MJW - Aus Spec GD3

Hi all.

Signing in from Queensland, Australia.



Current owner of a '07 Honda Jazz (Fit) VTi-S.
  • Nighthawk Black
  • L15A VTEC
  • 5 speed manual


Previously owned a '07 Toyota Aurion SX6, which had to go once I moved back to the city, as it's not the most economic vehicle around town. I miss the outright power (200kw v 81 kw), however I'm getting used to using half the fuel



So far, I have ditched the factory head unit and replaced it with a double din Clarion unit using the JDM fascia conversion. Also debadged the rear 'Jazz' badge, swapped gearknob for 5spd Mugen unit and chucked on a 'Spoon' fluid sock

Plan to grab a set of RPF1's, upgrade suspension and install a set of Recaro SR3's. That's about it, possibly swap the standard front bumper. Not sure whether I like it or not!

Overall, the combination of good handling, decent performance, ease of parking/maneuvering and overall fun factor have won me over at this stage!

P.S. Absolutely loving some of the Fit's on here

Cheers!

Bought a set of DC2R Recaro SR3's - black w/ red stitching. Bride seat rails are in the mail. Noticed the DIY guide on here for installation. Should make a nice difference.
