Jazz as a mod prospect?

Out of its class, it is comparitively quite zippy.

In terms of the others saying they kept up with the other ludes etc. Im pretty sure they are just referring to not being left behind and the jazz can hold its own. Of course other factors come into this like whether the driver is trying or not.

Engine transplants can be done to hte jazz and has been done by mugen. THere is the infamous K20a jazz and now there is also a super charged one as well.

So why do we get bagged out for tinkering with the performance aspects when all the civics that used to be considered the small car of the honda, get to do their engine transplants and tinker with their performance side.

Im pretty sure no one here expects to beat any car that is not in its class. It''s just utter stupidy to think so unless some serious modifications have been done. So there is no need to take everyone's comments as a threat.

Im getting sick of explaining this to people so Im going to withdraw from this thread.

My 2 cents

I agree with Kuso. With the same class cars i believe the Jazz is best amongst them. BEST MOTORING videos will prove that. :thumbsup:

I think a Jazz is not quick but quick enough for it's size. To me you dont really have to be quick on the street. But put the Jazz on the track and I think it will perform great. WIth just a few suspension mods it will be a great track car. Not quick Not powerfull but just a balanced car....

i smell bs...if u launced a wrx in first gear....jazz would be gone...simple as that

jazz aint built for striaght line speed :P, it has its strengths but with a 1.5 motor, it aint built for drags... all cars have limitations....

we aint comparing it to a wrx dc2dc2dc2.. we are saing it u put it next to a mitsubitshi coult or a hyandi gets, toyota yaris/eco, merc a-class etc... dood i wouldnt pull up to a wrx with a stock jazz, so many things putting the wrx in advantage, 4wd, turbo etc

car^boy, ye aat the time i did my conversion there where tubo kits availiable but i heard it was from 5k-8k, custom was the cheapest option for me.

the jazz has potential alike all cars, its a matter of money and resources. but in its frame it does have limitations, fwd and engine space its limited in the mods to the original engine and availibility, cost and variety of L-series engines if it was to have a transplant

if u wanna compare a modded jazz that's decked out with R gear, compare it to the WRC wrx. :rolleyes:

The jazz is a people mover. A simple little fuel economical people mover. it will never be more then that.

^^^ you've obviously never seen the spoon fit on best motoring (a link is posted in one of the above posts, watch it! looks cool going around the track)

They state because of the cars lighweight and well balanced frame/chassis it has the potential to drive/feel like a true sports car.

Their only critiscism was a lack of engine power... as posted above a k20a would solve that no worries

There is also another Best Motoring video where they are reviewing all the various small cars and putting them on the track. The Jazz left the pack from the get go. they couln't even catch up.

There is another BEst Motoring Video the SPOON Jazz went against another tuning companies K-Car = a Pink Toyota Echo turbo charged....

err.....yes......i dont know what or never seen the spoon fit in my life........ :rolleyes:

Yes it has "potenital" every single car has "potential"" :rolleyes:

But the simple fact is, the jazz straight out of the box is a fuel economical little people mover.

They dont get mass manufactured with 50 way height and damper adjustable 20/18 kg coilovers, or thick front and rear sway bars, strut bars, tie bars. So they wont do shit on the track.

Reason being ? they are a fuel economical little square toyota hilux lookalike people mover.

name a car that is manafactured to such specifications.

I know of at least one person that has tracked a relatively stock jazz and achieved some great times on queensland raceway - of course he was a good driver - but there is more to doing "shit" on the track than being fast in a straight line and having superhard coilovers.

Take the jazz for what it is... an economical small car, compare it in it's category (not against a bloody wrc spec wrx) and maybe you'll cme see it's a decent little car for a bit of fun.

It's hard not to appreciate these points if you keep an open mind...

i only started reading from post 100 so i dont know what this thread is about ahha

but i take it you not know the meanin of " :rolleyes: " and you can't sense sarcasm when its in your face.

i dont agrue the fact that spoon or mugen jazz's are fast.

but the people with stock jazzs' that have a high flow carbon fibre titaninum anti aircraft rocket boosting "fast muffler" engrave muffler made from stealth bomber material and an ultra kw pumping turbine feed super rush air filter that thinks their cars are fast shit me up the wall...
