Does anyone of you feel like being "eletricuted" (dont know what is the proper term for it) after coming out from the car while closing the door?

Any method to get away with it?

Test with Paddle or Auto? How you test and feel fragile? Are you compare with those higher end car? Make sure apple to apple, or else NHC wont be so sellable in the market.

The term is "static electric", reason why u kena is that becoz u must be generating static electric while u inside the car, maybe due your clothes, or car seat, i.e. u rub too often ur body/ clothes with the car cushion due to your body movement.

One of the way get away with it is minimise the movement, if cannot be avoided, try constantly touch some metal surface in the car to discharge the static.

Thailand? I thought the car is there longer than it is in Malaysia. But I cant help u much with rims as i'm stil sticking back to my stock rim and happy with it stil
But manual City is interesting. haha

static charge? i think that basically that has nothing to do with the car but is just u urself only.
I had a few friends that will get this kind of shock when they approach metal thing which i don't get it if i touch the same thing at the same time.

Down under in the land of fines.

Manual is very fun to play, test drove the Auto before I bought manual cos can play

I like the stock rims as well, can't find another one that compliments the City's strong lines.
too bad it is 6J instead of 7J if not I'd have changed to 205 width tyres immediately.
the stock tyres are quite lousy, it became very noisy after around 8k of mileage and wet grip is not good.

for benefit of everyone who are going to collect their car..here's a nice checklist for you. maybe it's been posted before but no harm posting it again..

http://www.sgcarmart.com/news/writeup/imag...N_CHECKLIST.pdf

can we install something to get away with it?
also there is no metal made thing in our car la

I saw some cars which had chains or some sort touching the road all times...is that a method of channeling static electric from the car? Also static electric is dangerous when u go to a petrol station...the sparks u make are a no no when u filling up yr car haha. I always ground myself before I start filling up my car.

Hmm I guess no one has yet to find a good set of tyres for our wheels...the stock tyres are crap indeed.

FYI changin the wheels to a larger ones will affect your FC so dun start complaining abt FC after u switch to wider tyres!

I forsee that FC will suffer once I upsize to 17, and pickup will be affected as well, but then again, since I'm running long distances, I hope it doesn't go down too much.

I'm looking to change to Hankook V12 Ventus, since I think I can't fit S1 Evo 215/45/17.

Thanks confuzan!

Finally, my Blackie NHC is park in my house’s car park. Overall the car is ….dun hv time to explore yet but y dun hv first aid kit 1 ar? Honda really cut cost until like tis?

Haih, I think my Waja jealous edi. Yday I drove my Waja to dealer thr and parked at thr thn I drove NHC back. At night my bro went thr and wan drive back the Waja. Mana tau, the car's clutch got problem..gear cannot change. Luckily he managed to repaired it and drove back home but tis morning whn I wanna drive it to work, the clutch got problem again. Whn press is like no feeling at all thn I asked my mechanic come and check, he said clutch pump spoiled edi. Changed and now ok edi. Haih, luckily…
Tis sat going to send my Waja to change the whole set of clutch pad, gear oil, engine oil, oil filter and etc. Dun jealous ya Waja…I still will sayang u 1.

what car come with first aid kit?

My old Kancil and Waja also got wo.

I did mine for RM1,800 (CR70 - front; CR60 - back and 3M security film - sides). Discovered that CR70 front not so smart tag friendly... however, some say it is... dunno whether mine in ori or not lah...

6 months down the line, the side mirror still had watermarks on the film so i asked them to change it. Instead they changed to Huper Optik - security film (saying that the 3M security film got problem blah blah blah). So far its ok but i find it a tad hotter than my 3M security film.

Try Bridgestone Potenza RE001 Adrenalin 205/55/R16. Saw it fit perfectly on 1 of our members car.

Bro, I'm using 205/40/17 for my City... I don't think City can use 215/45/17.. Will kena fender.. 205/45/17 also no good as full load will have problem.. The tyres I am using is S1 Evo, who said don't have?? Good tyres, cornering 120 km/h also can... Better than most Michelin and Bridgestone tyres cause the price is cheap but it is UHP tyre... I can give u link for comparison test...

My Myvi using 195/50/15 Hankook V12, silent and good also... Cornering also good but not as good as S1 Evo.. V12 more for comfort..

My 195/50/15 is RM 175 per tyre and 205/40/17 is RM 275 per tyre.. Changed it at Klang, rims and tyres heaven.. Friend's shop, so damn cheap.. Much better than stock tyres, Goodyear NCT 5 or NHC Goodyear Excellence, which are rubbish tyres... 185/55/16 weird size some more... Cheers

p/s : Bro, join Team City forum www.myteamcity.com

Many sifu there, here only talking bout FC and tinting lah, new car lah.. etc... No performance mods... Some of Team City members heavy mod the 5G city.. Poison u..

I went to ask here, the S1 Evo they don't have 205/40/17 leh.

wouldn' using 205/40/17 mean the car is actually travelling slower than what the speedometer says? 205/45/17 gives it a closer reading.
I'm checking against this site http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_specs.jsp for information.

How much is the S1 Evo you got?

U r from Singapore or Malaysia??

I already said my tyre is RM 275 per piece.. I am driving 4.5G City.. Original is 185/55/15.. I assume u are driving the new City?? Original is 185/55/16 or 175/65/15 then...

205/40/17 gives better reading as it is within the 3% rule.. 205/45/17 is more than 5%..

Anyway I read from fellow members that changing to 17" no pick up and very high FC for 5G... 120 - 140 km for half tank.. That person using 205/45/17 and regretted...

For my 4.5G it is ok, cause the V-Tec open earlier... If go uphill, 6.5 k RPM.. Haha... Full tank still can go 300 km+..

My rims is Lenso Samurai SC 06.. Very light, 7 kg only..

hheheheh... me from Sillypore.
yah, um driving 5G city, original stock is 185/55/16 that's why based on that calculation i come to conclusion to 205/45/17
wow, such a big drop in fuel economy ah..
i used the site to calculate and 205/40 gave a 2.3% drop while 205/45 gave a 1% increase... interesting to note that such a small change in the configuration results in such a huge difference in the FC.

I love Singapore!! No problem bro...

I think for 5G is 205/45/17 as more accurate readings.. The bigger the tyre, need to make sure the configuration is correct.. The bigger the rim, heavier and need more power to move.. Sure lose pick up and FC... I've seen Myvi using 18", crazy.. Haha...
