Guys ..... A question

When is the right timing to use D3 ? does it serve the same purpose as overdrive ?

Lets say if im driving at 100km/hr and want to overtake a car - correct to change to D3 ?

Or D3 is only used during low speed to high speed pickup (lets say 20km/hr yo 80km/hr)
*
There's no right timing to use D3 I guess.. it just depends on how you want your car to react

It's just to limit the gear to 3rd gear, or if you want pickup on higher speed, D3 might be the gear you want smile.gif It's also the same as downshifting if you are in gear 4 or 5 if you shift to D3

But don't shift to D3 or lower if you are driving very fast.. like 120km/h and above

(Correct me if I am wrong laugh.gif)

This brings me to a question.. if we reached a certain speed where the third gear is no longer in appropriate use, will the gearbox lock it up? Just in case we accidentally hit it or something

Guys, i tried to pluck in my Mp3 player by using the usb in my NHC. I realised that i cant choose songs that i wanna listen by using my mp3. I can only choose songs by pressing the next or previous buttons on the player. I have like 1000songs in my Mp3 , its ridiculous to press the next button 1000 times right? What about those who are using apple products? Are u able to select songs with ur mp3 player ?
*
My friend used a fm transmitter and songs can be chosen with the device itself. By using the cable, I think the only way is to choose by pressing the next/prev buttons or press the middle button once, and scroll around til you find the song you want.

A suggestion would be... make folders for your songs? laugh.gif

Every morning when I start my car, the RPM will shoot up till 1800. I think it's perfectly normal. When it's hot, it will only go up till 1k.

Sometimes mine shoot up near/touching 2k(if engine never run for a few days)

I just started my first RON97 pump and my fc is pretty low o_O

Since that RON97 pump, I've been revving a lot, and amazingly BEFORE it touches the half petrol tank, I managed to reach 200km shocking.gif

You see,alot of you people dont get it.This NHC is very difficult to drive at low RPM.

For initial pickup,meaning from stationary ,to get the car moving you have to press quite hard for the car to move.If you press little bit onie,the car will hardly move.That is when ppl from behind will horn you.

It is not the same as the vios where you just press a little,and it will move very fast.Its easy to keep low RPM.

And you say keep the rev between 2-2.5k.Yes you can do that on a nice straight road,if the road is uphill just by a bit,I can confirm with you that you need to rev your car more than 3k RPM to get it moving.Cuz if you do 2-2.5 k RPM on an uphill section,the car wont freaking move.

So its easy to say maintain 2-2.5k rpm here in forum.But in real life driving,its almost impossible unless you are driving on clear straight highways everyday which i doubt very much.

So yes,thats how i hv been driving my car for the past 1 year 5 months,and yes since the first day i got my car,the highest mileage i got was 500km .That one oso once only and after so much of effort like driving super slow .But then again,it was because i went outstation and i was driving on straight highways most of the time.

The other times in and around KL,i have managed around 340km-360km per tank.And this oso is not really hard revving yet.Just normal driving.Not slow,but average.

If I start revving,i can get onie about 300km per tank.And yes,after I press the pedal hard hard,I can see the petrol meter dropping quite alot.

And no,my car does not have any problems.Sending to SC will not solve the problem.So just live with it.
*
Totally agree with this.

Anyway are you using Ron95 or Ron97?

I using ron 95 cuz can onie claim ron95 frm company.

Yea i m reckoning those who get 400 km per tank consistently every time are those s spec drivers cuz their car lighter and smaller rims and narrower tyre which is 175
*
Ahh I see. Recently I've just tried Ron97 and things like gear change is better, though not completely smooth but still it wouldn't jerk like there was something humping your car(I don't know about you guys, but it was that bad for me).

Another thing, fuel efficiency is much better because I can drive however I want now and from full tank till half, it'll hit 200km(maybe slightly above half tank with 200km). But of course not constant high revving(4k+?).. you get what I mean.

Of course, some people may oppose this because, well obviously 97 is much more expensive.
RON95 full tank = Maximum RM59
RON97 full tank = RM62+
The gap might not be huge but it surely seduces people laugh.gif

Since all sharing FC issue, I share mine here.

Just filled up my tank with Esso RON97 and spent RM75.03. Pumped around 35.7++litres. The empty fuel light was on this evening and the meter showed the range was "0km" already. If u guys read the manual, when reach "0km", there is still a reserved 5-6litres petrol in tank.

Total mileage was 539.3km and it's 15.1km/l after calculate.

Maybe it's normal for you, but it's pretty surprising to achieve that mileage mellow.gif

stop the full shit..... and in real the claiming of 4xxkm/litre got no evidence or support or proof AT ALL, all just say only... who can confirm that it is real..... blink.gif

ROFL yeah.. I guess we really don't have any evidence at all laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Does it solve the noise insulation issue? Or majority of the noise since you stated 'very quite' ohmy.gif
Interested, as our car's insulation is badd

If not mistaken from what I read in TeamCity, it is the worst SC.. smile.gif
*
I don't know if it is the worst but it is sure bad. Surprisingly there was nothing wrong today except if you want to count where I was driving in.

I drove in, and it was kind of full, so the guy ask me to park around the workshop area. I stop there and say "Sini?" he was like "ya ya" . So I was preparing to get out of the car, he knocked my window hard and asked me to reverse, "Bukan sini! Pusing belakang dulu! Aku nak park kereta kamu!" doh.gif Don't understand him at all.
Worst part is when I get down of the car, I didn't shut it off. He hopped in, and tried to start my car, wtf?

Also, something not related to Wegro Honda SC today. My friend was there to pick me up after I sent for servicing and while driving out, there was this bunch of people carrying chairs at the road side. So we were like ok maybe they are just moving things.. in uniforms. As we go closer, they started to get closer to us to, we were shocked but then they were not heading toward us, but the car behind. I looked behind and they threw the chairs on the car moving out. No idea if it's being stolen or what shocking.gif

Yeah, literally throwing chairs AT the car LOL. I saw one landing on the windscreen, but it did nothing. The others on the body

If I am not mistaken it's a 1992 Suzuki Vitara?

Something like this

U should avoid that SC if possible if I were u.. No aircon etc.. Different Honda SC got different service and spare parts pricing.. I really hate to service my Honda.. Always take so long and have to make appointment 1 week in advance.. So damn expensive also, brake pads RM 300+.. If u want to use fully-synthetic oil, Honda SC still insist on 5k interval.. Bloody hell, my Myvi 10k interval after I use better oil.. Whenever I service my Myvi, less than 1 hour finish..

Yeah laugh.gif I remember servicing my previous gen2 in a random mechanic shop. No cars around, done in less than 10mins LOL

wow thanks for tips, thank god i'm not from that place, went to teamcity’s forum and saw their rant there on this sc, currently besides this i already have 2 more sc blacklisted smile.gif

i really start to wonder what is the criteria for those human to get the authorisation to open a panel workshop, darn

have you serviced for the 1k? what do i need to take note about?
*
Have you visit www.hc3msia.com before? A lot of tips there and similar topics as well smile.gif Especially on this car. Enter with caution; Quite a number of poisonous upgrades can be found laugh.gif

1k mileage service.. For me it was just changing engine oil and some check ups on the car. Nothing major. Should be standard smile.gif

K&N air filter does make a whole lot of difference in the NHC. Much better pick up and acceleration.

Does it consume more petrol?

Also, what are the drawbacks?
There must be some right if not it may be too good to be true laugh.gif

Its not too good to be true. You're paying RM200++ to increase some torgue. Not to mention you'll have to maintain the filter regularly.
It is not proven to increase or decrease fuel consumption but do expect your petrol to finish faster. It is only natural effect when you get more power, you tend to press your accelerator more sweat.gif

Thanks! Will look more into it when I have the money laugh.gif
