anyone experience gear d blinking and abs + brake light on? did all major service + flush engine / flush atf / change new brake pad all still same . not going back honda due to no longer warranty. any workshop outside can check with obd to recommend ?

D indicator blinking means yr gear might having a problem. Refer to the owner's manual. Advice u go to any sc to check yr transmission

previously checked, they said no problem and reset thru OBD for me. now it come back again....

Thank you!

And regarding the paddle shift in the car:

1) Can I switch to D to S while the car is moving / driving?

2) Can I switch back from S to D while the car is moving?

Will it damage / harm the gearbox?

Thank you.

1) Yes

2) Yes

Damage/harm: Not sure but I've been doing 1 & 2 lol

I think the answer is YES to both. If it's harmful to the gearbox then i think Honda would have placed the "blockage" for the switch while the car is on the move (ie. requires the brake pedal to be fully depressed before the gear can be switched)

Whatever it is, it's on a very rare occasion suddenly one will feel like driving manual. Most of the time, i would downshift only just to get that extra rev for the acceleration to overtake a car in front of me in a one lane road.

while on D, you can downshift using paddleshift also. but you need to press a lot of pedal to maintain that gear.

if u want full manual, then you shift to S.

In S it still auto shifts. The only thing is it shifts at a higher rev than D.

in S it still auto shifts???

you mean will start from 0 then go to 1 and 2 and 3 without press the paddle shifter?

Yup. I always use S when I'm in a hurry and I hardly use the shifter. It still auto shifts.

I see. Thank you for all the infos. Much appreciated.

seriously?

ok, gonna test it !

thanks for your info bro

Hi bros, anyone here using K&N filter? Does it need any maintenance like cleaning or stuff to maintain it?

yup....is S oso auto shift, until you press the paddle shifters.

agree with you.

Hi Sifu our city usb can support max how many GB ? Thanks in advanced

It just upshift at a higher rev compared to D, so move oomph and vtec pew pew power. Haha.

But once you use the peddle it won't autoshift anymore unless you move back to D.

I think need to clean every 60k if I'm not mistaken. There's a guide on youtube that teach you how to clean the filter. Need to buy the cleaning kit too.

I'm using 32GB currently, so far no problem or delay when choosing song. Not sure if can support 64GB.

Thanks. Installed it yesterday. Really improves acceleration. FC not sure yet. Need to wait next petrol refill.

To be honest, up until now i am very skeptical towards the idea of replacing air filters and gain accelerations. Improve in a very slight margin, yes but i think the effect will be minimum and most probably negligible.

Unless we are talking about changing more than just the filters.

Theoretically speaking, you have to lose some to gain some. Basic laws of physics. If indeed there is a an increase in acceleration then there's an increase in fuel consumption. I remembered some garage junkie who part owns a workshop around Sunway area told me this.

The items in which the car manufacturer gives you are actually the best there is and everything is tweaked to its optimum performance including the prescribed air filter in which will provide you with the best fuel consumption against acceleration. Any changes in either one of them would affect the balance. Thus:-

"increase air flow = more fuel burn = more power = increase fuel consumption"

The engine cannot be generating more power from air.

Another misconception some car modifiers have is that they thought by installing bodykits, it will increase the aerodynamics of the car hence reducing drag therefore better performance but little that they know, the weight these bodykits actually contributes actually cause more detriment to anything especially to those who installed super huge wings at the boot which is generally used to generate more down force to keep the car at the ground rather than making the car fly -.-

i think sumone has post it here. it will autoshift due to rev limiter so it won't damage the engine. sumting like that. huhu
