actually should be v12 becoz we overloaded the old one

anyone interested in bulk buy for fully syn engine oil and gear oil?

probably next year after cny.
hm probably use year end and cny excuse to clear stock for 8gen model.

nothing solid.
just information leaked from SA as he ALREADY wants me to trade up from my 2009 car

you can but it will be difficult.
more easy to just call honda hq to complain about this dealer about the delays than go to another dealer and go thru the whole process again.

now u must join gen8

true even if you pick a car with vast amounts of parts like civic also will sometimes make your pocket hurt if the seller is evil.

i think the mechanic did a shoddy job just wanting to sell you the alu rad.
he should also check the pipes and any connectors to find out why metal pieces are being distributed to your rad.

imho if your engine is running smooth now don't change it coz majority of the b16's especially the cheap ones will have had a tough time during the rice boy era 5-7 years back.

cost:
i just paid for my 2009 model insurance and roadtax.
cost me 2.2k (300 plus for roadtax rest of insurance).

performance:
stock 1.8 you will definitely feel you're driving a more powerful and stable car.
your city i know is capable of going 140-150km/h
civic can do that without breaking a sweat and without the wind noise and feels alot more stable.

fuel consumption:
where your city has good pickup and good fuel consumption for town driving and traffic jams.
civic won't be like that.
you won't get the 500km plus per tank you're used to getting from your honda city.
you'd still get upper 450km per tank which is quite good considering the extra horsepower you're getting.

parts:
i suggest you get oem parts since the car is warranty over.
the cost will be much more bearable, however it will cost you abit more than the city.

Added on October 31, 2011, 11:45 pmi think you can do this few things:

1. carbon clean your engine.
2. aftermarket air filter replacement / pod-type if u dun mind the noise.
3. performance exhaust change (extractor-mid pipe-muffer all must go).

that will help your machine breath better should be better response, but i dunno how much HP increase that would be coz it depends on the parts used, don't goto kedai cap ayam and put junk do some research and get the good stuff at a bargain.

if you're traffic outstation you'd get 550 or abit more from the civic, depends on how you "speed" .

i can't really tell anymore since i've put in 18" rims all the calculations kaput liao

190km/h in city i've tried that before from johor to kl.
takes a long time to get 190km/h.
i've done 206km/h on civic even without notice it while driving from cyberjaya to klia. u don't need a long straight to go 180km/h with civic, u need for city

i hear it is power window.
u gotta ask the owners.
coz mine is 2009 FL model.

i learn lowballing from lowyat wts

well even if you satisfied with his offer and the car why not try to get it cheaper?
i mean there are many sellers out there and not many buyers with cash to buy a car 20k ++
he knows that.
so complain about everything u can eventhough u know it will be cheap to fix.
get the cheapest price.
then welcome to VTEC brotherhood

u oso wan VTEC?

well if thats his kinda attitude before you buy then better find another seller.
if got any problem it looks like this guy won't care.
