaysia and its not that expensive. Its a copy from spoon rigid collar but it work just as fine. I had it on my ride n the suspension works better.

Stiff Ring - Redefine Chassis Stability

If u wanna give it a try, i am sure i can help u out with the postage.

Man, 400 bucks for the CAI? Interesting how it shifts the power band in the dyno chart.

Yes, I am sold on ultra racing bars, I got both strut and the B pillar one. Id like a few of the under body braces, but I am worried it would get hung up on stuff.

You notice any difference in mpg or performance with the CAI?

Sharp, ATS*SOL. I've just picked up a 2010 I2 in black, and am looking for some touches to individualize it. Where did the chrome window trim come from? I've found lots of places offering the A/B/C pillar trim, but nothing for the 'outline', which is what I'm thinking of doing... Thanks for any guidance...

Fakhrins,

Do you have a picture or part number for the brackets you needed? I can get aFe parts at a good price and this would be awesome to have.

Thank you

i have pictures for the 2 brackets, i will upload here afterwards. cobb, in terms of mpg, i am still getting about 18km/l even if i drive fast, like 140km/h in a constant journey for 300km..last i checked i used 15litres for 330km journey on an average speed of 140km/h and 150km/h while overtaking. thats roughly 20+km/l or somethig 40+mpg? like u said, the powerband shifted to higher rpm where the engine get very lively at 4000rpm onwards...but the at 6000rpm theres not much excitement left because of the torque curve dropped..im planning to swap the insight intake with the fit ge8 intake, and crz intake runners..more room for the engine to breathe more air since the air intake is quite big..will upload here when the project is done.

Thank you Fakhrins, huge help. Let me know how the manifold works out, I was looking at getting the Spoon upper intake and throttle for the Insight along with the aFe Intake. There is a local company to me that does a lot of Honda work and has a full line of CR-Z parts, I will be working with them to see what parts will cross fit.

As u can see, this is the crz bracket fitted to the air intake, its slightly wider n the bolting location are widely apart from insight original bracket (it looks almost the same but its slightly wider) .if ucan get this, then, the takeda will fit right in

That is great news, I am going to test fit the Mugen parts tomorrow, I will have to get the price of the Takeda intake is for me and see when I can get it. Also I am going to look at exhaust options for the car.
