I say the new 2012 Civic looks much better in real life compared to the photos I've seen before the launch.

Saw one white color on the Plus highway last night as I was driving back to KL.

woo... autofoam increase price summore ar... Desmond from KL Auto really rolling in dough...

not too sure how bad is it, but I'm sure you can find a tire shop that will be able to repair it.

IMHO, I think it's not worth it, just change to aftermarket rims next time once you are bored of the stock one (assuming u still using stock rims).

I've learn to live with minor scratches, dings, etc, etc on my car. No matter how hard you try you're bound to get it sooner or later.

Mine a 7th generation and it makes the hissing sound also. So I guess it's normal. Ask the SC the next time you sent for servicing if you are still unsure.

It should be active, it will constantly monitor individual wheel speed and braking.
If it detects the wheel locking up, it will trigger. Otherwise you won't know it's there.

If your ABS malfunction you should get an ABS light on the dashboard. Then your brakes will just work like normal non-ABS car.

For those of you that are very rev happy, do get the engine oil and oil filter changed at least at 3000 or 5000km. Just a recommendation. Honda engines are generally quite robust, it's the other parts that normally fail.

My personal opinion...

Petronas --> Ok

Shell --> The worst petrol ever in Malaysia IMHO. Even the current V-power is crap

Esso --> I like the RON97, the least knocking ever.

Caltex --> Used to be my favorite, but doesn't seem to be compatible anymore after my engine compression was increased.

BhP --> Ok

Speaking from my own experience... dun bother to get stuff from the SA, they just outsource it to the accessories shops and get a cut of the profit.

Ownself settle la.. once u get the car.

void warranty for whatever parts that was changed normally... If you change your audio player, that one warranty void for the original head unit. Other things not related like seat, door panel, engine, etc still under warranty.

pretty normal... certain tires + certain road condition = loud noise
just curious, your previous car dun have similar problem?

Michelin normally soft compound, Yokohama I guess should be similar.... premium tires normally perform better.

I think the worst time i had was on the Plus highway on the stretch towards Johor after Ayer Keroh toll.... using concrete instead of tarmac... damn 2$#%@#$^ loud

7 years owning 2 Honda cars and still modding... Lol

You mean speed limiter??

Why the heck you wanna install speed limiter? People all wanna remove it.

No matter that the SA promise you, make sure if they promise so called Honda install it's done by the Service Centre (you will not get factory install) and not by outside accessories shop.

SA promise anything to make a sale.. their so called Honda install is done by outside accessories shop before deliver to customer.

Easy stop putting money into their own and cronies pocket sure gamen got lots of money one...

Anybody know where can find the RPM vs torque vs HP curve of the new Civic ?

There is always the option of turbos and superchargers for those who needs more pooowwwaaahhhhhh....
As long as it's a popular model in the market, there will be bolt on kits developed for it.

We already have supercharged CR-Z on the street today. 200hp on wheel if not mistaken.

Someone will probably find out how to stuff a K20 or K24 into it.. But I think for sure lots of cutting and welding involved.

Too true.. I guess with time and money.. Lots of it... You can also stuff in Brembo brakes, stiffer suspension and toughen up the body.

anyway as a DD car I never liked the super stiff suspension of the Type-R on our roads.
