Wanna inquire about the door central lock feature. Does the NHC comes with a switch at the driver's side power window panel to central lock/unlock all the four doors?

Also, been reading about the auto central-lock mod that will automatically lock the doors when the driver press on brake pedal, will this mod over-write the central-lock switch?

Thanks!

nope, there is no such button for locking, u must use the door latch ...

there is nothing much to overwrite for the mod ... basically it provides u the extra function of locking auto when u hitcertain speed and auto unlock after switching off engine ...

So if i choose to install the auto-lock feature, will i still be able to lock/unlock my doors manually from the driver's door latch at anytime? I understand that the auto-lock feature has a "unlock door" button also right?

Hello City owners, I'm getting a city soon but the sales manager has told me about some confusing news. He said next shipment of city will be arriving in three weeks...after that shipment, there won't have anymore of this model. I asked him why he just said don't know. blink.gif

I don't know whether they are just saying it to encourage future buyers to place their bookings or is the new facelift gonna get launched soon. From Civic and Accord history, Honda usually introduce facelift models exactly 3 years after initial launch. That being said, the city facelift should be due only end of this year. Having this model being such a good seller, I don't see Honda stopping production of city until the facelift. The manager also mentioned something about the japan earthquake affecting production. hmm.gif

Anyone heard any similar news?? unsure.gif

Also, can't seem to choose between silver and white city. White is a very nice color but it doest seem that elegant on a city unlike civic/accord...white city gives a "low spec" impression. Silver is metallic and easy maintenance just that it's too common. Headache rclxub.gif Any suggestions? Lol

Thanks smile.gif

maybe it is due to the parts supply prob from japan side and not due to the new facelift coming soon?

anyway, white color looks nice on city also, not bad, the white is bright and does not look dirty or yellowish.

so the current white color city is actually not bad. silver is just too common on any car in my opinion. if u are those conservative type and always prefer to play safe. silver is a color for you.

my NHC is polished metal metallic, i like grey color.  tongue.gif but actually i like the initial brown metal color but too bad when i bought it last year the color discontinued already.

I remember Honda Malaysia came out with a press release saying that production in malaysia wont be affected for two months (April-May) so maybe after May, there might be an uncertainty in Honda car deliveries.

Anyway, just booked my Honda City Alabaster Silver. Finally went to the showroom to compare both colors side by side...love both. However the metallic silver was a tad more reflective/shining because of the metallic paint. Also, been driving a white wira for 8 years already...time for another color. Haha.

Polished metal very suitable for the car also but i wanted a lighter shade for my car. Cant wait for my car! biggrin.gif

Already thinking of my first few mods. Auto lock, key hole LED and LED side step. Anybody know where can i order the key hole LED thing? Thanks!

just did few mods only bro. more to come hehe.

i done my tinted at wawasan, at shoplots besides hopoh there. my rims bought it at lee hong, green road area. btw its nano black, 65%. so far quite satisfied with the tint. but its cheap one la, not those expensive vkool hehe
*
Only 65%? It looks quite dark to me. Haha.

Need to go shop to shop to do survey first. Some of the prices in Kuching very expensive compared to West Malaysia.

Bodykit have to be careful with getting the correct paint color. That day i saw one white city at service center with modulo body kit and very obvious the bodykit and car different shade. Potong steam lah... ohmy.gif

Hopefully can get car next week. biggrin.gif

Wanna share my experience at JPJ yesterday. Actually whole afternoon i only waited for the Ketua Cawangan to have a look at release tender number. I arrived around 2pm and waited outside his office till almost 3:45 before he came. ohmy.gif I had a look at the remaining tender number and only saw one that i might be interested in. Anyway, decided to go back to counter to check on other number. The ketua left the office with me around 3:50pm and said he'll be back in 10 minutes in case i need him to release the tender number.

Went back to the counter, and found that a lot of the numbers in their book are not crossed out. ohmy.gif And the counter didnt even bother to tell me that when i took the book from her. Imagine i kept writing down a few numbers that i like only to be told later on that "sudah registered" sad.gif End up wasted a lot of time to double check whether the number in the book still available. Im sure it'll be easier if they update the book and cancel off those number that are not available anymore. Save time from the officer and me going through the numbers one by one. In the end i decided to get the tender number, that was around 4pm so i waited for the ketua. Until 4:50pm he didnt come back. Means from 2pm till 5pm he was in the office for 10 minutes only. doh.gif So last last went home empty handed.

Obviously still not efficient enough. The worst thing is that, no one knew where he was or what he's doing or when he'll be back. I asked so many officers there, all tidak tahu. At least he should inform his staff that he's going out of office. Quite a frustrating and tiring experience. sad.gif

Anyway, i came home and wrote down more numbers and this morning i went back, luckily got one i wanted still available.

Interested in the price of body kit also.

Hi guys, anyone can confirm how many horn does the NHC have? If not mistaken i read somewhere online that NHC has two horns, one directly in front of the radiator (visible) and one at the side hidden inside the front bumper.

Im asking because i went to accessories shop to swap my horn, they only took out the one in front and told me that NHC only comes with one horn.

Appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

Cant really rev my car because SA told me the engine needs to run in for 1-2 months. Now still kinda awkward, cant really find comfortable sitting to drive...not like my old car, very used to it already. tongue.gif

Yeah willl post some pics up. Haha.

Well, had to go back to JPJ again but finally got quite a "satisfied" number biggrin.gif
