Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the car was actually every officially called "the Tomcat".

Nice car Jake, love em! Tomcat was the project name and kinda stuck as they also used that name for the one make race series when launched, mostly aimed at the turbo version. I'd suggest you hide your keys this time

its common name was the tomcat. And people get confused about the trga roof, they all had it
phate has it got the glass panel bag in the boot? good if it has.
A filter next to the battery is a good mod, then de cat it brings the power along nicely.

Certainly looks tidy! Am quite envious, I looked at a couple before I got the ZS but they were all dogs 
Isn't that powered by the 108bhp SOHC D16? (Think they had a slightly different map on them than the ones put into Honda's - Should look something like this)
If so, the general consensus is that a 'performance' panel filter in the standard airbox is the best way forward (with a cold air feed to the box), as the small non-vtec engines hate heat soak and really don't need a huge cone
Decat is certainly an option, but won't get you much in the way of power.. Just a bit more noise and that beautiful decat smell!
I had the Z9 in one of my CRX's, they're great little engines and are surprisingly nippy!
I doubt you'll want to keep it stock for long, and the only quick ways of getting lots of power is to turbo, or swap something B18+ into it

hehe thanks guys
Interesting stuff Will...I want to keep it stock for reliability reasons but at the same time I do have a modding bug
It's got the standard filter on it, when Andy bought it it had a cone, put the standard on it and found it to be quicker and sound nicer...makes sense due to the heat soak.

i have always had soft spot for the tomcats, always have a nose around them if i spot any while on foot.
if it weren't for the fact that i wanted diesel nearly 5 years ago now i would prob have got one!

My first CRX (had a DOHC D16) had a crappy cone on it when I got it, first thing I did was to put the original airbox on with a K&N panel filter.. The sound and pickup change was really quite shocking!
With your exhaust, and a couple of other tweaks you should easily get it to 120bhp.. Which considering it's a SOHC 1.6 is actually quite good
I'm not too clued up on the Z2, but I think you can swap the head/ecu from the Z9 onto it and get eco-vtec? The D16Z9 had 130bhp out of the box..
