Tiptronic? Not bad....

IMHO i think FTOs are the type of cars that only an owner would love. To me i think it is very hard to mod the car in terms of looks and style. Quite similar to the Fiat Coupe. Some hate the bug eye others like me think its exotic.

I've seen a lot of un-successfull mods on the FTO. I'd go for a nice set of 2 pcs rims with some ofset, maybe from Work, lowered, and a good paint job. Nothing fancy....simple is the best for me

Mivec engine rite? i've never driven one. Whats the max rpm rev its reputed to go up to? 8k? I occasionally drive a Suzuki Swift with a Cultus rally engine transplant and it goes up to abt 7.5k rpm, is the feeling the same?

anyways...congrats on the new car and hope to still see u posting in the Honday City forum.

Cheers

U know after reading the above....i was thinking abt de first reason WHY i bought a city.

1.Why? coz my wife said she liked the car....

2.Saves fuel...and its a honda...

3.Good value for money

4.New car mar...

Now me? i dun care abt new cars....i love 2nd hand ones just alright...

To me, i tot damn, its fugly....first impression counts and to me it was fugly at first sight....

After driving it for sometime it sorts of grows on u...ITS STILL ugly to me stock standard and yes mine is still stock standard...

If i had my way....i'd get a Benz 300se circa 1980s and slap on some AMG rims, lowered with air suspension, leather seats for the back and the front bucket seats....ahhhh TOTAL BLISS (my dream car la...)

For me, a car without 16 inchers or 17 is fugly hahahaha, for me rims makes the most difference in how the car looks next to the ride height....coz it goes hand in hand. It still looks like a tadpole to me....after all the aftermarket kits its STILL a tadpole ehehehe...big head and a tail, but big rims means more fuel, more exp tyres, more load on my bearings, more load on my abs, stopping power affected...and list goes on. so stock std lor...

Performance wise i've driven so many types of cars, and to me, the vtec on my city is just a kancil engine to me...suitable for me to drive from point A to B. It does it job of saving me fuel nuff said, there just isn't enuff juice to kick me like a trubo spool or a honda B range vtec engine. It's quiet and for an old man like me...driving an auto in a traffic jam is a gift

All in all....its just back to the basic of what do u want the city for? Performance? Racing? Driving fast? Vtec?

Re-evaluate ure objectives...and remember its just a sedan, what type of oomph do u want out of ure city?



my 2 cents

have u checked for warp disc? un even brake pads?

i had this problem on my perdana, so i went and got some ferodo pads and skimmed the disc and problem was solved.

just an idea

meaning when u say "sufficient pressure" hard braking?

i usually do gentle braking coz i carry a baby....so i dun feel the shuddering effect

yeah....got it done.... testing both Osram Cool Blue and Phillips Crystal Vision.

One is 4300K and the other is around the same region.

Another Osram Coolblue is at abt 5000K....

Well cheaper alternative to HID so far so good.
