Greetings All!
This is my first post on the forum so I'd like to give a brief over view:I've been reading the forums for quite a while now and Im quite impressed with the wealth of knowledge and characters on here. I've noticed that the members are predominantly from the USA, which is great, but what about the rest of the world? Im currently in South Africa (yes its true) and I'm driving a silver Honda Jazz Vtec, if u didnt already know the more economical i-dsi is also available here (unlike in the states). The Jazz is quite a popular car here, I notice a lot of them on the road and it seems to be selling extremely well (no surprise there).
At the moment I have just hit around 20 000km and on average i get 5.7l/100km on the highway(freeway), if Im careful I can maintain 6.0l/100km with city driving(coming off the highway obviously), its normally at 6.3l/100km with some spirited driving thrown in for good measure .
To end off my first post I'd like to ask 2 questions, are there any other members in RSA? and can aftermarket products from the states work on my Jazz/Fit aswell?

 

First of all, welcome to the forum.

Well, I'm not from the US. But I live only 6000 km from New York and about 11.000km from South Africa
I live in northern part of Norway in a town called Tromsø. That is WAY up north in Europe. Tromsø is not even on the weather map on BBC

Not many FitFreak members from Norway here.

But I know Suzi_q is from South Africa and has a realy lovely color on the car (same as mine ).

 

Well I am no too far from the states. I am in Canada It is cool how there are Fit/Jazz drivers from all over the world here.

 

Welcome to fitfreak!

Thanks for the welcomes, Canada and Norway now have my respect more than ever and thanks for telling me bout suzi_q FONIX. Joined HOCSA(Honda Owners Club of South Africa) and Im liking it as much as fitfreak.net

 

welcome to the site! I see your dream is to go FI

 

Hey Gynosis

Fancy seeing you here lol!!!!
Thanks Fonix for letting Gynosis know about me, and in turn about HOCSA, we have another member yay!!!
I have learned so much from Fitfreak, met some nice people and gotten all of my mod ideas from here as well, this is such an awesome site.

 

hi welcome to fitfreak.. i am from Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK.. as for modifications, i think most engine mods shud be compatible with your jazz/fit in RSA...

 

Thanks! and yes provided I have that much cash laying around Id like to eventually put some form of FI in. I see by your signature that you have the kraftwerks kit? Whats your personal opinion of the kit? Is the quality decent? Also I hear that economy remains relativley the same as the stock car provided your not on the boost, whats your personal experience? Any additional relevant info you think is worth mentioning would be greatly appreciated.

 

Nice to see you here aswell Suzi_q, ja Fitfreak is a real treasure chest of info and ideas!

 

much appreciated, the only issue Ive heard of with aftermarket parts is some not fitting nicely on the Auto/CVT, luckily I have the manual/stick. The US model is essentially the same car except it has a different body syle right?
