Jazz

[wyl03]

Hey Jus10, thanks for the info.

i've seen pics of the P1s. they are beautiful aren't they? why are you selling them brand-new?
i'm actually looking for something exactly like the P1 (6-spokes), but don't want anything that is too similar to the 6-spokers on the VTI-s. would prefer silver or gold as they complement the black paintjob pretty well.

i saw the mugen rims that you mentioned. look nice but white would be a total contrast to black. it's shouting LOOK-AT-ME too loudly

I'm looking for 15s. Don't think I'll go for 16s. Wifey shares the car and I know i won't have much peace (from her) if the we feel every bump & hole on the roads.

Still in early stages of researching for rims. Am also looking at some Lenso's and TSW's.

I'm aiming to enjoy the car as much as possible first before trying further mods. After all, it's only barely 1500kms.

I'm thinking of possibly - strut braces, shocks or springs, with no specific time-line.

If there's anything on the exterior that I would like to change (apart from the wheels), then it's the headlights. Although they are big, I find that they are pretty hopeless for normal winter night use.
Unless there's something wrong with the set-up of my lights, they don't shine far at all!
i like this a lot:


I've read that in some countries, they have used Eibach springs for Honda City on the Jazz. APparently they are interchangeable?

Anyway .. would be interesting to see how the jazz handles the old pacific highway or wisemen ferry road... or even the occassional trip down to narooma, or macquarie pass.

Hey guys,

hey wylo3 more jazz owners the better.

with the headlights i you can get the HID fog lights form mugen but can you get the headlights like on the dynamite for it anywhere?? the headlights on the dynamite are they xenons or just another headlight??

nice, many Jazz owner here.
maybe we can request our own section.
My car will be able to pick up this week and all parts lying around in my house already
hehehehe
Anyone from Melbourne?

[Jus-10]

I beleive the Dynamite headlights are xenons. The updated Fit in Japan has xenons as a factory option. I wouldn't mind getting the Dynamite lights if I could find them (I don't think they exist yet)

Other than that, mine are pretty crap at night too.

I have no idea if the Eibachs from the City fit the Jazz/Fit. Could be possible, but there are plenty of options for springs from the big players in Japan.

I have been in a Jazz with Tein springs and factory shocks and was a really nice ride.

So TypeG what other parts have you got lying around your house? Sounds like my place at the moment....

[TypeG]

lol
just some meter visor and window visor and some rice interior for fit
mugen aero kit and KYB shock will be send from HK soon
and 17' rims
going to quote for carbon bonnet too
for exhuast, i will just go for some no brand stuff

[wyl03]

cool. anyone know if the xenons for JDM Fit is available via honda locally or through the web?

TypeG - will your KYB shock go with stock springs or .. ? what's an "aero kit"?

Oh .. just remember another thing .. i seriously want to upgrade the rear drum brakes to a set of disk brakes. heard (not sure) that the new facelift jazz will come with rear disk brakes?

finally .. what sort of engine oil is best for these vtec engines?
the Honda dealer i go to uses REPSOL. the dealer does servicing every 10Ks.
i'm thinking of doing the 5K engine oil/filter change myself.

[Jus-10]

No OEM xenons are available through Honda for the Jazz and I doubt they will come out on the update model. It is an optionin Japan and I doubt they will have it as an option here as they are too expensive. You could always just get an atermarket H4 hi/low kit, but they are pretty pricey.

Rear discs are available on the update model in Japan, albeit not all models, so we won't know if Oz spec models will receive them until Honda Oz releases more details. I was speaking to a guy who said that conversion kits are available in Hong Kong, but he wasn't sure of price or anything like that.

My Honda dealer uses 5W-40 full synthetic in my car (not sure of the brand). I get mine changed every 5000kms with a new filter.

[TypeG]

lol
aero kit mean the red mugen jazz's full replacement front bar
the shocker are still in oversea and i dont know what springs i will use yet.

I dun think Xenon lights will be out in Aus man even in Japan but you can ask z10 if he can get one or just go for HID will be nice enough.

for the rear disk, if the new jazz got it, we can always wait a bit for some second hand parts although is is new but always there are some careless drivers total loss their cars. LOL

engine oil.... i will get back to u what i am using for mt ITR b4. That's GOD OIL.

Sounds like the Jazz I see at my gym. Did it have sticker at the rear windscreen?

Hi,

Do you know where I can buy a strut braces for Honda Jazz? I mean I never heard J's racing b4. any addy or telephone?

Thanx.

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I just joined and have been reading through a few posts....

Just to let you guys know, I have a modded Jazz (or am in the process of fitting parts), and I think I know a few of the other members here....

I have a 2003 VTi in white with the following mods:

A'pexi Power Intake
Buddy Club P1 Racing Rims in Titanium Silver - 16x7 with 195/45 Goodyears
Buddy Club P1 Racing wheel nuts
Buddy Club Spec 3 cat-back exhaust
Cusco Vacanza Z-wagon super-low coil-vers
Philips Diamond Vision Headlights.

A lot of the parts are still sitting in my lounge room because they have all just arrived from Japan and I ned to find some time to get it all fitted up.

Other mods I will be doing is fitting an A'pexi VAFC2 when I can find a black one and tinting the windows...

I have also found a heap of strut braces from J's Racing and am waiting for the distributor to get back to me with some prices.

Apart from that it will just be little DIY jobs. I am in the process of getting the parts so that the lower part of the tail lights actually work.

So yeah that's about it.....for now anyway

The car is awesome and I don't care what anybody says about the Jazz...I love it

Check out www.jsracing.co.jp and go to the Fit parts....

other than that, Spoon do front upper and lower braces, as do Cusco. Mugen do a front strut brace but it is so damn expensive compared to the others. 5Zigen should be releasing one too soon...that thing looks mental,

Tanghy should be able to hook you up with whatever it is you want.
