The Jazmobile Has Landed!

[CarbonM5]

Bet Bertie Bassett would like it!

Looks ok to me. not my thing but i have seen a lot lot worse. Some nice touches in it.
one thing that really really bugs me though
















Can you move the tax disk holder down and left a bit. cheers



PS now read rest of thread and seen how much you have invested in it. Not a dig its your money etc etc and all that matters is you are happy there are obviously plenty of options you could have had for the money invested GTR/second hand 911 turbo etc etc blah blah

But as you obviously like lexus you could have had an ISF now that would be different. I have never seen on on the road.
but like I say I quite like what you have done.

Fair play to you OP, be different. World would be a boring place if we all drove Mx5's.

Unfortunately a good mid life crisis requires a sports car / motorbike . . . . . . A diesel 4 door saloon “modified” in same way my neighbours 17 year old lad wants to modify a Yaris, isn’t really the same is it?

[anonymous-user]

So, you bought a £25k car, and spent another £25k modifying it?? BL**DY amateur, my car cost me £1200 and i spent £65k on it........... ;-)

Everyone's opinions and advice is appreciated... I suppose the thing with modding is that you don't always set off with the intention of spending what you finally do... One thing kinda leads to another and before you know where you are, you've changed just about everything.

Must admit though, I've enjoyed the journey & the shows, etc and it's felt quite good having a car that's quite individual.

Probably won't be doing so much to my next car lol :-)

Great-natured response in the face of lots of negative criticism. Some of us may not like your car, but you have a cracking attitude, chap!

Well said. Plenty of comments on here seem just to be to try to annoy or play to the crowd.

No, beer goggles won't work this time

[s3fella]

There are specialist magazines for enthusiasts fo such vehicles. Jaz Mags I think they are called.


What is the significance of the star on the headrest BTW? Does it mach your missus' tattoo?

Weird thing is, if it wasnt for the nasty wheels, and the white painted dash bits that just look cheap and nasty, lose the big nonsense stereo in the boot and the rest is pretty OK!

Have you ever been in Helensburgh? I remember seeing a very similar car with matt black boot and bonnet i think? Can't see many pictures, just a new white IS and remember the wheels. Was a while ago.
Stood out in of the middle of the boring street. i certainly gave a look
Hope you enjoy it!

The total cost of the project (car + modding) was circa £50k

Each to their own, but that's a serious budget - nearly new C63 AMG, used R8, used 911 Turbo, mint 360 Modena etc etc...

[MondeoMan1981]

Given the spatterings of white inside, shouldnt it be called the Jizzmobile ?

[calibrax]

Fair play to the guy, it looks like it's been well done, and if you are into modding for shows etc then it's a fine example. On those forums which cater for that kind of thing, it would probably be very well received.

But this is Pistonheads...

[Harji]

It's a diesal, have they now taken over that even modders are driving them?

[Oxygen2k10]

Much respect to the op! Its your money so spend it how you like, just make sure you enjoy doing so!

I actually don't think it looks too bad, it looks pretty well put together and certainly looks much better then the usual Max Powerzzzz Corsa yO!

[Hell27]

Nice interior, the mods to be fair look tasteful and have had some thought put in.

I'd have gone for an M5 or XJR and some petrol money for that budget, but it's not my money, it's yours so fair play. I also agree with Harry Flashman, you are a new poster and have a reasonable attitude in the face of much piss take, good on you. It is people that have individual tastes in cars that make sites like this possible, so carry on as you were!

[EASI JAZ]

I know this ain't necessarily a modifying site, so I expected a mixture of different tastes and opinions, but all-round I think it's been an interesting and enjoyable discussion... Thanks to everybody for the enthusiastic input (especially the supportive stuff lol)

Yep, that was me! ... Last summer I agreed to chauffeur my friend's daughter & her pals to their school prom... The car ended up drawing a huge crowd and being photographed for the local newspaper! ... Unfortunately it was pissing with rain!

Glad u liked it m8... Cheers!

Does not really matter, utter madness is utter madness wherever you are, i was expecting my car to go down like a lead balloon but a lot of the comments in my project log were favourable so as i said daft and nutty seems to be liked everywhere
