hey guys, i am going to do my 20k service this thurs.

do i need to do change my tyres?

is there a need to do so?

and do i need to switch tyre and do the balancing and alignment?

drove for 16k++ as of now. brake still works like charm no prob.

did u drive up to genting etc often? maybe that could be the reason also.

i had drove for 1 year, no prob. happy with the car. the audio system rocks (mine E spec)

for me i have no issue with sound insulation, i found that it is good enough, even i off the audio i cannot hear much noise outside, except like motor pass by me only.

Added on May 19, 2011, 6:17 pmtoday i went for my 20k service, 3 hrs spent. do the balancing and alignment too and rotate tyres.

prob found out, my rear left hand side rim was bent.

my rear left hand side absorber also gone case (but the SC replace for me automatically without informing me in advance, just let me sign the warranty claim form upon collecting my car.

want to ask, any safety issue on the rim that is bent? can it be fixed? how much does it cost?

or can only replace new one, how much?

thanks.

i think u expect too much. if without gov tax, the car is same price as saga etc only.

and it is the cheapest car among all honda models, u expect it to be perfect, then why ppl need to buy civic, accord etc.

serious? so i am not the only one. glad to hear that. my car exactly 1 year old now only.
sianz, think one of my rim bent becos i kena a big hole one of the day recently. u know la. malaysia road condition.

emm. i am not going for third party rim at outside ah beng shop, i hate non-original stuff. i always stick to original parts. maybe i check with the service centre, how much does it cost to replace the rim. i believe they must have stock to sell for sure. at most need to order only. i like the original rim looks.
alternatively, maybe i will send to honda SC to repair my rim. if the cost is abt the same as new rim. i will opt for new rim instead. but need to leave the rim there for up to 2 week

to me 17 to 18 inch does not look nice, and it hurts FC too. i believe it also incur the risk in the case ur absorber got prob, and the SC may find excuse to reject ur warranty claim. i am not confirm if Honda will deny ur warranty claim if u change the parts. it happened to my friend case his one is P brand car.
but my main qns is that does it cause any safety issue for bent rim?

labour to do wheel alignment = rm36, balancing and tyre rotation = rm32.
so total rm68, i find that the price is cheap, considered it is doing at the SC.

Added on May 20, 2011, 10:55 pmfor me, so far i do not hear any obvious sound when go over uneven road, i just feel the car is more bumpy than my insight when go over the same uneven road with the same speed.

i dun understand why ppl said the sound proof is bad, i think NHC the soundproof is consider not bad already. when my car is on stationery mode (not moving), the sound outside is very minimum, there are quite a few times, i didn't notice that my car is already started becos i do not hear the engine sound outside. only when moving u can hear the tyre sound etc, but to me it is acceptable.

yeah, when drive high speed can hear the wind noise and tyre noise. but i feel acceptable.

i dun know abt other car. to me i feel acceptable. for car at this kind of price.

i find both the sound proof abt the same.

door visor makes the car less sporty. i regret installing my door visor.

thanks for the advice. I am actually got no issue spending the money to fix the bent rim. in fact, i am thinking of getting a new rim if the price is close. i am ok with that. want to fix all the flaws also.

how come ur stock tyre so lousy one? mine is continental tyre man.

i am not proud of it. just it does not give me any prob so far.

the increase is not due to the change of tyre but due to the increase of currency yen that time. i think ur justification is not logical at all.

if u can afford a rm90k car, i believe rm500 increment of the price is not a big concern actually. unless u stretch ur wallet by struggling ur ownself to get this car.

My tyre after 1 year still have the bunga, dun think it is necessary any time soon. Did my 4th service recently. Think at least can last for more than one more year no prob.

considered cheap already.

only for decoration only. nothing improvement on the feeling of stepping etc.

wrong thread, bro. this is for NHC.
