it's it true JPJ ban the use of auto brek lock since October?

I'm collecting my Honda City tomorrow. Polished metal is the color.

Going to send it for tinting (opting for black, or grey) for all sides except for the back I will do a double layer (to reduce the glare from cars using high beam).

I want to install the new grill and a central lock (either rpm or pedal lock), I wonder how much these cost?

I agree with the heavy feel to the car's acceleration. Is it due to its heavier weight compare to other sedan in it's range? Need some data for comparison.

Otherwise, I wonder if it's because the car kicked in a gear lower than it should when we needed the boost? However the fact remains that the engine is considered small for the size it's enclosed in.

Other than it, the car feels quite solid doing 130km/hr but what can you expect from a 1,500?

Wonder if anyone can shed some light over tire size such as 195 vs 185 and 55 vs 50?

I want to ask about the USB port. I tried using a few pen drive and I can't seem to play my mp3 files. You guys having this problem?

That is correct. It's formatted to FAT32. I tried 32GB and 8GB. Doesn't work on both. Came out "DEVICE" on the panel.

I'm doing 400km for RM55-RM58. I travel from to though.

My range will clock 1,000km by Friday this week. Perhaps its because of the new engine and me travelling on the highway.

That's a good insight. Some of the mp3 files does come in 320k format. I removed them, going to try again.

If you use 17" rim, doesn't it limit your turning radius, causing your tire to rub against the wall?

I am too looking forward to getting a larger rim but did not think about it since that was what I was advised by Honda.

Ah cool, so for 17" rim, the best tire profile to go while maintaining maximum wheel diameter will be 205/45/R17. What will be the 17" profile to fit the 205/45/R17 tire?

I managed to solved the pen drive issue. It is caused by custom allocation size being more than 8k byte per unit. Higher than that and the player will not be able to read anything, too low and your songs might take too long to be indexed.

mind me asking the difference between the two rim size?

I found the problem to be caused by using higher allocation file size, more than 8k bytes, when formating.

I changed the default allocation file size to a higher size to increase transfer rate but any allocation size higher than 8k bytes is not compatible with the car player.

I notice there's a maximum level for volume no matter how high you continue to increase it. If you continue to increase the volume from level 25 onward, there's not much difference from 35. Prevents user from destroying their speakers and their hearing I guess...

Hi guys, know anywhere I can get a good polish in KL? Asking on behalf a friend. Thanks in advance.

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

Yes, I posted the link, you can input using the android app right away. The app is HTML5 base.

I am already tracking mine. Just click on the link and you can see my profile.

I'm drooling for some pictures, thanks for sharing. I knew other things would need to be upgraded to go with the 17". careful with the stop distance though. let's not wreck this beauty. a lot of user pointed out the sacrifice for comfort when converting to a thinner tire for 17" rim and upgrading the suspension would compensate things back.

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...

I am interested too and from what I see, I think it does not void your car's warranty.

I also found this accessory called hapticSTART (http://www.i-ets.com/index.php/menu02/0202) that allows you to go key-less for both door lock and starting your car's engine. It seems to allow you to do what Po-40 does but I am not sure if it also folds your side mirror. From the installation video available from their website (http://www.i-ets.com/index.php/menu02/0202/020201/02020103)*, it seems like the installation process will void your car's warranty. The company that manufactures the product is i-ETS and is located in Korea (http://www.i-ets.com/). I only manage to find the product selling from a Singapore website called WoW! Gadgets (http://www.wowgadgetshop.com/#!__hapticstart).

*please use Firefox or IE to load the site as it requires the use of flash which Chrome do not have.

If you notice, the Singapore website selling hapticSTART also sells the smartCARD accessory where hapticSTART also provides the same function. The first time I saw it, I was confused too. The only difference is the shape of the remote between this two system and smartCARD is only for your car's door lock system.

The disadvantage that hapticSTART and smartCARD faces when compared to Po-40 is that Po-40 is a plug-and-play device and does not seem to void your car's warranty.

Please correct me if I am wrong. hapticSTART seems darn cool though, but I guess right now I am more interested in getting the Po-40 until my warranty ends. XD
