GD3 The WEAK Build.

[amant02]

Hi Guys,

As my previous post in regards to 'doing up' my missus GD3. So after doing my head in and finding the required parts and so on. Finally Have started Make Progress. The last tread got outer hand and off topic Reason for making a new one.

So my missus finally got her red P's last year, So we started to look at some what mordern Hatch Backs. She liked the Jazz GD. We found a great one with only 63xxxKMs at Tom Kerr Dealership. So we put down out deposit and withdrew the savings and away we went. As all Female Asian P platers she had a little fender bender battle in the carpark and Auto Car wash at Shell servo.

Lucky as we could get there were no real structural damage to the car just small dents on the door from the car wash and 3 holes in the tow hook cover from god knows what.

Anyways few plans. Face lift and new paint job. Sound system with reversing camera and GPS. Intake and Exhaust, and Maintain a Clean car.

[amant02]

Err its been a while since i have done HTML. Fix'ed.

Mugen Wing and Mugen front Upper Grille Just arrived from Japan.

Was thinking of spraying both black.... or wing black and grille colour matched.

Also the tow hook cover and the 2 side bottom grille ordered from Honda eta Monday YAY!

[gre03]

looks good man

surprised you found the parts for a facelift. fair few things need to be changed.

sucks about the accidents but its gotta happen sometime.

got any plans for rims/sussy?

what intake do you plan on?

[RenzokukenJ]

sucks about the accidents but its ayshun women for you



troof

execpt my missus smashes my subframe more then she smashes hers, even though her car is lower then mine??

[amant02]

Saw these supercompact for sale in VIC for $700 was thinking about them and rebuilding it once i have it here in syd. If anything for a daily warrior Koni Yellows on eibach springs. For rims we kinda got new ones refer to pic, but its not doing it for me atm. Lets see how light the pocket feels after the sound system is done.

I hvnt really decided on the exhaust and intake. I really like the Injen Intake (but then she thinks its fun driving in puddles). I also like the Mugen Double Sliencer ;)


Yes it was hard to find the parts for the facelift took over 2 months to get it together and its still not completed awaiting the smaller parts to delievered. Then spray and make it look complete.

[gre03]

got my simota SRI in VIC for 115

Man ive been looking for a facelift FBar but havent had luck.. Though a mate of mine told me that he can get an genuine oem facelift bar unpainted for $500.. With the foglight covers/inserts .. (Just reuse the existing foglight lamp/housing on me VTiS.

The mugen rear wing looks too plain like any other rear wings.. I prefer the vtis oem wing ftw!

My GD3 currently has a complete mugen kit rep.. The grill needs tlc.. But i prefer the v2 mugen Fbar.

OP your right parts are hard to come by.. A dude on gumtree is selling kings springs and or D2 racing coilovers. (Same seller)...

The stereo or HU was a bitch to remove and replace.. (DYI).. And i installed MB Quartz front 6.5inch splits at the fronts ..but it requires door frame trimming and a 25mm spacer to fit nice and neat..

From the preface look.. Looks like a standard 1.3L?? The vtis oem sussy is firmer than the 1.3L..

And most ppl do is swap the facelift LED tail lights around.. Not me.. Im using the same as yours but double contacts.. :)

The only mod ive done is changed to extractors only and already noticed a nice power curve and actually feel the vtak kik in yo!! Lol

My intake is still oem box but retro modified..and other undisclosed basic mods Have spooked B16's and other VTiS complete IHE a run for their money (safe controlled environments)

Let us know how u go with the progress of your modding adventure...

[fillit]

i think the holes were because the person couldn't figure out to take out the tow bar cover so they drilled a few holes to pry with.

I'm so scared to leave the car in carparks now lolol.

I'm getting the LED rears. Saw some flim things that you can buy to put on them to make it look smokey. That will be done when we take wing and upper grill to be sprayed,

Rage king - If your looking for the front I know a guy that will do $175 for the front bar and i think $150 for the foglight kit includes everything u need to get it working. PM me. Also this car is the VTi 2001 model (the very 1st one) its got a 1.5L blue dot.

EDIT: oh and its all oem. Im not taking any shortcuts lol. look at that fitment its perfect. I even replaced the 2 passenger doors due to the smallest dent.

Don't worry about it too much, no one steals Jazz's. Just park so people can't dint your car and probably try get panels PDR'd instead of replaced.

PM sent on OEM front bar

[Rage King]

nah no build thread... but i will post up some pics once i get a chance to clean it .. :)

[amant02]

PM sent on OEM front bar

PM Replied. Also Just not the front bar that needs the change. Upper grill, guard liners, 4x support things, tow hook cover, lower grill and 2x smaller side grills(j's racing also makes a sexy replacment part for this) Theres abit to do haha. Also be careful when lining it up around the head lights that was the most tricky part.

[gre03]

this sort of thing?

so your mate can only get the front bar right? no grills or any of the other stuff u said above? i would have thought the front bar would already have the tow hook cover with it?

wat grills? you mean the mesh? ..

the facelift front bar should be 1 piece.. plus the upper grill cover?

EDIT: gre03 - thats too bling /jdm as **** for me.. LOL ..but yes it is nice...that extra grill cover

[amant02]

Nop the additonal parts i have mentioned are not included in the front bar. Even if you order from honda its not included gota pay through your ass for it from honda. Ill upload the quote i got from honda when i get home it came over 2k just for front complete and rear bar. Might as well buy the real mugen full kit for that much. That contact number i gave you can get you all you need to complete OEM whole Jazz front rear sides for under 1k.

GRE03 thats the one! How sexy is that too bad it cost $300 lol and the OEM grill cost me $14.70 at honda lol.

[amant02]

STAY AWAY FROM MUGEN, Unless your doing a full mugen kit. The fit isnt 100% DIY has to be applied in order for the parts to fit properly. Just a heads up to anyone that's planning it!

[amant02]

Selling up!

Last update. We got white number plates for the rear plates. Looks sexy!

[gre03]

[amant02]

Nop not till I have a buyer who wants to part out to save himself money. I mean already selling it for a cheap cheap price. Im willing to settle for 7k cash if someone makes it hassle free.

[10KRPM]

did you sell the stereo stuff already?

[amant02]

Its been installed in my brothers ej6 soz

[amant02]

Hi Guys,

Since the car isn't selling at the moment and the brakes needed replacing.

RDA Slotted and Dimpled Rotors + Bendix Ultimate Brake Pads.

Painted it red for that extra 25kws!

[Jasemas]

What's included on the 100k km service
Jazz' are so underrated
Except the tin foil front radiator support - what shit

[nickcanollie]

Thats the brake combo i have on my jazz :)

[Rage King]

how much did the RDA's cost?

[nickcanollie]

I dunno i got mine on ebay, they were somethign like $250 a pair?

[Rage King]

[amant02]

$250 a pair!?

Bro JDMYard is selling them for $195.

They sold it to me for $160 Ty to John and Yonas.

And how hard were to source them Bendix Ultimate. I had to special order from USA.

.

how long ago was this price bro? im keen on getting a pair for the fronts.

[nickcanollie]

Hey i mean i got them with the brake pads for $250 all up. Ill double check

[nickcanollie]

It was $200 for the brake rotors (november last year on ebay) and $70 for the bendix pads.

and amant, thats posted to my house. So i guess it would be the same as jdmyard offered, but yeah i didnt bother looking around. Bought the car and the wobble on braking was bad so i just wanted the first set i could find!

[amant02]

I just did this last week, bought the parts in the morning, Broke my socket wrench mid day, Went tool shopping, came home and completed by sun down. Good day (Y)

http://www.jdmyard.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=64_74&product_id=67

Link to the rotors from JDMyard, looks like the specials still going.

Also i don't think nick is using Bendix Ultimates, probs Bendix General CT - as these cost $70 and No one stocks on Ultimates for the Jazz in Australia. Oh i have hunted.

The Ultimate's cost me $78 USD + $55 shipping

[nickcanollie]

No, they were bendix ultimates and were old stock at the local mechanic (lucky). They weren't a good combination with the rotors, i found that at the track and on road, if you even did 1 quick break, it would chip away and fall apart at the rotor, and squeak pretty often. So i took em off after 1000km

I went and got the CF ones, much better and would recommend them as a combination with the RDA's.

[nickcanollie]

Also sorry to spam, just read through this whole thread!

Remember when buying parts by mugen, ultra racing, buddyclub etc., check they fit the JDM model, our model compares better than with the USDM fit, so its always a risk.

On a side note, all the Js Racing and Spoon parts on my car fit perfect.

[amant02]

Hi All,

Just reminding to Vote for the Jazz - I really want that Hentai! Please Support my build!

More updates coming very soon, just got her back from a re spray.

Parts left to install, just been too busy and the werid hours of work.

Tien S techs, Konni Yellos, Injen and looking for a silent but sporty sounding exhaust that doesn't make an auto sound douchy.
Tints coming early next month to complete the look.

Spoon Wipers Mini Review:-
CHOICE BRO! Works Amazing! Silent! Clear's All droplets, Spot Free every wipe! I use in conjunction with HONDA Washer Additive - $3 at Warwick Farm dealer. Worth the $135 at JDMyard was on special, JDMconcept sells for $135 norm price lol.

[DreadAngel]

Have you looked into putting the LED tail light from the FL onto yours?

I've been searching around for answers but found nothing? Which is kinda weird =S

[amant02]

Yes I've. Its a direct fit. No mods needed. Even for the 3rd brake light. Good luck finding the lights. If you do, they are pretty pricey.

[DreadAngel]

Hmmm, you might be surprised, but I guess it depends what you call pretty pricey =P

I'm sourcing FL tailights and FL Headlights if they fit...

3rd Brake light is a bit of a mission to find though -_-

[amant02]

I call paying $400 + shipping for 2nd hand lights a ripp.

Honda wants friggen $450 per light.

[DreadAngel]

Yeah, $400 too much, I'm not paying anything near that much ;)

[amant02]

Got hook ups?

[DreadAngel]

Plenty ;)

[Rage King]

What hook ups u got? Any facelift fb?

[DreadAngel]

PM me what you need and I'll see what I can do :)

Regarding FL Front Bumper, I've seen a few in various colours and conditions, some aftermarket parts too :)
