GD3 Mods that you have done/got on your car

[GU357]

Hey guys this is just a Thread so we can all discuss each others mods,
mods are things you have bought or done to your car to personalize it.

whether its cosmetic, or performance put em up.

[GU357]

Should be getting it lowered tomorrow.

why is no one on this thread!!!

other ppl who read this tell us/me what your up to next and keep us/me updated, so we can all exchange ideas on what to do!

[EG52NV]

Because I sold my jazz for an EK4

[GU357]

then why are you here?

[fillit]

i think alot of people may want discretion in their modifications, you would want to encourage build threads as it gives an insight into why a person chooses a particular product and the feedback they have on it.

[GU357]

yeh but thats one sleeper mobile :P

[ss-rotel]

i know you can't wait till you're off your P's to slap a turbo or S/C on your car... :)

Next mods = fuel pump, surge tank, bleed valve for turbo, run 16psi, brakes, and diff maybe...

[GU357]

BAHAHA, if mine wasnt the CVT i would slap a turbo on it tomorrow and it would be fine :D

ahh WA your laws and regulations regarding safety are so behind the rest of australia XD

[Paul.Z]

lucky bastard...ive got to wait 1.5 years to drive turbo or supercharged :(

[threesix]

pics people!!

[ss-rotel]

lucky bastard...ive got to wait 1.5 years to drive turbo or supercharged :(

hehehe... i'm old, (35), and fat, so i need the extra power

[ss-rotel]

pics people!!

That WAS Going to be the plan this week some time, but this weeks again become inSANE, so it's unlikely. (THAT And i bought a new laptop, that i'm slowly setting up)

i will do a complete write up on my build, as per request, and either post it in here, or on a new forum post... :)

[threesix]

hehehe... i'm old, (35), and fat, so i need the extra power

haha. 33 and 120kg's over here. lol

[GU357]

^ wow. im 18 and hit 60 on the scales.....

so for me the jazz feels quick ahaha

[threesix]

im 6 foot 3 though.

[GU357]

6foot 1

[threesix]

string bean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

[ss-rotel]

ok, i'm 5'10, and 115kg. GU, skiny bast#*d...

BTW, forgot to quote power - after all the mods, 225BHP, 303nm torque

[threesix]

^^POWA!!!!!!!

should start a big mans/small car club. lol dont have anything to compensate for! hehehe

even though i drive a civic it has the jazz 1.3 :(

[ss-rotel]

you know... engine's built to run 16psi, once i do the fuel pump, surge tank, and boost control, we should be pushing something around the 275-290bhp. that'll be fun
The turbo used is a little big, and good for 300-400bhp. thou garret rate it 1.5-2.0L

one day when i have the cash, i'll get it hi-flowed, and swap it with the one on my VW tiguan, (same engine that's in the mk6 GTi).
That thing re-tuned without any mods will make 200kw and 410nm torque. turbo and intercooler upgrade and it makes 280kw and upwards of 500nm, all 4WD and mine has the 6speed DSG. pretty amazing bit of gear, considering they start @ 38K + onroads for the manual

[threesix]

i wonde if the turbo kits for the jazz would fit my civic. its the same engine.

not that i would do it. just saying..

[fillit]

you put an L13A into an eg/ek?????????

there must be like 15 better engines available

[GU357]

yeh why is an l13 in a civic?
makes more sense to have a B-Series

either way im sure their would be the space considering the civic probs had a 1.6L to begin with.
but do they make a bolt on for the 1.3?

ive only seen em for the l15A1

[GU357]

string bean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol


ok, i'm 5'10, and 115kg. GU, skiny bast#*d...

You jelly?

[threesix]

i drive an FD hybrid. http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx93/getbuck_2010/1362ca0d-75b4-4369-ae61-23db956040fe.jpg

[threesix]

You jelly?

no way.

im all muscle.

love muscle.

[GU357]

OH!
then i dont think there would be enough space.
try selling it for a less fuel efficient car.

[threesix]

thats why i said i wouldnt do it even if i could.

no point.

i love my slab the way it is. even though its slow as fark.

[fillit]

oh man a hybrid, shoulda tapped the crz ;)

[threesix]

not for the price i got this...

5.5/100k's fmw.

[GU357]

well thanks for the list of your mods guys....

[fillit]

not for the price i got this...

5.5/100k's fmw.

mmm... tbh 5.5/100kms is not much less than say a stock jazz under normal conditions (i think like low 6L?) but the price difference is hard to justify..

did you consider a diesel golf or whatnot?

[GU357]

if only they still had those electric cars, those things MOVE!!!
insane acceleration apparently, but they recalled them all and seemed to do a really bad job marketing them in the USA

[GU357]

mmm... tbh 5.5/100kms is not much less than say a stock jazz under normal conditions (i think like low 6L?) but the price difference is hard to justify..

did you consider a diesel golf or whatnot?

6.5 if ur gentle with it.
i can barely get under 6.8 though

[fillit]

your car has mods though, its alot more fuel efficient stock

[threesix]

i got a great deal on the car.

comes with all the fruit.

looks better than most cars in that price range.

i am old and want fuel econ over anything.

my next car will be a stanced jazz vtis though.

[GU357]

when im off my P's and insurance becomes reasonable.

im gonna try get a honda that packs a punch, maybe a tuned eg with turbo b18 or a standard s2k and have fun doing up the handling, love the way the look at stock.

fuel is cheap, public transport and parking is expensive...

i've just changed jobs from working in suburbia to in the CBD, public transport hurts my pocket way more than my car ever has.

[threesix]

^^ i dont know what that has to do with what i posted?? lol

[GU357]

i think hes under the impression you bought a hybrid because you think fuel is expensive.

[threesix]

fuels not expensive??

[GU357]

costs me about 40$ per week.

[Paul.Z]

fuel costs me 50 bucks a fortnight :D

[GU357]

Lucky sob!

[threesix]

$40 buck lasts me a fortnight. my engine shuts off at lights/drive throughs/stopping in general etc though.

[GU357]

yeh but u see having ur engine shut off straight away before idling down is bad for it.
i would prefer if it waited abt 15secs then shut down.

either way i probably drive alot more then you guys, i do about 800kms every 5-6days.

[GU357]

either way....

i doubt honda (japan) would make the hybrid like that if it was bad for the engine. the engine shut off feature is the best thing since sliced pizza for saving fuel.

shouldnt you have a Made In Thailand sticker instead? :) i should get one of your stickers seeings that it IS made in japan. lolz

[GU357]

no mines an 03 JDM one ahaha!

all 06+ is TH made

and no its not great for the engine. wont do any immediate damage but dont expect the engine to do like a million K's
in the very long run its not good for it. like revving up a cold engine

[threesix]

woops!!!!! :)

GO JAPAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what rims/sussy are you running since is see the stanceworks sig?

[GU357]

lol i just put that there cos it looks cool ahaha.

it has BC racing suspension 6kg/mm all round... i think.

and buddyclub SF challenge rims 16x7JJ +42

http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z332/GU357/PA070050.jpg

might be getting new rims, trying to find 15" TE37 in black

[GU357]

rear wheels have alot of negative camber for some reason.

[threesix]

you defo either have to get some new rims or take that sig off! LOL ;)

[threesix]

16x8.5 all round and DUMP it. ;) ;)

[Paul.Z]

ahahaa hey GU537...ive got black 15" TE37 (replica though) :P havent put them on my car yet

[fillit]

no mines an 03 JDM one ahaha!

all 06+ is TH made

and no its not great for the engine. wont do any immediate damage but dont expect the engine to do like a million K's
in the very long run its not good for it. like revving up a cold engine

05+ is thailand made, also no engine will do a million kms without a recon/rebuild, needless to say 50 other things will go wrong before then.


16x8.5 all round and DUMP it. ;) ;)

don't forget -5 camber, you need around +10 offset or so to clear the struts and pull the fenders, unfortunately jazz is a hard car to stance because there is a limited amount of rims in 4x100 (in low offset), if you are determined for stance style then invest in a set of 4x114.3 adapters and get some rims with crazy offset.

[threesix]

one of the OG's in the 2001+ civic thread always said "you can make anything fit" lol

i know fitting 9" wide rims on my civic took some effort for me to be able to carry 4 people without scrubbing!!!

ive seen some pretty crazy Fits in the states. half are probaby on bags though.

[GU357]

no im leaving it there cos i like it.
:P

and the pic doesnt show how low it really is, you cant even really stick a whole finger in there,


... FINE

[threesix]

didnt mean to be a kill joy or pay you out.

if you like it leave it there ;)

its just your car is like a 4x4 in the stanceworks world. but you drive 800ks a week so fuction is a must

[GU357]

yep LOL

[sPoOnD_]

either way....
UPDATE new mod:
http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z332/GU357/20111008_001.jpg


where can i get that X brace in australia?

[fillit]

it's made by J racing i believe, jdmconcept should be able to import them.

[GU357]

they are discontinued, LOL

[sPoOnD_]

yeh they are. any other way you guys know of?

[GU357]

uhmm i found that the C bar and the cross bars are pretty simular,
good chance you can use 2 J's racing C pillar bars.

if your in perth we can meet up and ill show you where everything goes, kinda hard to find the holes that the thing goes in.

[ss-rotel]

GU - Does al the bracing make a difference? the C pillar was going to be my next mod, with the front and rear lower strut bracing, (not that i need more clearence issues...), but i've found the front end mods i've done sooo far have been perfect.

[GU357]

i did it more for cosmetics, but it does make some difference, the back is noticabley stiffer and moves more like a solid unit.

[GU357]

thought i would update on my latest mods,
behold home made HID projector headlight things!!!

thanx :D

[Paul.Z]

is it red in the middle? devil eyes?
looks SICK!

[GU357]

yehp.

thanks

[Paul.Z]

hows the brightness?

[GU357]

its not bad, its very clear. and the halos around the edge provide some light too for just going through the car park, without blinding ppl eating in restaurants

[GU357]

must admit i did fix it with some saturation, to try to get the colours more lively.
but never the less my new CF bonnet TADA!

[ss-rotel]

what camera were you using?

BTW, last nite raced a 09, (?) WRX, sounded like a full exhaust, pod filter, mags, lowered....

Got him @ the lights, managed to grab and keep 1/2 car length until about 70, then started to pull away in 3rd gear... he was pretty impressed... being beaten by a Jazz :)

Raced a DC5 type R today on the way home... destroyed him... REALLY starting to think the jazz is a mid to low 13sec car... :)

woot

[GU357]

you pulled away in 3rd gear? or he pulled away?

[ss-rotel]

i did. i had at least a 1/2 car length on him at all times :)

[kennethgqr]

Lol. I have to find if I have old pics of my jazz before I sold it. Lowered the car with a spoon N1 muffler and just a pod filter. I have to admit I still feel kinda sad selling it though. But then again. I got an EK that I always wanted.

Bottom line is that regardless I still think the jazz is one of the best rides I will ever own :)

[blahZ]

Hellafail!! Hahaha

[ss-rotel]

hey, that black honda badge looks cool... was thinking bout doing the same.... wondered how that would look

[sPoOnD_]

INGS kit is nice :P i love it

haha yeah man, its all out now :( i got yellow stickered for excessive noise and bars :(

[GU357]

for ppl who dunno yellow sticker is a defect notice.
its a yellow stick they put on ur windscreen.

[fillit]

can they defect you for cross bars?

[GU357]

Well its bars going through the cab and they arent ADR so they can.
unless u argue that they are stabilizer bars but the cops probs wont listen.
Sounds like he was pulled over for the excessive noise his car makes, header system followed by straight pipe absolutely no restriction AHAHA.

[fillit]

lol but with that argument, they can defect you for strut bars too?

[GU357]

yep, its not a stock chassis component.

[sPoOnD_]

yeah they basically are stabilizer bars but its just the way it looks they didnt really believe me.

and yeah i did get pulled over for making too much noise haha and they searched the car and found some monkeys bars in the car :(

[GU357]

yeh, maybe try rap them in something black so they dont stand out, and uhmm get a muffler LOL

[ss-rotel]

i would have argued that they are removeable and you were on your way home from a track meet...

Hey... raced a Mk5 Golf GTi today... got me off the mark, about 1.5 car lengths... but i think i upset him when i passed him spinning both wheels in 2nd gear... :)
Moahahahah!

[GU357]

.... Nice!!!! (y)

[sPoOnD_]

went to the pits, failed me for no inner mud guards, rear strut brace, B pillar brace, too much offset on my wheels, tint, and a cat converter :P haha

they gave me 28 days so yeh, just for xmas, im getting side pipes made up just to piss off the cops more :D

[ss-rotel]

good work...

... looking forward to some cop pulling me over for my turbo, and i can show him my blue plate bitches!

[sdx91]

hey guys long time. iv just been posting on fb lately lol but here is my progress so far..

Go for the new js racing short attenna(you can option the color to match your car)very hot looking!

[GU357]

i have a Js racing one. they dont fit properly... it comes with the short antenna and this thing that looks like a cylinder/cone so that the antenna looks to match the car. (hard to explain) but the cone doesnt fit with the antenna on there. theres not enough thread or its not wide enough i cant remember exactly.

but if u get the antenna get a piece of black rubber hose and cut it thin so it fits well, the antenna has too much thread for the car and so u can see it sticking out.

LOLOL nice

[threesix]

anyone use a drop in k&n filter?

is it worth it?

[sdx91]

^ im wondering the same thing.. drop in or sri?? are they the same in performance? i know cai is obviously better but with the shitty rainy weather dont wana take any risks so probs just get a sri unless drop in filter does the same thing :/

[GU357]

SRI is always better. the K&N is better then the standard but it still restricted by the poorly designed stock intake.

[kyobi]

you wont notice any difference with the K&N drop in, the only advantage it has is that its rewashable and reusable.

Hey, i was running a drop in filter on my 2005, seemed to make a little difference, 1-2kw, only really noticable under load, binning the stock muffler for something Aftermarket will cost about the same with great results. stock's pretty restrictive top end RPM.

SRI's ok, as long as you can get cool air to the filter. if it's sucking HOT engine bay air, then you may no gain anything, even loss some power ona hot day. CAI is a better option for performance, but watch for puddles.

in my 2003 model, the battery was set in a way that, once the filter box was removed, it acted like a heat barrier, but 2005 models the battery's in a different location.

anyway... there's lots of room behind the fender, if you feel up to pulling it off and getting @ the intact for the airbox with a dremel.

new tyres on the racing jazz. RE002 adrenalines. better than the RE001's, i guess we'll see how long they'll last.

[ss-rotel]

oh, i want these - http://www.advanti-wheel.com/global/wheels/detail.php?id=41&ptype=3 black and red, 17x7.5.

might even be able to afford a set after easter... guy putting on my tyres tell me that 3 out of my 4 enkei's aren't really round... so i see a new set of mags in my future.

[sdx91]

the rear springs are missing the height adjustment spacer.
but they look good. what brand are the coils? springs look eibach?

[sdx91]

lol yeh sigh.. do u know where i can buy a set?? they are buddy club n+ coilovers.

[GU357]

nah no idea... look for a set of rear adjustables.
and use them springs instead.

Manual GD3 VTI-S kit

[GU357]

i got a nice Js racing lip to go with that model :P

dont u think the Js racing air intake is OP

goodlooking tho

[Evok]

Definitely OP but i got it second hand off the forums for a really good price, Shame your in perth or i would be interested in grabbing that lip off you :P

[GU357]

ahaha yeh e-go do shipping for this item tho. cause i got it off a mate in melb originally, being told it fit all the jazz's however it doesnt and you can see when looking at the design it is specifically for the vtis 06+

[GU357]

Hey sticker bombed my sidemirrors. to cover up so damage done to them, from something somehow.

so i bought both the rarekwai sticker bomb sets from jdm sticker boy.

http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z332/GU357/IMAG0032.jpg


i wouldnt recommend sticker bombing with these in the future.
although they were sold by JDM sticker boy they are not really automotive vinyl feels more like a cheap paper sticker u find in kids colouring books.
pretty dissapointing.

but i proceeded anyway. being paper they didnt bend around corners and would not respond to heat so they are kinda folded and stuff around the edges. but from a distance i think it looks ok.

[kyobi]

paper stickers + rain/water = mush ?

[GU357]

yeh ns. but it aint raining here so it will last till then. and ill CF wrap them soon most likely.

really dissapointed with the sticker quality. but like the look.

[ss-rotel]

Ummm... i dont know about you, but dont those springs sit on the trailing arm, and not around the strut? they'll just be that way in the box for shipping.

IF those springs ARE from a coilover set, the platform will only bring the hight up, so if you want it super low, you dont need it, speaking from my setup... hey... don't you have a set of Kings springs already? if you just after a handling upgrade, and not worried about the height too much, use the king springs in the back, (which are constant rate and will be much firmer than the one's pictured), and run the shocks and front coilovers.

make the front a little lower than the back, and you'll lift-off-overstear like a pro :)

OR talk to King Springs or TEIN, (fulcrum), and see if they can organize you a set of platforms. ummm... you MIGHT be able to use the ones from a Commodore Wagon/ute prety sure they are about the same size, OR you should be able to get a set of pre-tension springs to keep the springs trapped if tha'ts not going to work...

[GU357]

try get hold of some nice stiff rear springs and a rear strut brace and thats how u get over steer. i remember some scary round abouts when i had the braces through out my jazz

[ss-rotel]

NEW MODS - Slotted from Rotors, braided line, DOT4 fluid, and some you-beaute brake pads

will let you know once i've finished bedding it in as to how good it is, am 300km in, and it's getting nice and firm...

Here's one for you, i've been told be a mate that braided line is illegal. I know that it's illegal to do brakes yourself, (aside from pads), but i can't see that a reputable company would have not at least warned me about it. anyway, i found it a bit odd

lol @ 'you-beaute'

i got some lines a while ago but had to hand them back coz they didn't meet aus regulations or something. they were Goodridge i think.

what kinda difference do you feel in the brakes with everythingn new?

[GU357]

Nice rotel.
But i thought u would of upgraded way back when u first turbo'd it.

Which reminds me I got pulled over last night by unmarked cop car car called me a peter Brock.
I took it as a compliment, didn't say anything abt suspension, bucket seat or the race harness.
He was pretty nice about it, let me off with 2 warnings.
1 for not indicating on exiting a roundabout, and another for doing 70km/h through the roundabout

buddy club coilovers in! gona lower the front a bit more later :)

[GU357]

wow the back is low!
i found that the back wheels have a -ve camber which helps tuck them under the car, anyone else notice?
also what size tyres u running i have some brand new 205/45/16 on my 16x7's that i picked up for 95 bucks.
im hoping since these have abit more sidewall then my 205/40s it will fill in the guards nicer

and funny story, was driving through a school zone other day, and hit a plastic coke bottle... dragged it for ages, doing 40kms an hour all the kids looking at me, felt so dumb....

well played!!!

[GU357]

just noticed the white stickers on those rims!
makes all the difference really sleek.
need a spoiler tho to finish of the back.

[sdx91]

LOL hahaha swag.

yeh ur right it gets -ve camber.. i got -ve camber on the front too but just by like -1 and back is around -1.5.
im on 205/50/16 but 45 is good cos u wont get much if not any rubbing issues.. 50 is where the rubbing starts but fills the guards flush.. my rims are 16x7 too.

haha yeh true. next up probs get the cf spoon duckbill wing ;)

[GU357]

Yeh join the club. If u want I can ask get the email from the guy I got mine from
Around 200 shipped I think

[GU357]

oh how did u get -ve camber on the front? camber kit? or is that how the tyres are worn in?

mine sit abit positive. might just be the way my tyres are worn tho.

[sdx91]

ooooh yes please! wats his email?? the buddy club coilovers has adjustable camber on the front too.. but the guys like get camber bolts instead cos the design is not good.

[GU357]

Hmm mine doesn't have camber adjustment. Is the adjustment ontop?
Maybe It's the later bc coils. Or I didn't notice them. Any pics of the camber adjusting bit?

New tyres and they are definately positive cambered.
Gonna need camber kit unless my bcs have adjustment.

My guards are filled up nicer with 205/45/16 tyres :D
And did my own sub n amp install. The parts were free and the guyis also giving me some free Kenwood speakers

I'll get email for u and post it tonight

[ouch]

im picking up some T1R coilovers tonight. took off my muffler yesterday. took off my spoiler yesterday. too scared to drill holes for the duckbill. need to get double sided tape for my mugen grille. need to get new wheels or just spray my stock ones black.

SURAJ! did ben come around to install your coilovers?

[GU357]

do the BCs just have camber bolts?

[ouch]

Anyone running a camber kit?

Gonna install duckbill wing, mugen grille, paint wheels black and put in Coilovers this week. I'll post some before photos tomorrow. Can't wait for the transformation! Still thinking I need visors for the coming months.

[ouch]

And I took off my muffler. Sounds awesome. But I want more noise down low. What should I be looking for? Maybe just a straight pipe? Headers? Cai? Suggestions?

[GU357]

U got the auto?
Hard to get that low rumble from a cvt but it u have a good muffler and large bore exhaust u should get it.
And i don't mean a cannon, I mean a fairly restrictive one with a big Ass pipe. But that would screw your performance up. U will lose low down torque.
turbo cars get it because the turbo acts a restrcition and have a large pipe after creates that echoing low brrrrrrrr
Imo homeward don't suit that noise. U want it to scream at vtec so u would want a his silent style because that sounds great but only when revving.
But It's personal choice.

[Evok]

Nice! Did you feel a gain from the headers?
Cheers

[GU357]

yeh the headers make it feel different, but since i installed the TB and headers around same time hard to say how much of it was from the header pipes.

but definately notice that all the pull is closer to 3800rpm as opposed to 3300rpm, and theres more pull aswell.

[Evok]

Oh wow! Might do that for the next mod!

[GU357]

yeh obx headers are good value. cost me like 100bux to install. and they are pretty cheap off ebay too, so its better then 600bux for mugen or xforce ones. and ontop of that they look MINT!!! gold welds=orgasm

[Evok]

Wow sick! was it perfect fitment ( direct bolt on )? I'm real keen :)...PM me please ! Yes, gold...yum

[kongfu]

i was running mugen header+ mugen titanium exhaust difference was unreal.cant believe 1.5 vtec was fun to play with as well : )

[Evok]

Nice! ever get dyno results? Recently got a spoon n1 axleback for the jazz...a bit OP mostly considering its the wifeyz car lol ( got it cheap though )

[kongfu]

sPOON N1 is straight piping design, however the mugen titanium was loop design without sacrifice much back pressure.

Yeah i heard it frees up the exhaust a bit...don't really notice it tbh, well you can't unless your very sensitive anyways.

Its not that loud as well and has a really good tone to it . surprised but maybe cause the rest is the stock system, sounds better then my dc2

[GU357]

yeh, i think it was.
the original exhaust manifold gasket is compressed steel, and the exhaust bloke said the hardest part was taking the old one off and out, since theres little room in the engine bay its hard to get the old headers out of the way, turns out they come out from the top after removing the cables n stuff. he didnt say it was hard to fit the new ones, so i would say its very bolt on. only problem is u lose your heatshield, and the headers let a fair bit into the engine bay. but i have a dash scoop coming to let more air in to balance the situation.

[gre03]

some nice mods in here. does anyone know where i could get some springs for gd3?

[GU357]

ebay!! and try the teamozjazz facebook and ask on the wall. ppl there selling stuff commonly

[ouch]

got T1R Bmax coilovers put in. they are just wayyyyyyyyyy tooo firm, but i like the low.

[GU357]

could swap the springs out with some kings or something then re install it.

[BBHEnZ]

some nice mods in here. does anyone know where i could get some springs for gd3?

Seeing that you're from melb too I suggest inboxing "stndrd" as he can get springs quiet easily as well as coilovers if you're willing to spend some more.



By the way what's the softest coilovers around? Right now I'm running Advance Coilovers they're hella stiff! I'm not too sure about the spring rates. Would swapping springs be an option for making my coilovers less stiff?

[GU357]

yes, u can swap them then just re adjust the height to suit. depending on design and how much adjustment there is u could even put original springs back on, and still lower it.
in theory but it would probably be quite hard as the springs are large. but maybe get some softer king springs and drop them in.

[ouch]

is anyone sitting low with their jazzes? when i mean low, i mean <100mm at least!

[ouch]

Can anyone hook us up with some cai options? Or maybe a gruppem whatever one? Something like that?

[GU357]

diy bro. but move the battery!
or u could use the AEM one on ebay its like 60bux

ME TOOOOOOOOOO!

and guys, got me coilovers in and they are stiffer than stiff. changing the springs will soften things up (to an extent) what else can i do? will raising the car up help?

[GU357]

ehh, make sure the springs dont have any pre tension. take a picture of the strut style and show me. also try throwing softer spring in there which or nearly as short as the ones that come on it.

[GU357]

how much was it? ive seen the turbo kit around that costs about 1000bucks + shipping, looked decent.

[BBHEnZ]

Raising the car up higher does help with ride comfort. Because the shocks will have more room to absorb shock when you go over humps and things if you know what i mean. Swapping softer springs will help i guess? I was planning on that but haven't gotten around to it...

WHAT?!?! 1K for a full kit!? I'm damn interested!! Will be turbo'ing my jazz as soon as im off P's or will be switching to a already turbo'd car from factory.

Wonder if jazz can handle supercharge turbo just like the current audi S4's
Would love to do it if i have the money when im off p's

[GU357]

a turbo and supercharge setup be too expensive. lancia did it on one of their cars but it is like HEY LOOK AT ME WE DID IT. better off one or the other. or else it becomes complicated and space consuming.
