Do you happen to have installed any daytime running LEDS? or any kinda of LED modifications?

Well, last time i had weird noise interference from a pair of DRLs. When i have them turned on, lotsa static noise on radio and not clear. Turned off, back to normal. Installed a relay also no difference.

Nope. I had a VS installed too. No improvement.

Mine was blue. I got the basic one. Which really didn't feel any different to me.

But i think if you spend like over RM500-RM1k system, should have improvement. Pivot Raizin got so many variants. And watch out for knockoffs too.

After12 Motorsports in Sunway recommends VS + Grounding systems from QMax racing. They install them in their race cars too.

I agree!

I'd say go for Bendix metal king titanium. I have personally tried PumaTec 500 Ceramic and i didn't like it. Braking performance is bad compared to stock and lotsa brake dust on rims. Wears out within 3-4 months. I switched to Bendix metal king titanium and it gives me confidence in braking at high speeds. It has really good pedal feel vs pumatec ceramic pads.

I replaced my front brake pads in September 2011 ( 7 months+ )and it still running fine. My rear brake pads has never been replaced since I got the car in 2010. However I have already bought a set of Bendix MKT for it.

Bendix MKT front set RM120. Got mine from Lowyat TradeZone seller.

I'd say better and more economical too.

Anyone else using this?

DIY Voltage Stabilizer V2

I am very happy with Bendix Metal King Titanium. Good braking performance and reasonably price. Brake dust? Not apparent on my rims.

I had issues starting the car sometime back. Replaced my battery and it's back to normal. Mine was battery issue.

Bro, have a look at this post.

I changed from 16" to 17" rims with Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 R205/45ZR17 and now back to stock 16" with 195/55 R16 87V TL YOKOHAMA ADVAN A10.

I don't recommend anything beyond R195/55.

About 2 years old. Maybe can get your battery tested?

Mine 2 years; 45,000 km.

Though the FL Honda City 5G styling may not be everyone's cup of tea. There seems to be a fair amount of improvement in terms of drivability and cabin feel.

Read on: LiveLifeDrive review

17" with low profile tyres on the City will make the ride very harsh. Drivability and handling will improve. But have to forgo comfort and fuel economy.

I had 17" for a year and changed back to stock 16" rims. City is meant to be driven with comfort.

Guys, they will fit, but it will look weird. Given the offset on the E spec rims, the tyres will jut out and will not look proportional to the rims and cars. You can always ask the tyre shop to try one on for you. Go to a shop you're familiar with or a more professional one, they wont mind showing u how it looks when fitted onto rim (provided you're really going to buy a set of tyres from them). I recommend Shah Alam Tyres & Auto Accessories Sdn Bhd Look for Jeff Liow (012-2997 021) Friendly and knowledgeable chap. Their FB Page.

I replaced mine from stock tyres to Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 R205/45ZR17 (changed rims) and now 195/55 R16 87V TL YOKOHAMA ADVAN A10. (back to stock rims) Read more: here.

The wider 205 tyres will go nicely with 17" rims. However, 195/55/R16 is perfect for the E spec rims. Just slightly wider than the stock tyre, it provides protection for the rims. From my experience this 195 definitely feels more grippy when manoeuvring over corners.

For me the E spec tyres are absolutely fine unless you're an aggressive driver. Handling through corners is not a stable as the tyres loses grip easily ( >70km/h). Common size to replace is 205/50/16.

I do suggest going for wider tyres but stay away from larger than 16" rims. I changed mine to 17" and regretted. You sacrifice ride comfort. But now I am back to stock E spec rims but with 195/55/R16 tyres.

If you're close to shah alam, try contacting Jeff at Shah Alam Tyres & Auto Accessories (012-299 7021) Very large tyre and rim shop in Section 15 shah alam. He can quote you a good price for trade in.

Just to let you guys know... My rear brake pads lasted up to 49,500km since I received my car in 2010. Replaced them with Bendix MKT.
