Added on November 17, 2009, 1:13 amHM actually officially call the NHC as the 3G, partly the reason why we used the "3" in the HC3.. but for the sake of not confusing the general public who has gotten used to the "mainstream" label, we also acknowledge the NHC as the 5G

Yep.. the 2007 model is the 4G. If I'm not mistaken there's also a 4.5G i.e. the model with the honeycomb front grille and printed antenna?

Added on November 17, 2009, 1:17 amYep, there's the Dr Windscreen.. the name of the company is Dr Cermin Enterprise
Looking at the website, there seem to be quite a few branches. Check out the link below.
I don't know how much it cost though, but I did read in NST's CBT and it seems > RM100

Will let you know by tomorrow, it'll probably be around the PJ or Old Klang Rd area.
Currently finalising the finer details

Yep... 185/55/R16 for the stock, but max you can go is 195 'cos our rim's width is 6J (unlike the normal 6.5J) hence if you put 205 it will look like a muffin (ie. bulging)

de.crystal: printed antenna is the 4.5G City whereby there isn't the mini-bee sting antenna, but just mini lines across your rear windscreen, just like your demister.

Gentle Reminder!

UOTT is on tonight! --> 17 Nov 09 @ Tuesday

Time: 9:00pm onwards
Location: Pappa Rich @ SS15, Subang Jaya
Attendance: > 10 - 15 cars confirmed to-date

Thanks, Mildwarde
I'm using the Modulo bodykit.. IMHO, I don't like the AirMaster kit. I've got a saggy rear-end already, I don't need my car to have another one..hehe!

Actually although HC3 is primarily made up of NHC owners, we do not discriminate. We've got a 3G City and CRV OM too... if you're from TC you would know fooken

If you don't want to be an OM, no worries.. just join the forums as a Forum Member (FM).. it's free, but of course less benefits and threads that you can access. But no restrictions on UOTT, everybody is invited..we do have to eat and drink, don't we?

hey buddy. hope you were able to spot all the HC3 OMs' cars parking around SS15 earlier tonight. Too bad there wasn't enough parking spaces and all 16 cars were parked all over the place..hehe! Hope to see you in our next UOTT (this coming Friday @ Old Town Kopitiam - Old Klang Road) if you can make it

Lol. No problem.
Next UOTT is coming up!

Date: 20 November 09
Day: Friday
Time: 9:00pm onwards
Location: Old Town Kopitiam @ 3rd Mile Square, Old Klang Road

Ok not wanting to stir the bottom of the pot again iro FC issues for the NHC, I would like to say that IMHO the use of the 5AT as oppose to the CVT did affect the FC. However to also note that our "reserve tank" is huge and usually the annoying 'fuel indicator light' will come out when we still have 9l of fuel in the car.

On average I can hit about 13km per litre, this is raw calculation and not the est. from the meter (50:50 - City:Highway) And usually for 33litres I can get 430km.. if you take into account the 9litres in the reserve tank, that's another 117km

So in actual fact, if I had to drive it till empty.. it'll be 430 + 117 = 547km (let's say 540km)
I think that's actually decent for RM75.00

Compared to my P1 Waja from before, RM90 gets me 420 - 450km?

I'm also heading to Ipoh tomorrow, for work.. day trip only though.
Doesn't the RPM range varies for the i-VTEC? hence the "i"? instead of a set RPM in the previous VTEC

I usually only use my paddle shifters when I'm in D-mode when I want to drop to 4th or 3rd gear to overtake a car on the highway...so that it can automatically go back up to top-gear after a few seconds naturally.

It's a no-brainer to use it.

Under S-mode, just think of it as a manual car and how you shift the gear. Listen to the revs and when you 'hear' the change in the pitch, then you'll know when you change

Yea. The Taffeta White.
It's lovely. But they should've just kept the BBM. 6 colours is better than 5. Oh well...

... you mean like a clear sticker to cover the rear center console cup holder, lower door panel etc etc? Unfortunately I don't know of anything of that sort in the market (there may have), but it's going to cost a bomb. But I seriously don't think you want your interior of your car to look like a Glad Wrap? It'll look awfully funny. Just teach our kid to come out of the car properly, or take off their shoes when they're in your car.. or threaten them no desserts or candy if they start to throw tantrum in the car. Usually works

.. oh no. Let's please not get into another "Vios vs NHC FC bashing, why my 5G NHC FC is so terrible as compared to the 3G / 4G ..bla bla bla" thread. I think everybody's sick of it, ok? Let's move on shall we?

Note: I may request for a mod to delete any bashing posts on the related subject if I feel necessary.

It's okay, elru. No apologize necessary. I just wanted to keep the thread clean for the other forumers. It's nice to are you've stuck around till v5

Now then... We actually found out that at least one of the tyre makes can actually fit our 16" rim at 205/55 and nit be bulging. One of our OM fitted it on and it looks great! The Bridgestone Potenza RE001. May think of changing to that when I hit 35k km mileage sometime Q2 2010

There are tyre sizes for our rims already, but problem is the width of rims is 6J and not 6.5J..so most of the time if you put on 205/55/R16 it'll bulge at the side (like a muffin).. so most of the time I see people putting on 195s.

The RE001 is a little expensive though... about RM400 per piece (depending on where you get it, of course) but it does fill up the wheel arch a little more and gives the car a more aggresive stance.

Shinjite: There are alot of aftermarket exhaust system that you can attach onto the car. Most of the time people just switches the muffler at the end. Not many would modify from the exhaust header itself (cost alot). Alot of ppl recommend the N1-style shape (like the M7 or Trust Ti) type. Low bassy sound. Won't significantly enhance performance (except for sound), but it'll look nice. If you want substantial improvement, you might want to get the whole set (> RM1.5k - 2.0k for a decent one)

mokhzaini: don't quite get you. so your problem is the light is still there? does the usb function work atm?

Yup, more or less I did that once, maybe 1/2 way after E. Even doing so I still had 4 litres in my reserve tank.

Mokhzaini: I woul need to check tml with my car

jytanx: u driving a 4G? Cos I see the 7 speed in your post. Shouldn't be a problem switching, not that I know it was a problem
