Thanks gor ur info. By the way what seat has u swap with the original? Thought of getting semi bucket seat for the front n wonder if all other honda model fits..

Bride zeta III on the driver side and a bride stradia II on passenger side.

The passenger side has been swapped back to stock due to complaints.

You need to check the sizing because that is the only way to tell. Usually it is the shoulder part that is problematic as it might rub {best case} or get blocked {worst case} by the B pillar. The rest is just the sizing on your hip and buttock.

So, you need to first check or if they let you test fit in the car to know if it works. Else, buy something you know someone else used before on the same car. Usually, recliner has less problems. But for me, i hate recliner as it is harder to get out and doesn't quite give the same level of support as full bucket does. But, if you are custom welding the rails, you might be able to offset the seat or maybe even angle it a bit to avoid hitting stuff. But then, you won't be seating straight and might be a bit weird.

Which is why i decided to fit a zeta on driver side and a stradia recliner on passenger side. But, apparently even a recliner is hard to get in and out especially if your female companion wears skirts and stuff. Something i didn't really thought of.

p/s: took a picture of the seat shoulder clearance against a stock unit. This is full bucket compared to stock, recliner is no longer in the car.

This is something you expect to see from the seat manufacturer


Without the rails, it won't tell much of the story. But you can at least get a gauge of whether it will be too huge for your car. As long as you are not driving some 2 seater japanese sports car from the late 90s to early 2000s or a kei car, most of the time it will be not much of an impact.

Thanks for the info. It is of great help. Will try to ask around. Thought of putting type R seat which I supposed is plug n play...

Type R as in FD2R, EP3R, DC5R, EK9R or DC2R. I think none of those is plug and play because the seat rails won't bolt to the Jazz's floor as it has different mount positions. I am not sure how to settle the rail but it might either involve butchering something from another seat or sacrificing your own.

Good luck hunting though.

DAMN Panasonic batteries.

Guys, wanna ask abt rim 17". Someone posted at Jazz GK5 club fb said jazz not suitable wear 17" can cause gearbox problem. Is it true?

Dun see the logic in dat. How is dat possible?

Can i install mugen/modulo bodykit after purchase ? I've already bought the car but didnt buy the body kit early on , sorry if this is a stupid question

Attached thumbnail(s)

It doesn't make sense. There is a ton of gk5 17"ers out there. Some even 18", if there is issues. It would have been a big fuss long ago.

As for drive shaft, it is not good for it if it is lowered. Steering becomes heavier and the drive shaft is at an incorrect angle. That is why a roll center adjuster exists.

Wheel bearing getting a beating might be a fact due to the extra weight. But that is stuff years down the road

Jus for statistics. I ride on 17" also although gk5 cvt. No problem so far with the 5 speed atf unit.

Yes. I totally agreed. U will be surprised that some of the 17"rim is actually lighter than stock rim. So, weight is not a problem as long as u choose those light weight rim. In fact sport rim nowaday are very much lighter due to improved technology.

Replica rims no lighter la.

Agreed. That is the importance of getting a set of decent rim..at least thailand or taiwan made. Some replica rim are light being compromised by the strength.

LOL,

How many ppl look at strength or weight.. if looks great to them, sapu liao..
If strength / weight taken into consideration then wont be cheap..

Dun deny dat. People dun change rims for performance.

But have to becareful of rim reliability as well.

How significant the rim weight (medium or high budget) for fuel consumption?

I want to change oso but salesman advised do it after first 10k km service.

If possible, keep ori rim

I emailed honda about things that can void the car warranty but still no answer.

Who keeps their rims when they are worth a couple hundred in trade ins.

Even if honda answers u regarding the warranty, it will be very generic and very unsatisfactory. Mods as always is done with your own disgretion.

Furthermore, stuff like rim seldom causes things to fail immediately after except for wrongful installation. That is your only worry.

If you really concerned on warranty , dont modified at all and let ur car factory standard....

Stock is best
