Yeah I did asked about the white powdery substance when I first got my car a month ago but nobody reply to my question. I wipe it off and doesn't seem to appear anymore. The rusty part not that bad yet but can see the stain and start to show sign of rust will appear soon.

i also had the same suspicious fine, white powdery substance. kind of like superfine "bedak"... with no smell.

wondered what it was. and yes, wiped it off, and it came back. weird.

If u are chop shop kaki, then u will know that all of the halfcut there has this kind of white powder on the engine bay.what is that I not sure la,but my halfcut engine last more than 10years without issue
New batch might need to worry is a radioactive dust...hahaha..just kidding

so many things wanna install/ buy:

boot tray
door step garnish
reverse camera
carpet
super loud horn
tint

but i think the main priority is the horn, tint and reverse camera.
the horn like 'farting' sound. no one bother when i horn haha.

Bro ultramen, can share where is your accessories shop that offer you MUGEN visor? Been looking high and low but can't get..

Sharing a new set of photos... from my latest project in IN2 car improvement

This time, i got my mechanic to upgrade the grounding cables. basically, got better, thicker cables... and swap the old grounding cable (from battery to car body out). this new cable now goes from battery -ve terminal... to 2 mounting points on the car:

A) the car body
B) screwed onto the engine body itself (which is solid steel deep down below the engine compartment area)


THICK cables... best for carrying current


cut-out of the cables. nice thick wires...


final connection - replacing the existing thin grounding cables our cars come with.

Benefits of doing this - in long-term, you'll find the car starting easier, and slightly better FC. Think of it as improving the overall flow of current in your car... from battery to engine/body back to engine. the new cable gives less electrical resistance, resulting in some slight benefits.

Didn't take a photo of the mounting point on the engine block - itself. Basically it was screwed onto the exposed metal engine block... deep down, in the engine compartment (close to where the CVT oilstick is). doing this so the grounding is better (ground straight to engine block, v.s. the metal chassis which still has some resistance).

if i'm free and you guys are interested to see where i locked it in, then i'll snap more photos later lah

wonder what H technicians will say, the next time i go in for my service... so many stuff under my hood changed. LOL!

Hi all,
Should I get the built-in tinted windows that will cost RM1700 extra or should I just do window tinting elsewhere?
Appreciate your comment on the quality of the tinted windows by Honda.
Cheers!

Door visor how much

guys. you should beware of the CVT gear box. Please google about it or from the previous Gen honda city. prevent technical failure before its too late. Car stationary and full acceleration, playing with 'S' mode, drive car with cvt like a race car with high rev, not a good idea. Don't end up paying RM 14k for a new CVT gearbox.....Just a little friendly advice.

Plenty of silver insight in stock now. I found out that these cars didnt just got off the boat from Japan but came with the first batch before the big quake. Its just that some parts are missing and needs them to complete the car. Dunno how true is this though. Maybe its not completely CBU as claimed. Parts like seats, tires, all pasang here?

btw which tires are "better" - the Dunlops or Bridgestone?

was parking in open-air car park today... got 3 hybrids in a row... my IN2 in middle, another white IN2 to my left, and a silver Prius in the right.

of all 3 cars, some passers-by stopped and was looking @ my car (probably wondering if the DRLs i pasang comes w/the car or not ).

not bad. of all 3 hybrids, mine catches their attention. aisehhhh....

This is the weird white powder that's in my car engine area... next to the engine block... anyone have this same issue?





The powder is super-fine... no smell... and doesn't seem to be leaking from anywhere... as far as I can tell.

now i prefer silver    black goin to kill me   
btw, receive modulo visor from "shorty"  and honda toys touchlight 

Hahhaha.. What about 6003?
