Thanks watonk. My SA (Sumber auto) previously told me to wait for few months to get the cheaper version (somewhere at seapark) for the boot tray and side garnish, that was in March. After getting my car, sms also dont want to reply, haih.
If source for jazz/fit, have to buy from honda ka? Any other place in PJ reasonable and durable ? |

QUOTE(watonk @ Jun 18 2011, 12:47 AM) For me its a combination of '0' tax (though HM making more profit out of it), CBU, Fuel economy and best of all, trying to preserve the world for future generation.... Very technical explanation on the D vs S drive 199Nm of torque. That is better than Camry 2.0 u know.. somemore Insight have lighter body...  I'm not that technically sound but imho, shift to 'S' for rapid acceleration is better than stays at 'D'. Our CVT are using clutch pack at its driven pulley. It doesnt use torque converter at input shaft. This setup helps improve efficiency by eliminating power loss at torque converter and improve smoothness. However, dragging the car at D will results more 'slips' on its hydraulic control clutch packs as the computer will always try to get its highest infinite ratio and at the same time increases load on its belting. While S will limit the gearbox to its lower ratio hence better pickup, less clutch slips and less load on belting. That was also the reason why they recommend us to shift to L for extreme climbing. 2 types of failure in City CVT last time was worn belting (though it steel) and worn clutch packs. And most of the CVTbox failure were happened to earlier batch City which Honda Malaysia themselves mistakenly use normal ATF during service that time (back in 2003-2004). Hope they've already learn their lesson...  But in layman term, can we maintain S drive on highway at high RPM cruising @ 130km? ? Cause I have tat mentality that S drive is low gear only... |

want to ask: for our car it won't be the situation that the car will run on battery ONLY rite? even at very very slow speed? (i am referring to the case when car IS NOT stop and IS MOVING)
Added on June 19, 2011, 8:03 pm QUOTE(watonk @ Jun 19 2011, 12:21 AM) Turanza softer compound = quieter, worn faster Boot tray: Original Honda rm400Dunlop 2030 harder sidewall = noisier but fun at corners Sure or not? Out of thousand parts on the car, how come the core part ie. battery can be left out? They might be waiting for the carpet. I notice the carpet were courtesy of honda malaysia (got tag below). Mudflaps: source the Jazz/Fit mudflaps. Its about ngam. Boot tray: Original Honda rm400 Side step: Original Honda rm300 plus labour (without labour rm280) Steering leather wrap: Cheaper if you bring to your nearest seat wrapping/interior shop, ask them to wrap. Around rm80 i heard. Not yet doing mine. Added on June 19, 2011, 12:40 am Interesting.... U go for which package? Side step: Original Honda rm300 plus labour (without labour rm280) two things already rm700. not really worth it because by adding rm400 can get the alloy pedal and foot light.

Only change semi synthetic engine oil, oil filter not changed Added on June 19, 2011, 8:07 pm QUOTE(illiterate @ Jun 19 2011, 12:59 PM) Thanks watonk.

you are right westlife, I am still looking for OEM mudflaps (without the Honda branding). Anywhere around PJ or KL? The mudflaps are more important now.
