Typical azn young fella's Spoon-style GD Jazz

[3K9]

Jan 2017

Went to JDMYard to upgrade to Hardrace bushings. Only the fronts were installed, as there and then, they realised that the complete rear torizon beam/sussy/wheels needs to come off to be done, A 5 - 6 hr job, they don't have the sufficient press to perform the job. =/ Hardrace Australia, more like hilarious race Aus. Such an inconvenience, that they had to overcharge 45 min for the job as well. Go figure.
As of now (Dec 2017), I still haven't gotten around installing the rear Hardrace bushings. I bought a massive bushing kit, hopefully I'll have enough play to swap bushings over without taking everything out.

Some chick at uni reversed into me at low speed. =S



As she didn't wanna go through insurance, went to my local repair shop that worked on my EG, quoted $1300 for the job, + $82 for the rear door that I picked up a Pick N Payless.

Since there's a edge running across the door, pulling it out wouldn't be a 100% fix.
The whole left side of the Jazz needed to be resprayed to blend in the new blue with original blue, wheel arch had to be repaired, also bumper needed to be repaired as well.

So I thought to myself, now's a good time to get myself this:



INGs rear bumper!

So I placed an order through Gorillza Industries.



Previous owner of my Spoon Sussy finally found the other two set of Spoon Springs, so I swapped Eibach springs to Spoons. A tad lower, slightly stiffer too, upping the handling and response. Although there's only a subtle difference, there was enough for me to go 'WOW'.





Fronts - Eibach vs Spoon:



Rear:



Allowed a friend to use/borrow my Eibachs:





For safety reasons since the tyres on the Regas are old af, I switched back to stockies temporarily.


October:

Bumper finally arrived by ship from the land of the JDM.









Sent babe to the workshop:



Turn around time in a week!





I haz forgotten to mention to paint the fake diffuser lower section black. -.- Oh well, looks good!

Anyways *in an azn voice*, It's sooooooo SX-C.

The corners of the bumper is curvier than OEM. Lovin' dem 'speed holes', like how Homer described them!



HOWEVER, there's one problemo.



There's a bulge in the middle caused by the rear tow hook!

Underneath behind shot:



Emailed INGs, awaiting their reply on what to do. My workshop & I are think on cutting hole for around the tow hook. What do you guys reckon?

About two months ago, the clutch decided to finally give way at under 120 K Kms. Clutch is slipping like a mofo. I should of realised earlier. However, nothing beats actually experiencing something personally in RL.
