I tot of changing my shoes too but doesn't 205 stick out from your stock rims? Do post a pic of yr new shoes when u've got it too

Thanks for the pics bro, doesn't look too bad at all. Technically should run quieter than our stock tires. Mine's emitting a lot of road noise Maybe some dynamat should help too.

Using stock tires now bro so its bloody noisy. How's the dynamat doing for u? Assuming u installed on 4 doors as well as the front and/or rear tire arches.

Sure thing bro but always working overseas so I'm kinda always missing out on stuff at home

Using goodyear ones...i think the conti ones would b better. i think the doors n mudguard areas are key points to install. alrites will check it out bro.

i often drive without music turned on and when u touch 60kmh and above u get a lot of road noise. imho i think the NVH on the current vios is better. maybe due to its tire brand and how much insulation it has comparing to the city. try opening your bonnet and look at the insulation HM uses to insulate the noise at the firewall and u'll understand why.

Whole cabin means they'll rip yr whole interior and put sound proofing material before putting back your interior. Seen them doing it to expensive cars too. Can cry seeing them tearing apart your car. There's a well known specialist which charge RM980 as their base price to sound proof your car but those are for extreme audiophiles

I think I'm fine with sound proofing the 4 doors and mudguard areas

Hard? Hmmm nope not in my case. I oni get that clicking noise when I press the brake pedal before shifting the gear from P to R, N and D or S which SC said 'it's normal lah'. I swear I did not get that noise within the 1st month I got the car

Aiks...S spec tak laku kah? I kinda like the DLB color though

Haha relax bro...we're one big happy family

Oh I just saw in the news about Conti releasing a new range called ContiComfortContact CC5 and it has our size in it! Wonder how it will handle comparing to the stock Goodyear ones...

Hmm I often see ppl changing to 205/45 tyre size for 17" rims. Its gonna get bumpy

Yep...bumpy alrite..but what to do...honda gave us rear torsion beam suspension...cheapest to manufacture haha. Try looking at the other honda models and u will see that our suspension setup is the cheapest n simplest among the rest. Bump bump bump~

Yeap...B segment cars were made by manufacturers to be cheaper so they can tap into a larger market hence manufacturing costs have to be lowered. Can't do much abt that. Yeah civic uses a diff setup..check out the accord's multi link setup too. For the record, Toyota cars suspension setup isn't as complicated as Honda hence helping them to lower costs

Haha...u know la Honda overcharge for everything leh

No problem listening to FM for me so far..haha.

Nah u cannot have the player show text as our FM radio in the car does not support Radio Data System (RDS) but there are other car brands who incorporate RDS into their cars...aih Honda Honda...

As for your mp3 player...it will show text if the mp3 u put into yr usb stick already has info stored into it. Same goes for yr ipod and I believe it will show the whole line of text once before stopping at the 1st character and u will only see the 1st few words of the song/artist/album if the name is too long haha

Yep...best to pump in the morning before u go to work or something. I usually release hot air in my tyres if I have to pump in the afternoon before I pump and its good practice to bring your own tyre pressure gauge as their pumps are often a little off.

Lol that explains why yr car is shaking. Holes on the road will do damage to yr suspension, rims and tyres.

I sent my car in for balancing n alignment during my 1000km service just to c if everything is fine. Since our roads got damn a lot of holes I take my car in for balancing n alignment at every service interval

For me I use paddle shift more often in D. Most often I come across really super slow cars hogging the road so i summon the vtec power by shifting down immediately to overtake XD

I accidentally rev to the red line before when in S mode But I think they got some rev cut mechanism to protect the engine because it never went up the red line when I was pretty damn sure it should have.

Hmm mine happens even after the car is warmed up. But yeah I do notice the sound ur talking about. Dunno wth is that though

Mine after 9 months just over 8k on the clock.

Was trying the RON97 from Shell and the lowest FC I got from it after using it for months is 308km per tank (when the yellow light came up) then after that I switch to RON95 and after 3-4 times I pump I'm happy to see the FC went up to 340km per full tank haha Driving almost 80% city and sometimes heavy foot haha.

Oh yeah any of you guys realize any funny sound coming from your suspension if u go over a sudden bump on the road? I'm getting this 'ka-tong' sound when I go over those bumps I get another type of sound when I corner then suddenly the road uneven and suspension gives out another type of sound..like the hinges on the suspension got no WD-40 sprayed then it gives out a 'nyek' sound

Do post the outcome of the diagnosis bro. I'm getting those weird noise too and I cannot tell where is it coming from exactly but I think it might be from the suspension setup and I seriously hope its not the chasis problem.

U can follow the stuff u mentioned about like checking for paint problems or even the fuel lid cover but stuff like sounds u will get when going over bumps...that will come later when u've used your car for a while unless u really got a lemon car from the beginning n u get the sound right after u drive out of the showroom haha

I paid using cheque and once the bank clears it then the SA will hand the car over to u.
