My Jazz update

[revzero]

Quite a few people have asked for it, so may as well put it here rather than refer to another site.

Here's my car, still a lot to do but i have decided to stop for a couple months due to financial crysis as well as bad exchange rates between US/CAD/JPN and UK pounds.

[revzero]

Copied from another site:

Must remind you, that there will only be one update on a monthly basis as parts for this car are like needles in a haystack, and due to prices of importing parts from oversea's, i only manage to get some parts i want, but having to wait next month, when my pay check arrives and use that money to get parts fitted.... sigh

So all in all, if i keep on schedule, this project will be completed within the next 3 years!

For the opening update, i don't have much pics of my car due to having crappy weather this week, and not being able to clean my car too.

I did use a timeline to keep track of what i would be buying each month, but decided to scrap that idea, as i tend to end up buying different parts than what i originally planned, plus its not easy when you need to save money to go towards 3 holiday trips this year!

Well here are the pics of the kit i have got... now its time to find a time to get them fitted.. hopefully some time this week!

Here's a pic of the underside of my car.. it needs bit of a clean i think!

Got my B-Pipe and Intake fitted... and what a difference it has made!! It is much more responsive than it was before as well as sounding much more louder and fierce... and i love it


All in all took around 6hours to fit, as it was a bitch to take off the old B-Pipe due to corroded bolts etc.. as well as to modify the new B-Pipe as that wouldn't fit on correctly... the intake was pretty straight forward.








Engine bay with the stock airbox taken out.


A tight fit, with having to modify the battery tray to get the intake in.. but got it in the end.



PS. I also have a Progress Rear Anti-Sway Bar... which does not fit even if it was tried using different angles. Guess there's some variation between the JDM model and EDM.
Fitting in reverse is alsno not possible as the bar hits the spare wheel well.

Hi mate,
I see you have the Ultraracing rear sway bar. Is the correct part number UR-AR16-139?
