ben84: does it frost up? or when you wipe the rain off, there is water residue? or the water droplets doesn't trickle down your windscreen as fast as you want it to be?
Bro, it kind of frost up...even when i put the aircond to the front mirror..it worst especially during night.. my ride is just 6 month old...and i guess the wiper must be new lo.. is it the mirror problem??

I also not sure. The help desk at Balai say each Sarjan will in charge for certain area. Now i afraid that the taxi got insurance cover or not. Anyway to check it up beside waiting police report?
*
Bro, if i not misstaken... u are claiming your own insurance cause public transportation or commercial transportation in Malaysia rules there have no insurance to claim d. my friend who have hit by lorry b4 which commercial transportation... whole back bumper gone... and he claiming his own insurance which he NCB gone d.. poor him.

i not sure how true is it.. better call honda SC or insurance to confirm. If claim your own insurance... and if u have NCB... it is better paid by cash and request with the taxi driver d.

tints - done
pedal lock - still considering/ researching..... hmm.gif cause will it make driving uncomfortable, blocking leg movement. Currently using steering lock.
visor - done
floor mat - done
bodykit -  hmm.gif so far not on my list, maybe I am not those mod kaki....or perhaps maybe I yet to find something really make me  drool.gif I more prefer subtle mod, u know sometime not so noticeable and practical, rather than "wow" factor, coz sometime when I c those heavily mod car (P1 and P2 especially), until as if can fly, but, when saw them at highway, sound only loud, but, speed like those 10 ton lorry. Malu only.

My next list under consideration/ "research"
-Strut bar, Anti Roll Bar, Front Lower Bar - to make the car more stable - issue pending $$$
-Dynamat - to make car audio sound more solid, especially on the door speaker, further reduce outside noise, and not so important issue, but good for bragging....when close the door, a solid sound of "thud" rather than the P1 park beside, close door "thung" whistling.gif This one, need further research.....not only on $$$ issues, but also, worry they open up the car compartment/ carpet.
*
bro... bars is good to have d. u will feel different when u have install it. dont know how to explain that feeling. but u sure will feel the different.

Dynamat... this was in my list too.. still out of $$$... hehe!

Thanks for advice  notworthy.gif In fact, I had been fatally poisoned in HC3Msia on the bar, only $$$ block me from laying my hand (err...car) on the bar. Hope it wont be too long to fulfill my wish....heheheh....

One thing that I still havent used to NHC is that there is no auto-lock function. Always forgot to manually lock the car when driving. Sometimes, worry stop at traffic light, crocks might just open ur door and jump in. I know that it can be easily fixed at those auto accessories shop, but, all I survey is those u press brake, it lock, I more interested on those after certain speed (say 20km/h) they lock type. Anyone got any idea where can I can it done? TQ TQ for ur help.

Another thing on my wish list (to change) is to make when lock and unlock car got "teet teet" sound, instead of lights blinking, coz sometimes, forgot to see the lights, then, need to go back to carpark to check.  doh.gif This one I will check out whether can be done at SC or not (to avoid void warranty), else I got to bear wif it.
*
u r so welcome.. haha! more poison sure u will kena.. haha

bro.. i not sure do your branch there have any official merchant for install accesories? cause my branch here have merchant which link with them.. so anything electronic installation... i go to merchant to install and my warantty will not void d. so maybe u can ask your SA where u can install those auto-lock and "teet teet" sound. hehe!

for me, already use to it.. when start engine, sure will lock the door. only unlock the door when engine stop and wanna go out. hehe

Maybe I will ask SC during my 1k service. Since 1k service no things changed, just check check only, do alignment, balancing, guess I will go back to where I get my car, but, famously terrible for service quality, so, I will ask the technician there. But, for 5k service, try not to go there, any good reconmendation SC in Klang Valley?

Oic... lucky my SA until now still follow up with me. anytime have problem sure will call me SA and he will guide me this n that. sometimes he have keep free give for me d. hehe! although when buying dont have any discount or free give.. but after sales services really good d. have intro him few client already.. lol!

So, go buy a new polished, cap kura kura, claim that can remove scratch (hope so ler), will try again after wash the car this week. Hope can remove.

BTW, anyone got any suggested brand?  blush.gif  I think worse case scenario, maybe will use Meguire product lor, but, super expensive ler.  shocking.gif

Bro.. sad to hear that.. my car also have scratch offen d.

try get meguiars scratch X or meguiars ultimade compound... both can remove scratch. u need apply and reapply until u sactified with the result... then apply wax on it to protect it d.

before i using cap ayam scratch removal... 2 bottle there which only using few times nia.. it no removal the scratch but cover only.. which after few wash it coming back liao.. so till the end i stick with meguiars products which it really works well d.

if u want get cheaper prices meguiars products... u can buy from US or ebay.

every color of car will have swirl marks after u wash.. it really depend how u wash it. For light color like silver.. the swirl mark u only notice when at nite under lamp pose there. if u not proper wash ur car.. u will notice there have many swirl mark. for black color u will notice the swirl on 1st day u get your car, day or nite also will notice it. hehe

Thanks bro Geo7, guess let me try this cap kura kura first, really cannot, then, most probably wait till I finished all current "capalang" shampoo, wax, etc, then, I convert everything to Meguiars products  brows.gif Hope that time, wallet got little bit $$$ oledi.

Wahlau....kena poison kau kau oledi, UR Bar, Dynamat, now Meguiars products.....

BTW, is Meguiars price standard accross all the shop? Reason coz thinking should I get from Meguiars office (which is very far from my office/ home), but, if I join HC3Msia as OM, I got discount, or just get from those big hardware shop nearby my office (Ace Hardware).

Thanks.

after u using meguiars products.. i sure that u will not change already. all meguiars products smell very nice d. hehehe!

if u have wax... try using good shampoo d which it really protect the wax which it wont clear wax by wash. some shampoo clear the wax just only 1 wash.. which it really not good to long term to use d.

Yea... all prices is standard. if got discount maybe just few ringgit only. Yea.. if u join hc3msia.com OM... u get 10% discount d. cause meguiars is one of the official approval shop there.

in lyn here.. there have someone selling meguiars products d... some of the product is cheaper d.. u can check there!

about the poison.. LOL... i also kena kao kao oledi... now save some money for Dynamat ... but will try install side step 1st. hehe

Ok, thanks for advice. Will take note, seems $$$ fly again cry.gif  doh.gif ....to get better quality shampoo...meguiars?  drool.gif Another question (sorry yea...beginner here  sweat.gif , problematic car owner  doh.gif ), meguiars products got those come in one set type on ah, with little booklet instruction the steps to do?  can optimise the benefits of OM, coz sure the if got, cost few hundreds bucks, so, 10%, wahlau, straight away recover the OM entrance fee.

Ai..u interested for Dynamat oso? Me too, same here, saving money for it, then, join OM (if still havent join that time), go fixed it at H3Msia official approved shop. But, this most likely my 3rd priority, first is above.

Second priority, go fixed UR Bar, dunno if due to my own perception or real situation, since NHC driver seat bit high (I oledi put to lowest oledi) as compare to my previous Satria, when cornering (even at 40 or 50km/h) feel  car "very light" leh....maybe due to the shift control function too?  rclxub.gif Hope with UR bar can fixed this.

......
No worry bro... we all learn from each other here. i also not expert and still here to learn as u too.. hehe!

yea.. i am using meguiars shampoo.. cause love the smell mah.. haha! So far meguiars products which coming in package only clay kits d. shampoo or wax thing will need buy seperate there. U can visit meguiars then ask them give u booklet... it have instuction and each step need which products. it for consumer using 1... very helpfull tips d. another way.. at meguiars there.. ask the expert sure they willing to teach u and giving u some basic guideline d. before i doing this way and learn when i leave my car for them to detailing. hehe!

Dynamat in our club there have a member who done RM950 for 4 door, bonnet, both fender + bottom park of car body. consider cheap d... that y kena poison my member there... now hope company got paid bonus... so can do it after chinese new year.. hehe

for the UR bar... i can 100% poison u to install it. as what u said the problem will solve. not just 40 - 50km/h cornering.. 80km/h+ also no problem d after u install. i really work well in this NHC man. i current just install FB and ARB only.

Yeah,stupid Honda QC.Horrible!

Anyway,just wanna check with you,I did my 20k service the other day and it came up to RM 504.So blardy expensive!! doh.gif  doh.gif

Here is the breakdown...

Labour    RM 117
Engine Oil      RM 68.59
Drain Plug Gasket RM 2
Oil Filter Cartridge RM 24.44
Honda ATF(Duno why must use three) RM 26.90 X 3

Drain plug gasket RM 5.43
Dust & Pollen Filter RM 200.60
Is it normal to change all these during 20k service?
*
Sorry for late reply due to holiday.. hehehe!

I see your 20k services is not so normal there lah...

Honda ATF should be 4 bottle.... it is for gear if not misstaken. and for you Dust an Pollen Filter.. it should be services on 30k lah. If 30k there still changed it.. u need to mention to honda u have changed that. cause i believe all honda services center only changed that on 30k services. if they changed early should let u know they will changed 1st for u.

thats y ur service will be RM500+ if tolak dust and pollen filter should be just 300+ only

after i check with the booklet... i think ur services center is right changed ur dust & pollen filter on 20k. but wonder why RM500++.. cause if from website. the fees should be around RM350+- only rite. maybe this can verify with ur SC more info... hehe!

my dust and pollen filter have been replace when 10k services.. cause got adnormal smell.. but when i ask my SA.. he told me they only will changed again when 30k. so realy not sure about this d.. cause base on booklet is 20k need to changed la.. mean ur SC is rite to changd the dust and pollen filter

Yea i saw the website too.Should be RM 329 only right?

But for RM 329 what do they change? If labour RM 117 and engine oil already RM 60,impossible they can include D&P filter for only RM 329.

Meaning now website and honda manual is contradicting each other?
*
yea.. this i not sure ...i think website prices is not including with that airond services charges maybe. this need verify with the SC. when i doing 30k services... will confirm with them the prices from website and what they charging me.

have u check with ur SC? maybe can share with us what they saying about this.

i just meet some member who from KL visit penang. most of them have changed D&P filter d... but it is not compulsory... u can request not to changed it until 30k as i hear from member who from KL. At my SC... they only request us changing on 30k services d. So 30k service might RM400 - RM500 if including alignment and balancing.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to looking for a new car recently and i found out there got lot's of car around can buy with budget max 90K.

The car that under my consideration is toyota vios G spec, honda city E specs, kia forte, hyundai avante, nissan sentra, and mazda 2(going to launch soon).

However, no matter how i think, my heart still go for honda city, not sure why and even there got lot's of negative rumours about this car is not FC, lot's of problem after buy it. Can i know according to all the bro over here, is it truth that the quality of this car is that bad?

I'm confuse and really scare to bought a problem car.

Furthermore, if i decide to buy honda city, any nice SA around klang valley can recommend to me because i do not know any.

little wind sound... speed 130km/h++ sure will hear minor windsound but not as loud as my previous wira.. hehe... if u hear little beep a like sound.. then it might cause of ur rubber already. u can try from 130km/h to 160km/h to test the sound see any sound increase... but please.. drive safe oh.. cause i suppose not to recomment u drive fast there..

maybe u can check your door rubber see any rubber not fix well? if just wind sound not beep sound alike should be normal since our engine is quiet when crusing.
