Hi fellow petrol heads. New to here so, just a quick polite message to say "hello!" I'm based in Lamphun, Northern Thailand and drive a rally modified gd3 (2 x photos at present...but will upload a whole lot more...SOON! Feel free to ask any questions about the designs I've have especially made by a local engineering company. The project still has a way to go yet...but as you can see, it's working nicely and the car probably turns more heads than 90% of the shyte here on THAI ROADS!!! ha haaa!!

Catch up soon no doubt...Laters, JIM KELLY

 

Welcome, Jim!

 

Welcome to the forums, Jim. We look forward to your contributions.

 

Cheers. Nice to be here among friends.

 

I've added some more photos... rear WRC Jazz diffuser, alloy foot rests, Light pod etc. If anyone wants to find out more about their construction and how to get your hands on any of these bits of kit, drop me a message here. These items are all bespoke built specially to fit the Jazz GD3, influenced by existing WRC designs. You can't get this stuff on Lazada, Amazon or Ebay! This is why I had to resort to the drawing board (literally) and then get an engineering company to finalize and construct the pieces. I have a "wicked" alloy rear wing on the way for the car!!!! Sooonnnnn...awaiting final construction.

 

Welcome Jim!

I too just joined.

 

Hi bro... its interesting to see soooooo many subscribers there in the USA!

 

Thailand seems to be the place for everything Fit. Maybe Jim can send me a Modulo wing

 

Hi... the wide WRC arch/ wheel vents I designed MYSELF, based on the Hyundai i20 WRC style (cardboard templates!!!).

The flat arch extension is made from 2mm alloy, covered in black carbon fiber-look vinyl and curves round to meet the "alloy air vent" box section which is separate and screwed onto the existing front wing. I then used black silicone filler to fill in any gaps and used plastic edging trim to make the alloy edges neater and 'safer'! Further embellishments include the small side canards and aerofoils to complete the WRC look. It's all a bit "involved" and took a couple of days to achieve the fit and look I wanted.
If (??) I did it again (and, I will...because the rear aches need to be done!!!), I would "curve" the components in order to achieve a tighter, neater fit without having to back-fill with black silicone. I would also reduce the thickness to 1.5mm alloy sheet...lighter and more flexible around bends.
None of these components are readily available here or, anywhere else for that matter...totally bespoke build! I'm sure a rally centre would fabricate this stuff but....at a cost way in excess of what I have spent!!!

 

The Modulo Rear wing is available here in Thailand via the LAZADA.th online shopping platform.... Approx. 1800-2000 Thai Baht + shipping costs. There are several styles depending on the model year code.

 

Thanks, man! 👍
