Project "Hyaku Shiki Hamster": My 2005 GD1 Honda Jazz 1.3S

For my purposes ADVAN Neovas are overkill.

Besides they're not a good daily-drive choice on a Jazz.

Firm Jazz suspension + hard Neova sidewalls = fatigue.
High price + low treadwear = lean wallet!

Unfortunately, once you've gone black, you can never go back... Been a Neova addict for several years, already. Too bad the AD08s cost Michelin money already!

FINALLY sent in Aibo for the long-overdue windshield replacement. The dealership really isn't making this easy or straightforward. Argh.

After this, I can move on to some other mods...nothing major, of course.

From an experiment on TV, they say that you should be worrying problems other than a windsheild crack since those glasses are laminated and wouldn't shatter easily. But if it's bothering you since it's getting longer and your wallet can handle the damage, why not!

That's true, but the crack is also a hazard because it potentially introduces glare into the driver's vision with the way it bends light. This is most evident in hot summer days. All it takes is one spot of glare, really.

In Florida the state requires insurance companies to replace any and all broken windshields FOR FREE. ;)

I agree with you on the glare that the cracks make. My tito's Innova had a windshield crack on the passenger side. The glare was blinding enough to be unsafe if it were on the driver side. Good thing it was replaced by insurance.

By the way I got Aibo back, windshield replaced and all, yesterday at lunch. The way it all boiled down, insurance paid for 2/3 of the windshield replacement parts and labor.

Unfortunately my village stickers went along with the old windshield...and my eyes took a while to adjust to the absence of tint in the hot noontime sun. Still mulling over bringing back the tint, though.

Next stop is Caliraya on Saturday. Still no new tires, though, so the white Circuit 10s soldier on...

Was hoping to go out to Quezon this weekend... just got a test unit. Unfortunately, instead of the CRDi I was expecting, I got a gasoline SUV. Methinks I will just spend my weekend here... :hysterical:

Pulled up for a maintenance stop at Speedyfix.

Royal Purple 5W-30 full-synthetic oil
Royal Purple Synchromax MTF
NGK BKR6E-11 spark plugs x8
Prestone DOT3 brake fluid for my clutch lines
New air filter





Just in time, too; the old FKMassimo Super SS-X mineral oil was positively dirty after 5000 km. The outgoing Denso spark plugs looked in great condition.

I don't know anybody who's tried Royal Purple Synchromax MTF on a Honda manual gearbox so I guess I'm subjecting myself to being a guinea pig again. So far my experiments have been successful though.

I STILL haven't gotten around to buying new tires hahaha!

Oh by the way, the uphill/downhill road of Caliraya itself was very nice to drive!

No photos sadly, but take my word for it. I didn't think Laguna had a winding hill road just as good as Marcos Highway...but without road cuts.
