i got my touchup kit here... Ezytouchup

good for minor chips n dented paints ... delivery up to my doorstep...

Remember to select the correct colour for the faceplate.. cuz FL City has darker shade.. below is an example of pre FL using FL panel unit.. looks weird



For branded double din players, most that i survey cant support our AUX and USB/IPOD ... means if change to the double din proper ones, then the ori AUX and USB need to be sacrificed. Sounds abit wasted, luckily most can retain the steering volume control though. So do take note to get those that can use back our ori AUX n USB ..

ya those Caska, Adayo and etc which was custome for City can be used, but those like Pioneer, Nakamichi, Philips, Sony double din ... those are the ones that might not be compatible.

It is possible since its a simple 4pin USB port... just that we need to diy wired the 2pins to the power source then it will be good to go. But that would be abit hassle and some DIY soldering work. Plus the connector to HU is abit diff, so its kinda hard to plug n play to those branded units also except nid solder n rewiring to the output usb given. All can say is a hassle of work lol ...

Theorically it doesnt vote any warranty, but to play it safe Honda SC might void your electrical wirings if they are finding something to blame for. I think better wait for after warranty only install the foglights to avoid any hassle.

How's the comfortability and bumpiness ?

i changed to Accord horn, the horn sound is slightly louder and more bass into it as our ori horn is more one the 'chicken' horn side. Not as loud as PIAA or Hella but changing the horn is easy as it is plug and play for ori Accord horn. I think lowyat garage got a guy selling it, you can try find there.

Here is a video recorded by our TS Earl-ku, you can compare the diff and see if you like it. If wan louder then of coz PIAA or Hella

nope i bought mine while i was out to China for business trip. Went to Honda 4S center nearby that time. No need to remove bumper, just need to force the horn in.. might need some pushing but the bumper is flexible. Mine is the preFL, the FL version i not sure ...

ya i think so but you can purchase the horn and just bring to any acc shop help you to install. If you are doing other stuffs with the shop, i think they will waive the labour charge.

Buy the new meter and change it, its plug and play...

so how all your cacing help contribute to ?

3 services of eco full syn due to discounts, then latest service gone back to semi-syn ... noticed that City really suited for semi-syn.. the power is more agrresive and more eager to move. in full-syn eco my car felt like a lazy bump and like dun wanna move when accelerate on standstill.

Yes, you can switch back and forth between conventional, semi-synthetic, and full synthetic as much and as often as you wish. The "once you switch to synthetic you can never return" ultimatum is a myth. While some synthetic oils do contain special detergents and additives to maximize performance, none of them are capable of altering the molecular composition of your engine to require it to continue to need synthetic oil forever. They simply lubricate your engine, and lubricate much longer and more efficiently. Hence if you plan to use full synthetic, then wait for a few cycles for the additives to maximize the performance. I tried it, and are not keen on it so reverting back to semi.

Moreover the 0w-20 is more of a low viscosity semi-synt rather than a full fledge syntehtic oil.

The thiness is the key to get a better mileage, hence all hybrids are using this 0w-20. Should be good enough as long one doesnt rev hard their car always can go for 0w-20. Been using it for 3 cycle services that is since August 2012 up till my last change and the engine still sounds and works healthy, the vicosity will still protect our engine internals but with hard reving constantly would wear out the thin vicosity so need to drive slow slow relax relax when using 0W-20 lol.

FC surely better but by abit with the sacrifice of acceleration aggresiveness, i think w-20 is suitable for light pedal uses with less hard rev ... just normal relax drive would do.

unfortunately most new Honda cars doesnt provide panic button anymore, even when we lock-unlock our cars also no option to enable the sound

the law is on the central locking, cuz as far as for the honda cars that i drove at China and UK also doesnt have panic button. Not sure what is the rational behind this.

bad news, we cant just change the led as the outer clear plastic for the meter cluster is coloured. For pre FL its coloured as transparent orange while the FL is transparent blue. Either change the whole cluster and yes its plug and play with no modifications or wirings needed but the odo will depends on the meter you change. As the mileage memory is all stored in the meter itself.

Here you go

front position/driving light = T10
boot lamp = T10
main brake light = T20
3rd brake light = T20
rear driving red light = T10
reverse light = T20
front/side/rear signal light = T10 T20 for front & rear, T10 for side signal (NHC-S).

Strongly not recommend to replace with LED type on front/rear side because:
(1) Not bright enough
(2) LED will cause lower resistance error and will make the 'tik tak' sound abnormal fast when signal to left/right

shouldnt be a problem cuz just the signal light when change to led will tend to be abit weird with all the tik tak sounds going abnormal.

wait till over 10k then should improve marginally. Try control your footing by accelerate and release it while cruising, use paddle shifters when really needed. Cuz last time i drive vios also pedal all the way but city cannot pedal like vios else FC lagi naik ..lol

my car 65k already ... RM60 takes me 450km last weekend cruising from KL to JB with speeding and main paddle shifers once a while. Ok la, FC will get better once the mileage catch up.
