Does this apply to Myvi as well?
but would u have an idea why there's no "overdrive" button? is "overdrive" considered old school tech?
Wah this rim very nice.. Got 17" for it?
Ur brake pads so fast can worn out, I think thats good bah, cos i feel sayang want to throw out my ori brake pads unused when i get the car, so at least im at peace now knowing how fast will it wear out.
The best way to maintain engine is to
1) before turning off ur engine, dont rev the car, let it idle for a few seconds after stopping then turn off engine. (This is due to petrol have some lubricating properties and the engine oil would settle on the cylinder walls it will prevent your engine from unnecessary friction on your next start)
2) When doing a cold start (eg, in the morning), turn off ur aircon and blower first. Then only start the engine and dont rev right after starting as the engine incurs most of their wear and tear during startups and shutdowns. Turning off aircon and blower reduces load on the engine during initial start up, therefore minimizing wear.
3) Do not do high revs when the engine is cold as the engine oil hvnt reach its optimum viscosity yet. Therefore the oil film protecting the cylinder head and wall will be lesser than usual as the oil is slightly more thicker.
As for Drive-by-wire (DBW) cars, the throttle response is nvr as good as cable counterparts. I have a Sentra B14 and i can feel the difference of throttle response compared to Persona and even the new Civic. However I have installed D1 Spec Throttle Controller in the Civic and i can feel great results. Definitely a worthwhile investment I would recommend those who wants faster response from their throttle.
