Garyman's GE6 Jazz build/progress thread

[guest3318]

Hi Garyman.

I don't know if you already decided but... Spec R definitely if you ask me. I had Calibre Eclipse, found mint Sprint wheels SW96 15" - PERFECT!
So Spec R would be my choice of wheels.

BTW! Nice mods bro! Keep up the good work!

[Garyman]

erm.... I got a set of 15" Enkei NT03 in the end as per post #35 since Mar'11 lol

I ran some 17" Oz Superleggeras for 2 months before swapping back to the Enkei as the Oz affected the MPG too much for my liking

Keep up man! I do with your build 

[Garyman]

Insurance renewed- sticking with Admiral as we have multicar policy- ended up being £280 with all mods declared which was the cheapest I could find

[Garyman]

New wheels



Any guesses what they are?  :bigsmile:

Oh and this arrived yesterday

[Garyman]

5th service and 3rd MOT carried out by my local honda dealer completed yesterday- happy to state that it flew past with no problems whatsoever 

As above, while they had the car, i asked them to install the Cusco rear arb

Not the best pics but should get an idea









Had the 5 year service plan when i first got the car so all i had to pay was £35 for the MOT- they didnt charge me for fitting the ARB which was very nice of them!

That's lovely mate, nice wheels too! You thought about getting the back windows tinted?

Na- I'm not into tinting windows- although i would had preferred to get the privacy glass available on the EX models.

I do have the official Honda sun shades/ blinds for the rear of the car but havent installed them yet- had them (the blinds) for over 2 years now

Garryman,
Excuse my ignorance, but what does an Electronic Throttle Controller do?

[Garyman]

It's exactly what is says on the tin.

It controls the throttle responsiveness.

Have you driven a CRZ before? That has a Eco and Sports button which changes the responsiveness of the throttle/ gas pedal.

In SP/Sport mode, the throttle is more responsive in that a little squeeze of the pedal gives immediate response to the engine ; conversely, EC/Eco mode makes it less responsive and gives a more economical drive.

Hope this helps

Gary

Thanks for the explanation.

On closer inspection of your photo I see there are 3 modes: Eco, Sport & Normal.  I knew the throttle was drive by wire and now I understand the ETC can change how the throttle responds to changes in gas pedal movement.

Cheers for an excellent and highly detailed thread Garryman - so much so I have signed up to the forum!

You have provided me a lot of inspiration and eagerness to start my own modification journey. I pick up my Jazz in the next 2 weeks and looking forward to starting to mod away!!
