hello all, im using city facelift and already changing to 17" wheel 7jj front and 8jj rear with altenzo sport comforter tyre 205/45/17. first impression is, a little bit bumpy than before and yea, people say changing to 17 will sacrifice comfort. FC consumption not so noticeable for me, haha. but have a long braking distance than before due to heavier wheels and tyre, thinking to add some lower spring to minimise the bumpy case. just sharing my experience.

I'm drooling for some pictures, thanks for sharing. I knew other things would need to be upgraded to go with the 17". careful with the stop distance though. let's not wreck this beauty. a lot of user pointed out the sacrifice for comfort when converting to a thinner tire for 17" rim and upgrading the suspension would compensate things back.

I did change to 17" with Toyo T1R tyre when I got the car. So, I dont really notice the different but seems my car is 2 years old with mileage of 75k KM, I am thinking of changing suspension.  . Any recommendation?

I think light bulb is considered awear and tear part so its not under warranty, but 5 month old is a bit too soon for it to spoilt.. maybe get them to check the fuse as well?

You really tempted me to replace my 50 profile tyre. haha.

Just want to share. Got my E Polished Metal on Oct which SA give me free full modulo bodykit+tinted+coil mat+door visor+steering lock. 1st thing i added to my ride is Lochtect brake lock for more security. Then bought Osram Night breaker plus since i drive a lot at night as realized stock osram bulbs are not really bright. Now reaching 5000km and just ordered K&N drop in air filter (some said to will make the car more responsive which i intend to drop it in after 5k km service). Btw just realized the power socket (cigarette socket) is not functioning after i tried to used car vacuum. Wait to check it during my 5k service.
Anyhow for 5k km service i just wondering whether to change to semi or fully synthetic engine oil. any suggestion? for RM40 eservice voucher. do we need to print on paper or just show my phone sms to SC?

How is the Osram Night Breaker at night? I also find the stock bulb is quite dim at night, sometimes even need to check twice since its like I'm not turning the knob all the way to turn on the headlight Do a review on the K&N filter once you have it installed yea  I think just stick with semi-syn since we need to service every 5k anyway and not 10k.

Osram NBP is much better especially on high beam. the range is longer than stock bulb. on dark road u'll get clear vision. btw if im not think of warranty ill change engine oil outside with better engine oil.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll add that to my next purchase list as I frequently travel at night as well. Yeah, pretty sure Honda will say it will void your warranty if you change engine oil outside. Maybe try and ask them if you can bring in your own oil? Last time using Swift, certain service centre will allow it. Not sure about Honda policy.
