Correct. Weight is the biggest factor in car performance.
Which is also the reason why most racing car have most of its weight shaved off.
But we're talking about stock cars here..

For those who wondering why Myvi could have better pickup/acceleration and could be faster than us was due to :
1) Manual transmission - a manual myvi has lower transmission loss and have more of its engine power transfer to the wheels
2) Weight - weight of a manual myvi is only 950KG, our NHC 1160KG (That's whole 210KG difference! )

Both of this is limitation to our NHC, give NHC a manual transmission and 100KG off it would be a MUCH MORE fun car to drive... Although NHC has power, but the weight is restricting it from performing.
However, if the Myvi is auto, we can rape it anytime 

Nevertheless, why do we care if Kelisa / Myvi passes us? 

You have a point there, shunryu. I'm just curious because I thought we always rape manual/auto myvi when it comes to near top speed run. Which 160kph IMO is already near the limit for a 1.3cc car. Well, we can conclude 2 things.

1. Modded Myvi
2. Manual Myvi

Manual Myvi could do more than 160kmh because of the shorter gear ratio in the manual trans & having 5 gears
...

One day I was driving my top speed down the highway
Then i start to chase this Vios J with 17" wheels which i highly suspect was manual
Why?
The fella car was loaded with people yet he could do 180kmh easily
I was alone, and paddle shifting all the way only managed to keep up
He pulled me about 2 car lengths apart 

How I wish there's manual trans for NHC here 

Cause I was flooring the accelerator at 80kph and accelerate all the way to 160kph. With a Myvi following closely behind and overtook me quite easily.

One of my buddy dyno his car. And there was a 20% transmission loss different.   

That is wat you call "SLIPSTREAM" or maybe tat Myvi used DRS??

I know this sound weirds and dumb. But stock to stock. Myvi compared to City. City wins in terms of power hand down right? 1.3cc vs. 1.5cc

Cause I was flooring the accelerator at 80kph and accelerate all the way to 160kph. With a Myvi following closely behind and overtook me quite easily.

That's look quite impossible. But it would be a complete different story if the Myvi is modded right?

No exhaust mod. Dunno about the engine. Opinion? Stock to stock, no chance? So must be modded?

bro, what's SLIPSTREAM?

Can anyone describe/explain to me in a bit details. What does it means by shorter gear ratio? And what does it implies.

guys,

what is your average km per liter of petrol showing on the meeting? mine is just 12-13 km/l tho I hardly rev more than 4k rpm .. ..

full tank of RM65 can gives me about 450-480km only .. how about yours?

btw, mine is new honda city year 2011 .. ;( ..

wow...thats good. mine rm65 only 350-380km.
normal KL driving from around in bukit jalil and to subang....

Hi guys. I had a bit of accident this morning while reversing out of the car porch.

Do I have to replace the whole unit? The mirror and the indicator lights/casing are fine, just the black plastic.

SC or outside better/cheaper? How much roughly? Thanks!

Mine is around the same 350 - 380 km...

HI, I have the 2006 Honda City VTEC.
Recently I changed to 195/55 R15 tyre. The original pressure for 185/55 R15 is front 220, rear 210.
So, what should be the new tyre pressure for 195/55 R15 ? Appreciate all replies.

will getting lower after sometimes.. now i only got 400KM for RM65 .. sometimes 370KM.

450-480KM is very good FC consider ..

Doubt they will sell only the black plastic to you.

Usually it will come as one unit, and it will require spraying to match your body colour as well.
And that will have the wire, as well.

I would suggest you to go to the SC to fix if you want ori parts.
If you don't care about ori parts and you are tight on budget, you can look for outside accessories shop.

Actually I've stopped keeping track of these things, as long as I stick to the regular petrol station visit schedule, half a tank every 4 or 5 days, I'm satisfied enough.

Err, I am using 235 in front, 220 rear.
So far so good.
