Hiya guys, my name is Rhys and I'm from Chelmsford in Essex.
My partner and I recently bought a 2013 Jazz Si, we came from a Honda CR-Z which we loved but unfortunately it wasn't very practical so I managed to convince my other half to sell the CR-Z, buy an S2000 as a weekend toy/project and buy a Jazz as a daily driver. My partner uses the Jazz to commute to work and fortunately for me I can cycle in.
The idea was to keep the Jazz standard and really concentrate on 'restoring' the S2000, nothing major, just keep her healthy and prolong her life as I aim to keep her for a very long time.
I've used forums in the past and quite often actually for inspiration and to find out useful information, but would really like to document my progress on the new projects.
Hopefully I can get these images to work - it's been a while!
Our CR-Z
This was my inspiration...
Here's my S2k
Some boxes of the best type of deliveries
First thing was some wind deflectors and I really liked the OEM ones so...
Then the head unit I had in my CR-Z went in...
I had a GE8 Manifold on the CR-Z which fits the Jazz, it has slightly bigger internals and should make the car breathe a bit better, so here's the joys of adding this - god the engine bay has no space to work!
Air box and battery all had to come out just to get easier access...
The two side by side...
Finishes project...
Then I got a reverse camera which fits in place of the number plate light unit and began trying to run the wiring to the rear light - what a ball ache! Because number plate is on the tailgate running the wires was super tricky, in the past all my cars had the number plate located on the bumpers making life a bit easier...
I've yet to finish the reverse camera install, I just need to tap into the reverse light wire (if anyone knows which one it is that would be helpful!) and then run the video camera wire to the unit and hopefully it should work - a job for the weekend.
Other mods so far:- Armster armrest
- Lowered by 35mm on springs from demontweaks - some German brand.
- K&N drop in panel filter - already on the car
- Day light running lights on the front bumper - already on the car
- Philips LED side lights and Osram Nightbreakers dipped beam
I will update as I go! but not planning on too much more (he says..)
I still have some stuff to go on, front lip, rear spoiler and hopefully some new wheels! (Si wheels will go up for sale if anyone is interested).
