Jazz

Oh if it was free then yeah you could use it....why not?! Do a bit of experimenting and see what happens. If you don't want to muck around with it, send it to me and I'll try it out.

This is only a guess, but I assume you want to go 5 stud so you can put some sort of Type R rims on it yeah? I would like to put charcoal DC2R rims on mine....

The Dynamite runs 5 stud and I believe the 5Zigen modded Fit runs 5 studs as well (I can't quite remember), but both of these are using Brembos.

So yeah it can be done....just don't ask me how. There might also want to look at adapter plates. I don't know where you get them but they do exist.

It seems like way too much hassle for me when you can get pretty much any wheel you want with the current setup...just not Type R rims

i sorta looked at the muffler off my car, gotta wait till the weekend but i dont think the b-pipe is wide enough on the jazz, the bolts seem to join in the right place but there might end up being space between the b-pipe and the dc5r muffler, looks much thinner than the DC5R connenection point, would it be possible to weld a adaptor so the pipe would be similar to size as the jazz's original?

just wondering if any of it is worth the trouble but i guess doesnt hurt to try. I've looked at a few mufflers, spoon and mugen ones but they seem to be quite expensive but i guess there is no other option unless i want to chop a bit of pipe and well a universal muffler on which i dont want to do.


the type-r mags i would really like to put on my car from my mate's type-r :x . Rang honda up today just for the fun of it, new type-r mags are around $930 per wheel :cry: why this expensive i have no idea.

Any competent exhaust shop should be able to fit it up for you, and you're right, the diameter of the piping on the DC5R muffler will be bigger.

I'm interested to see what it looks like.

You're right, all the brand name bolt-on stuff is expensive. If you don't want to chop up your factory gear then you have 2 options. Leave it stock, or bite the bullet and pay up. Fitting a generic thing isn't so bad. It will cost you half as much. I'm looking at getting the x-force twin loop now that the BC3 is gone.

$930 a rim is ridiculous......man that is just sickening. You would be better off getting some forged rims for around half that price! (If you had to pay retail for them of course).

I honestly can't think of any easy/quick way to get them on. Maybe ring a few wheel shops and see if they have stud converter adapters. If you can get the rims for free too, then you may as well check it out....

the type-r muffler?

yeah what it looks like fitted to the car....

well i didnt get it to exactly fit, well it fits onto the b-pipe but the bolt holes arent at the correct point but if seems to slot on top of the b-pipe perfectly fine. also the vtis rear spoiler seemed to be a bit of a problem but it hooks around those plastic muffler support (what eva you call them) fine. so the only problem are the bolts, might have a look at it this weekend, take both mufflers to a shop. But it wouldnt take much work to get it stay underneath the car and not drag throwing sparks everywhere.

i took some pics of the two mufflers side by side, but got nowhere to post them.

i mean the one on the RED Mugen car's bumper in the mugen homepage.
my frd is helping me to ask around and will have the price soon i believe.

I think it is too much trouble for the ITR rims since yr's not a typeR anyway unless u did K20A in yr car.

I am looking to buy some rims for my car after finance it approved. will 17 too big coz D2000 rims is now around $730 which look so nice

Yep I know the one you're talking about...

17s will fit OK, but personally I think they are too big for the car.

I think 16s would be the max as far as performance/ride goes, but yeah they fill fit no probs at all, though they will throw your speedo out.

A guy in Sydney I know had 19s on his for a while. Stock suspension and it didn't even scrub.

I have some 16 inch P1s for sale if you like ;)

i know u got some p1 but it is a bit expensive for me still
i may go for rota or d2000

Hey pepz, i also own a Honda Jazz vti cvt 7spd. This thread is very interesting and hope there are a new headline in the honda section which can belong t0 the Jazz owner (msg to admin ;) )

would something like this do the job?
http://www.club-miniban.com/noblesse.../other2_e.html

Yeah I've seen that before, and yeah it probably would do the job, but check out the price man...100,000yen! by the time you get them in to the country, you could have bought a set of Rega Evos or something!

If you go down that path, you might want to look in to the legalities as well, as I'm not 100% sure they are legal. Also check the Type R rims will fit as these adapters will change your offset and everything too...

From my understanding, they use these adapters in Japan to fit wheels meant for Benzos, like Brabus, Carlsson, etc....

Im pretty sure they are illegal as they bolt onto your existing 4-stud system so its just a add on and personally wouldnt use it, not really keen on that, it looks a bit funny but i guess if i used the car for carshows then i guess it would be a option.


another question, where did you get your apexi power intake and how much did it set you back? what are the two sensors that are connected to the box, i thought the other one might be a air temperature measuring unit but the other one im not sure about, maybe some kind of crank flowing ??? but they are obviously required for the fitment of a pod?
How big is the inlet into the throttle body for the air intake piping?

OK, I got it through www.modyourcar.com.au and I think it cost me $260.

The kit includes the intake pipe, brackets, clamps, hose, everything you need. It's about a 15minute job to put in.

There is one sensor which is the air-flow sensor - this is at the back of the box and there is a whole on the A'pexi intake pipe for the sensor (you just have to use the rubber grommet from the factory box though). The other hose is just the vent/breather for the head.

Like I said, p*ss easy to do!

My car is going in on Tuesday to get a custom cold-air box/feed made up for it. It is going to set me back about $200, but there's no real point fitting the intake if you aren't going to seal it up and give it fresh cold air.

If you want noise it will be fine. If you want a crazy set-up it is going to cost close to $500 (like me - I'm stupid), or if you want performance, I would seriously consider modding the factory box man. Buy a Spoon or Trust replacement filter and modify the factory box. Run a cold air feed from the front of the car and you'll be set. It will cost you less than $200 and will probably give just as good gains as the full custom set-up whilst retaining a factory look....you just won't get the sound from a fully exposed filter...

hi everyone,
1st posting here.

:o

Took delivery of my manual black Vti Jazz last month after trading in my Golf.

Jus-10 - like the way you've upgraded your car. more pics would be nice :)
how are the Buddy Club wheels? mind if i ask - how much (or you got them from modyour.com.au?).

the first thing i want to change is the wheels. the 165/65 R14 are ..umm .. well .. shocking 8) .. also, they are too thin.
i'm looking at changing to a 15-inch rim and better tyres 185/55 (or 190?), possibly the B'stone RE040 that come with the VTI-S.
i saw on the internet someone changing to B'stone G2 195/50 R15 in japan .. that should be good too.

Hi and welcome!

Pics to come as everything arrives and it all comes together....

I can't remember how much I paid for the buddyclubs. I think it was around $1,400. I haven't fitted them yet (they are still all boxed up) and they are for sale if you want *hint, hint*. They are 16inch and will still fit no probs with a 205/45 tyre. I mean 19s will even fit relatively easily!

The stock wheels/tyres are pretty shocking aren't they? Quite scary if you take a corner too fast.

What sort of rims are you after? Colour, etc? Check out the For Sale section as there is a second-hand set of forged Mugen rims for sale in white (15x7) that would be perfect for your car if you like that look. Super light too!

You will easily fit 195/50/15 on the Jazz and that is what I would be aiming for with a set of 15s.

Charcoal P1s would look great against the black with some anodized wheel nuts to add a little dash of colour....

Done anything else to it, or anything else planned?

Hey Jus10, thanks for the info.

i've seen pics of the P1s. they are beautiful aren't they? why are you selling them brand-new?
i'm actually looking for something exactly like the P1 (6-spokes), but don't want anything that is too similar to the 6-spokers on the VTI-s. would prefer silver or gold as they complement the black paintjob pretty well.

i saw the mugen rims that you mentioned. look nice but white would be a total contrast to black. it's shouting LOOK-AT-ME too loudly :D

I'm looking for 15s. Don't think I'll go for 16s. Wifey shares the car and I know i won't have much peace (from her) if the we feel every bump & hole on the roads.

Still in early stages of researching for rims. Am also looking at some Lenso's and TSW's.

I'm aiming to enjoy the car as much as possible first before trying further mods. After all, it's only barely 1500kms.

I'm thinking of possibly - strut braces, shocks or springs, with no specific time-line.

If there's anything on the exterior that I would like to change (apart from the wheels), then it's the headlights. Although they are big, I find that they are pretty hopeless for normal winter night use.
Unless there's something wrong with the set-up of my lights, they don't shine far at all!
i like this a lot:
http://www.mugen-power.com/street/04...img/banner.jpg

I've read that in some countries, they have used Eibach springs for Honda City on the Jazz. APparently they are interchangeable?

Anyway .. would be interesting to see how the jazz handles the old pacific highway or wisemen ferry road... or even the occassional trip down to narooma, or macquarie pass.

Hey guys,

finally have the post up about putting the airhorns in the jazz.

http://www.ozhonda.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8142

just did it at uni between classes so hope it comes out ok.

as i said down the bottom of it if there is any problems with it or it doesnt make sense just pm and ill fix it up.

hey wylo3 :) more jazz owners the better.

with the headlights i you can get the HID fog lights form mugen but can you get the headlights like on the dynamite for it anywhere?? the headlights on the dynamite are they xenons or just another headlight??

Pete :)

nice, many Jazz owner here.
maybe we can request our own section.
My car will be able to pick up this week and all parts lying around in my house already
hehehehe
Anyone from Melbourne?

I beleive the Dynamite headlights are xenons. The updated Fit in Japan has xenons as a factory option. I wouldn't mind getting the Dynamite lights if I could find them (I don't think they exist yet)

Other than that, mine are pretty crap at night too.

I have no idea if the Eibachs from the City fit the Jazz/Fit. Could be possible, but there are plenty of options for springs from the big players in Japan.

I have been in a Jazz with Tein springs and factory shocks and was a really nice ride.

So TypeG what other parts have you got lying around your house? Sounds like my place at the moment....

lol
just some meter visor and window visor and some rice interior for fit
mugen aero kit and KYB shock will be send from HK soon
and 17' rims
going to quote for carbon bonnet too
for exhuast, i will just go for some no brand stuff

cool. anyone know if the xenons for JDM Fit is available via honda locally or through the web?

TypeG - will your KYB shock go with stock springs or .. ? what's an "aero kit"?

Oh .. just remember another thing .. i seriously want to upgrade the rear drum brakes to a set of disk brakes. heard (not sure) that the new facelift jazz will come with rear disk brakes?

finally .. what sort of engine oil is best for these vtec engines?
the Honda dealer i go to uses REPSOL. the dealer does servicing every 10Ks.
i'm thinking of doing the 5K engine oil/filter change myself.

No OEM xenons are available through Honda for the Jazz and I doubt they will come out on the update model. It is an optionin Japan and I doubt they will have it as an option here as they are too expensive. You could always just get an atermarket H4 hi/low kit, but they are pretty pricey.

Rear discs are available on the update model in Japan, albeit not all models, so we won't know if Oz spec models will receive them until Honda Oz releases more details. I was speaking to a guy who said that conversion kits are available in Hong Kong, but he wasn't sure of price or anything like that.

My Honda dealer uses 5W-40 full synthetic in my car (not sure of the brand). I get mine changed every 5000kms with a new filter.

lol
aero kit mean the red mugen jazz's full replacement front bar
the shocker are still in oversea and i dont know what springs i will use yet.

I dun think Xenon lights will be out in Aus man even in Japan but you can ask z10 if he can get one or just go for HID will be nice enough.

for the rear disk, if the new jazz got it, we can always wait a bit for some second hand parts although is is new but always there are some careless drivers total loss their cars. LOL

engine oil.... i will get back to u what i am using for mt ITR b4. That's GOD OIL.

btw, saw a white jazz vti-s i think it was on the way into broadbeach the other day, had a cf hood :D looked aiight - anyone here own it? :P

Sounds like the Jazz I see at my gym. Did it have sticker at the rear windscreen?

Hi,

Do you know where I can buy a strut braces for Honda Jazz? I mean I never heard J's racing b4. any addy or telephone?

Thanx.

Just to let you guys know, I have a modded Jazz (or am in the process of fitting parts), and I think I know a few of the other members here....

I have a 2003 VTi in white with the following mods:

A'pexi Power Intake
Buddy Club P1 Racing Rims in Titanium Silver - 16x7 with 195/45 Goodyears
Buddy Club P1 Racing wheel nuts
Buddy Club Spec 3 cat-back exhaust
Cusco Vacanza Z-wagon super-low coil-vers
Philips Diamond Vision Headlights.

A lot of the parts are still sitting in my lounge room because they have all just arrived from Japan and I ned to find some time to get it all fitted up.

Other mods I will be doing is fitting an A'pexi VAFC2 when I can find a black one and tinting the windows...

I have also found a heap of strut braces from J's Racing and am waiting for the distributor to get back to me with some prices.

Apart from that it will just be little DIY jobs. I am in the process of getting the parts so that the lower part of the tail lights actually work.

So yeah that's about it.....for now anyway

The car is awesome and I don't care what anybody says about the Jazz...I love it :D


J

---

Check out www.jsracing.co.jp and go to the Fit parts....

other than that, Spoon do front upper and lower braces, as do Cusco. Mugen do a front strut brace but it is so damn expensive compared to the others. 5Zigen should be releasing one too soon...that thing looks mental,

Tanghy should be able to hook you up with whatever it is you want.

hi Iwky_77,
is the avatar a pic of your Jazz?
nice wheels!
what size are they?

yes it's his car and they're 17s.....

Just-10:
Gud guessing man :D btw, thanx for the link too :)

in my searching i have found this
**hint intercooler hint**

http://fit.i-see.jp/photo/gya3/singo001.jpg
http://fit.i-see.jp/photo/gya3/singo002.jpg

all ive found is this pic but no specs!

would be interesting to see them :D :twisted:

Pete :)

Looks soooooooo like a photoshop!

Thats bloddy awesome!!!! if its a chop job its a bloddy good one.....I dont think it is

Didn't say it is ;)......just said it looks like one!

Nah it's no p-shop job. They are the only pics I have seen of that particular one.

There is also an orange one that is turbo as well. Have seen pics of the engine of that, put haven't seen any specs. I don't have any pics of it either.....

havent found the other orange one . . . . . yet!

yeah just been looking around at all the DIY's and the japanese love their LED lights!!!!!

they put them in everything you can think of!

if anyone ever sees the part no.s for the console so you can replace the standard stereo could you pm me or post them up pls :)

ive just been seraching around and whoa!

the fits in japan are awesome!!

just thought id share something lol

Pete :)

hahaha..still haven't found the part numbers.

I'll ask at Bel tonight.

Tanghy said he is getting a Fit badge for you too!

that turbo one is very nice :D

iwky77 - did you lower your car as well or just changed the rims to 17s?

curious to find out from other jazz owners - what option parts did u get when purchasing your car?
(i got floor mats and tints only)

does anyone have a CD stacker for their cars? where are they mounted?
i've got a 10-CD stacker (from my old car) which seems to be too big to fit anywhere in the jazz w/o it taking up too much space.

I got the mats too, but that was it....everything else is, or will be, aftermarket.

Probably the best place to put the stacker may be under one of the front seats. I haven't checked it out for stacker fitment, but there seems to be a lot of room under there.

I get my car back tonight with the new shroud/box and cold air feed for my A'pexi intake, so will have to get some progress pics up...

dude .. under the front seats, there is no space at all. that's where the fuel tank is, isn't it?

a write-up of your experience with the Apexi mod would be welcomed! 8)

hmmm...you could be right about the lack of room....

I just know I stash CDs under there sometimes. Not quit a stacker I know.

Will post details of any differences/improvements (if any) once I go for a spin tonight.

Oh and just in case you guys don't notice, I managed to convince the mods/wyn to put our own little "Jazz" section in the model specific area, so make sure you are all posting things up in there now!

Woo hoo

you beat me too it justin! :P

yeah i just noticed that then!!

yay :D

thanks mods 8)

so are all the jazz topics going to get moved over including this one??

got my bayonets today so whei i eventually do put it in is it worth doing a diy in english??

Pete :)

It's pretty simple....

remove rear bar
remove tail lights
drill hole in tail lights
wire up bayonet
re-install tail lights
re-fit rear bar.

If you do do an English version it will probably be the first in the world! Maybe we should do it together one weekend or something? I still haven't been able to find something that will drill a 21mm hole without hacking it to bits.....

yeah that would be cool.

i still have to get the globes, cables, joiners and some plugs but they're easy to get so i'll prob have them sometime by the end of this coming weekend.

everything is all sorted with tanghy for the badge as well 8) :D

and emailed hondar about getting the vafc2 so will see what will be happening with that by thursday :)

does anyone know what front bar this is on this jazz?
http://fit-souhonzan.or.tv/cgibin/fitphoto/img/97.jpg

is this the orange turbo jazz you saw?
http://fit-souhonzan.or.tv/cgibin/fitphoto/img/31.jpg
there looks like there is some thing behind the rear bar but not sure

also i think i like the look of the type r badge on a silver jazz now that ive seen it
http://fit-souhonzan.or.tv/cgibin/fitphoto/img/13.jpg

and some more pictures becasue i feel like it :roll:
http://fit-souhonzan.or.tv/cgibin/fitphoto/img/73.jpg
http://fit-souhonzan.or.tv/cgibin/fitphoto/img/73_2.jpg

Pete :)

don't like the last 2 blue cars :)

silver jazz with type-R badge looks to be on 14s (similar to the ones on my car) :D

err .. what does the bayonet do?

its the socket that holds the light globe in the rear tail lights.

i have no idea how it got the name bayonet but its pretty much just a light socket.

Pete :)

cant u stash it in the glove box?
i know a guy who did that - 6 stack though

nice, we got our own section
good job mod

hows it coming along?

Not as simple or as straight forward as we thought or would have liked. I have ended up with a 3 wall shield....

I'm still working on running a cold air feed to it...

The shroud rattles like a mofo too and it sounds like the engine is going to fall out or something - not that it will, there is just a lot of metal on metal noises that don't sound too pretty...

So yeah...it's an ongoing thing for now. Not too happy at this stage.

the grey one looks a bit like a kazama/uras/ings frontbar... has like drift styling :D

huhu
