For all those that doubted the supreme performance in a previous thread where there were claims that the Jazz could never do a 16 - in fact, many thought it would be closer to the 18 second mark.

Well I hope all those that doubted are hungry cause I'm serving up a dose of humble pie especially for you :wave:

On the 19th at WSID I managed a 16.6 pass on my very first ever run with a substantial amount of wheel spin.

I will be getting the slip scanned in so I can officially go up on the board with all the specific details of the run, but I thought you would all like a bit of a heads-up first.

I will be heading out again in March with aims of a low 16 pass which is a pretty reasonble goal if I can get the launch right.

Hi Guys,
I'm a newbie! :wave: I've just picked up my Jazz last week and found this forum. I've read the August 2004 issue of wheels where they conducted a slugfest between small cars (Fiesta Ghia/Barina CD/Jazz VTi/Mazda 2 Neo).

Here are some of the results (These times were based on the best of 2 runs from the same driver),

0-60km/h
Fiesta Ghia (4.5sec)/Barina CD (5.0sec)/Jazz VTi (4.2sec)/Mazda 2 Neo (4.5sec)
0-100km/h
Fiesta Ghia (10.7sec)/Barina CD (11.7sec)/Jazz VTi (9.3sec)/Mazda 2 Neo (10.4sec)
0-400m(1/4 mile)
Fiesta Ghia (17.3sec@128km)/Barina CD (17.8sec@125km)/Jazz VTi (16.6sec@134km)/Mazda 2 Neo (17.2sec@132km)

These results seem quite good for a stock Jazz VTi manual. :D

Jus-10
22-01-2005, 01:19 PM
I think it is more that I need to improve my skill more than anything.....the guys doing the mag tests are doing this sort of thing on a pretty regular basis, so I am pretty happy that I could at least match their results at this stage me being the novice I am. We all know that mild mods such as intake and exhaust aren't going to give massive gains, so I am content with the results at this point.

My exact time was 16.631 @ 84.71mph (136.33kmh). So I am carrying a little bit more speed through the traps than a stock one. Also a note that I was running 100% street trim - floor mats, spare, tools, the works.....

A couple of interesting points to note. On my fastest run I had a 60ft time of 2.658 which was the 2nd slowest of the 4 runs. My fastest 60ft time was 2.481 so automatically there is room for improvement there to shave a few tenths off.

However, whilst I clocked 84.71mph on my fastest run, on my other 3 (I also did 2 16.8s and a flat 17) I was around the 81mph mark.

I think it's pretty safe to say that once I improve my technique I can look at times on the better side of 16.5. I will be aiming for that 16.2 on my next trip out, but I will most probably be looking at stripping the interior out next time....

I think it would be good if we could get a couple of Sydney-siders out one night for a bit of a comparo - autos, manuals, stock and modded. It's only $45 and it is alot of fun.

shites, thats very impressive for a jazz. Considering i go drag racing at heathcote abit and the stock V6 commodores are running a high 15-low 16!

I was dared to take the 1.3lt jazz man to heathcote for the day but the boss wouldnt let me take it lol! would of been a laugh!

Ahhh well i still got to get into the 13's with my stockish V8....running 14.01 atm so close yet so far!

Man this is an old thread, when I first saw it I thought someone else had hit the 1/4 mile!

Next time I head out, it will be on my stock 14s with some slight weight reduction (no rear seats or spare/tools).

The weather is starting to get pretty good now with warm days to heat the track and cool nights, so it might be time to think about heading out again me thinks.

Would be good if we could get a few of the Jazz guys to head out to Wisid one night for a bit of a comparo

Hi I'm a newbie here too,

I have a manual vti jazz, and I always find it interesting how many people don't believe they can do 16's. The number of ppl that doubt it makes me, in a small way, doubt it to..

So I dug up some evidence:

1) August 2004 issue of wheels as well, and yeah it stated higher up in this thread it shows 16.6sec for stock jazz.

2) Another resource which helps to confirm this time is WongKN's great Jazz article on http://asia.vtec.net/Reviews/JazzVtec/index.html where he tests a stock CVT 1.5 jazz to record a best time of 16.9.

I've driven both the CVT and the manual 1.5 vtec and the manual is definately quicker. (However I would have got CVT if budget permitted!)

Anyway for some reason, despite how much I believe its times, I won't feel completely vindicated until I time mine ;-) It feels very strong for a 1.5, especially when you put decent premium in it (caltex or bp98). It's still under warranty so it won't be seeing any quarter mile action at Adelaide Internationa; - just incase my car dealer is watching - paranoid i know!


Andy

ps: I'm looking for some 04 Vti-S rims.. pm me

Jus-10
14-09-2005, 01:03 PM
So you still don't fully believe it even though I have done it at an official meet with time slips (along with some witnesses from some guys at S2Ki who were there)????

I can email you a pic of the time slip if you like?

As for that whole warranty crap...take your number plates off at the track and then there is no proof...it is your safest bet (both for warranty and insurance purposes)

I have lined up against a CVT (it was stock) and my car walked away from it very convincingly.

I still think a very low 16 (maybe even a slight dip in to the 15s) is achievable if I get a bit more practice at getting off the line well - that was my biggest problem, either too much wheel spin, or it would bog down. The rest of the drive is easy as as because you are going so freakin slow! (It feels really really slow)

Jus-10,

Nah mate I completely believe you, however your jazz is modified so I can't use your car as an example when debating/talking about it with disbelieving friends.

I can say stuff like my mirage did low 17's and my jazz is definately faster, or this one mag out of 5 states it can do 16's.. They have some good arguments to fuel their disbelief.

So basically what im saying is i'm very confident standard manual vti's can do high 16's, however until I time my car or have timeslip of totally stock jazz, I can't 100% win the argument against disbelievers.

i'd hit the track with my car if it wasn't fu*ked, would be interesting to compare to the jazz, roughly the same weight and power.

My Vti is due for its 10k service so once thats done, I'll look into it.

I bought my jazz with ~400kms on the clock from private seller who decided he had too many cars (wrx sti, echo, jazz and volvo). This service is the first one since I've owned it so have a few little things I want checked out.

I don't even know what a stock Jazz can do quarter mile. I was only going by Jus-10's excitement over his time.
Then please tell me what the big deal is for a relatively heavily modified Jazz to do mid 16 secs quater mile?

EDIT: What Wheels are you reading there? A personally edited version? LOL
I have a Wheels magazine right in front of me and I don't see any 16 secs quarter mile for Jazz. It quotes 17.5sec for VTi-S manual and 18 sec for CVT, which sounds a lot more realistic considering it does 0-100 in 10 secs or so.

24-09-2005, 11:24 PM
Hehe, yeah I have to say, I did expect more from jus-10's drag time given his mods. However he said recently that he expects it to do much better now.

I'll scan the mag for you :) Just got to polish up my photoshop editing skills first.. nah just joking the mag has it in original print - no need for me to edit it.

I understand your skeptisism, as I also have wheels and motor mags quoting 17s for the manual jazz.

I know my euro is faster than Jazz and better in every single aspect.
Not that I really care and wasn't the point of my post.
I just get sick of all the BS that gets posted on Jazz forum and people implying that Jazz is a "quick" car.
All I can say about the Jazz is fuel efficient, good build quality, adequate power, acceptable looks. Words such as "performance", "fast" etc does not even come anywhere near it.
Keep ricing up your self-claimed "pocket rocket"

Let me guess. Are you the idiot who claimed to have kept up with Prelude VTi-R with a Jazz? or was that a different idiot? too many delusional idiots to keep track of.

I have no idea what you're trying to say here.
Are you saying that you have a Wheels magazine quoting a different figure?
As if a stock Jazz will do 16 sec flat quarter mile run. In someone's dream maybe.

Besides Jus-10 improved almost 1 sec in quartermile run, which if you didn't know, is a big improvement.

Do I give a shit about what you think? I think not.
I think I'm entitled to posting the fact, not some made up BS.
The fact is I have a Wheels Magazine right in front of me and it clearly says 17.5 sec for manual and 18 sec for CVT. There's nothing to disagree on. It's a FACT.

Wow, Jazz must be so quick. SP23 does it in 16 sec according to Wheels magazine. Jazz only makes 81kW or something and it's faster than a car that makes 118kW. Must be a MIRACLE!~~ More like a delusion of crazy owners.

I don't doubt that Jus-10 did 16 sec with all that mod. However, I doubt that a stock Jazz will be able to do that.

One thing I find really funny is that Jazz owners here tend to get very upset when someone point out that Jazz is not a performance car and rather slow.
Is that really surprising? I thought you knew what to expect when you bought it. It's not meant to be a hot hatch or anything. Haha. I feel like I bagged out a NSX and said that it's slow or something.

"remember than sucker"?
Once again, if you can't communicate what you want to say, don't even bother because that sentence doesn't even make sense.

Like I care about what you think about my car. I don't give a crap.
I don't care if you drive a cheap car or not, but I know one thing and that's that my car craps all over yours. Sorry to other Jazz owners, but you can't honestly expect someone to say that a $25K car is better than a $45K car.

That's not my problem. Ask anyone on the planet. No one will say Jazz is a performance car and most will say they are slow. No surprises there. At least that's what I thought, even for extremely delusional owners like you.
Go ahead and make it faster all you want. I'm not gonna care, but whatever you do to Jazz won't make it a performance car unless you are talking about a drastic mod that totally changes the essence of the car, which I'm sure no one on this forum is willing to do on the Jazz or could afford to.

You really are an idiot, you know that? So I can't visit Jazz forum if I think they are not performance cars? Or are you having trouble communicating again? LOL

It appears that you are having trouble because I can't make sense of what you said in your last sentence. It's a total garbage and broken English no one can ever comprehend.

Don't you worry. I'm not planning to spend a cent on the Euro doing stupid mods like CF bonnet on a Jazz like you did. Maybe you'll beg your mama and papa to buy you more mods for your Jazz. Good luck with that.

You'll have to spend a fortune before you can beat Euro with a Jazz anyway. haha. This is getting really funny.

Are you sure you are good enough to undertand my posts? When did I say all people owning a Jazz is extremely poor? Besides, 25K is not a car that extremely poor people drive around in. You can go on all night trying to accuse me of things I didn't even say.

And No, I do not think of Euro as a performance car. Let's just say I think of it as a sporty sedan. My measure for a performance car? That's a bit subjective don't you think? However, it's easy to say that Jazz is NOT a performance car. Is it so hard for you to accept that Jazz is not a performance car? You must have an ego bigger than your brain. LOL

What does respect have to do with stating the fact that Wheels magazine quotes 17.5 sec quartermile for Jazz VTi-S manual and saying that is slow? Are you saying that's fast by any means?

I don't have a problem with people spending their money on mods. It's not my money so I don't give a shit whether they throw it down the drain, but it is annoying when certain people think their cars are performance cars and get all upset when someone says otherwise. You have a twisted understanding of the word 'respect', don't you? Respect doesn't mean bullshitting.

please tell me what are not make sentence to you and i will explain to you clearly .
there are some jobs which didnt require to write any english at all. Even in my bachelor or even my master, i dont need any english written skills at all.
sorry, i dun need to prove if I have enough cash for a euro at all but a euro is only 1Xk on top of a jazz anyway. However, the main thing is I did enjoy every rides i got.
If u want to complain how the fxxk i got through my bachelor and master dgree, feel free to talk to my previous university. You can contact them by visiting www.rmit.edu.au (http://www.rmit.edu.au/) or www.monash.edu.au (http://www.monash.edu.au/) and my Monash ID was 18057101 and I am happy to resit or redo any exam or assignment or research again.

Don't bother. I doubt you'll make it any easier to understand anyway. Language skill is not something you gain within 30 mins. LOL

However, I do find it amusing that whatever job you have, does not require good communication skills. That's like the most basic requirement of any job. All I can think of is.... LOL

I don't really care whether you got your bachelor or masters degree. It's not even a significant achievement unless you graduated with distinction or something. I've seen heaps of overseas students who couldn't speak or write jackshit and they all managed to pass bachelor/master degree so it's not really a surprise anymore. Whether that should be allowed or not is a different story however.

which I'm sure no one on this forum is willing to do on the Jazz or could afford to.


yeah i do understand what u saying as u THINK all the people in this FORUM is so poor which cant even put a custom turbo kit in to make a jazz a fast car?

yeah it is subjective i do admin as I think a euro is a family car like camry which will never turn out a performance car but i do think it is quite sporty so do a Jazz.

dun get me wrong as i never bought a Wheels mag in my whole life. However, do respect everyone in this forum (not even a jazz or some older car like EG) as we all love our ride and we want to make it drive, and look better as long as we can afford.

I never misunderstand the word "RESPECT" as unless u wont respect a person which have problem in english.

a Jazz can be a perforamnce car if u have cash so it do have the potiential to be a performance car. I am asking what is yr measurement for a performance car as I do believe a custom turbo kit will make a jazz a performance car. At the same time you may thing a 360 is the only performance car in yr mind.

Don't you worry. I'm not planning to spend a cent on the Euro doing stupid mods like CF bonnet on a Jazz like you did. Maybe you'll beg your mama and papa to buy you more mods for your Jazz. Good luck with that.


respect people like me who want to make my car look a bit better alright? Well, it is not in performance purposes at all as even my old dc2r do not have cf bonnet anyway. oh.. is a dc2r or a slightly slower Ek4 a performance car for u?

It all started when TypeG got all personal from previous experience and labelled my post as 'BS', when I clearly mentioned that I was quoting from Wheels magazine.

Like I said, I don't have a problem with people modding a Jazz or whatever. It's their money not mine. I just want people like TypeG to accept the fact Jazz is quoted as doing 17.5sec quartermile which is no where near the definition of being quick.

Thank you for stating the facts from Wheels magazine but everything else you have said since then has been rubbish - you seem to be extrememly negative in many of the threads you post in and more often than not, it is not welcomed OK.

TypeG - Same deal for you too. There are too many personal insults and the two of you should be adult enough to now leave it.

I have some various editions of Motor and Wheels magazines, and not all of them have this figure for the jazz, there are definately some figures saying jazz's only do 17's.

I've seen a lot of vagueness in the quarter mile times in the summary sections of these mags. Which is where i'm guessing colundra was looking. The numbers found there are just guides as they are done under a wide range of conditions, fuel load, temperature and degrees of uphill/downhill. They can't take every car to the dragstrip to test it.

Wheels article i posted is a more reliable source than these summary sections as it was done under proper testing conditions at the track.

TypeG, give it up. I still don't understand what you are saying so don't bother with your personal insults.

I guess that means Jus-10's time isn't all that fast. A stock VTi did 16.6 sec and modified Jazz only managed to equal that time. Not impressive at all.

EDIT: Just realised why the time I quoted is different from bluevti's. Wheels quote VTi as doing 16.6sec over quartermile and 17.5 for VTi-S.
How weird. As if the weight difference between them is gonna make such a big difference.

Just tested in my Vti, 6300 in 2nd is ~91 km/h. In 2nd it does around 30km/h for every 2,000rpms...

*IF and its a big IF* you could rev it to 8,000rpms you'd be doing around 120km/h.

I think it can just hit 100km/h (or just under) in 2nd before hitting rev limiter. The rev limiter took me a little by suprise so in the excitement didnt get to see if it occurred at 100 or just under :P

y dun u ask clearly before u shout in this post? in the topic and the posts, we never state the time we are talking about is a for vtis or a vti at all and you yrself look at the time for a vtis. is that our fault then?
i do contribute some facts by keep telling you that a jazz has the protential itself to be a performance car like a Euro

i will never give up on explaining how a jazz can turn out a performance car if you still dun believe it in all aspects.

also Jus10 's time is quite impressive as he is not a professional racer or sth but just a drive like u.

Coladuna, quickness can be defined in different ways. While the jazz isn't that fast down the quarter mile, it has alot of potential for excellent handling due its chassis design.

y dun u ask clearly before u shout in this post? in the topic and the posts, we never state the time we are talking about is a for vtis or a vti at all and you yrself look at the time for a vtis. is that our fault then?
i do contribute some facts by keep telling you that a jazz has the protential itself to be a performance car like a Euro

i will never give up on explaining how a jazz can turn out a performance car if you still dun believe it in all aspects.

also Jus10 's time is quite impressive as he is not a professional racer or sth but just a drive like u.

I can't be bothered to look back at all the previous posts but I'm sure I constantly mentioned that I was quoting VTi-S figure. It was bluevti who didn't mention which figure he was quoting. So get the facts right. It is your fault. Oh hang on. It doesn't have anything to do with you because you didn't offer any facts at all.

You call that a fact? You don't really know what the definition of FACT is do you?

most car can b mod into a performance car.... only thing different car has got different handling capability... as for jazz, so far handling is very good..... i m sure that the car can handle well even after the car is boosted up... so many after market performance part for jazz... in fact i think also more than a euro...

and what do you base that on? Not another biased opinion without any facts to back it up with please. Comments like "I think such and such" can only be speculation and doesn't amount to much. From what I've read in reviews, Euro's handling is very good and neutral. Jazz has a much higher centre of gravity and from my personal experience of driving it, the steering had no feel and it was too light, which I'm sure I've read in certain reviews of Jazzes as well.

Here's some food for thought. A quick review search for Jazz in Carpoint reveals...


The turning circle may be tight, but the steering is vague, and there is fair degree of roll in the body when cornering at more than sedate speeds.


It's okay over smooth roads but hit even a moderate rut or pothole and the Jazz jolts and jumps with harsh reverberations.


The steering is dead, completely devoid of feel, and the base model's 14in tyres are downright atrocious.


So, putting this all into perspective, the Jazz remains an alluring prospect. The sub-standard driving dynamics take the shine off what would otherwise have been an excellent overall package

Searching for Euro reviews reveal the following...


The Accord is all serenity by contrast, with a composure that's not only at home with hard driving, but virtually incites it. It too has a grippy front end, but matches that with near-perfect body control, communicative steering, and an extremely absorbent ride on everything from sharp ripples to longer amplitude humps, and isn't upset by any mid-corner irregularities.

Facts anyone? From reading those reviews, I don't see how you came up with the idea that Jazz's hadling is superior, unless it was a biased personal opinion.

Besides, it's silly to compare Euro against Jazz isn't it? So let's not.
Facts anyone?

Whoa calm down tiger. No need to get all agitated. But you gotta admit your post was a little vague. So when you said "in fact i think also more than a euro", what are you referring to? Handling or the car's ability to handle extra power? Next time, try and not make it so vague. Using so many fullstops doesn't help either.

You think that was offending? I was basically saying that what you are saying is your personal opinion. How is that offending? Absolutely clueless. Maybe you are offended because you didn't read or understand my post properly.

And how did I offend other people? If you got insulted over comments that wasn't even directed to you, it's not my fault. Yeah, what a brain really.

As for your other comments, I have no clue what you are on about. la :D

And there's something wrong with asking for factual evidence? What's the point if everyone just blurts out their personal opinon? Most will just say their car is better anyway and it ends up being pointless, just like when two little kids argue with each other.

I'm glad someone brough that up - I personally think that carpoint review is a load of crap. Perhaps the tyres on the test car were underinflated? (Seems to be a common thing with many jazzes I see in the city..) The stock tyres and power steering configuration on the jazz contribute to its very light steering feel, but that doesn't have to mean it handles badly.

Your point being? Is there a point to comparing a medium size sedan to a small hatchback? You don't have to be a genius to figure out which will be heavier.
My friend's old car, Daihatsu Charade was less than a tonne. Do I get any award? :wave:

That's arguing? Am I seeing double standard here? So why did you reply when I said you didn't quote which magazine you were quoting from? Or are you a 14 yr old computer nerd? I did mention I was talking about VTi-S and TypeG thought otherwise so I cleared that up. That's not arguing. That's called clarification. *sigh*
