Honda Jazz 2005 - VTEC

[Duke]

Hi guys, I'm new in this forum, just bought a 1.5 VTEC Jazz 2005 for my wife. A facelift Model with 4 disc brake and Modulo Body Kit, upgraded set of 16" alloy Wheels with 205/45/16 Falken tyres.

Turning 36 this year, I know this car is a bit too hip for me, but I kinda enjoy putting staff here and there though I have no idea how to start.

Need some advise from you guys:-
1. Suspension & springs, the stock suspension & spring seems to be a bit on the soft side, any good Recommendation.

2. HID, been reading so much about HID on the net, too much information = confusing conclusion. Need to know what is the best k? Once again , it's my wife that is driving the car, don't need coppers harrasing her.................

3. Strut Bar - I've found a Front Strut Bar (Spoon) around my area, it's the one mounted on the engine bay, does it help? Or do I need to get the entire package.

BTW, I'm From Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Though used to study in Melbourre, but those were the days where Bob Hawk was the PM of Australia. Will take a few pictures of Jazz in Malaysia, these guys' Jazz are ....... pretty compromised............. roadworthy wise................

A new person to the forum who typed out VTEC properly!

And as for your wife, damn shes a lucky woman.

Welcome to the forum, and be sure to post pics of your Jazz

Personally, Id get sway bars first before getting struts.

But i aint a jazzpert, so ill leave it to teh jazz boyz.

Modulo kit and 4 wheel disc
got some pictures?

Shock and springs, I think your local N1 or Amoil can help u. But things like KYB and GAB are better then standard. Or u can option for Showa shocks with OBK or KGMM springs (showa manufacture for mugen and spoon.)

get 6000k HID, is white colour which is legal (can't u just pay 50RM and drive off anyway lol )


Spoon strut looks like a no name brand. I opt for something else since u can get so many stuff over in Malay.

duke - u may already be aware of it .. jazz enthusiasts in KL usually go to N1 racing (bandar sunway) for their "needs"

They have got all the jalan for Jazz accessories in KL at discount price.

yeah there are heaps of shop at Sunway.
goto Racing Fit, they are specialist in K cars. I think Amoil is next to there shop.

Thanks a lot guys, you guys sure know about Malaysia well.......

duke - did ur car come standard with rear disc brakes or it was upgraded?

[Duke]

Standard with Rear Disc Brake. This ia Thai VTEC. Mine was the first in Malaysia (three weeks ago), and now... there are hundreds of it on the road, apparently the first 200 units were all snap up within 3 -4 days.

[wyl03]

duke - thai vtec? huh? u mean they are assembling jazz in thailand now (in addition to the city)?

sounds like the new jazz are very well specced. i wonder if i can get the original rear disc brakes off the shelf in KL

[Duke]

Will check for you, but there are some guys with the older Jazz putting City Rear Disc DIY
