Hey You! Come Look at my Yazz's Build Thread

[Blue8g]

I have finally acquired a Yazz. Behold its awesomeness.

Yes its 99.9999999999999999999999% stock right now. Yes I also hate pics of stock Fits. But, this thread will be rad.

Follow me down this lovely yellow brick road and watch the growth of a Yazz from a lowly caterpillar to a beautiful Narwhal.

Pics:

My only mod:

ARC Magic Shift Pattern Plate, I was able to purchase this only week prior to ARC's doors closing. Felt good man.

NOTE: I copy pasta'd this from a Fit Forum

[Galantman03]

looks good man, I helped a buddy of mine turbo his fit, those things have alot of potential, we hit 140 mph in no time with 8 psi

[Blue8g]

Thanks!

Turbo Fit = Fap.

I'd love to go K20 in mine, but for now I'm sticking to suspension/wheels/aesthetics as I enjoy reliability and ∞ mpg

[wetamup2k3g]

Not a fan of the Fit, but I'm interested to see what will happen here. Congrats on getting a clean ride, Cody! LOL @ infinity mpg!

[Blue8g]

^Thanks dude. I was looking for a Sport (front lip, rear spoiler, sideskirts, cruise, better stereo) but then I found this for about 3k under market value with low miles and a manual trans and I was like:

Well I'm going to replace the sideskirts/lip/spoiler anyway and I don't care about cruise or stereo.

So I hopped on it!

[wetamup2k3g]

Good deal, I keep hearing used cars are commanding a bit of a premium right now, so either it's a new car or you got one hell of a deal!

[Blue8g]

^Lucky deal lol. 08 w/ 50k miles

[E_Emerson88]

I thought you wanted an 86 Corolla

[RedGalant2k1]

Should be interesting...

[XxGiRLaNT06xX]

Hey you! I'm checking out your thread! lol Good luck with it Cody. Can't wait for the modded version :)

[Blue8g]

I thought you wanted an 86 Corolla

I do. But Reliability > RWD awesomeness right now.


Should be interesting...

Hopefully.


Hey you! I'm checking out your thread! lol Good luck with it Cody. Can't wait for the modded version :)

[G-spot]

You should jazz up the Yazz so you can jizz up to the Yizz :)

[Blue8g]

I like this jizzing scheme.

[Skyforger]

Interested to see where this goes.

And K20 swapped Fits make me jelly.

[oakrdrs187]

Now I know you aren't the biggest fan of British cars and not to throw your build thread off-topic but would you ever buy a MINI?

Seen one on craigslist and the first thing popped in my head was "blue8g", don't know why.

I'll see if my friend would like to donate, after all it's for a cause right? Pictures taken at this years Eibach meet I helped him set-up for.

[wetamup2k3g]

My coworker has an '06 Cooper S, it's a pile of shit if you ask me. In 70,000 miles, it has had all kinds of problems, including having the rear main seal leak like a sieve, random non-starts, a perpetual SRS light, rusted out exhaust and brakes that require frequent changing (although he drives EVERYWHERE fast, including parking lots and speed-hump littered roads). I'd never own one.

[Skyforger]

I've heard horror stories about the first year Mini's. The newer ones seem to be more reliable, I know two people with Mini Cooper S models, one auto, one six speed, and they both love them. Granted, these are the turbo models, different from the supercharged ones.

I've gotten to drive them as well...reliability issues aside, those buggers are fun as hell to drive, and surprisingly quick.

Wait, wait, wait.

I'm not a fan of Brit cars? Whoa there.

If I had a better job and no college to pay for...I'd have a gararge full of Brit cars. I LOVE THEM. Jags, Astons, Bentley, Mini, Range/Land Rover.

Fap fap fap

And good god that's a crazy bay.

[oakrdrs187]

Wouldnt we all.

That K is boosting over 40 lbs.

[Blue8g]

Good god.

A guy on FitFreak.net is running 8 lbs of boost on his K20A and making 333 whp on a base tune :O

I had an R32 like that (not the VW) blow my doors off the other day, he was going too fast for me to snap a pic though. That things was sexy.

[mrg7243]

I am sorry but that fit's rear fitment is awefull, fronts is perfect but no to the rear

I hate that Fit's exterior; BUT OMG THAT BAY

DAMN! That that holy snap.... I have seen the bay in person stock, and that looks HOT! not much room though...............
The only thing I don't like about the fit is the clutch brake and gas is all by wire... i can deal with the brake and gas, but I CANNOT deal with an electric clutch, there is no feel, and I can't drive it worth S**T

[dknight3]

i would hate to work in an engine bay that small..

[Galantman03]

^dude its dumb, like the g you have to walk to the other side to reach something, not the fit man, I can stand in the center, and I can reach around with my hands and touch both front tires at the same time lol its redicuilous

I actually really like how the clutch feels. I mean compared to a lot of the cars I've driven, the clutch is much better.


i would hate to work in an engine bay that small..

Consider the engine size too. The L15 is a TINY engine.

[oakrdrs187]

I can see 333whp very possible, especially since the same friend I went to Eibach Meet with took his EG that we freshly built for a straight month before the show, I mean final touches to the car were finished at about 6:30am day of. K20Z1 with Type-R cams boosting 17 lbs produce a whopping 509 at the wheels on pump gas. I will have to go over to his shop and take a picture of his custom turbo kit. Everything built from scratch.

He took me for a spin and gave me three gears around the block, OMFG. I needed to puke (literally), I was lightheaded and my guts were still in my rib cage after 10 mins from the last pull.

Cody I can tell this is gonna be a very tasteful car given the right amount of time... As I ask myself what could be going on in that brain of yours? Suspension...Wheels...Take over the world...Performance bolt-ons.

[beam514]

that engine bay = teh sex

LOL. It will soon be seen.

[oakrdrs187]

Pardon me for digging out info ahead of time, but will the Fit remain black in color?

[Blue8g]

For a couple years yes.

Once/if I can ever afford to do complete color change (bay, interior, everything) I will change it.

[98mgalant]

I like this Cody. I hope you keep this one long enough for me to fap fap fap wildly like a mad man. I was actually looking at Fits on CL today.

[qnz]

i like the Honda Jizz. Great for daily driving in the city

[oakrdrs187]

Ever since this thread was made, either I see them more or they were there and didn't notice.

For a car about the size of an Aveo or versa the Fit is far more stylish.

[Blue8g]

LOL. Buy one d00d. So much fun and crazy cheap to own. My twin (long story) has had a Fit since 06 and has done zero extra maintenance, its megadumped yet super reliable.

And I will have it until the loan is paid off. At minimum.

Heck yes.

lol, that happened when I had my Si, I still rarely see GD3's. And my car is actually kind of rare, iirc only like 20 or 30% of Fits were base models. And only a portion of those were 5 MT. And this body style Fit was only available in 07/08 in the US.

[RedGalant2k1]

The only somewhat stylish Honda ever built. The rest are about as boring as staring at a blank white wall for days.

[Blue8g]

^Hey! S2000 and NSX = FAP

[RedGalant2k1]

^Hey! S2000 and NSX = FAP

The S2k is incredibly boringly styled. The instrument cluster makes me want to vomit. Even the NSX is rather bland. It isn't really stylish, it is well proportioned, and is of course the only Exotic level Honda ever built. As such the NSX gets a pass, but only for that reason.

[Blue8g]

:(

I find the NSX stylish in its timelessness. Even today it still looks good, just as it did in 1991. While not flamboyant, it works. (at least for me)

Meh, I like the S2K's minimalist exterior design, not fond of its interior though. Never was crazy about the looks of the NSX either, but seeing one does grab your attention.

[oakrdrs187]

Never was crazy about the looks of the NSX either, but seeing one does grab your attention.

And that's exactly what separates it from the rest. Simple yet attractive.

[RedGalant2k1]

:(

Oh Jo, the NSX is a great car. It is beautifully proportioned, has staggered size wheels 16s/17s. Mid-mounted engine like many high end exotics. Later models became more stylish (2000+ TypeR), but still subtle. But perhaps its biggest benefit is that the interior doesn't look like it was stuck in the age of Knight Rider (which was fitting style for a early 80s Firebird). The S2k is acceptable on the exterior, and when kept to a minimum it can look great. But its interior REALLY kills it.

[oakrdrs187]

Any Updates Cody? Been a while.

[Blue8g]

Nothing at all. Almost bought an ARC Magic shift knob, but he pm'd me that it sold locally right after I put the money into my paypal :Fuuuuu:

I see you guys didn't get the little trick I pulled

[beam514]

sneaky you...

and why are rear bumper guards $50 for a piece of vinyl???

oh and.. nice wheels lol

[greddy]

Nice wheels cody

[99 galant]

i was hoping they weren't the design on the box

[Blue8g]

Nice wheels cody

Thanks dude


i was hoping they weren't the design on the box

I like those (Super Advans/SA3R) but IMO they are only cool in big boy sizing (17/18x 9-10 min)

[wetamup2k3g]

I see you guys didn't get the little trick I pulled

<----kinda slow on the draw today
Nice wheels, but they is has one too few lug nuts holes y0 lol j/k

[Skyforger]

Less box.

Moar wheel.

[Blue8g]

Click box.

[Skyforger]

FFFFFFFFFFFF-

Sneaky bastard. I like teh wheels.

[Blue8g]

Thanks d00d

My favorite part of the wheel is the center cap, so much detail

http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h419/mike410b/321616_1949263407449_1118499698_31615145_5577347_n .jpg

[OMEGA PHX]

Those are really nice, I like

[dknight3]

those are nice wheels
17's?

[oakrdrs187]

Nice wheels indeed, but what about the deals you said you found on the 2 pair volk's?

[Blue8g]

those are nice wheels
17's?

15x7


Nice wheels indeed, but what about the deals you said you found on the 2 pair volk's?

Eh, I'm going to keep these. I've decided I'd rather have the perfect sizing from these, than the cooler design from them, plus they're only my second favorite Honda wheel. I will only get my favorite from now on.

[XxGiRLaNT06xX]

Very nice wheels!

[Blue8g]

sneaky you...

and why are rear bumper guards $50 for a piece of vinyl???

oh and.. nice wheels lol

What bumper guard? Mine was free, I refer to it as: Not using the trunk lol

[oakrdrs187]

Is that a hint of pearl on them??
Looks great.

[Blue8g]

^Yea, and thanks

[99 galant]

good choice man, hate the trick! haha

[Blue8g]

lolz, every update will be like that

Warning

[99 galant]

^ thanks for the warning lol, i'll be prepared

[wetamup2k3g]

Meh, that's no fun, shouldn't have told us, let us figure it out ourselves lol!

[Blue8g]

lol, after wheels nothing makes as big of a difference aesthetically

[underated]

those wheels are sweet what size tires are you going to run?

[Blue8g]

195/50/15

Closest to stock (Base model) sizing.

[Blue8g]

[wetamup2k3g]

Awesomeness! Next week (I promise this time) for me!

[Blue8g]

Haha nice!

Mine won't be going on until May though :(

[wetamup2k3g]

Summer tire I take it?

[Blue8g]

Yeah, not anything hugely grippy but a huge improvement on anything else I've ever had.

Future project car will have much better tyres, but this is just a daily

[oakrdrs187]

Actually those are plenty grippy for the Fit. And excellent tires for the money.

[Blue8g]

Oh I completely agree its more than good enough for the Fit, but compared to what a purely fun car will have they greasy

[Galantman03]

wheres the rims at? lol I wanna see this thing boosted and slammed. btw is your clutch electronic?

[Blue8g]

Click the pic of the box for pics of the wheels haha

No boost or slamming for this. Building it to be the epitome of fun DD (IMO of course) and once finished I'll move onto a more in-depth project.

What do you mean electric clutch?

[Galantman03]

oh duh lol I knew that. Nice wheels!

Well my buddys clutch has no feel to it at all, its like pushing the brake pedal, nothing there. its hard to explain. ok your pedal isn't actualy pushing fluid or linkage, its sending a signal to the soleniod to disengage the clutch

[Blue8g]

Yeah its not nearly as nice as the clutch feel in my old Si, but nothing competes with a nice cable clutch IMO.

Also, new stickar

They have that, a clutch-by-wire, in a car? What kind of car is that? How do you feel for the engagement point? That seems very unfun. Just like my parents' drive-by-wire in their Ford, you feel nothing at all, it's weird.

Honda actually puts electric power steering and drive by wire in the Fit, new Civics, etc.

It really is quite good.

An update for once. This update isn't everything I've bought, some stuff is in transit, some stuff I'm waiting for the seller to get a shipping quote so I can send him the exact amount, etc. More in the coming weeks.

I saw somewhere that skunk2 buys from eibach...true??

[Blue8g]

Probably not. Junk2 is trash.

My guess is the appearance of the springs is an attempt to make people think that, but in reality they're cheap China springs.

[98mgalant]

My guess is the appearance of the springs is an attempt to make people think that, but in reality they're cheap China springs.

If you really feel ya way why do you want them on your car? I mean I have D2s and you've bashed D2s before so why buy cheap stuff for your car? Just curious.lol

[Blue8g]

If you really feel ya way why do you want them on your car? I mean I have D2s and you've bashed D2s before so why buy cheap stuff for your car? Just curious.lol

All lowering springs are trash IMO. That's why.

However I have zero desire to kill any of my comfort with coilovers. Thus, I got something cheap so if I decide to go back to stock I can sell for what I paid (or more).

[98mgalant]

Yeah I can understand that. But honestly I like the ride of coilovers better than stock. But that's just me.

[Blue8g]

That's what you think until you have the coilovers I've had, or until you get a car with fresh stock stuff.

[oakrdrs187]

Ride comfort

Lowering springs > coilovers anyday.

[Skyforger]

For a DD, you're better off with just springs.

[Blue8g]

I know that.

That's why I bought them...

[XxGiRLaNT06xX]

The coil overs on the m3 killed me. The ride was disgusting


* Sent from my iPhone 4S using Tapatalk <3 *

[mrg7243]

For a DD, you're better off with just springs.

For me I prefer coilovers over lowering springs for DDing. I have ridden in both, though i prefer a stiffer rougher ride, most people hate riding in my car because of it.:hot_topic_rsvd: But on the open highway and smooth roads its not noticeable:069:.

[99 galant]

Yeah... TMI! :orangelaugh:

Once again:

16k/14k.

^^ Nice. I'm guessing your gonna want to keep some ride comfort eh...

[Blue8g]

Not sure yet.

I'm debating if I want to use these or not. I most likely won't lol

[mrg7243]

That is quit as hell, shit my galant is wayyy louder

Sounds good

Just fine, won't attract cops:023:. TBH if you told me it was stock i'd believe you.

[wetamup2k3g]

Sounds real good, just how I would want mine.

[Blue8g]

Thanks all! I still think I may have to go with J's header/Spoon b-pipe this winter once I finish the suspension and finish up the aero.

[Blue8g]

lol test fit:

http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee446/TahitianGreen/IMG_20120407_155738.jpg

[Rach3T8G]

Looks good! Are you waiting until you get all the parts you want for the fit before you install them?

[Blue8g]

Well, kind of? I didn't want to do it this way, but the way finances/deals came out, things happened/will happen like this:

Bought wheels in August
Tyres in October/November
Aero in February

All of this will go on the car after I'm done with school for the summer.

This summer I'll be placing an order for some PROPER suspension and that will go on when it gets here.

So the car will look silly with stock height and mega aggressive aero, but w/e.

BTW: Once the suspension is installed, the car is DONE until May 2014.

[IVORY_G]

Hurry up and install! lol

[DTP]

Hurry up and install! lol

I agree! This will turn out interesting. What would you like it to be in the end?

[Blue8g]

No hurry to install, the less attention I attract to my car while at school the better.

And what do you mean?

[Redhaze]

Nice build

[suad618]

i cant wait to see how all this looks on your honda tit

Lol @ "Honda Tit"!

[Blue8g]

I have a serious hatred for that Fit. Rep BBS RS', Air ride, ugly Mugen kit, etc.

[johnygezony]

I like the rear end at least!

[deeznutz]

I have a serious hatred for that Fit. Rep BBS RS', Air ride, ugly Mugen kit, etc.

I actually like it but the spacing behind the tire compared to in front of it looks fucked up

[IVORY_G]

I have a serious hatred for that Fit. Rep BBS RS', Air ride, ugly Mugen kit, etc.

Looks good to a wheel noob like me! Lol!
Why you no like air ride???

[Blue8g]

Its cheating. I just can't respect someone who drives their car at a height that looks like ass only to drop it down low for pics.

[suad618]

i agree there blue8g i would have more respect if the car was like that all the time

but besides that that honda tit looks nice

[IVORY_G]

Its cheating. I just can't respect someone who drives their car at a height that looks like ass only to drop it down low for pics.

What if it was on AirRunner suspension at a nice lowered height, then dumped when parked???

[Blue8g]

No static no props, from me at least.

Just like I don't respect this car for removing the bumper before and after the show:

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7200/6912915036_71ab611b8b_b.jpg

[IVORY_G]

LOL! So you rather see him fukk it up on the driveway and waste money going to the bodyshop every month? If I had a show car like that I'd prob do the same thing. No one else is gonna pay to fix it for me lol!

[suad618]

x2

[Blue8g]

If that was a showcar it'd have real BN aero lol

[oakrdrs187]

Plenty of cars need to have the bumper off prior to a show, this car is part show all go. With the FG bumper it will not go on the trailer, so (7) 10mm's hold it up. But per rules of the class my the driver is in he has to have a bumper.

Me pushing in back (Making one stupid face! LOL!)
http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy281/oakrdrs187/Pushing.jpg


Getting pushed at Eibach 2011, cops were impounding cars that were too loud, other wise this beast would have been self propelled.

The show part.
http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa472/vipergtsr96/RaceCar.jpg

[Blue8g]

That car was driven there and isn't a track car doe (the S13).



If you don't drive the car at that height, with your stuff on, IMO you shouldn't show at that height. Just lame IMO.

[oakrdrs187]

You make a good point.

[IVORY_G]

I still say track car or not, if I know theres no way I will make it into a driveway without ripping off or destructing my bumper, Im either not going in that way or Im taking it off.

[Blue8g]

Today = Best car day in a long time.

Took the car out on some curvy backroads and finally got to stretch the L15's legs lololol.

25mph corners at 65 mph @ a steady 6300 rpm in 3rd gear + Spoon N1 = FUN

[mrg7243]

Cody why you no have facebook anymore?

[Blue8g]

Cuz bauce.

[oakrdrs187]

^ Lookin good. You can't go in one wheel at a time?

Sent from my Rooted Droid X using hacked Tapatalk 2

[Blue8g]

Nope.

Its a pretty narrow entrance and quite steep, and the lip scrapes often enough anyway.

[RedGalant2k1]

Bah, if you aren't scrappin' you aren't a bauce.

[Blue8g]

Scraping a $500 lip = Stupidity.

[mrg7243]

Buying a $500 lip = stupidity hahah just busting your balls. I love it though the rear looks awkward to me

[Blue8g]

I wholly agree.

I pledged to myself that I was done modding this car.

But with the wheels/lip/grille/springs on, I need to balance out the sides/back.

Although I do still have the urge to attain RWD in one way or another.

[Guzm4n]

need moar close up pics!

Looks nice, but I agree, you need to finish the sides and rear.

[oakrdrs187]

^^ F20C swap would win.

Yes looks like you have a ton of rake. needs some skirts maybe. More aggressive in the rear stuff

[Blue8g]

I have a line on some OEM Sport sideskirts, just a bit short on funds.

No F20C swap for this.

Forever L15.

[8thLS6]

Gotta admit when I'm browsing the stance forums..if the car is on air I'm not as amused as I would be if it was static. Not to sound like my car is better than anyone elses. I just don't like the fact of knowing they can go from 4x4 to slammed with the press of a switch. And I agree on taking the bumper off. Unless its tracked or has to get on equipment (lift, trailer, dyno etc.) In fact funny short story. Few years back, friend of mine was pulling in the lot of a gas station in his s14. His s14 had aero and coils. Mine had oem front lip and springs. His bumper hung and came off. Had to hop out the car and grab it lol. I on the other hand got in smooth sailing of course. I could only imagine the confusion on lookers might have felt over 2 cars being the same, yet only one can make it in the entrance without the bumper coming off lol.

[Blue8g]

I took some pics on Monday.

I didn't edit them at all.

[johnygezony]

You sir, need tints. looks good though ;)

[Blue8g]

Tints would be alright, but I don't like dark tint.

If anything I want some bronze tint.

[E_Emerson88]

You should raise the front or lower the rear, balance it out. Looks like it's nose diving in the pictures

[wetamup2k3g]

Loving those wheels! Car looks good man, I agree on the tints.

[mrg7243]

He is on springs though

[Blue8g]

Its on springs, and it doesn't have side skirts.

[Skyforger]

Springs need time to settle anyway. When did you install them, Cody?

[Blue8g]

Saturday before last. And I got them used. They settled.

[E_Emerson88]

hmmm nvm then lol

[oakrdrs187]

Wheels look so good, almost as if designed for the little jazz.

[Blue8g]

They are a kei car wheel.

I have the biggest size offered, they range from:

14x5.5, 14x6, 15x5.5, 15x6.5 and 15x7

[Skyforger]

Didn't you have a rear spoiler for this in the works? Unless I'm confusing myself with the pics you took when you first got the front lip.

[mrg7243]

It was a mugen I think and I believe he sold it

[dronesurfboards]

Tints would be alright, but I don't like dark tint.

If anything I want some bronze tint.

you could get the 3M tint, it can be clear and still block the UV into your car.

[8thLS6]

Does it help with heat though..or just protection from fading and cracking vinyl/leather/plastic. If so thats a nice option for people who prefer no tint

[Blue8g]

The one that was in SCC a couple years back on Project Evo? I want, but isn't it expensive?

I had a Mugen spoiler.

I'm considering one that will be really love/hate, mostly hate.

[dronesurfboards]

depending on the tint installer i think it shouldnt cost more than 400 bucks at most. from what i have seen it blocks heat also. one of the guys had it on his car @ Toyotafest and his windows looked oem.

[bgood12]

Wow in Texas trader village around Dallas I got mirror tint installed for 110 and had it for 8 years and going,$ 400 ridiculous. And I like mirror tint if its legal cause car stays bright but it reflects sun too.

Holy cow. I got the windows tinted on the 8g with 3M tint (albeit 35%) and it ran me like $250.

[98mgalant]

Looks good man..... Didn't your mom just get a Fit Sport? FREE PARTS?

[XxGiRLaNT06xX]

I like the wheels

[Sarah]

I like it. It is looking good!

its California prices, everything except mcdonalds is expensive.

That's true. WI the land of fat people and low prices.


Looks good man..... Didn't your mom just get a Fit Sport? FREE PARTS?

Yeah, but not much transfers over and anything I'd want I already have improved upon.

[wetamup2k3g]

Window tint for 8G around me?
$120 including removal for when the laws make you take anything lower than 35% off. Not sure if it's 3M, but the tint lasted for five years on the Suzuki truck with no problems.

lolwat.

[wetamup2k3g]

Needs moar Advan. Or Work. Or BBS. lol

What the next move on some wheels?

[Blue8g]

I have no idea to be honest.

I'm trying to avoid spending much money on the car because there are things that I would rather spend on..however I hate looking at my car like this.

That said, I need side skirts too.

So one of three things will happen:

1) I buy side skirts now. Mount them, have complete aero and no wheels.

2) I buy cheap wheels now and hate the car in two months.

3) I save up and buy cool wheels this winter. Still hate the lack of skirts.

[beam514]

^ they are talking about 3M tint, its clear but still reflects UV

Glass doesn't transmit UV light very well anyway, it's only like 3-5%

Cody, the lip looks good but now the car looks "front-heavy"

[Blue8g]

^I 100% agree.

I just dropped my spoiler/rear lip off for paint. Next weekend the car should a bit better balanced, if I ever find some skirts the car will look 100x better.
