In D, I'd say the car would technically shift at the most optimum RPM.

However, D is more like an eco mode. So, shifts very fast even when you floor the paddle.

If you use the paddle shifts in S mode, you can drag at higher rpm then only shift. I'd say manual shifting in S mode will yield better speed vs auto in D mode.

today my car got graze by mat rempit.. then cabut...

damnit la that guy.. his place number wsl5860

bro moon, me stay near to the pasar borong selangor.. anyway, that was my lucky day.. thanks god!

as for safety, i had visit honda few hours back.. do some discuss with the foreman.. and i decided to disable the boot key slot function as i already cover the key hole with my plate number.. pretty easy by unattached a tiny rod from its place.. just ask any honda sc to do it for u and ask them to enable boot alarm as well.. hope this might help to secure our car..

this f***ing mercedes slk previous model f***ing graced me as i tried to cut into his lane, my whole car was way ahead of him when i wanted to get in, he saw me cutting into his lane only he moved forward and grazed the side, kena the wheel arch area with some scrathces on the side, motherf***ing chebai, then said go make separate report if i want him to pay...

then i said u are not going anywhere untill we settle this, the he said i wanted to play rough, he turned off the car and got down, went to the boot, when i saw that, i went back car and got my stuff la, he saw that he came back and got back into car ...

bro, our cars are driven on the road
went over puddles of water, mud, sand, rock and even bugs / bird shit will destroy the paint
no cars are virgin anymore..

Does anyone here install ambient lighting inside their car? I notice that Honda City elsewhere like Australia or India has ambient lighting. Plus, anyone here knows wherever selling the cheapest modulo front grille?

haihz.. its better to just cool it off than doing it the hard way.. sometimes on the road we really need to take a deep breath and let it go.. just make sure that the ppl, car, and other ppl on the road is safe..

What a nice guy... I agree with you

Can't agree more. I believe NHC drivers are all educated & matured lots

wishing happy fasting to all muslim!

horn power sikit.. hehe.. yea.. true as well.. just try not to ignite it so that it wont even start up..

Thanks for the wish bro!

Btw, just changed 4 tires at Tek Ming Sunway. Hankook V8 RS 195/50/16. RM245 per piece including trade in.

Actually I was trying to change to 205/50 V12.. but a lot of tire shops says might sangkut, even after I say a lot of forumers changed already. At last, with less rolling resistance and cheaper price, I thought it's best to compromise on V8 195/50.

Good choice there
Any reviews on V8 with the dry / wet grip?

Did you change the rims as well?

Anyway, rev to 5.5k just now when climbing a slope to overtake another car, the sound is different, and engine feels different, and sure it accelerates fast, from 50km/h to 80km/h easily while climbing, and while the rpm idling down to around 4k, somehow the engine has another tone of sound, and it feels rough, I guess that is when the vtec de-activates?

I rev to 6k yesterday as i was trying to catch up with my friends who actually owns VW Eos , Nissan Sylphy. When it's somewhere around 4.8k to 5k , it starts to accelerate quickly. Below 4k , car accelerates slowly.

Fuel consumption is like crazy when you rev above 5k rpm and above.
I'm sure I can notice the fuel metre goes down gradually every second. Hehehe.
