omg.... I am studying my master course and will finish next year and I have to wait another year for that. =( Thta's bad. How do you think of the resale value for Jazz? Is it hold good? Coz I may just buy one and drive since waiting to the end of the month is not worth for me coz I just have an year left in Aus. Also the LED lights should be able to swap over from the old one so not a problem at all i think.
But so bad it did have mp3 player as an option.
Resale seems to be pretty good.
And yes, the LEDs should be able to be swapped over to the old shape. No doubt the guys in Japan will be on to this in no time and it will be pretty easy to find a DIY, part numbers, etc. I don't think it will be a straight plug and play swap though.
If price is reasonable, I want to do it before they release the update in Australia.
Just out of interest sakes, I e-mailed Honda Oz for more details. They said they can't give out anything yet...not even a release date.
I found all the options on the Jap site so we can get a bit of an idea of what they will cost.
HID - 52,500yen ($690)
Climate COntrol - 42,000yen ($552)
Folding Mirrors - 21,000yen ($276)
Sunroof - 84,000yen ($1105)
Keycard entry - 47,200yen ($621)
Side air bags - 47,250yen ($621)
Sat-nav - 304,500yen ($4006)
Based on these prices I think it would be pretty safe to say that the cost in Australia will be an easy 50% more should they even be offered. (some of the parts I just included for interest - they have heaps of other cool stuff that will never come here like LED lighting inside).
I spec'd up an equivalent to our VTi which retails currently at about $22k on the road. This included the climate control, key-card, sat-nav and HIDs. The Jap version would cost just under 1,800,000yen or about $23,500, or about $19,500 minus sat-nav.
The margins seem way too small for the climate control, etc to be offered, and I can't see many people forking out $1,000 for a keycard system on a $19,990 car.
Just some more info for you prospective Jazz owners to look over more than anything.
would putting a current model type-r muffler onto my jazz do any damage to it or improve performance at all?
To be honest I don't think it will do too much either way.
I had thought of this, but then to go to the trouble of finding a Type R muffler, and then the expense, you could have just got something else which will probably perform a bit better anyway.
I'd say if you don't want noise, then stick with the stockie....it does a decent enough job already.
true
but mostly ppl only go for the look only for some non-noise muffler
but u can wait for the HKS n1 silent muffler for jazz which is nearlt the same db as stock one and is totally legal.
Anyone interested for order a mugen bar from oversea? I asked my frd to ask the price for me now.
Silent N1 hay?
I'd like to see that! hehehe
Which Mugen bar are you looking at? There are 3.

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....
