I noticed that everytime when i drive over some bump , sometimes if we drive fast our body tend to 'jump' also. When my body falls back to the seat, i can feel that  my seat is a little bit loose. I dont know which part as i think its somewhere behind the chair or something. Anyone encounter this problem? I'm going to complain during my 5000km... Haih...

that problem i also faced it, feeling like the seat moving a bit. urs got sound?

test drove the insight with city ...

all i can say is the insight drives weird, when u accelerate more, there is no kickback from the downshift, and it just revs more ...

so thats one thing weird for me ... more like a lawnmower ...
*
this is due to its CVT gear box, u will feel a little bit jerk n gear changing cos NHC using 5AT.

ehh..1k service is totally free. No need to change anything. And you shouldn't do that until after 5k service.

yeah its free but on 1K services they jz do checkup and they din do any oil change. Some SC will ask if their customers who like to change oil and its optional. biggrin.gif

Low air resistance = low dust/particle filtering performance?
it might choke your fuel injector very fast
*
is like that 1 la... if u want more air=more performance then u need to scarifies the filterization thus more small dust particle will pass thru.

To be honest, dirt is fine. Provided the white colour has a proper wax/sealant or those paint protective coating, dirt can easily come off just by spraying some water smile.gif

But for black like my car, I just wanna say ^$*$%&%##&$#&%$*^%*^% to Honda. I can't take the soft paint at all. The scratches and swirlmarks are insane, its killing me. Every time I look closely at my car, some new scratch has appeared. Makes me wanna cry. Its only 6 months cry.gif

Hate today's vehicles for their super cheap paint sad.gif

Bit by bit la. Didn't do everything in one go of course. Started off with the Qmax 3+1 photo conducted cables. Then I wanted some torque and high rev efficiency, so went for the GD Turbo.

Then only all the Hot Inazma stuff came in. With the Spark Earth wires etc. Its actually Hot Inazma Hyper, so it did cost me a bomb tongue.gif

In terms of performance, the GD Turbo is pure raw performance. Seriously, you can feel the torque boost and the efficiency of your throttle. I got the Hot Inazma for pure voltage stabilizing. Of course the throttle feels lighter too.

FC is seriously up to your right foot control. Doesn't work for me as I have a very heavy right foot. Maybe a little better, but I personally didn't feel the difference. Probably because of the extra torque making my right foot naughty tongue.gif

There's less noise in the engine compartment. And if you'd already upgraded your air filter, you'll very much enjoy the sound of your engine. Very tempted to modify into Open Pod system for more ganas engine soung hehe laugh.gif

I spent more than 1.5k but seriously no regrets. What I'm looking at is on the long run. All these items are plug and play stuff and can easily be transferred to my next car. I can see myself using these same items for quite long.

PS: Pivot VS sucks. Total waste of money. People buy it because its cheap. I just don't understand why do they buy something which doesn't provide any difference at all. I'm so glad I threw mine away haha...
*
totally agree with u about pivot product.... maybe nowadays too many imitation goods. some of the seller even sell the fake 1 and claim it was the original... how much do u get the GD turbo???i saw few place sell RM950 and where??? i am so interested..hahaha

To be honest right, I've actually tried both imitation Pivot and original Pivot. It is the same feel. Maybe not for other cars, but on our NHC it is the same. I can be very certain the original Pivot is authentic because my friend ordered it directly from Pivot website and paid quite a hefty sum for it. He already sold it for a Hot InaZma Pulse blink.gif

Btw, if you're really interested in the GD Turbo, drop me a PM. I got mine for a very good deal and I think you can talk to the boss to ask for a good price also. Definitely lower than RM950 wan inclusive of installation hehe. Just mention my name biggrin.gif

Just my 2 cents, do you have the 3+1 Photo-Conducted cable already? I find that more important than the VS. You should install the cable first before going for the VS. That way when you get your VS, you'll feel the huge improvement brows.gif
Thanks bro. Do post please. Share with us all. I'm trying to look for ideas to arrange the wires better if can biggrin.gif
Thanks man. The reason I chose blue was because my GD cables are blue already. But I've seen some nice contrast in red wires too biggrin.gif

haha... i would like to but not my finance not really easy.. but if got surely will get the GD cables 1st. What other mod have u done??? rims and tyre??bodykits??

The GD cables are a good start. Good grounding cables are much much more important than all the expensive VS. Lets just put it this way; grounding cables are useful without VS but VS are useless without grounding cables.

Haven't done rims and tyre yet. That one I'm saving up. Am planning to get the Lenso SM03. Then change together with tyres la. Something like 205/40/17 maybe. Maybe change with brake pad also. I want larger brake pad just because it looks nicer. Nothing to do with performance wan tongue.gif

But those gonna cost a bomb la. So slowly la. Maybe after warranty kapoot ady then only change. Plus I don't mind our stock 16" rims. They are Enkei afterall. Good stuff. But tyres are crap yawn.gif

I do have the full Modulo bodykit tho. I sell bodykit myself. Its not right to not install right? Haha...
How bout yourself? Any mods so far?

ok thanx for ur guides, will look thru on that.
jz change the rims but using 205/40/17 now, feeling want to change to 205/45/17 cos 40 really so bumpy. my friends all go with 45series and it is better i think. yup, the rims are enkei but goodyear tyre...hahaha crap....
nhtg much i done, jz security tint, change drop in air filter, GD standard VS. and few 2 UR bars....

If it feels bumpy then there's an option. You can try to not pump too much air into your tyres. But you have to constantly monitor the air to make sure it doesn't drop too much. I would love to get the 45 one as well but my workshop guys have already calculated the height of my car. With just an addition of more or less 200kg, the tyre will touch the side ceiling of the car. Thats going to be very bad on the long run if you constantly fetch people in your car. If you drive alone most of the time, then shouldn't be a problem lor rclxms.gif

oh... ok then. do u know how many PSI should be better??? currently i put 36 in front and 35 on the back...

Hey guys to those who installed the K&N drop in air filter in your car. When you first open the box, there was a plastic where the filter is placed in it right? Does the plastic has K&N markings on it? I just bought one and everything is the same except the plastic is just plain transparent.
*
U upload the photo of ur filter, the plastic should be black n the filter should be dark red...yes there is a marking and made in USA.

I have recently got the rear windscreen redone by this one tinting company - Tint Garage, initially they redid the front as there were some sort of fuzziness on the tint and the back as well when i complained the light spread was quite bad at night.

So they took out the tint they did - front and back, cleaned the mirror and redid it both front and back.

Few days later this is when i noticed the scraping of the back mirror he did to clean the glue or whatever on the screen has caused some of the heating strips/lines on the rear windscreen scraped off, this the thing they do with the soap water and safety blade, where he runs the blade across the screen ...

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


So that was 2 weeks ago, and i did not turn the heater on as its not advisable to turn it on for the first 2 weeks till the tint has properly cured/dried... Come today it was raining and i turned it on and this is what happened..

Only the top few lines are working and the rest are not ...

Only small half portion of the rear windscreen's heater is working to clear the fog ...

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


What should i do now? go back to the tint shop first? or go honda and check if this is caused by the scraping and how much to replace the rear windscreen? i dont think there is anything can be done on the windscreen besides replacing it ...

or should i go back to my SA, as he recommended the tint shop

what if the tint shop denies responsibility ...

and i was not given the original receipt, they gave me a second receipt for the replacement ...

this is giving me a bad headache ...
*
I asked the SA last time before i replace with new tint. He said will void that heater because the problem caused by the tinted person.
