You have to changed your driving pattern on the new NHC. It is DBW and not cable throttle.

Hmm.. your ECU will adapted to your driving style. So try to maintain a constant when picking up then your FC will improve.

For me.. I still adapting to light foot driving but in vein.. hehe.. full tank only 390km.. hehe..

Sorry i couldn't update you on the photos last week as been busy. I have uploaded it in HC3 forum.. do check it out.

I pump all 4 tyres at 33psi hmmm don't know how much in 2XX..

Hmm.. stock rims are JRD rims.. just that don't know why honda uses 6J rim.. if 6.5J rim.. Heavens!!

Geo_7 got it for RM285 per tyre but in Penang

I got it for RM250 per tyre in Klang area

Lately found another shop for RM240 per tyre in Klang area

If you getting it in PJ or KL area price around Penang price..

Yeah noticed that too.. everytime when collect my car after service also my aircond temp is at the MAX.. haha

You can go back to Service Centre and inform them about the high rev during idle.. they will adjust for u..

Anyway eventhough your rev is high and 90% city drive..

OMG 390km is so much man..

Mine is 360-380km in city drive..

Dude.. your's is same as me.. hehe.. I used to be heavy footed.. Actually if i heavy footed also never been under 320km per tank before.. so was wondering how some people drive that get under that 300km per tank..

REVving 5k rpm most of the time?

Hehe actually try not to have shortburst on pickup.. see whether your mileage improves?

Few tanks i tried not to have shortburst on pickup.. hehe mileage managed to cross 400km per tank.. hehe

Outdoorxplorer...

Congratulations...

You changing your tyres on the spot??

What tyres u using now?

Actually the Yokohama A.Drive R1 205/50/R16 does emits road noise but lower than the Stock tyres... That is what i felt... Mine with Dynamat 9pcs installed..

You can join us for our next TT.. to check it out if u want.

Do check for any TT updates from www.hc3msia.com

Hmm yours is the Conti or Goodyear tyres?

Yeah the dynamat does helps a lot on the noise reduction. I installed 9pcs.. 3 pieces on 4 doors. 3 pieces on the interior floorr, 2 pieces for front & back mudguards and 1 piece for the boot area..

Totally understand about the working overseas feeling, me too going often. But do check it out our forum at www.hc3msia.com when u do have time to come.

Wish you all the best. Hope you get your ride soon.. Join us on our journey of the Power of Dreams.. hehe

Sent back to SC to ask them to check on the lock of the glove compartment. Shouldn't be a big issue...

Or you got used to the sound and don't notice anymore.. hehe

Maybe we can have a field test... get several types of cars (all city):
1. Changed Tyres without soundproofing
2. Changed Tyres with soundproofing
3. No tyre change without soundproofing
4. No tyre change with soundproofing

Then we can know the noise level.. hehe

Totally agreed with u that the goodyear tyres indeed are the noisy ones.. Try changing to michelin PP2 or PS3.. Definately will be much much quiet..

Yup the doors and mudguards are key areas which generates the noise..

Funny thing is.. the stock goodyear tyres isn't grip tyres but generate much more noise than a grip tyres. haha.. yokohama a.drive r1 is grip tyres which generates noise but not as loud as the stock goodyears...

Anyway soundproofing really reduces the noise... hehe.. im a happy owner of dynamat..

Hmmm most of the accessories shop do sell and install soundproofing. You can do all the 4 doors. Whole cabin etc.. Roof also can but i didn't cause not much impact on the road noise.. roof is only affected when raining.

There are many brands out there in the market. So far i only trust the well-known brand which is either Dynamat or Accumat.

Those other brand of soundproofing materials, i dare not trust.. hehe

That is depending whether you going to soundproof the firewall area. I didn't so didn't remove my dashboard.. haha
But when you see them dismantling the chairs all.. kind of felt like crying.. haha..

I got the feeling it is S spec.. DLB Colour..
