The stock car had a pre-program system (ECU) to monitor the driving behavior and adjusted the system as and when appropriate. If added stability bar, strut bar and etc which interrupted the original setting, the car will not cope with the system and ultimately this issue might be happen. Since you all have money to add the accessories, why not just upgrade a turbo kit to make it a true racing car. Honda ECU already open the setting for you to proceed with engine modification.

WTH are you on about? How would adding chassis bars change your ECU settings? It is just a mechanical chassis augmentation.

yes its seems logic also....i'm not the truly racer...if still worst i removed the heavier part which is front stabilizer bar and remain the rear one which is lighter.

A full tank of petrol also heavier than your bars. Maybe pump quarter tank and try again.

Lol. HM = expert, really topkek. Why not go ask Ultra Racing also?

If the City's ECU can be affected by chassis bars, this car can throw into sea dy.

To HM, anything mod also void warranty. Nothing much to ask them. The answer will always be the same. Void warranty save them money.

Wonder what's the weight of the bars being discussed? 50kg?  Nah....if it's 30kg, then treat it as u ferrying your 10 yr old kid all the time. FC will be worse, but lack of pick up won't be that noticeable.

50kg antiroll bar....sounds familiar

On the topic of warranty....Last year I was doing up my ride at SM Motorsport when a Honda Civic (FB2) came in to remove it's stiff rings.

I ask why he wanna remove it, he said there was sound from the lower arm and when he sent it to Honda for claims, the SC told him to remove the stiff rings then go back again, no warranty voided.

He didn't tell me which SC it was, though.

Stiff rings

depending on how and who you talk to, most staffs are willing to help in warranty claiming, the service manager of the sc i went to also told me if got anything can look for him, any problem, just change back ori parts and send it in

Yep. Alot of times it is at the discretion of the SC staff/manager. If you have good relations with them, some of them are willing to close one eye.

Btw, i try to find some info on engine break-in but got inconsistent results  sweat.gif
Some people say drive below 80km/hr for the 1st 1000km.
Some people say just step on the gas like theres no tomorrow as soon as you got your new car.

When I got my new car, i drove 100km/hr most of the time. There is a few times i drove 130km/hr with 3500rpm.
Now I just went for the 1000km inspection servicing and wondering can I drive fast and furious now?  brows.gif

Any sifu can enlighten me?  notworthy.gif

Just drive normally like you would any car.

http://bba-reman.com/forums/Topic116286.aspx - Explanation of How ECU and ESP works together.

If added various kinds of bars underneath your vehicle, will it affect your ABS, EBD or VSA? A common sense thinking will link all of this together and get the answer.

If still did not get the answer, can ask Honda Racing Team to check whether did they modified the ECU if added various kind of accessories underneath their vehicle.

Why don't you explain instead of always asking ppl use "common sense". The link you posted also has nothing to do with bars.

You seem to know a lot about racing and ECU, how about you enlighten us about your vast knowledge in car electronics.

*Your information is nicely recorded.

HIP packages pay full amount sum coverage. Outside only pay according to current market price. So a bit different.

No. Any insurance company offering Agreed Value policies will pay the full sum covered. Just ask if the insurance company offers Agreed Value coverage instead of Market Value.

The premium will be slightly higher, but it is worth the slight increase especially if the market value of the car is lower than your loan balance.

I have decent experience with AIG although I dunno if they offer Agreed Value policies to Honda.

do you know any insurance company that offers agreed value for toyota?

Just call up any of Toyota's panel insurer (Tokio Marine, MSIG etc.)

If you have a preferred insurer outside of their panel, you can always call up their customer service and ask.

Another thing to note when buying insurance for your new car is their betterment clause.

The standard guideline for most companies is that (according to BNM): For cars under 5 years old, all repairs are entitled to new and original parts whereby the insurer will pay the FULL AMOUNT for any repairs. Above 5 years, the owner will have to pay a percentage of the repair cost, or alternatively the repairer will use recond or replica parts that is cheaper if the owner don't want to pay. This is regardless of whether you bought Agreed Value or Market Value.

http://cheahthimfook.com/betterment-car-in...t-repair-claim/

Some panel insurers offer longer period (eg. 8 years) before implementing the betterment clause.

Please do you research before purchasing insurance.
