I can only think of putting my parking card there. I can't find a place in car to fit my phone (note 2)

Using 0w-20 now, and can't feel any difference

I changed mine for Panasonic costed me RM160 only due to shop was closing permanently and did stock clearance.. Normal price would around RM200 .. I am not quite sure ..

by the way guys, anyone knows where can I change brake pad for NHC? The SC quoted me around RM700 for both, rear and front .. Seems a little overprice .. Any recommendation? I am in klang, cyberjaya. puchong, shah alam. Any in this area would be good. .

Advisable to install drop-in k&n filter after how many km? Just got my car this week and planning to change to k&n. Any of u who are using k&n filter have trouble when sending car for service with honda SC?

any outside good service of our city, beside the overpriced SC? kepong area.

I got my K&N filter after the 1000km service. Imho i would recomend any mods after the 1000km service cos thats when they check if the car is ok or not.
During service i just tell them not to change the airfilter. Did my 15000km service few weeks ago and havent had any trouble regarding the filter

Thanks! This helps a lot Anyone can recommend good workshop in Ampang area which sells this filter?

Anyone interested to replace their stock muffler on their Honda City 5G with a plug and play muffler from HKS? Please click this link. for more info.

Here are some videos of the muffler in action.

Revving




Hard acceleration


Normal driving

do you have specific brand to hunt for? or still no idea?

Going to do my 15K servicing anytime next week, what did they change for the 15K service and how much does it cost?
Thanks.

no idea mate .. as long as better than stock break pad, I am ok ..

i would recommend pumatec, it bite a lil bit better than stock with very less dust..

less than 200, normal service; oil filter and semi-synt oil..

Thanks. Rang the SC to fix an appointment, initially was told major service but counter them with your info, they check and confirmed normal service.

What after market brake pad brand better for our Honda City 5G? Change to OEM from Honda Stockist but performance are so disappointing. When hot with lot of braking, got steel rubbing sound, so damn loud. No sound if it cold. Make me feel so damn shy to brake. I know Pumatec 480 is good, but can't find any for our Honda City, if anyone can find it, please let me know. PM me or post it here. Looking STRICTLY for Pumatec 480 as Pumatec 500 ceramic is known for eating the disc rotor. Thanks in advance.

anyone experiencing this "rust" on the rear brakes? i initially asked the SC and they told me it's normal and i also went and check another 2 Honda City (just in case) and found that they too have this "rust.

is this a case of manufacturer defects on batches or what =/

there is Vmag motorsport in Sri Damansara Sector B near Kepong. The owner is Chan, used to work at authorized Honda SC. Most of his customers are from the old authorized Honda SC *point self*

Hi all, currently driving the latest 5.5G City.
quite happy with all the driving ,

just lately i figured that when im travelling by North South highway, KL to Johor.
when im doing 110-130km/h cruising, the car just wont go straight, there is a invisible force suddenly pull or drag your car to either right or left. Is there any problem?
I try on normal highway i use to work, cruise at 110-130 as well, no problem. But this has happened so many times in NSE already.

I strongly think that it is caused by the wind turbulences, everytime i pass by a car or a car pass by me by high speed, my car immediately feel unstable.
Well, then i also try 150-160km/h on NSE, the invisible force comes again, this is really weird and i will check on my next visit to service.

Any sifu here comment on this? Is this matter relates to any parts that related to Suspension? Bush?

Or it is normal for honda city? maybe this car is belong to B segment and we are supposed to cruise at 100km/h ????

also, did some test on NSE. release my hand abit to test. If the aliignment is off, the car will slightly off direction by little.

But for my case, the allignment is fine, the car go straight all the way, but all of sudden, it will go left or right by quite much in a sudden.

well it happened to me as well... the car move slightly to the left lane when if one hand hold the steering(need proper grip to counter drag), well, this highway known for bumpy road and windy area..this happen only when i drive from melaka to kl, but from kl to melaka..i can just poofff to 140,160km easily without pull or drag....

Are you still using the stock tyre? The car is known to have the wobbly feeling at 120kmph especially if you drive around windy area or if you overtake a lorry or something huge. You can do several thing to help stabilise the car.

1. Change to wider tyre (195/50) or (205/45).. take note this will reduce comfort.. butt hurt a bit. Haha.
2. Install the modulo bodykit and spoiler
3. Install anti oll bar (not sure which bar will help the most, got many type I think, sifu please correct me)
4. Do Autofoam treatment to chassis (autofoam.net)

I did 1, 2 (just spoiler) and 4.. I can feel the car is more stable now at high speed but your mileage may vary.

Feel free to correct me, not an expert but just from my experience.

wow bro! thanks for the info!!

Issit already well known for wobbly feeling at 120kmph? and not my suspension problem ya?

I've slightly upgraded my tyre to 185-60-15 Potenza tyre.
for S spec 15 inch.
your recommendation - 195-50 , 205-45 is refer to 15 inch or 16 inch bro? if 15 inch , any reocmmendation?


for number 4- just my personal opinion - City chasis is stiff enough, i guess the problem wont be the chasis stiffness , it should be something to deal with the Air Turbulences so aerokit might work.
