means he drives in the city (not Honda City) all the time. not long distance or highway.

but that FC is really good.

But this is NHC thread.. I believe he is driving a honda city.
That is almost impossible FC to get.

i thought that you're confused with 100% city driving" phrase he mention.

it's very much how you drive it. if you notice, anytime you press on the acc. pedal, the current FC bar from 20km/l for example, drops to 15km/l then 10km/l and so on. If you release the the pedal, it will go up 20km/l all the way to 40km/l. The more distance you cover without pressing the acc. pedal, the higher your FC will be. So, based on this, press on acc. when you need it only. again, it's subjected to how far the distance you travel everyday with it. the further you drive, more data points it can take to calculate the average. the shorter, the less, means average is quite skewed.

and one thing, i read somewhere, the optimum rpm n speed for low FC for NHC, is 3 - 2.5rpm and 90km/h. I haven't try it yet.
*
Uh, how can the car move if we don't press on the accelerator pedal?
Furthermore I'm staying on top of a hill. tongue.gif Impossible to go up by not stepping on the accelerator.
In standard city driving in KL, difficult not to step on the accelerator.
Anyway, I'm pretty satisfied with my F/C right now.

I parked in the parking area in the hospital, have to pay de. My gf stay at landed house at selayang area. I'm not racist but I think its the students from the sekolah agama that vandalized my car....... They are quite a few delinquents ... sad.gif
Dun even know if honda sells that rubber separately.....
*
Basement parking? They don't have CCTV there?
Don't make general assumptions, it can be someone else.

Which rubber is that? Can take a pic?

Hey. Where are you from and mind sharing where you managed to get urs done? Am looking around, but mostly need DIY after purchase.

Probably I want to install it too.

My F/C metre reaches 12.1km/l after that 500km trip.
Guess driving on normal flat road is much more economical than going uphill everyday.

New car, what a pity.. But the airbags didn't come out hor? Many of the TC members accident, either total loss or the airbag didn't come out... Some also passed away...

Actually the Honda City very light and soft compared to Korean cars or continental cars.. Haiz sad.gif
*
If the collision hit side only, i don't think the NHC airbag will come out.
If hit in front, airbag more likely to come out.

That is normal for 100% city driving.
I'm getting about that too.
But the sheer power which this small l15a can produce is notworthy.gif

icic... thanks for explaine.. how bout the sound from the air con? do u all have the same problem?

Only have it when the car starts for the first time after the night or some long period of time, during regular driving there is no sound at all.
I don't know if the sound is what you've described, but I'm happy with the car so far.

shitty Honda quality. u guys thought only Prxtxn car will get power windows problems? well, i found my honda "shitty" driver's power windows spoiled last weekends. it just a 1 and a half year car. Makes me have to open the door when go through toll. Imagine that. WTF  mad.gif
*
get the air cond filter changed before your 20k km service.
it's free of charge, hm has issued a directive to change it for free, i saw the paper somemore.
i just did that and now there's no smell anymore.

all car will have power window problem man, as long as it's moving. even last time my housemate bmw also power window will get stuck, what more to be said of honda. just get it to the nearest accessory shop and they will fix it.

Damn, my right front tire has a bulge on it. According to the tyre shop, need to change.

Anybody knows what tyre choices are good? Especially those with low road noise. As I understand it, our nhc tyre with a size of 185/R5516 is difficult to find.  sad.gif

I was recommended Bridgestone 195/R5516 for RM350 each! (not too sure what model, I think Turanza)  rclxub.gif
*
I just had the same issue as yours, due to hitting a big pothole.
Changed the tyre with the same type, 240 bucks.

The shop offering Yokohoma 205/55R16 for 270 bucks but that means changing 4 at the same time.
Not enough budget for that at this moment.

So just change one for now, until it expires.

I see. Can you actually change only one tyre which is different from the other side? I was thinking of changing both my front tyres......  hmm.gif
*
How far have you driven with the rest of the tyres?
They have measured the thread depth of the rest of the tyres, between new one and the old one is less than 1mm difference, so they say can just change one only.

If there is too much difference, I guess you have to change 2 at least then.

Hmm, if you're tight on budget, you can still change one actually.
1 year + 3 months is not really a long time, what is the mileage done?

Original tyre for NHC only cost around RM240-260 here.
*
I found one shop 220 bucks only, but he refuse to sell me at that price.
Coz he mistakenly give me the dealer price.

QUOTE(siaukia @ Nov 15 2010, 03:30 PM)
how do you guys detect if our nhc will going to explode?
there will be bulge on the side wall?
*
Bulge on the side wall means the side wall break already, means that better change.
Sidewall is the weakest part of the tyre.
If the tyre gets too hot, definitely it will burst.

Last time I tried before, drive too close to the curb, scratch a bit of the sidewall only, next thing i know, flat tyre.

The rain noise is still bearable, used to drive an old wira, won't be worse than wira.

Hey Kevin ,

Is this the default NHC Tyres..

My 2 months old Honda City comes with Conti tyres.


Added on November 18, 2010, 4:38 pmhello... just had a flat tyre on my 2 month old NHC .... using the Conti tyres..

Poked by a nail

Anyways ... changed it with the spare tyre..

need some advise... is it recommended to do a Wheel Alingment and Balancing...
*
Default conti is 185/55/R16
195/50 is wider a bit.
Standard size for R16 is 205 though.

Alignment and balancing would not cost more than 100 bucks, if you have the reserve, why not go for it.

Another noise I get is when I hit potholes...dunno how to tell but its sounds like 'ka-tong' noise.  doh.gif

That's the sound for you to drive slowly and also if I get the ka-tong sound, I'll go and check if the rim is kemek or balancing off already, if the tyre does not get punctured in the first place.
