Hey guys, any one of you tracking your fuel consumption? I previously did it using Google Spreadsheet but then I found one of lowyat member using Fuelly (http://www.fuelly.com/). =D

Edit: Here's mine, http://www.fuelly.com/driver/cdableu/city-e-series

I've been wanting to try this, but too bad there's no app for it otherwise it will be super easy to do the data entry. Did you update the data when you get back to your computer every time?

My left light if i put on high beam it didnt turn on. Shud i go honda SC or any accessory shop will do? My car only 5months old.

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?

QUOTE(mytaffeta @ Jan 18 2013, 11:27 PM)
go for it bro, hunt for 195/55.. improve cornering w/o scarifying comfort.. haha..

What brand produce this tire size? 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 blink.gif

Do a review on the K&N filter once you have it installed yea biggrin.gif

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.

Nope..just a bulbs..consider as wear & tear. NBP is the same type 55w bulb.

BTW just read about voltage stabilizer + Grounding cable. is it neccessary to install it on our car?since many testimonies vs and gc will improve your car electricity which then make your car smoother to ride, lights brighter, aircond colder, more fuel saving, better audio from speaker, and many more. anyone here has installed it?

I don't know how much of an improvement we can get from this since our car is pretty new, but whoever did install this please do let us know..

that's damn cool bro.

btw, out of topic. I saw someone posted about Ford fiesta here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2676982

the spec is comparable to city other than not having a gear shifter. other than that, can someone enlighten me the differences between this two car?

I am feeling butthurt now...
*
Maybe test drive both car to help you decide.. Also do some research about after sales stuff like services centre location, cost for services, spare part, etc etc..

Haha nice, I'm already on my 15k this Friday.. cars only a few month old.. haha.

Just wondering what did you guys use for this compartment, its too small for a phone. Any idea what it could be use for?

user posted image

Ohh btw I just sent for my 15k services, the fully syn oil is only RM20 difference compared to the semi-syn since I got a RM10 discount coupon. Car feels a bit lighter and smoother now, feels good man. Too bad it need to service every 5k. sad.gif

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?
*
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.
*
Quite well known I supposed.. got plenty of discussion about this in the previous v7 if I recall. Mostly because the stock tyre they provided is really tiny. I was referring to the 16", for 15" I'm not too sure.

The modulo kit might work well I think, I read it in one of the city forum before. It does provide more stability so its not just for show.

My previous ride is all hatchback (satria, neo, swift) so maybe I'm not used with the wobbly feeling from a sedan? Quite noticeable when I first got the car, but now not too much.. not sure maybe I'm used to it. Hahaha.

Yes , especially overtaking lorry / smtg big, man the car suddenly become so unstable

Try and keep the 'ECO' light on for as long as you can I suppose. Haha.. if you cruise at 120km/h - 130km/h, the 'ECO' light should light up most of the time.

We need to be official member of the club to get discount, otherwise price will be RM350.

Unsure how much the price now or if still got stock, that thread is from 2010.

Why Honda extend the in.terval from 5,000km to 10,000km, not 15,000km or 20,000km?
As per stated in Shop Manual, the extension of service interval for new model is 10,000km.

So does it mean that service interval of city is extended to 10k km?
*
Eh is this confirmed. New City got extended to 10k? I'm more than happy even with only 10k not 15k or 20k.. 5k interval I had to send almost every month.. Do we need a new booklet?
