previously i mentioned about the metal screeching sound from my rotors right.. it happened twice la, but then it didn't occur anymore so i hope it's okay..

after my exams this wednesday, i'm sending my car in to let the SC settle the dashboard shudders.. most definitely going to leave the car since the dashboard has to be dismantled..

edit:
i was looking at this thread and i can't deduce whether honda is having problems with their brakes. i mean, there are problems with jazz's brakes and city's brakes.. now i heard about the accord, potentially the new civic as well

oh.. my sister's myvi seems to have rotor problems too.. not only mine, seems quite a number of myviclub members have the issue as well, inclusive of bearbear

Since under warranty, let the SC settle lor.. why spend money when you can get them replaced for free

anyway, i'll be leaving for hong kong this 15th and will only be back by 20th. kinda worrying now cuz still can't get confirmed booking for accomodation

and i still haven't have any accomodations.. and the hotel rates are exorbitantly high..

RM258 for brake pads yeah.. I had the SC make a claim for the rotor set if i'm going to change the pads.. otherwise skim, new pads.. still problematic, what's the point la..

only the front pair

edit: i missed porkchop's question..

Almost 2 years nia.. drop approx. 20k already

my black tints, my HIDs.. all removed liao

that's a lot..

anyway, i'm leaving tomorrow.. so ya'll drive safe, be safe.. take care and have fun

boy.. am i pissed with the service centre..
they called up and said that due to my modifications, some wiring has caused the dashboard to shudder, and they quoted RM250 to get it fixed.. then they took the opportunity to talk about my VS & GK wirings in the engine bay as well..

I rejected the repair work.

AFAIK, The only modifications i've done "within" the dashboard would only be the ICE and perhaps the EL Meter but I doubt the EL Meter affected the dashboard.

Going back to the shop I installed my ICE to see what they can do. If cannot do anything, will remove everything including those VS and GK and reinstall the stock stuff..

Heck, I don't even know how or in what way did the dashboard shudder occur. If it's the ICE's wiring, why didn't it shudder when it was installed more than a year ago?

sonictheory,
did anything to your dashboard before? like ICE?

the same problem i am having.. if it has shudder sounds, i rev a lil bit oni the shudder is a bit louder and faster then off

ruin the driving experience..

Gouki,
West Star suggest to me to service my aircond so that it'll be "easier" for them to settle the problem as they have to dismantle the dashboard..

yeah bro cuz if not mistaken any repairs in workshop that is above RM50, they'll have to call up or obtain confirmation to proceed..

last time i called westar also nobody pickup.. then went there, and found out their line was down..

bro, my flight is at 1.35pm tomorrow.. eta @ hkia 5.35pm

bro,
i'll be staying at Wan Chai.
whereabouts is this sham shui po? if i've got time.. i'd like to drop by and check it out on tuesday which i dedicated to check out the "shopping" around hong kong

edit:
fuh.. different MTR line.. had to be on the Tung Chung line eh..
if it's on Tsuen Wan line than i might go.. >.<

friday nothing much, settle in the hotel and walk around wan chai area..

saturday going to lantau island for the large bronze buddha statue before going to wong tai sin temple.. then night go to central to check out "santa's town"

sunday going to ocean park from morning, evening head to the peak for the wax museum and nightview of hk..

monday to disneyland hk

tuesday would be checking out tsim sha tsui area like nathan road, ladies market, etc etc.. and the avenue of stars

wednesday, leave for KL..

that's pretty much it

ah.. i edited my post above, sorry about that..

YMCA Harbour View International House
Most hotels over at TST, Kowloon, Mongkok were fully occupied

If I can make it to Sham Shui Po, i'll definitely go take a look.. but if no time, what to do lar.. so lil time, so much to do

well, gotta walk around that area oso cuz i stay around there ma.. looking food, all that oso search around this area liao..

Aite, my final post here before i leave for breakfast and to the airport
Anything ya'll can still sms me.. international roaming ma

i am back, ladies and gentleman

i didn't really like the walking part of the trip.. and trying to search for food around the hotel i was staying.. else, pretty okay.. a good trip i'd say

the chicks are pretty too..
but too bad, lotsa make up and for some reason, i dunno if i stumble upon the same people or they just look more or less the same

it really is kinda odd that everybody around speaks in cantonese and mandarin.. i had some problems with ordering food (cuz some of the menu are in chinese words only) and sometimes even talking to the people there.. i end up speaking in english with my sister as well as to the people over there.. which is a bit alienated

it's rather cute for them to speak in english though..

but i'd prefer japan anytime.. but the experience of travelling alone was a good one

yeah, but don't be surprised when some of them can actually speak perfect english

anyway, i'm really losing confidence in honda.. remember the dashboard shudder thing i was talking about? that Westar said that it would be "convenient" to service the aircond at the same time (costs RM2xx) when removing the dashboard and Peringgit Auto OKR claiming "modifications to the car" thus RM250 to proceed with repairs? Both also said it was due to wiring.

I went back to the place where I got my audio installed, got the dashboard partly removed to check what is making that annoying sound. End up nothing was wrong with the dashboard area but a loose amp fuse in the engine bay that's been knocking to the aircond piping that made the sound audible in the cabin area under the dashboard.. for the fellas work, i paid RM30.00

that's like a discount of more than RM200 from Honda..

eh bro.. speaking of accessories shop, what happened to raymond tai kor lar? new shop up and running yet?

jap chicks

then i'll be smelling smokes from your car's exhausts lor..
