New to Cruze Thread
New guy here from Rochester NY, I got a red 2017 Hatchback LT as my first car back in 2019 and it's my baby. It almost looks like the header of the forum other than it not having the RS package. Currently planning on picking up mods one at a time and doing everything performance wise at once so I don't have to re-tune after multiple part installs. I'm not expecting the fastest thing in the world, but it feels like it wants more juice, so I'm gonna give her more juice.
My biggest asperation for my Cruze it to do a AWD swap, mainly because I haven't seen anyone do it yet (or I haven't looked hard enough). The handling is already stiff and it pulls around corners great, so I could only imagine what some power in the read would end up doing. Definitely not in the near future since that's going to take a lot of planning, fabrication, and $$$.
For those noticing the non-OEM grill, long story short my sister mixed up the gas and break pedals learning to drive when I was away one weekend. Rear ended my dads car (no dmg) and put his trailer hitch through the grill and split the bumper. No other damage, but when my dad ordered the "cheaper and similar looking grill" it was the EU version with non-removable license plate holder. I've got a OEM grill to throw in now so I guess all is well.
That's my TED talk, build updates to come!
