Updated with 17" Oz Superleggeras 4 x 100 ET37 with Eagle F1 205/45/17

i feel the look is what I'm trying to achieve but the mpg has suffered drastically!!

Going to run with these for the time being - maybe til Spring/ early summer but most likely go back to the 15" NT03 and sell on the Oz

 

How drastically did the 17's effect the mpg? Im ruunign 15's on mine and getting 48mpg. Going to be switching to 16's soon and now im a tad worried about doing it.

 

TBH- its probably the way I drive

With the 15" NT03- I was getting 42-44mpg ave

With the current 17" Oz Superleggeras- I'm getting 36-38mpg

HTH

 

haha, i've not really trashed the crap out of mine......just used it for going back and forth.

Hmmm. well i'll just have to see what happens and if it suffers i'll switch back.

 

I guess it also depends on the make of the alloy as well.

Some aftermarket wheels are actually lighter than OEM- even though you've gone up an inch or so

 

Well im running some 5th gen civic fat fives with a fairly bulky tyre.

I've got some old slipstreams that im putting on, they are usually around 5kg without tyres.....so i guess it may even out. They are slightly wider though, we'll see.

 

Havent updated my thread on here so heres a couple of changes I made

Trying to work out how to access the rear one so if anyone can help- that would be great

 

So I met up with a "local" (ie based in the UK) member (remould) who also modded his GD1 at a local track day (Croft) we went to and heres some of my pics

Very nice man.
Do you have a honda jazz club in UK??

 

Yes, the one in the uk is called Clubjazz.

 

Looks like I havent updated for a while but some small updated

So......

Since I had the Buddyclub short shifter installed, I havent been able to use the locking nut to position the DC2 gear knob properly.

Over the past couple of weeks, I have been able to tighten the knob so it now sit straight in the the numbers are all horizontal.

However, I managed to get my hands on the following:

Before (DC2 gear knob- notice how much of the thread of the shifter you can see)



After



Spoon Titanium gear knob 8)

I had one on my EP3 which I should have kept (along with a whole load of mods but I dont want to go there as I still feel a bit miffed lol)

Anyways, for some bizzare reason, I can actually feel the short shifting a lot better now with the Spoon knob but as you may gather from the pics, its slightly lower down which feels a bit weird for me atm but I'm sure I'll get use to it.

Spoon shorty antenna so I dont hit my OEM antenna whenever I open the boot

Before (boot down)



After



Before (boot up)

Wow man. I disappear from Fit Freak for two years and I come back and I see your GE6 is meaner and slicker than ever. Nice job Gary! Go rep the 1.3L Jazzes and Fits.

Looks like you had a lot of fun at Croft too! How did the Recaros do there? Cheers good man!

 

HAHA! Thanks Type100

I think thats about it for me in terms of mods- I had been looking at getting the 69 K&N filter but I'm not sure if it would foul my J's strut bar plus money is getting tight with the arrival of the 2nd one in Jan'13

I had an AMAZING time at Croft- hopefully get to do that every year and maybe a few other track days but will see how things go. The other guys on the track was quite surprised how well both Jazzes did and was pretty cool being about to keep up with the more powerful cars in the corners etc, but naturally had no chance on straights.

The recaros were world apart on track and the other Jazz owner said he had to get some buckets in his as he was getting thrown all over whilst out on track lol

 

Also, not sure if I'm not getting much exposure of my thread here- so maybe should move it to the Fit Photo section

 

Nice Jazz Gary.

short question, on which side does your UK Jazz has the rear foglight?

 

Thanks

I think its on the right side

 

New wheels



Any guesses what they are? :bigsmile:

Oh and this arrived yesterday

 

where are you getting ur parts from can find anyone who ships to the UK ?

and nice jazz btw man nice to see more people modding them in the here for once
