The creator

Meet Zosh

Zosh is an automotive content creator based in South Florida whose journey behind the camera started long before the cars.

He first discovered content creation in middle school, making Call of Duty videos simply because he enjoyed creating and sharing what he was passionate about. That passion took a different direction in 2014 when he received his first car as a graduation gift, a 1995 Honda Civic EX.

By 2016, Zosh made the decision to focus his content entirely on the automotive world, documenting the progression of his B Series Acura Integra, affectionately known as “Crustina.” What started as a simple build quickly became the foundation for something much bigger.

Through countless driveways, project cars, late nights, setbacks, rebuilds, and milestones, Zosh has continued to document the journey exactly as it happens. His content has always been rooted in the same thing that started it all: a genuine passion for cars, creativity, and sharing the process.

Years later, that passion continues to drive everything behind the Zosh name proving that you don’t need the perfect shop, the perfect car, or the perfect circumstances to start. You just have to start.

Progress Technology 19mm Rear Sway Bar for 11-16 Honda CR-Z
View product
Read more

Zosh tries a Progress CR-Z rear sway bar on Yami and runs into a fitment issue. This listing is for the CR-Z application, so it should not be treated as a confirmed Fit upgrade.
