Jazz as a Performance Vehicle?

[**Ghost**]

Hi guys, as some of you might know i already own an Ek4 so the following question is actually asked on behalf of my cousin.


He asking the jazz is like from a "performance" perspective... obviously a jazz isnt going to beat a wrx in a straight line war nor a lan-evo in a corner....

but is a 7 second 0-100KM with bolt-ons (high quality ones) possible?

in terms of cornering, with coilovers (eg: tein wagons), will it be comparable to a civic si (his current car)

witout a turbo or integra type r transplant



forget it

[supatt]

7 sec should be quite possible. the stock is doing 9.6 sec =)
and there are bolt on turbo and supercharger kits available.so should be possible.=).

i dont consider a car with a diff engine the same car anymore.

e.g.
Jazz With a K20A just isn't a Jazz
A EG with a K20A isn't a EG, its a friggen monster

[panda]

this a pretty redundant question

jazz is designed for economy

1.5 vtec version rated at 110bhp, 1.3? i would just forget it

you want 200+bhp? only choice is k20a swap or bolt on turbo, otherwise look for other car options

a turbo'ed Jazz will run 8 seconds.. 7 seconds for a N/A Jazz is impossible, not with the stock L15A engine anyway.. 9 seconds is probably as far as it will get.

Yeah, the Jazz isn't fast at all in a straight line, but its very chuckable. A lot more fun in the twisties that I first expected. On top of the stock Jazz, if you add a bit of stiffening on the rear (rear strut between the C pillars), it handles very nicely

[fundies]

My Jazz is as fast as my 2000 NB MX5 through the Royal National park ( Sydney ) twisties ( believe it or not ). A slightly choppy surface lets the Jazz keep up with the MX5 in terms grip/corner speed. The 7 speed CVT is also quick and fun to flick up and down, making the most of modest torque and power. Fun!!!!!!!!!

even with taking out rear seats, spare tyres, doin a custom intake system , full exhaust including extractors, vafc2 i reckon you would be hard to get into the low 8sec 0-100km/h. not sure if there is cams or ecu available for jazz

thanks for teh replies ppl! : )

u see he is tossing up between an old teggy for 17,000 or a almost new VTiS jazz... everyone knows the old teggiesa would cane... but he doesnt want the problems associated with an old car

wot about handling? with coilovers and the appropriate swaybars/strubars/bushes/etc how does the jazz go in the handling department?
