Juz wanna say hi to everyone here in the new version. So TS, no owner's list?
 Perhaps can put some pics like the previous version or smtg to spice up the front page, lol. Juz a suggestion Btw, anyone install the auto lock in their city in Honda SC?? I find that not really worth it to install there la after doing so, it's juz a simple brake lock that can be done outside at a much cheaper cost and it's kinda like working weirdly now (don't know if it's me playing with it too much or it's faulty  ). |

I just thought that a 1 step colder plug would help to reduce the temperature inside the engine compartment, thus become a benefit for high revving cos I usually drive it like it's stolen |

Anyone installed this inside their NHC?
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...+city+head+unit I am interested to get one with GPS but for GPS alone is 700+. Too steep for GPS SDcard. Maybe there's a way to create your own application/map but I didn't find anyone who did that. |

Guys, can recommend me what more to instal to get the comfy ride. I mean to get the best respond from my NHC? I already install quite a lot of VS and Grounding already. Also change drop in intake filter to K&N, but my butt still feel not satisfied.
These are the list of the things I've done to my NHC; 1. BRISK VS 2. K&N Drop In Filter  3. Pivot Ignition Earth (The Composite Cable)  4. Pivot Spark Earth  5. Pivot Raizin Spark S 6. 4AWG DIY Grounding to these point - Alternator - Each of the Spark Plug other than 2 for the Pivot Spark Earth and Pivot Ignition Earth - Intake Manifold - Driver Side Chasis - Firewall - Gearbox 7. Cheapo Zaptor VS For stability i've instal basic UR rear ARB and Front Tower Bar only. |

Honda Malaysia has announced details of its customer reward campaign for 2011 – the campaign, aimed at rewarding current Honda owners and potential customers in both routine maintenance and after-sales services, runs from today until August 31 at all authorised Honda dealers.
Throughout the period, existing customers who bring in their cars for service – at any amount spent – will be in the running for a lucky draw to win more than 1,600 service vouchers every month as well as 20 units of Apple iPad 2s and the grand prize, an Insight hybrid. Some terms and conditions – cars with under 40,000 km mileage being sent in for service will get one lucky draw entry, while those above 40,000 km mileage bag one lucky draw entry as well as a 20% discount on labour cost for the next service. Meanwhile, Accord and Insight owners who purchase Modulo packages for their respective rides will get three lucky draw entries. Time for that service then, eh? |

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter aggressive or soft horn. As long as it is used wisely, and you drive wisely. Any motorist will know your presence.

QUOTE(SeanWong @ Jun 21 2011, 08:48 AM) huh? i thought OEM Modulo BK from Honda is ABS material, no? ya ori Modulo City is ABS material. Diff models/makers use diff material, some use ABS while others use PU/PP. correct me if i'm wrong Beemers use PU/PP for their stock bumpers though. So i guess both materials should be durable. |

so will the heavier PP material BK affect the FC? And since ABS materail BK is lightweight, so it won't have much impact on FC?
As both also durable, what is the reason to opt PP instead of ABS?  This post has been edited by SeanWong: Jun 22 2011, 02:16 PM |

The weight is negligible with a mere of maybe 0.5-1kgs ?! doesnt impact that much i guess. As both also durable, what is the reason to opt PP instead of ABS? As mentioned, some makers use PP while some use ABS. Reasons then you gotta ask the makers themself, but since both is used up to the maker's preference. They should be as durable as in normal conditions. But one thing to take note is ABS is harder to bond and produce compared to PP hence most oem or 3rd party prefer PP than ABS. |

Auto body kits enhance the performance and power of your vehicle. In many cases, they augment the dormant characteristics of the car thus making it more adaptive to the particular road conditions in which the car is run. For instance, adding spoiler to a car can greatly increase fuel efficiency, speed and traction of the car.
Thus, original auto body kits are not designed to up the style quotient of your gig, they also promote several functionalities like providing better swerve, road contact, traction, bettering the aerodynamic condition of the car and enhancing other external features. Since you prefer Performance, better not to overlook this. |

funny, then why would u want to increase performance of a non racing performance car ? doesnt that contradict yourself ?
Original Bodykits does contribute to wind drag co-efficient and also aerodynamic which doesnt need a race car to figure that out. Personally i was involved in such testings in previous job, actual figures really show their effectiveness. That is why ppl dont cruise 140km/h while opening their windows. |

Well that is because most 3rd party bodykits were made mainly for styling and marketed as fashion accessories which made majority drivers recognize or define bodykits as fashion accessories. The mindset wont change as long they still market it in that direction, only those that had enough knowledge on this or involved in aerodynamic testings would know better.Btw, may i know which type of rear spoiler (boot lid) is better in terms of reducing drag. How much does each spoiler increase the drag coefficient on the 5G Honda city? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « To be on the safe side, just get the factory fitted bodykits. Those should be efficient enough as they undergo drag testings before actually marketing them. Some spoilers have either little aerodynamic benefit or even make the aerodynamics worse.

Wing-like spoilers and normal rear spoilers both had different usage and effects. Spoilers are often confused with wings. Spoilers increase grip by reducing the lift created by a car's shape, and also reduce drag by eliminating the induced drag. While wings increase grip by producing downward force but drag increased the same time. But many would ask, since it increases drag then why wings ?! Depends on the usage, wings can make any car oversteer or rather 'drift' including front wheel drives. But looking at the current market, mainly most wing-like spoilers are for cosmetic purposes. Not sure will it improve or worsen the aerodynamics. This post has been edited by xin: Jun 23 2011, 01:35 PM |

Yes, Michelin did launch a new tyre model which is Michelin XM2.I normally get my tyres changed for my old car at PJ SS3.

After price cut, Honda City to go for facelift
QUOTE NEW DELHI: Honda City is going for a makeover to counter rising competition and falling sales, after a Rs 66,000 price cut a few days back. Japanese major Honda's volume driver in India has seen severe contraction in demand after new launches like Volkswagen Vento and Hyundai Verna hit its sales. Rising prices of petrol have added to woes as new rivals also come with diesel engine while City has none. Industry sources said a new version of the City is expected by the festival season (around October) and this would sport changes both in the interior and on the exterior. While some of these could be cosmetic, others may be "somewhat heavy", the sources added. Sources said design changes would make City more sporty. Bumper area and the tail-lamp of the car would be tweaked. "However, the engine will remain the same in all likelihood," they added. When contacted, Honda denied any such plan. "We do not have any plan to launch the facelift for the City model during the festival period. Our current focus is the launch of the Brio (hatchback)." The sources, however, maintained that a facelift is on the cards, as Honda desperately wants to protect its share in the premium sedan segment, though its grip is loosening. The company - once a leader in the category - is worried over the fact that City would see further erosion in demand with other models getting a strong foothold in the market. sos - times of india - Industry sources said a new version of the City is expected by the festival season (around October) - changes both in the interior and on the exterior. - sportier city, new bumper and tail-lamp - same engine - However, Honda denied such plan. But, the main question is, are we getting a new facelift Honda City? btw, I love if they include Optitron meter as in previous generation. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

U can track where ur car is and able to send remote command like to shut off car via gsm and can send u back location of car via gsm And onboard gps And u still need to pay extra for another phone line to the car Which will render the alarm unit not workable if they put car in container, no reception. It will simply not work.. |

i think installation of Connex is worth it as it is only cost 0.04% of your standard City E spec which cost around 90500..
Based on Risk Management principle.. the installation of added security measure will improve ur risk from High to Medium.. in term of protection of your car from getting stolen.. yearly cost is around 360 plus 150 for insurance for 15k compensation package.. read this in star today http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=...6606&sec=nation |

There are quite a number of NHC there, all of them did not install the Cobra thing?
And also, I saw those NHC on the upper level in the container, they do not have boot lid and also car roof? Seems like they chop off the top part of the car? Wow... |

Weirdest thing just happened earlier. Just replaced my horn to Bosch horn few days ago. Then just now, I full press for few seconds then suddenly no sound. Fine, thought horn fuse burn or wiring not good.
But this also affected my gear shift. I can start my car, but can't shift from P to D. I had to remove the shift release cap, and release the gear manually with a key. Anyone came across this prob? Is it just a fuse problem? |

Ya, fuse problem. The horn and gear shift lock shares the same fuse. It is rated at 10AMP. It's either you replace the fuse to at 15AMP (I don't recommend this though as fuse are in placed to protect your circuit board) or install a horn relay.

Hello peeps
. I'm currently driving NHC 09 , just done 30,000 km service 1 month ago. Few days ago, I had this problem , the gear ratio seems like got some problem and not so smooth gear change. When the first gear 1st gear turn to the 2nd gear it got slightly jerky as usual , but from 2nd gear to 4th gear after gear changing , the RPM previously is at 1.9k but nw it will drop till 1.5k (didnt release the accelerate pedal) which cause the power loss , I have to accelerate more in order to change to next gear at 2.1-2.2k , any 1 experience this before? Any 1 can enlighten me bout this? Thank you.This post has been edited by Tr1Angel: Jul 2 2011, 02:04 PM |

Any 1 can enlighten me bout this? Thank you.usually from 1st gear it requires more pedal force to get it into 2nd gear smoothly without lag, don't be afraid to step the pedal like there's a mouse behind it.. Most ppl would feather the pedal and accelerate slowly the gear will engaged into 2nd gear much earlier in lower rpm causing the car to lug and hence power loss (imagine u shift into a higher gear early at low rpm on a manual transmission.. engine would take more stress, which is the same effect) From 3rd gear onwards the gear ratio are much higher (taller gear) thus the rpm would drop further hence the power loss would be greater felt... This is based on my personal experience, I believe u'd need time to get used to the car behavior So go ahead, step that pedal more! (it's better to build up to cruising speed e.g 80km/h through faster acceleration than to lug the gears slowly to crusing speed which would use up more fuel) |

I suggest u have it checkup the next time u go service ur car
Also: Request for ATF transmission fluid change Gearbox need maintainence as much as the engine as well cause they are equally important Otherwise, the simplest way to reset the ecu would be to unplug the battery for about 3 minutes then replug again This post has been edited by shunryu: Jul 2 2011, 04:21 PM |

Cause it's also approved by Honda Malaysia. So car warranty will not be an issue.The benefit of cobra is the active monitoring system. Without that the alarm system is pretty useless. The thieves can just disable it easily and nobody will know. Plus, they also pay out a sum of money if the car confirm stolen. This post has been edited by abubin: Jul 4 2011, 01:00 PM |

QUOTE(Tr1Angel @ Jul 2 2011, 01:49 PM) Hello peeps Bro this is not a problem but actually how u press the gas. Hv to admit though, our nhc gearbox is a bit slow in selecting gears in d mode. . I'm currently driving NHC 09 , just done 30,000 km service 1 month ago. Few days ago, I had this problem , the gear ratio seems like got some problem and not so smooth gear change. When the first gear 1st gear turn to the 2nd gear it got slightly jerky as usual , but from 2nd gear to 4th gear after gear changing , the RPM previously is at 1.9k but nw it will drop till 1.5k (didnt release the accelerate pedal) which cause the power loss , I have to accelerate more in order to change to next gear at 2.1-2.2k , any 1 experience this before? Any 1 can enlighten me bout this? Thank you.and srsly dont waste time resetting ecu whatnot, no difference and waste of time QUOTE(mcliong1 @ Jul 4 2011, 12:12 AM) Mine gear change also got jerking sometimes but nothing SC can do much.... Yeap, std problem with all nhc. Hard to start in hot weather. It occurs to me once in a while.dont think sc can do anything bout thisEven my car hard to start when in hot condition also they no idea how to fix. Everytime got this problem I need to start more than 5 times. Very sad on my car.... Added on July 5, 2011, 4:39 pm QUOTE(earl-ku @ Jul 1 2011, 11:06 AM) but this is a City thread wo ... Its cuz our car fetches good money thats why they like curi honda cars.if not they will curi saga or myvis. Easier to stealAdded on July 1, 2011, 11:17 amhmmmm i thnk best is still to get the wheel clamp la ... hahaha clamp onto bolt onto floor ... aihh ... this is not because the car has good market price, or its a good car nor a high demand for it ... its just that the car has bad security features ... anyone here agree with me here? QUOTE(calvin_gsc @ Jul 2 2011, 12:59 AM) Weirdest thing just happened earlier. Just replaced my horn to Bosch horn few days ago. Then just now, I full press for few seconds then suddenly no sound. Fine, thought horn fuse burn or wiring not good. I changed my horn to bosch too. But u need to fix a relay, looks like a small square box kinda thingie. If not u will burn ur fuse.But this also affected my gear shift. I can start my car, but can't shift from P to D. I had to remove the shift release cap, and release the gear manually with a key. Anyone came across this prob? Is it just a fuse problem? This post has been edited by kevin23: Jul 5 2011, 04:39 PM |

QUOTE(shunryu @ Jul 5 2011, 04:13 PM) your gearbox oil is dirty that's all Yeaaa I guess so , so I'll change the transmission fluid in the next service which is 35k instead of 40k/60k. I don't mind of spending a lil more and service it earlier bit as I want to keep my car in tip-top condition remember to always schedule your car for service gearbox is just as important as your engine so an early change of transmission fluid wouldn't hurt much |

Hi guys, just signed up the bank loan agreement and waiting for the car (polished metal) to come in September.
I am a bit concerned about the disabled-by-default boot alarm and the location of the alarm buzzer which can be disable easily. You guys have the checklist to look for possible manufacturing defects for a new NHC? Thanks. |

I bought my car at Milennium Auto (cause they are the only one with ex-stock that time). My first service I send there and feel that their service not that good. My second service, I tried Jalan Ipoh branch, Angkasa Motor. Have been with them since then. |

Yeah. ABS has been activated a few times over wet surface using conti tyre. Probably it's because of the width, 185, like 14 inches. And it's quite loud as well.

Definitely not a quiet tyre...
But due to bad grip offered by the Goodyears and as far as cost is concerned, Honda chosen ContinentalPremiumContact 2 as stock OEM tyres.. I'm still waiting for them to wear off, these tyres sure can last long but grip / noise really not up to the standard Anybody have changed their tyres and use 195/50/R16? (not going to change the E spec rim because it is Enkei afterall) Please suggest some tyre choices for this size |

Most of them say 195 would be the best due to our rim's width. Apparently , some Honda City owners changed theirs to 205 without any problem. However , some said that it may look a bit like a donut. I'm planning to change mine to 205 when my tyre wears out tho.

hello guys im having problem with my honda city 3G
i wonder how come whenever i start my engine either early in morning or after i leave it quite some time then start again. my temperature meter , the boat lookalike green color is there ? It seems I have to warm up for about 2minutes before it dissapear,any idea what could be happening ? Im using Semi Syn Honda 5w-40 oil , could that be the problem and should I use the mineral instead?cause peviously whenever i start the car,i can move as soon as i start.now this is irritating thanks This post has been edited by andrewleewaikeong: Jul 13 2011, 03:34 PM |

It's always better to warm up the car for every morning / cold start for about 5 minutes no matter what car you drive.. If you love the car / want the car to last long
Honda is more sensitive towards this warm up procedure, which is why the new City has a blue temperature icon to signify the engine is cold and requires warm up before the go Other model like Civic and Accord has the complete temperature gauge but it is still more advisible to wait for the gauge to rise to optimum temperature level before taking off the car |

QUOTE(andrewleewaikeong @ Jul 13 2011, 03:29 PM) hello guys im having problem with my honda city 3G but previously whenever i start my car,the warm up indicator is not there. it started showing lately about 2months already.i wonder how come whenever i start my engine either early in morning or after i leave it quite some time then start again. my temperature meter , the boat lookalike green color is there ? It seems I have to warm up for about 2minutes before it dissapear,any idea what could be happening ? Im using Semi Syn Honda 5w-40 oil , could that be the problem and should I use the mineral instead?cause peviously whenever i start the car,i can move as soon as i start.now this is irritating thanks nothing to do with engine oil ? |

QUOTE(kons @ Jul 13 2011, 03:56 PM) hurting tyres is fine, until we get it punctured. Dude, I think this has nothing to do with the width of the tyres.... It should be the sidewall.... 205 is the "fatness" of the tyre...to avoid getting the rim scratched that easily, just change to 205 tyre. Sidewall thin = rim scratch easily.. The original size is 55.... It's not low-profile at all.... This post has been edited by -PuPu^ZaPruD3r-: Jul 13 2011, 05:59 PM |

If you fit 205 width tyre on the original 5.5JJ rim, it will bulge outwards more than what you get from 185 width tyre. Sidewall thin = rim scratch easily.. The original size is 55.... It's not low-profile at all.... When the tyre bulge outwards more, don't you think the rims will be protected? You need scratch the tyre, real deep, before you can reach the rims, of course, unless the tyre get punctured first. |

Performance: Pick up more smooth and easily can rev high~ Allowing high airflow into an engine. In the vast majority of cases increased airflow will increase engine performance measured by horsepower and throttle response (torque). FC: If normal drive and control ur right foot sure the FC will be better abit than Ori/Stock air filter~ coz engine breathe more easily. Consider to change? |

I've got back my car ... "thanks" to our marehsia boleh pulismen ... not much damage or missing parts, except
- scratch on left side door - radio antenna gone - tyre changing kits gone - belongings inside the car gone (except umbrella & CD which is still inside CD slot) my little red book also gone missing, will that be a problem when I go service next time? the thief changed the immobilizer and ignition key in my car. I wonder if I can ask Honda to reset everything so that I can use back my old key |

Hey guys, I got some doubt. My HC is 1 year old already & I noticed that the fuel consumption increased, the engine noise/ engine knock is a bit louder & the ride is bumpier than usual (suspension problem?). The mileage is around 26k & I always service my car at honda service center. Currently using fully synthetic engine oil. So are these problems very common among HC user after 1 year???

As for bumpier ride, try to take some air out from your tyres. The SC could have pump in a little more air into the tyres. Over inflated tyres will give you bumpier ride. This is because the tyres cannot absorb the bumps if they are over inflated. This post has been edited by Thrust: Jul 15 2011, 01:36 PM |

If you want to reduce your engine noise, you can opt for thicker engine oil but since you're using Fully Synthetic which is rated at xW-40, I think it's alrite already. If you want to save more fuel, the semi synthetic engine oil which is rated at 5w-30 should do the trick. |

I find it quite easy to rev to 7k though, and of course i do it only when launching off the green light / overtaking Oh and by the way, the transmission is programmed to avoid accidental mis-shift So if you happen to press "downshift" at high rpm it wouldn't let you No harm done, rest assured |

The car just jerk to almost a halt and the car behind almost knocked into my car because there is no brake light. But I'm tried upshift to 4th gear when I'm running at 40km/h, it will not allow though. |

I installed STP hood solution last week. Info: http://stp-distribution.com/dl/manuals/STP_HOOD_SOLUTION.pdf Added on July 16, 2011, 10:39 pmI also got these 2 installed this afternoon.

What's the use of the hood solution? Does it eliminate engine noise?
I'm thinking of the UR bar too but I'm afraid it will increase the body weight and increase fuel consumption. |

I am gonna take photo of the hood tomorrow morning.I'm thinking of the UR bar too but I'm afraid it will increase the body weight and increase fuel consumption. Well, the bars sure contribute a certain amount of weight. Not too concerned about FC since I am running 17" rims. |

That is another nice feature such that when you come to a traffic stop you won't have to downshift yourself to gear 1but it is still possible to downshift and engage 'engine breaking' to further help braking the car into a complete stop. QUOTE(kons @ Jul 16 2011, 09:46 PM) Hmm. Is there such protection? I tried to shift to 1st gear when I'm still running at around 30km/h to 40km/h, it still downshift successfully. The car just jerk to almost a halt and the car behind almost knocked into my car because there is no brake light. But I'm tried upshift to 4th gear when I'm running at 40km/h, it will not allow though. Yes, haven't you read your manual? it CAN be downshift as long as the engine rpm doesn't reach the redline, so in your case you downshifted around 30km/h to 40km/h which should be around 6k+ rpm in 1st gear which is still in safe zone.. But, if you downshift and the ecu realised that particular downshift will touch the redline, it wouldn't let you The jerk you experienced is called 'engine braking', which refers to the braking effect caused by throttle position-induced vacuum in petrol engines. While some of the braking force is due to friction in the drive train, this is negligible compared to the effect from vacuum. When the throttle is lifted/closed, the air flow to the intake manifold is greatly restricted. The work the engine has to do against this partial-vacuum is what provides the braking effect. Engine braking passively reduces wear on brakes and helps a driver maintain control of the vehicle. Active use of engine braking (shifting into a lower gear) is advantageous when it is necessary to control speed while driving down very steep and long slopes. It should be applied before regular disk or drum brakes have been used, leaving the brakes available to make emergency stops. The desired speed is maintained by using engine braking to counteract the gravitational acceleration. It also helps the vehicle to slow down faster when used along with brakes.

That was to make clear so everybody could understand.more soundproofing for my nhc! Firstly, please refer to your Honda Manual on page 205 and 207. I help extract one important point for you : While driving in S mode, "You cannot downshift with the paddle shifter before the engine speed reaches the UPPER limit of the LOWER gear. If you try to do this, the gear position indicator will flash the number of the lower gear several times, then the indicator will display the higher gear number." (This is to protect the engine from over-revving and thus eliminates the risk of mis-shift) It's clear that this feature itself serve as a protection purpose, which means you can NEVER mis-shift in a NHC. "Also, you cannot upshift with the paddle shifter before the engine speed reaches the LOWER limit of the HIGHER gear." (This is for those who don't know why they couldn't upshift to higher gear at low rpm/speed) Added on July 18, 2011, 1:53 pm QUOTE(DaBestOne @ Jul 18 2011, 12:15 PM) does engine braking causes you to have higher fc?This post has been edited by shunryu: Jul 18 2011, 02:13 PM |

QUOTE(shunryu @ Jul 18 2011, 01:14 PM) Engine braking is a generally accepted practice and can help save wear on friction brakes. It's even used in some motor sports to reduce the risk of the friction brakes overheating. Additionally, most modern engines don't use any fuel while engine braking which helps reduce fuel consumption. |

Hi guys,
Need some advise from those who have the rear Spoiler installed on your NHC, especially the duck tail Spoiler (Modulo). I wonder how is the Spoiler secured on the boot?? |

I think stick with 3M tape would be the most sensible solution because you could take it out / install other design of spoilers when you see fit |

i used Methanol to cleaned it before sticking.
Still the same. Yes, the adhesive of 3M tape is damn strong. Even though it's floated at some portion but it's still damn hard to removed. I noticed that behind the 'H' badge hv 2 guide holes (for fixing the badge), i wonder if it's possible to fasten with rivets on the spoiler to the boot + DST? In that case, we dun hv to drill xtra holes to our car and much secure. |

my 2 cents:-
1) good DS tape... 3M 2) clean contact surface. clean with fast drying type alcohol, can be IPA, thinner or whatever, fast clean and not too much to avoid hurting paint. let it dry before stick. 3) warm it up before stick. use hair dryer or hot air to warm the glue side of DS tape. warm glue will have better contact and adhere strength. 4) make sure do it right in first attempt! good luck! |

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? |

nope. my i-vtec was opening all the way. went up all the RPM range to 5800, peak torque. couldn't listen to anything. one thing i can confirm is no exhaust mod. usually those aftermarket are more bassy and can cover my revving sound. no BOV. turbo. i'm not sure.
i'm pretty sure i floored it. the fastest 80-160kph i ever accelerated. LOL! well, i guess stock to stock. city cannot lose to myvi. unless the myvi is manual. then the initial part of the acceleration, myvi have the advantage. but one thing i don't understand is how the myvi can overtake so easily over 160kph. |

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?  |

QUOTE(richardt3o @ Jul 23 2011, 12:27 PM) One of my buddy dyno his car. And there was a 20% transmission loss different. Yeah... It's sad case I wonder if importing manual gearbox for NHC from thailand is possible? If not, I can only think of improving handling now.. adjustable coilovers, Ultra Racing bars, light weight rims and wider+stickier tyres |

QUOTE(richardt3o @ Jul 23 2011, 12:27 AM) 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 hey bro ,myvi pick is up is very fast.Our NHC pickup is kinda slow.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? Even a normal myvi with lil mods can reach 160 easily.But theres no way they follow us if you had did 180kmh or 190kmh..unless he mod his myvi kau kau |

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. |

Hi guys. Just wanna ask a few questions regarding the battery of a new City.
My friend collect his City last 2 weeks but yesterday, his battery indicator shows need charging. So he can't start his car and we have to jump start. For 2 weeks, the car is only moving on weekend. But he starts his car everyday, every morning for at least 10 minutes without moving. Is there an issue with the battery, alternator or he actually need to move the car? As i drive all my Protons, i don't need to move the car, running the engine is enough to recharge the battery. Since i didn't drive any City before, so i cant say much about it. Also i see the battery size is only NS40. Can change to bigger size, NS60 perhaps? Thanks in advance. |

QUOTE(richardt3o @ Jul 23 2011, 08:07 PM) bro, what's SLIPSTREAM? Slipstream is an aerodynamic effectCan anyone describe/explain to me in a bit details. What does it means by shorter gear ratio? And what does it implies. Try riding a bicycle closely behind a big car / lorry, don't you feel relaxed and not require much energy to cycle? That was because the wind resistance was blocked by the vehicle in front, so you take lesser force to accelerate Same goes to car, tailgate the car in front at high speed to create this slipstream effect.. Advantage: 1) since you take lesser force to break through wind resistance, you get LOWER fuel consumption Disadvantage: 1) vehicle in front might emergency brake...

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!  |

a kind reminder:
1) Do not park in dark places.. 2) Do not leave your bags, valuables / anything that looks suspicious in the car (even if inside boot) 3) Do not tint your car so dark that arouse theives curiousity This post has been edited by shunryu: Jul 27 2011, 08:54 AM |

LOL correct me if im wrong thanks 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. |

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

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. |

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. |

Yeah, to me i think it's betterIt's up to your individual needs and what do you expect the car to behave Because i think that i don't want to add too much weight onto the car 19mm and 4 Point front lower bar is thicker and contribute more weight Extra weight will slow down the car given the fact that our little 1.5 Litre engine doesn't have much power |

QUOTE(mcliong1 @ Aug 4 2011, 12:14 AM) whats the size??/ Last week I asked for 205/50/16 PS3 and a shop in Cheras quote me RM480.I'll try to get pictures for the V8(and FSB for those asking). I've been driving for 1k KM with the tyres. I feel the tires absorb uneven surface better, thus on the road, it feels softer than stock GY tire. However, the grip is much better especially in wet. Cornering is really good at high speed even with the softness feel. I haven't heard it slide yet but I haven't found corners that I'm comfortable with to fully test it. Noise-wise, i can't really make a conclusion about it. Sometimes i think it sounds louder, sometimes, it's quieter. Btw, here's a price list that I did through the tire survey: 205/50/16 PS3 RM480 - Cheras S Drive RM370 -Cheras Nexen n6000 RM270 - Jln Ipoh ATR Sport RM215 - Jln Ipoh V12 RM280- Tek Ming (with trade in) 195/50/16 A Drive R1 RM245 Tek Ming Sunway (with trade in) Hankook V8 - RM245 Tek Ming (with trade in) |

Nice summarized tyre pricelist there
Thanks, Irwan6179 I guess Hankook V12 is the most cost efficient Judged from the fact that its the same Max Performance category as the Michelin PS3 |

ARB front only or have it at the back as well? sorry.. noob here..Added on August 4, 2011, 11:03 pm I installed both 2 point and 4 point for RM330. Really makes a lot of difference while cornering. Before this I had front strut bar and read ARB. Tyre still screams when cornering. But with the 2 n 4 point front lower bars. Massive improvement in handling during corners. Not afraid to do high speed cornering with the front ARB bars installed. |

Where did you installed the bars at? Woah, seems like have to get at least 3 bars to really improve the handling....Bro choon, i hv installed 16mm rear arb and lower front 2 pointa for 460rm...

Don't simply change rims unless you can afford top quality japanese rims like Volk Racing, SSR, Works just to name a few...If u dobt mind, can u post your car with bew rim? I am thinking changing rim later this month.. This is because normal taiwan rims are heavy but do not have the appropriate rigidity/durability and might mess up your alignment, they could break in pieces easily especially in accident whereas the japanese ones would just bend from impact Another cheaper alternatives is to get Lenso, Advanti rims from Thailand.. As far as i know, original 16" E spec rims are made in japan Enkei |

Complained about the wind sound issue and the guy was a bit rude, saying its a saturday, they wont be doing much. i think this is the first encounter with a not very friendly service assistant ... The was told to come back weekday and he will get a mechanic to sit with and i need to drive to take it to 160km/h and if there the wind noise, then will need to leave car for 2-3 days ... Haih ... makahai! So the rest of you who had the rubber lining changed by Honda, how long did that took? |
