Hello from the UK!

Hi guys, my name is Floyd, I'm 18, and I drive this:




It's a 2009 Honda "Jazz" 1.4 I-vtec ES 5Dr. And I love it!

It's the first car I have 'owned', and I must say, as soon as I can afford my own car, this is what I'm going to get. When I say "my own car" - I share the car with my mother, on a motability scheme. I was very lucky to get this car!

I heard about these forums through Fatlace, or Hellaflush to be more precise. I was looking at the Hawaii pictures and noticed a sick looking black Fit on green wheels. It looks awesome! I'm guessing the owner is a member on here.

But yeah, this is just a little introduction thread, so hi there!

Floyd

Thanks!

I'm not that close to your friend unfortunately, I'm more south-west based.

She went in for a service today too, the replacement Jazz I got made me realise how playing music so loud has damaged the standard sound system, and the clutch wasn't worn in at all! I was hoping for a Type-R, oh well, like-for-like is no fun though hehe!

Cool deal. Type-R would have been CRAZY COOL!

Do you have any pictures of the rear of the Fit? just curious.

Thanks! Yeah, I do have some pictures of the back, here's one:



I gave her a clean on saturday, and one on tuesday too, unfortunately she has a few scratches, but as soon as I can afford my own, I plan on lots of (very expensive) modifcations... it's just a few years away though yet!

I love that little i-Vtec sticker on the rear glass. I love this color. What is the color and color code on the car?

"Cerulean Blue Metallic"

When we first got the car, it was a toss up between this, or Helios Yellow Pearl. Let me say, the colour has grown on me! In the UK, most Jazz/Fit drivers are old, so it's nice to make a change. I wouldn't mind a combination of both colours really, it would make a nice metallic/pearl Spoon replica! :P

I don't know the colour code I'm afraid, I've checked on the internet too, and couldn't find anything.. but I know somebody who works in a Honda dealership, and have asked him to look it up for me!

Should just open the drivers side door, and look at the badge with vehicle info on it adn there will be the color code at the bottom of the sticker in the middle

I can't do anything to this one, but when I can afford my own, which will be in a few years time, I'm going to have one as a daily driver project. Black, Weds Kranze LXZ wheels, super offset, Noblesse kit, 8th gen. Civic Type-R engine and underbody.

Basically an 8th. Gen Civic Type-R with a Jazz/Fit shell. VIP looking, but aiming for 300-350hp, still FWD.

I know it's aiming high, but that is what I like to do, and at least I have a plan from beginning to end!

Ohh, and whether it's a Jazz or Fit, I'm going to get both badges and swap the vowels round, I'll let you work that one out for yourself!

It'll be a GE if all plans go well. I'm working on a Photoshop at the moment, I just want a badass looking car really, and making it go fast is an added bonus :P

Nope, and don't want to! I know for a fact that it will cost me at least 30K (GBP) and I don't care, it will be worth it! Haha
