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.

just did my 60k service which includes flushing the ATF ... includes 9L of ATF which they say is that much as they use a machinese to flush, but of the 9 only 4 will go into the gear box ...

is the flushing really necessary? as 9L x 33 per L, thats 270+ just the ATF and another RM55 ATF flush service

service for 60k is about 650+ and this is without the air filter change as i am changing to k&n ...

wow... 650? like a conti dy..

Bros..please allow me ask a technical question..
what meaning of DBW ya? drive by wire..just curious and seek some si fu here for more understanding...
beside, I found that CITY, once u in low speed like 20kmh+ turning into junction, and accerelate, the RPM stil that low and like no shift to low gear and remain higher gear such as shift 3...I never feel this before for another car, normally will drop to low gear one.

Hi brothers and sisters..

I just bought HC 4G, i-dsi '08.. would love to join the club..

warmest regards to all of you..

bro earl, can you share the receipt? im about to send my car for 60k next month..

Bro, say if we change to Pioneer or Kenwood, obviously the AUX and USB will no longer being used right, but do you think we can keep the USB port for charging phone? Basically keep the port powered so can use to charge phone.

60k is major service but even from Honda site is only 560+, without filter should be cheaper.. so the extra 5L of ATF oil is just being used for cleansing?

Maybe try and call other SC and find out if they charge the same?


Not sure also but I'm used to DBW car.. huhu. Manually down-shift then pressed hard loh.. powaahhh!!

Joking aside, but maybe because of the shift lock mechanism? Wait for sifoo to answer later..

Welcome to the club mate any plan to mod your ride

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.

You can, but I wouldn't advise you to.
#1, you'll need the fog lights to begin with. Original honda part for that not cheap. Last i remember, almost 1k
#2, you need the bumper with the cut out.
#3, wiring harness
#4, you'll need the switch. For old City and Jazz no problem cause fog light switch used to be on the dashboard panel the 3 empty switch holes there. for new city/jazz, it's on the lights/indicator stalk.

So unless you are willing to spend this much on getting foglights and with proper installation, it's just not worth it. Personally, i wouldn't waste my time and money with those shops that just cut out a space and put on any button at the dashboard switch board.

And also, original foglight shines to the corners. it doesn't shine straight. you wouldn't miss it. better u invest in DRL than to retrofit fog lamps.


Btw, I think i owe someone some pictures of my NHC with crystalvision on both lowbeam and fogs right? hHAHA
post later tonight. tomorrow labour day. got more time on my hands tonight.

forgot where i heard, but it's not good to flush your transmission.
a simple drain, and refill will do. when u drain the ATF, whatever loose bits of metal will follow it. now, imagine after draining, you flush the transmission. whatever sediments leftover, will just be washed around the entire transmission.
unless you really have a transmission problem, tell them don't need to flush. just drain and replace the ATF will do.
same goes for the engine flush nonsense. You have a oil filter and u change oil regularly for a reason. there should be no need to flush an engine.

Service center gimmick to make more money from u. they can say longer labour, and use more ATF. labour itself you should know the SC don't charge cheap. imagine they plug that machine for 30 mins, they will charge u. and is the guy even there working on your car? no. just the machine running.

first batch of FC city 2012 owner, Tyre almost gone naked and thinking to change a bigger wheels....

Is 17" too loaded for 1.5L city?

True ... kena edy ...

Ah damn I thought simple DIY. Haha.. such a waste la if change HU the USB no longer can use.

mod? just done with sport rims & tyres.. changed to 16" size right after i got the car.. LoL.. other mods maybe next month or the following months.. lots $$ "terbang" this month.. hahhahaaha

some shop said can fit 17".. but i'm afraid that it may hit the "daun pisang".. thats why i just take 16" last week.. huhu..
but this is just my point of view.. maybe sifus here have better understanding than me..

Haha! I juz changed mine on last weekend also. 16" sport rims + 205/45 profile tyre. Improve a lot the stability in corner n high cruising speed. As for FC, no different so far.
Bro, wat tyre n profile u use?

IMO, 17" is ok for our city juz choose the lighter rims will do. For me, 16" Ngam Ngam for me with 215 tyre.

Ermm 205/45 interesting, how about the car height? Is it lowered a bit compare to the stock? Or same? Ur absorber n spring are standard rite?

Btw 205/50 is it ok for our city? Ada kene itu daun pisang/ mud flap ka?
