I believe he is driving a honda city.but that FC is really good. That is almost impossible FC to get.

QUOTE(toothgnasher @ Sep 24 2010, 03:26 PM) i thought that you're confused with 100% city driving" phrase he mention. Uh, how can the car move if we don't press on the accelerator pedal? 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. Furthermore I'm staying on top of a hill. In standard city driving in KL, difficult not to step on the accelerator. Anyway, I'm pretty satisfied with my F/C right now. QUOTE(gepochai @ Sep 24 2010, 03:28 PM) 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 ... Basement parking? They don't have CCTV there? Dun even know if honda sells that rubber separately..... Don't make general assumptions, it can be someone else. Which rubber is that? Can take a pic? |

QUOTE(jytanx @ Sep 25 2010, 03:39 PM) 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. |

QUOTE(-PuPu^ZaPruD3r- @ Sep 27 2010, 12:47 PM) 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... If the collision hit side only, i don't think the NHC airbag will come out.Actually the Honda City very light and soft compared to Korean cars or continental cars.. Haiz If hit in front, airbag more likely to come out. |

QUOTE(kmarc @ Nov 14 2010, 12:44 PM) Damn, my right front tire has a bulge on it. According to the tyre shop, need to change. I just had the same issue as yours, due to hitting a big pothole.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. I was recommended Bridgestone 195/R5516 for RM350 each! (not too sure what model, I think Turanza) 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. |

QUOTE(kmarc @ Nov 14 2010, 09:25 PM) 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...... 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. |

QUOTE(Thrust @ Nov 15 2010, 02:14 PM) 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) 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. |

QUOTE(seancorr @ Nov 18 2010, 02:09 PM) Haha normal la...damn noisy especially with the recent heavy rain here. Put some insulation on the roof and that should solve it. More $$$ to spend! The rain noise is still bearable, used to drive an old wira, won't be worse than wira.Got the same problem here. Too hard to find the problem so will have to live with it |

QUOTE(MoneyChaser @ Nov 18 2010, 04:36 PM) Hey Kevin , Default conti is 185/55/R16Is 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... 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. |

QUOTE(seancorr @ Dec 27 2010, 12:12 AM) 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. |
