i rather absent rear aircond vent :/..most of the time i am driving alone

i have a lady friend driving over 20k km and yet to service her car

Very nicely fit together now. Now i know where to bring my car if i got gap issue. My car arrived but pending plate transfer.

RM210 for JPJ and RM25 Puspakom for interchange plate.

Other fee = RM200 for new car registration and RM90 roadtax (This portion will be given by your SA cause they have included this as part of the car total cost)

I also paid RM210 (if not mistaken) to choose a new nicer number to put on my old car since i am not selling off.

On top of that, you can only retain old number plat to unreg car. New number will go to your old car.

I did not get runner to do it because i want to experience and learn the process.

I heard they won't do any servicing for the first 1,000km. Can we demand them to do it (We will pay for the labour/oil/etc)

Can you share the SC? I would like to go there if my SC refuse to change. I rather spend abit to change rather than drag to 10k km.

since the service can drag to 10k, better to go full syn.

0w-20 and 5w-40

0w-20 is better for city day to day drive. Now got to see which SC allow to change oil for the first 1,000km.

celsiuz, apology cause i didnt make myself clear. 0w-20 is good for long distance too and it designed for normal driving style. 5w-40 is more suitable for performance oriented. If you check out Honda website, you will noticed they dont recommend 0w-20 for Civic Type R. I am in assumption that the civic type R driver might drag the rpm above 4-5k rpm since it is manual. Any gurus out there please correct me if i am wrong.

Kinda frustrated if SC refused to change even if we are willing to pay.

Correction, my SA (Weststar) told me they will change engine oil if customer wanted to but by default they won't because not required.

Okay this is what I manage to find out..

Why should I wait to change the oil the first time?

Your Honda engine was delivered with an oil that is specially formulated for new engines that have not yet developed their "natural" wear patterns and may contain minute particles from the manufacturing process.

American Honda strongly recommends this special oil be left in the engine long enough for these wear patterns to develop, usually until the first maintenance interval specified in your Owner's Manual, based on your specific driving conditions.

thanks for clearing up. hahaha..we are a bunch of old timers that got brainwashed to change at first 1,000km..darn

@Thrust - please enlighten us on the engine oil

@Matrix - http://owners.honda.com/help/faqs

@Thrust - I don't rev that high but I would categorize myself as fast driver (Not crazily fast but most of the time i am doing 130-150kmh) on highway. Based on your explanation, the "red" one would serve me better? I don't mind to pay slightly more for long term protection

@boydnhl - I spent about RM60 bucks to bypass. Now can play video/waze without the need to pull handbrake. Did it at Welldone @ Sg Besi as recommended by one of the City kaki

Actually i am being told by Welldone Workshop staff that they cut the wire also. I didnt watch how they do it but they said there is no other way besides cut, connect with new wire and ground it "somewhere". I told them someone recommended me to see them because they "tap" the wire but again they told me cut. I am not sure what he meant by cut but whoever go there again please clarify further. I just dont want to bother much and go ahead because having to pull handbrake to play video is a big turn off.

Worst case, if the HU kaput, just got to eat up the cost.

I am thinking whether to visit EA this weekend to do basic soundproofing and add Match Processor. My second car did 2 layers soundproofing on 4 doors and couple with Memphis Audio Speakers. Sound quality for City is alright but i m missing the "umpph" i get from my second car.

I saw Howie did some upgrading on Altis 2014. Not sure how much that will cost me :/

+1800 is for?

The sound system for new city is alright for stock car but i think i am overly particular with music/noise.

Don't think i want to do floor. 4 doors help a lot already. If you turn on music loud, noise will bounce inside your door and create resonance. Soundproofing around this area will help with the sound and add extra kick to the bass.

This weekend project - Tint. If got enough time want to visit EA for some poison. Sunday maybe go survey new rim. I want to change to PS3 tyre but there isn't any size for our ori rim.
