Guys, just saw a posting on paultan (http://paultan.org/2010/08/27/3m-authorised-car-centres-for-your-3m-crystalline-tint/) about 3M going big in Malaysia... But prices still seem much more expensive compared to vkool/ecotint/etc..
Hope some of u could share what's ur tints, recomendation (value for money)... Budget about rm 800-1300 |

QUOTE(Shreddy @ Aug 25 2010, 12:01 PM) Haha that is a very good FC.. Mine just 200kms when half way mark.. Hehe coz my ride is heavy.. myself is heavy but also included certain heavy mods in as well.. Thanks for the reply, Shreddy. I will visit the hc3 website. Can you confirm that i-vtec kicks in at 3500rpm? As for your other problem: 1. Rear bumper.. 0.3mm is normal.. it is just one sided.. since it is within the first service.. just complain during your 1k service.. as them realigned it for FOC (don't wait for 5k service as it will be chargeable d) 2. Complain in 1k service.. will be able to rectified for FOC 3. 1 seconds? You sure.. it should be just a blink not too obvious to 1 sec bro... NORMAL.. even my ride with VS also got this minor blink. Because of sudden surge of electric current.. NORMAL la.. no worries. 4. I think i know about it.. it is cast iron and normal to be seen as rust.. no worries... NORMAL... if not confortable.. just ask Honda to spray black paint over it during 1k service.. FOC.. 5. Complain it during 1k service.. they will redo the balancing and alignment for you.. FOC... Your other questions: 1. Pickup is trottled by iVtec.. not straight trottle like in vios or proton.. the pick up will be draggy for the first 3500k.. once Vtec kicks in then u will have a boost of power Read this to know more about iVtec.. http://asia.vtec.net/Engines/RiVTEC/index.html 2. Good for you.. Enjoy 3. Since it is new.. slowly it will wear and soften.. 4. Enjoy it.. hehe.. 5. Aircond.. try not to put the temp too high and fan speed high.. this will overwork the aircond system then LOUD lor.. hehe 6. Haha.. good for you since u can bear with it.. I can't that is why i added on soundproofing.. 7. Light footed will be reward with good FC... i can't coz i heavy footed.. so my average FC is around 11-12km/l only.. 8. DOn't compare to Proton with Honda.. u pay so much more to have better than Proton stuffs.. Remaining 3 question: 1) Can do at any accessories shop.. Cost like RM120 and below.. when press brake all doors lock.. 2) This one.. please refer to http://hc3msia.com/index.php?showtopic=55 our northern members of HC3 has DIY it.. 3) Better steering lock? Hmm can go for StopLock.. maybe you would wanna consider Autolock (Lock at the brake area) If you need more information regarding NHC.. Do join us at www.hc3msia.com We have discussion over there solely for NHC... 1. Rear bumper.. 0.3mm is normal.. it is just one sided.. since it is within the first service.. just complain during your 1k service.. as them realigned it for FOC (don't wait for 5k service as it will be chargeable d) --> Don't think it's not normal. Will try to post the pic by this weekend 2. Complain in 1k service.. will be able to rectified for FOC --> This is fixed by the SC 3. 1 seconds? You sure.. it should be just a blink not too obvious to 1 sec bro... NORMAL.. even my ride with VS also got this minor blink. Because of sudden surge of electric current.. NORMAL la.. no worries. --> Yes, its a blink but I thought a blink is a second  4. I think i know about it.. it is cast iron and normal to be seen as rust.. no worries... NORMAL... if not confortable.. just ask Honda to spray black paint over it during 1k service.. FOC.. --> Will seek advice from them 5. Complain it during 1k service.. they will redo the balancing and alignment for you.. FOC... --> Yup, this is getting worse actually. If I go over 90/100km/h, I can feel the car is floating & sway to left/right & I need to hold the sterring tight Added on August 27, 2010, 4:44 am QUOTE(1282009 @ Aug 25 2010, 03:42 AM) Hi all, any advice on the problems reported? Here is my FC update:Below is the FC noticed: 50kms ~5.5km/l 150kms ~9.9km/l 300kms ~12.2km/l Looks like its improving. The needle just slightly passed half now with about 270kms running from full tank.  50kms ~5.5km/l 150kms ~9.9km/l 300kms ~12.2km/l 400kms ~ 13.3km/l I still have 2 tiny bars left & I think it still can go for another 50-80kms or so before the light comes out. This is still my 1st full tank fuel of the car. I hope it will remain the same good FC after my 1st service which I will request the SC to check my engine tuning. I notice the rpm is quite high when the engine is started up in cold (around 1300 - 1500rpm). Is it not normal? It only drops to about 900 after 2-3 mins & the rpm also fluctuating when the car tries to pickup after going through the smart tag barrier, does not feel smooth at all. Sigh.

Let's talk about the performance? I own a new City bought it last month. It is now in 3000km. I wonder why the engine is so loud when I accelerate a bit harder, compare to Jazz, I think Jazz accelerate faster than City.
The acceleration speed for City is quite slow, I have to press the paddle harder to make faster speed but the engine noise is quite loud and the fuel comsumption becomes high. Also, the brakes, need to press harder than Jazz to fully stop. Izit because my City was still new? Anyone having this kind of problems ?

Nodeeffect, I do have the same problem like you. I guess this is the nature of the engine itself haha. I used to own an IDSI Jazz. Yea the engine is not as loud as the CITY and accelerates much faster.

choon hon, how old is your City?
Now, I prefer to drive Jazz because of better pickups lol. Hope it wiould improve after my 5k service. However, I think the suspension for City is much better than Jazz for bumpy roads. I wish Malaysia have less bumpy roads, every 10km there's one hole all of the sudden, god damn it, they can't build nice roads anymore?. |

Less than a month old. Sadly, its in the workshop due to 2 careless bikers on the road who banged my car. Its around 1300++ km now. Jazz suspension is not as stiff as compared to City and this gives a much more comfortable ride when driving through bumpy roads.

Yea the engine is not as loud as the CITY and accelerates much faster. I'm also having the same issue. The pickup is slow & when press harder, engine is loud. I read somewhere that some NHC users request to reset the ECU or tuning? Is it true? Did you guys do that during your 1st service? I still have about 400kms to go before my 1st service.Added on August 28, 2010, 1:56 am QUOTE(terry007 @ Aug 28 2010, 01:37 AM) guys did u all try off the radio or cd player when driving? off the air cond to lvl1 only can focus the sound from infront... when u go throught un even road will got sound like steel and screw loose sound.. i try my fren 2 city new also like tat.... drive around 80-120km sometime 40-60km also can heard.. but when top speed 190 can heard the sound clearly.. For my 1st 300-400kms of driving, I did not on the audio system at all just to ensure that I can listen to any rattling sounds for my 1st service complain. But I did not have the same problem as described but I've the sound at the left side mirror as the side plate is loosen & heard clearly when car goes above 100km/h. Claiming warranty on this.This post has been edited by 1282009: Aug 28 2010, 01:56 AM |
