Hi FitFreaks, I am from South Africa.

My first Honda I own is the Honda Ballade/ City GM6 which shares the same engine as some GK5 Honda Jazz/Fit variants. It's the L15Z1. I hope that you will accept me based on this that we share one common, but important part and that is the heart of the vehicle.

I am here purely for the development of the engine itself and also share the same love for the Honda Fit/ Jazz. If I had more cash, I'd definitely buy a GK5 as well!

Looking forward to a good relationship with the people of this forum and beyond! Cheers!

 

Welcome to the forum. LOTS of info is available, and as we say around here: show us pictures of your car!

 

Welcome!

 

Hey peeps I've made a long post with pictures yesterday but it's pending moderator approval.

 

So let's try this again...

What I have is a 2014 Honda Ballade (better known as a Honda City/ Grace) GM6. It if fitted with the L15Z1 SOHC i-VTEC engine. 88kW and 145Nm @ 6600rpm.

The mods so far:

Aero:
Front bumper trims
Rear bumper trims
Side door trims
Mudflaps
Sports type grille
Ducktail boot spoiler

Engine:
KN flatbed filter

Stability:
Ultra Racing rear strut brace
Ultra Racing middle under brace (to be fitted)
Ultra Racing front strut brace (to be fitted)

Wheels:
17" Lenso Project D Spec F (to be fitted, just saving up on money for tyres)

Future mod is going to be a custom short ram induction, and also a custom front under splitter.

 

These are the wheels.

 

Looks good! I'd like to find a set of those stock wheels in the USA!

 

And here I'm struggling to sell my OEM wheels! I'm going to keep the car, possible K series swap later but we see.

Thanks for the compliment!

 

Hey peeps,

Been a long time since I posted here. I hope I don't break any norms here... I share the same chassis as the GK5 so I figured I'd find a home so ling as the engines are also the same.

So I finally fitted my wheels, they look great on the car, and my coilovers have arrived. I just need to fit them. Please not that these coilovers will also work on the GK5 Honda Fit.

 

cool looking wheels. should look real cool with some lowering with your coils. might be able to fit a 10mm spacer on the rear after lowering.

u going to install urself or have a shop do it?

 

I'll see how it looks if I need a spacer once the car is lowered. I will be installing myself. Thanks for the reply

 

GL on the install!

support the front knuckle to prevent the cv joint from coming apart when dropping front struts.

 

Hi Kenchan, thanks and noted!
