QUOTE(takeshiru @ Jul 2 2013, 02:02 AM) Erm...me long way before i change...got a few Thousand left...yea will go to kaki motor..their prices are competitive and they are the official distributor...bro ceratec is consider cheap compare to torco friction reducer which cost rm90..which the effect will fade off after the 1st few thousand kms...hmm...go for 5W30 or 5W40...not much difference but higher the End value the thicker it is when hot..better protection but heavier throtter...ask the guy u wana get it from..see wat they say? 5W30 is full syn bro.. no MOS2 some more..  i got 3k left for next service.. lol.. i'll try semi-syn 10W40 as the shop selling this oil dont carry 10W30. the mech said due to our hot temp now, 40 is the best choice. quite trustable shop, all car servicing there are bmw and merc..

QUOTE(samwjy @ Jul 7 2013, 08:53 PM) Hi Guys, just got my City , looking to get a modulo kit (PP material) outside. Wonder where to get a good deal? Suggestion? Afraid getting cheap "self-claimed" PP material ended up it's ABS. Can't differentiate both materials by looking right? Thanks for the help in advance! https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1522650&hl=highly recommended seller.. original PP with 2 years warranty.. his shop is in PJ, price slightly higher but quality guaranteed..

QUOTE(MoNnY @ Jul 16 2013, 11:42 AM) E spec rim can fit 205. A lot of us are doing that. But bro, if you wanna replace tyres, please do all 4. and from then, rotate more frequently so you will have even tyre wear. BlackWoods, What kind of brake noise are you talking about? high speed above 100km/h whirring noise when you brake? or low speed? or crawling? if crawling, then the sound was there since day 1..

Well bro the brand is hard to come by...got lucky only...try sticking to Rear antiroll bar by UR but dont go over 16mm unless you don't have sensitive ears like me who can hear any freaking vibration of the car... thats just my experience...maybe different batch cars got different outcomes... wah got vibrate noise then jual to me..  joking bro! haha anyway i dont notice any weird vibration sound (maybe it covered with all those rattling sound.. lol)

QUOTE(shaniandras2787 @ Jul 20 2013, 03:29 PM) Quick question, how do you guys deal with morning dew? My car is parked in a covered car park area on the weekdays but i don't really have the luxury of doing so in the weekend when i go over to my girlfriend's house where i sometimes have to parked it outside overnight where the morning dew would settle on it. I understand that morning dew have a bad effect on the car paint but how you guys deal with it without giving the car a thorough wash? just splash with tap water will do..

QUOTE(kucingfight @ Jul 25 2013, 06:20 PM) Finally book s spec city.mostly wife will b driving,so don really need paddle shift etx. 9k discount,but have to wait after raya.hopefully the registration period is extended. looking forward our 1st new car....(non protong/pelodua)  bro kucing, seriously.. go for at least E spec! u will regret taking S in long run, not only paddle shift.. there is a lot which the xtra 5k is very worth it.. speaker, VSA, tray under back seat, ESP (S dont have this and it is very important), side mirror, fog lamp, rim.. and i think E+ also worth it.. 2.5k for tint and double din.. if you hve the budget go for E.. how much discount for E and E+ respectively?

QUOTE(MGM @ Jul 26 2013, 07:28 PM) Sorry to hear that but even during that time when E+ was introduced at rm93800, E was going for ~rm88k. Read somewhere in this forum, somebody was in similar situation as you and his SA reimbursed him ~rm3k if my memory doesn't fail me. wow.. his SA so kind one..

QUOTE(ZeneticX @ Jul 28 2013, 07:40 PM) just installed VS + GC from erictioh those looking to enhance your ride further can consider it, very worth investment for just RM280. headlight dimming when aircond compressor kick in become less frequent and the effect is less, audio quality improved, instrument cluster seems more bright, and most important the pick up is much smoother now, no more jerking feeling another problem eliminated from stock condition is hard start up, according to eric himself is because of the poor stock grounding in our car. eh when you bought from ericteoh? i've been using for 3weeks now.. all u said is exactly what i experience too.. what i see the VS improve the most is aircond, i feel the air is much colder than before.. but headlight dimming still happen right? but not too obvious as before.. i thought this dimming will gone..

QUOTE(ZeneticX @ Jul 31 2013, 08:38 PM) any1 ? or just let me know what kind of bulbs our car use for the headlights, and also the engine oil spec. HC3 already dead ? heard the founder and owner already sold his car and moved oversea, that's why the club went inactive. anyway i used to follow the postings in the forum last time, but that time the car is not owned by me, so i cant make any of those mods you guys did to your cars. but now my mom passed the car to me, but the forum went dead, so I went to HCOC instead, another city club. but that club focused on all honda city models and range, not as good as what HC3 did last time try installing voltage stabilizer + grounding cable, will solve the gear sluggish problem. i recommend the one from erictioh, just search his name and you will find his vs and gc thread. RM170 for vs and RM110 for gc. headlight is using H4 type.. 10W30 for mineral, 5W30 for semi..

QUOTE(silverarrows @ Aug 1 2013, 10:40 AM) hi bro yeah lo no $$ to change VW haha..invested many gadgets in my ride hard to let go, the car also does not give me any problem (but FC is a bit high now compared to new) so just hang on it. Yeah I also wondering what are the parts they gonna change in 100K service, gonna prepare RM1K for it. @.@ Even now is already off warranty, still go back to Honda SC, if you were me, you go service outside or SC? my warranty will void in 3 months time.. plan to service outside for 5k interval and back to honda SC for major service like 20k or 40k..
