Chris_Music - 2005 Jazz Sport in Vivid Blue Pearl
« on: March 06, 2011, 11:35:25 PM »
Hey Guys

I finally got the Jazz I was after

Its a 2005 Honda Jazz Sport in Vivid Blue Pearl.

It has done 90k and the paint wasn't in particularly great condition when I got it. But 2 days, 2 coats of wax and a lot of touch up paint later, she's looking much much better :D! I am very pleased with my purchase!























I dont really have many plans for it. I have already installed an Xcarlink iPod adaptor I had left over from my Accord. And I will probably get a decent gear gaiter and a Type R gear knob, possibly some Mugen Pedals, maybe some wind deflectors if a set comes up, and then leave it at that, as the sport is pretty much great looking already.


Chris

I would add the rear spoiler as it finishes the 'sporty' look perfectly.

They Do look nice, but they cost over £200 from Honda, and I cant justify the cost!

Edit, just got a quote from Honda for £294 inc Vat for one (painted) :o!

Very nice.

I notice you have no i-DSi nameplate on the engine cover - mine's also dropped off at some point!

Cheers mate

Yea, I ordered one today while I was at Honda having a free checkup, cost me £7 inc Vat.

I dunno how it could have come off!

Got my i-DSI Badge from Honda today.
Its actually a metal sticker, so I can understand how they come off after time.
Lets hope this one doesn't come off, at £7 a time :P!

Small update

Had 2 packages come in the post today :D!

My Type R style gearknob from Funky Power and a blue stitch leather gear gaiter:


The Old Gear knob and Gaiter:


Fitting the new gear gaiter:



Gear Knob and Gaiter fitted



It has red numbers on the top, but for some reason, I couldn't get them to come out in the picture!
When I get some time, I will spray the black nut on the gear knob silver, Or I will see If I have a silver nut lying around!

More updates to follow soon!

Hopefully I will have the car pretty much finished by next month!

One of the things I really liked about the sport (apart from the bodykit) was the 15" wheels, which I feel work perfectly with the standard ride height!

But I would love a set of white 16" Buddyclub P1 SF's, but then I would have to lower it for it to not look odd. I don't plan on spending a lot of money on this car (I made that mistake with my old Civic). I managed to knock £300 off the asking price of the car when I bought it, So I have set my budget for Mods at £300, which should allow me to do everything I want to do to the Jazz :)!

Another Small Update!

Got another goody in the post today!

A set of Mugen Pedals:






I am bit annoyed with the seller on eBay, as it was marked as a brand new set of Mugen Pedals, but they are clearly used and have just been repackaged! But, for £20 delivered, I cant really complain I guess! But I have sent him an email anyway. Hopefully he will give me some money off :P!



Anyway, heres them fitted:

Old:


Mugen:



I have to say, I really miss having them in a car, I loved them when I had my Civic. Because I have bigger feet, its great having bigger pedals, It feels better when driving!



The spoiler is currently being made and should be here next week, and my Wind deflectors are just leaving china, The arm rest is still in China, as far as I know, and My K&N filter is on its way from a UK seller!


So more updates to follow soon :)!

I have ordered the optional extra spoiler for the Jazz (replica of course).
And the wind deflectors are Mugen Replicas, ordered them from here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250649176944&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_2680wt_1141

Which model Jazz did you get in the end?

I have a tracking number for it and its still in China, but its in a major city, so it should be leaving the country soon I hope! I would imagine it would be here probably the end of next week!

The yellow ones look nice, I was thinking about getting one, but I thought the colour was a bit too striking for my liking, and wanted a blue one instead! I look forward to seeing what you do with it! I saw a nice one with white buddyclubs on it on fitfreaks!
