Hiduplah Civic X! Summoning pigin to start his reign as he is the first to actually provide drillz of his car

SA told me my wife's Lunar Silver 1.8 is on its way. Will be available next week.

The only problem is the number plate will still be WC...Y then. Now trying to secure a WD...A plate.

I thought they are stopping the WD...A series and move to V and F plate series?

I saw WD.... A plate since last week already.. try selangor also la BNV

Latest as on yesterday is WC264Y.

You can check real time running number at http://www.jpj.gov.my/transaksi-percuma-no...aftaran-terkini

Still awaiting my TC-P patiently - SA trying to get it done by this week

Feature Tips #1 Brake Hold

https://youtu.be/yKfvzUUXb28

Very tempted by this car. but still got 1 more year to go before can change car. Any one can comment this car with Mazda 3? I was actually considering Mazda 3 but Civic came out and it's so tempting with the overall specs given from the official brochure.

WD series will stop after WD....D. Tender for the V series will begin in July.

1.5t drivers out there, are you pumping (planning to pump) ron95 or 97?

According to Honda's chief engineer Yuji Matsumochi, he mentioned that the engine is tuned to run on regular (ron95). As for premium (ron95 and above), no difference.

Did u see me? What car?

I started using my WD...A plate last Thurs.

A lot has been said and will be said about the so called 'benefits' of using RON97 on cars which are tuned/designed for RON95. And a lot of this is actually spread by the fuel companies themselves to 'encourage' RON97 use.

Unless ure driving a high performance / high compression turbo, RON95 is good enough. Im using RON95 on my car and its perfectly fine.

But the best RON95 fuel out there is actually BHP Infiniti Advanced. It actually sits in between Euro 3 and Euro 4.

Posted in previous F&F Thread:

I just thought about this... As you all know, Honda Civic can be filled with RON92 and above, so we should be able to fill in with RON95 fuel. However the Civic 1.5T is a Euro4 engine. RON95 fuel in Malaysia is only Euro2 compliant, and only RON97 fuel is Euro4m compliant.

So we should only fill in RON97 fuel and never RON95 am I right?

FC is still the way to measure any difference. Did u do FC calc on ur BMW?

I alternate between 95 and 97 and somehow it feels difference in terms of power ... feel good factor maybe. Got to start monitoring the FC with the civic.

My plan now is to run 97 until 1500 to 2000kms. Then change to 95 to see any difference.

Euro 4 is emission standard. I think no effect on performance and FC.

An official thread at long last!

Warning by car companies of using Euro 2 diesel in Euro 5 engines.

https://www.onemotoring.com.sg/content/onem...s_Causeway.html

Despite the lower fuel cost and higher performance of diesel-engined cars, owners of such vehicles are advised to enjoy these advantages only in Singapore and not across the Causeway because of the big difference in diesel fuel quality.

New diesel-engined passenger models sold in Singapore are Euro 5-compliant and the ultra-low sulphur diesel sold at the pumps here contains only 50 ppm (parts per million) of sulphur. This specification is compliant for use in Euro 5 diesel engines.

On the other hand, diesel fuel sold in Malaysia is Euro 2 compliant, with 500 ppm. Euro 4 standards with 50 ppm are expected to be implemented in 2015.

"It is not recommended for the new Kia Sorento Diesel to use Malaysian diesel as it is of a much lower grade," says Chin Kee Min, senior manager of authorised Kia distributor Cycle & Carriage Kia. "If lower grade diesel is used, it may cause engine clogging and misfiring issues, and perhaps other related problems as well."

A workshop manager who did not want to be named said that if the wrong diesel specification - such as one with high-sulphur content - is used "persistently", it could risk clogging the diesel particulate filter and may also cause engine damage.

"If there is a need to fill the tank, do not overfill but have enough to get across to Singapore and then refuel with better quality diesel in Singapore," he said.

He explained that using lower quality diesel may result in some "light smoke from the exhaust" as a result of the high sulphur content.

"It is also advisable to run the vehicle with the better quality diesel at expressway speeds for at least 20 minutes so the diesel particulate filter can regenerate itself. When in doubt, take the vehicle back to the dealer for a proper check," he added.

As for loading a jerry can with diesel from Singapore and carrying it with you for trips up north, the workshop manager does not recommend it.

He explains: "For safety reasons, this is not advisable."

Then again, the superb fuel efficiency of a diesel-engined car may not require most owners to fill up in Malaysia at all.

A Wearnes Automotive spokesman says that with a full tank of diesel, the Jaguar XF 2.2D will be able to travel "over 1,000 km".

"An owner is likely to be able to make a short trip to Kuala Lumpur and back with no difficulty," he said. "However, if absolutely necessary, customers are advised to top up only sufficient diesel to travel back to Singapore and not to fill up a full tank."

Nope I didn't. I don't drive economically (because of the turbo and also cuz I don't pay for my fuel).

But Paultan has done a comparison between RON95 vs RON97. I couldn't post the link but u can Google it up.

Its just not worth using RON97.

You probably know this but this is just for info.

RON stands for Research Octane Number, a rating used to measure a fuels knocking resistance in spark-ignition internal combustion engines. Knocking is what happens when parts or all of the air-fuel mixture prematurely ignites before the flame from the spark plug can reach it. In reality a higher RON number means the fuel burns less easily so how can it provide you with more power?

Performance engines normally have higher compression ratios so it needs higher knock resistance to withstand higher compression. Only engines with higher compression ratios take advantage of higher octane gas. If you pump a fuel with a higher octane reading, all ure doing is waste it as your car engine doesn't take advantage of its additional knocking resistance. A majority of the cars on the road are designed with lower compression ratios thus only requiring RON92 or RON95 fuel.

There was a medical survey that was done a few years back in a Western country (not sure which). In that survey a group of ppl were given a new multivitamin pill once a day for a period of 3 months and were told that this pill would bring major health advantages. At the end of the 3 month period, they were asked to take a survey with questions on various aspects of their health and body. 85% of the group members claimed improvements in various aspects of their physical wellbeing.

But what they didn't know was that they were all given a 'dud' pill filled with granulated glucose with no medicinal properties whatsoever.

The power of the mind eh?

Simple explanation. Malaysian cars are re-tuned/calibrated to accept the lower RON rating fuel while Singaporean cars aren't.

RON 96 currently... =)

when i got the car got half tank already..pretty sure they won't give me RON97.. top up the rest with RON97

hence Ron96 lol.

bro u got your car oredi??

who else got car oredi?? 4 days on the road and still no sight of another civic.. i know someone mentioned they saw one but that was it.

This post has been edited by pigin: Jun 21 2016, 09:07 AM

RON 96 ??

should be RON 95 is it ??

I think you're misunderstanding on the RON rating and sulphur content which is 2 different things. Yes, cars in Malaysia are detuned to accept lower RON fuel (RON92) which prevents knocking/pinging but the sulphur content is what Euro 2 (500ppm) and Euro4 (50ppm) is all about.

According to the article which I posted, it can damage the emission control system and long term use may damage the engine - although it's talking about diesel engines.

If this was the case, we would have seen many breakdown cases before this. Turbos have been in Malaysia for a number of years already.

Anyway, im not worried about this RON95 vs RON97 thing. I can bet you a majority of the ppl on this thread will not keep their car more than 7 years. I surely wont.

Checklist for those collecting their new ride.

Have fun!

Hmm... This is not about Turbos per se, but the engine itself is being marketed at Euro IV. But, maybe you're right. Other carmakers such as VW are marketing their engines as Euro V. Or maybe... That's why their cars have so much problems on the road - their users are filling up their cars with RON95 fuel which are Euro 2 only

Anyway, to each his own, I'll just fuel my car up with RON97 to be on the safe side.

Congrats, please share your experience after that, I am interested to find out if the Civic 1.8 does have better response than the HRV though they share the same engine/gearbox. Please also share if it will be as comfort drive as the Turbo one in term of NVH.

No lah.. I saw a black merc e250 in my office parking lot

Mine is still "on the way" according to my SA. She promised this week. Car was supposed to arrive yesterday at the dealership.

Now im wondering if I should replace the car tyres with say Michelin PS3? How much would the current Conti MC5 be worth?

MC5 doesn't have good reviews online. Wet grip isn't as good as PS3

Yes agree. BHP the best with Euro 3-Euro 4 std. All my cars use BHP.

US civic 1.5 Turbo can run on 87 octane petrol, so our civic should be no issue to run on RON 95. Is a lot better than Octane 87 petrol.

V car plate when would it start for bidding?

Nice technical writeup on the 1.5T and CVT..

Turbocharged 1.5-Liter In-Line 4 Cylinder
The Civic's available new DOHC 1.5-liter engine is the first turbocharged engine ever to be offered in a Honda-brand automobile in America. With direct injection, low-inertia Mono scroll turbo system with electrical waste-gate and dual Variable Valve Timing Control (VTC), the turbocharged Civic powerplant develops the horsepower and torque of a much larger engine, and is anticipated to help the Civic receive excellent EPA estimated fuel economy ratings.



The turbocharged 1.5-liter engine is rated at 174 horsepower at 5,500 rpm3 with 162 lb.-ft of torque between 1,800 and 5,500 rpm.4 The Civic Turbo is anticipated to be rated by the EPA at 31/42/35 mpg.6



See the 1.5 L Turbo engine animation for a visual representation of prominent engine features and functions.

Cylinder Block and Crankshaft
The Civic's new 1.5-liter inline four has a lightweight die-cast aluminum block with individual reinforced main bearing caps to minimize weight. Cast-in iron cylinder liners provide long-lasting durability. Each journal on the lightweight forged-steel crankshaft is micropolished to reduce internal friction.

Pistons and Connecting Rods
The 1.5-liter engine's pistons help maintain stable combustion and contribute to improved efficiency with "cavity-shaped" crowns. The lightweight pistons have a carefully optimized skirt design to minimize reciprocating weight, which minimizes vibration and increases operating efficiency. The pistons are cooled by twin oil jets directed at the underside of each piston crown. Ion-plated piston rings help reduce friction for greater operating efficiency. Lightweight, high-strength steel connecting rods are heat-forged in one piece and then "crack separated" to create a lighter and stronger rod with an optimally fitted bearing cap.

Cylinder Head and Valvetrain
The direct-injected Civic 4-cylinder turbocharged engine has a lightweight DOHC cylinder head that is made of pressure-cast aluminum alloy. With exhaust port cast directly into the cylinder head, the need for a traditional separate exhaust manifold is eliminated.

A low-friction, silent-chain drives dual overhead cams and four valves per cylinder. The cam drive is maintenance free throughout the life of the engine. To help further reduce weight, new thin-wall hollow camshafts are used.

To benefit fuel efficiency, emissions and power, the turbo engine utilizes sodium filled exhaust valves. A hollow chamber within the valve contains sodium that is cooled by the exhaust port cooling jacket. As the camber reaches close to the valve head, the sodium helps to cool the entire valve. As the valve is internally cooled it doesn't need the enriched fuel mixture that was generally used in turbo engines to help cool the exhaust valve. The resultant leaner mixture reduces emissions, increases fuel efficiency and helps increase power.

The cylinder head includes smaller M12 sparkplugs, down from the more common M14, to save space and weight. The head also includes direct-injection multi-hole fuel injectors with a small diameter bore. Higher-pressure direct injection optimizes fuel atomization, allowing for more efficient combustion. To provide a high-tumble intake charge that further enhances combustion efficiency, both the intake port and piston crown have special designs.

The Civic Turbo engine features Variable Valve Timing Control (VTC) that can vary the timing of both the intake and exhaust camshafts independently. With the turbo engine's variable cam timing, the cam timing can be optimized to suit the driving conditions. Under light loads, valve overlap can be increased to reduce pumping losses and improve fuel efficiency. When engine speed is low and engine load is large, such as during initial acceleration, the amount of overlap is increased to boost the scavenging effect, which improves torque and responsiveness. When engine speed is high and engine load is also high, such as during full-throttle acceleration, the amount of valve overlap is reduced to increase engine output by improving both intake and scavenging.

Direct Injection System
The direct-injection system enables increased torque across the engine's full operating range along with higher fuel efficiency. The system features a compact, high-pressure, direct-injection pump that allows both high fuel flow and pulsation suppression, while variable pressure control optimizes injector operation. A multi-hole injector delivers fuel directly into each cylinder (not to the intake port, as in conventional port fuel injection designs), allowing for more efficient combustion.

The multi-hole injectors can create the ideal stoichiometric fuel/air mixture in the cylinders for good emissions control. Theoretically, a stoichiometric mixture has just enough air to completely burn the available fuel. Based on the operating conditions, the direct-injection system alters its function for best performance. Upon cold engine startup, fuel is injected into the cylinders on the compression stroke. This creates a weak stratified charge effect that improves engine start-up and reduces exhaust emissions before a normal operating temperature is reached.

Once the engine is fully warmed up, for maximum power and fuel efficiency fuel is injected during the intake stroke. This helps create a more homogeneous fuel/air mix in the cylinder that is aided by the high-tumble intake port design. This improves volumetric efficiency, and the cooling effect of the incoming fuel improves anti-knock performance.

Low Inertia Mono Scroll Turbo System with Electric Wastegate
The turbocharged Civic engine employs a small-diameter turbine for maximum responsiveness. The Mono scroll housing design helps the turbo build boost even at relatively small throttle openings and low rpm. The electrically actuated wastegate allows boost pressure to be precisely controlled.



A large air low-restriction intercooler is positioned low in the front of the car where it receives unobstructed airflow when the vehicle is in motion. Intake air travels from the air filter, to the turbo compressor, on to the intercooler, then to the engine's intake ports. The intercooler helps reduce the temperature of air entering the engine, making it denser for greater performance. To reduce weight, the turbo system is plumbed with rigid, lightweight resin composite inlet pipes to carry intake air to and from the intercooler.

Common Engine Features
ECON Mode
Every 2016 Civic is equipped with a green ECON button located on the center console near the shift lever. When the button is pushed to activate ECON mode, several operating characteristics of the vehicle are modified for enhanced fuel efficiency. The Drive-by-Wire throttle system provides more gradual response, and to save additional energy, the climate control's fan speeds are lowered incrementally and other climate control system characteristics are altered based on the conditions. Another push of the ECON button reverts all systems to their normal mode.



Friction Reducing Technology
Both of Civic's engines make use of new friction-reducing technologies designed to improve engine efficiency. The outer skirts of lightweight aluminum pistons feature a low-friction coating applied in a unique pattern application. The result is reduced overall friction as the pistons move within the cylinder bores. Plateau honing further lowers the friction level between the pistons and the cylinders by creating an ultra-smooth surface. Plateau honing is a 2-stage machining process that uses two grinding processes instead of the more conventional single honing process. This also enhances the long-term wear characteristics of the engine. Low viscosity oil (0W-20) also reduces friction. Other contributors to overall operating efficiency are a special two-stage oil pump relief valve, low-friction oil seals, special low-drag piston ring design, low-friction cam chain and a lightweight crankshaft.

Drive-by-Wire Throttle System
The Civic's Drive-by-Wire throttle system replaces a conventional throttle cable with smart electronics that "connect" the accelerator pedal to a throttle valve inside the throttle body. The result is less under-hood clutter and lower weight, as well as quicker and more accurate throttle actuation. Plus, a specially programmed "gain" rate between the throttle pedal and engine offers improved drivability and optimized engine response to suit specific driving conditions.

Honda's Drive-by-Wire throttle system evaluates the current driving conditions by monitoring throttle pedal position, throttle valve position, engine speed (rpm) and road speed. This information is used to define the throttle control sensitivity that gives the Civic's throttle pedal a predictable and responsive feel that meets driver expectations.

Emissions Control
Both 2016 Civic engines meet the tough EPA LEV3-ULEV125/LEV3-SULEV30 emissions standards,5 and are certified to this level of emissions performance for 120,000 miles.

100,000+/- Mile Tune-up Intervals
The Civic's powerplant requires no scheduled maintenance for 100,000+/- miles or more8, other than periodic inspections and normal fluid and filter replacements. The first tune-up includes water pump inspection, valve adjustment, and the installation of new spark plugs.

Maintenance Minder™ System
To eliminate unnecessary service stops while ensuring that the vehicle is properly maintained, the Civic has a Maintenance Minder™ system that continually monitors the vehicle's operating condition. When maintenance is required, the driver is alerted via a message on the Multi-Information Display (MID) on the LX trim or Driver Information Interface (DII) on EX and above trims. (See the Interior Section for more information about the DII).

The Maintenance Minder™ system monitors operating conditions such as oil and coolant temperature along with engine speed to determine the proper service intervals. Depending on operating conditions, oil change intervals can be extended to a maximum of 10,000 miles, potentially sparing the owner considerable expense and inconvenience over the life of the vehicle. The owner-resettable system monitors all normal service parts and systems, including oil and filter, tire rotation, air-cleaner, transmission fluid, spark plugs, coolant, brake pads and more. To reduce the potential for driver distraction, maintenance alerts are presented on the DII only when the ignition is first turned on, not while driving.


Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT)
Two different CVT transmissions are offered in the new Civic to best suit the power output and operating characteristics of each available engine. Both Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT) offer smooth and predictable gear ratio transitions and excellent acceleration matched with efficient low-rpm cruising. A wide ratio spread results in strong acceleration performance coupled with reduced engine rpm at high road speeds.

Each CVT is comprised of an engine driven torque converter that in turn drives two variable-width pulleys connected by a steel belt. With its angled inner faces, the belt can circle the angled pulley faces at varying diameter depending on the pulley width, which alters the effective ratio between the pulleys. Since there are no steps in the pulley faces, the range of possible gear ratios is essentially infinite. This ultra-fine control of the gear ratio is the key to the CVT's greater efficiency over a conventional automatic transmission with a limited number of discrete gear ratios. Instead of approximating the correct ratio for the conditions like a conventional automatic does, the Civic CVTs can precisely select the optimum ratio from moment to moment without steps or slippage. Computer control of the transmission allows the ratio between the pulleys to be altered almost instantly to best suit the driving conditions and accelerator pedal setting.




Continuously Variable Transmission for 1.5L Turbo
Turbo Civic models offer a CVT that is an evolution of the CVT transmission that is offered in Accord 4-cylinder models. In this application, the transmission's final gear ratio is 4.69-percent taller than the Accord CVT on which it's based, to allow for lower engine rpm while cruising. A new generation of G-Design shift logic aids acceleration and has a more familiar driving feel. A new turbine twin-damper design for the torque converter provides tighter control and helps reduce turbocharger lag as the vehicle accelerates.

CVT Common Features
G-Design Shift Feature
Both available Civic CVTs are designed to provide the optimum gear ratio for the driving conditions, and to offer a more natural driving feel than some previous CVT transmissions that may have something of a disconnected "rubber-band" feel compared to a conventional automatic transmission.

The Civic CVTs have a new generation of special G-design shift logic that is designed to offer more immediate acceleration response than either conventional automatics or other CVT designs. When abruptly applying power from a steady-state cruising speed, both Civic CVTs immediately send power to the drive wheels while simultaneously adjusting the gear ratio (seamlessly and progressively downshifting) to smoothly bring the engine to its horsepower peak in a linear way.



By comparison, a conventional automatic is slower to respond and loses time making multiple downshifts. Since the automatic transmission has a limited number of separate, discrete ratios, even when fully downshifted, it can only approximate the optimum engine rpm as speed increases. This cuts into acceleration.

During full throttle acceleration, the new generation of G-Design shift logic employs stepped ratios as the vehicle speed increases. This helps give the transmission a more "connected" feel as the engine rpm and vehicle speed increase together. This stepped operation also improves acceleration performance incrementally.



CVT Automatic Modes
The transmission can be operated in three different fully automatic forward modes with the console-mounted straight-gate shifter. The D mode is ideal for most driving situations, and combines fuel efficiency with smooth operation and responsive power when needed. The S mode is for more performance-oriented driving, and features more aggressive transmission mapping to keep engine rpm higher for greater acceleration and response. The L mode is ideal for situations when additional engine braking is desired, such as in mountainous driving.

S-Range Control
To allow the driver to alter the operation of the CVT, the console-mounted gear selector includes an "S" or Sport mode that provides a sport-shift schedule that delays upshifting for more available power, and provides greater engine braking.

Same decision with me. Wanted to get Mazda 3 and at the end settled with new civic.

After test drove both cars few times. All i can say is Mazda has slightly better handling and solid feel than civic & cheaper for M3 GL. Other than this civic better in everything (Better power for turbo, spacious, better NVH, more comfortable, rear aircond, bigger boot, parts availability, newer model, after sales service, resale value etc)

Anyway please go for test drive and decide which car suit you. Both are top choice for C segment cars.

Do you notice that in other country, civic have P, R, D, S & L gear, Malaysia, Thailand and Australia only have P, R, D & S only?

Maybe due malaysia spec have paddle shift?

So what gear to use when down hill? D or S?

Anyone going to try that RON100 from Petron?

WD...E bidding will end 28 June. So this would probably be the last for the W series. V should start after that.

Don't use RON100 with your car. There have been a few BMW owners who used that RON100 fuel and encountered problems.

That is specially for high compression engines.

Same here ! was very inclined towards the Mazda 3, but fell in love with the honda civic

I guess those with S & L are not equipped with paddle shift. S is a more aggressive than D in shifting, as in maintaining higher RPM before changing the ratio. If you have paddle shift, definitely setting to S while suitable ratio for engine braking.

I drive City and going down slope, those merry go around type even L speed can go up to 40km/h and I still need to brake quite a bit. But with the paddle shfit, you won't be able to use a more aggressive shift mode of CVT? Or just pushing to S will be aggressive mode, while pressing the paddle shift then activates the "virtual speeds"?

According to Honda's Lead Powertrain Engineer - Yuji Matsumochi, there is not much difference when going with higher octane fuel for the 1.5T. Check out the video starting from the 5 minute mark..



Honda does however recommend top tier detergent fuel. So no harm going with better grade/brand gas.

need to try it after i get the car.

Can anybody with a Lunar Silver post some pics of the car out in the open? Hopefully some Malaysian pics.

It is alreatdy there posted by pigin earlier here :

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3859674/+2520

btw, how many liters of the fuel tank for this new civic? 40l only?

I only have this. Tmr holiday I post one more la



Attached thumbnail(s)

47L, but according to certain tests - 100% empty tank, then fuel up 100% - it's 55L

Edit:

Manual says u get the low fuel indicator when u have 7L left in the tank.

Maybe 7L is rezeb??

Any SC have 1.8 to test drive?

I said out in the open. Not under a car porch.

Thanks bro.

Take some pics out in the open in bright sunlight and also at night. Take from different angles if possible.

And keep bonnet closed.

Nice! I booked the same spec and color too .. cant wait for mine to arrive..

You tint the same for all four windows. Im still thinking whether to tint driver 50% and back passenger window darker at 30% VLT following the new rules. But afraid will look weird with 2 toned look.

My SA gave me these. 1.8 version tho



But you can see the difference in colour for Lunar Silver & Modern Steel

This post has been edited by isr25: Jun 21 2016, 10:53 AM

Silver is very nice.

Be very careful with the fuel indicator. Different cars have different methods to calculate the remaining fuel.

VW Golf fuel drops in blocks of every 15-20km range while Kia and BMW are more 'precise' cuz their range drops by the km.

U also need to know what is the remaining fuel when the light first comes on and then when its starts blinking. Always know your reserve fuel capacity so that in an emergency you will know if u can reach your destination or otherwise.

Assuming u will always be able to fill up when required is dangerous.

Thanks Bro. Much appreciated.

This colour will look very nice in bright sunlight and will also have a special tint at night time.

Now im convinced that Lunar Silver was the right choice...for me.

Those of you getting tints done, please check around and compare prices. It seems that prices are have come down lately due to increasing competition.

Among the best security tint in the market currently is Llumar Diamond 6 with 10 years warranty which costs RM2,880 complete with installation for the Honda Civic.

Ive just installed it on my own car. And its really good. Plus its not dark. The greenish tint will go very well with white, silver or the modern steel color.

So if ure shopping around for tints, use the Llumar Diamond 6 as your benchmark to negotiate a good deal. When ure considering security tints, you need to focus on the break strength not just the thickness of the film.

And pls do share any good deals (plus the TSER, IRR, VLT & warranty terms) you come across for the benefit of other owners here.

This post has been edited by cybermaster98: Jun 21 2016, 11:05 AM

JB still offering RM3,600 But comes with Yuma carpets though... But still, quite high...

That's the retail price for Llumar Diamond 6. Im sure they wont be charging that price in reality. That's just for the adverts.

Nope, already asked if got any discount. None whatsoever... sad... JB maybe no competition.

found the front grill sticker, got carbon fibre or black , 60 plus can get it



Attached thumbnail(s)

Come KL then. Still worth the trip and effort.

im reading from the receipt.

llumar atr-50 front back.. (are these security films btw??) they just seem like normal UV tints..

llumar t4-50 all sides.

want meh 30% for back.. this not veilfire worrr

it might be the same with CRZ , hold both the paddle shift for more than 10 second to chg it to L

Llumar T4-50 is security tint:

VLT - 55%
IRR - 90%
TSER - 45%
4 mil
5 yrs warranty

Llumar ATR 50 (normal solar)

VLT - 55%
IRR - 78%
TSER - 35%

How much did it cost you overall?

wow, never know there is such a secret gear, nice sharing, thanks.

Also good to confirm with your SA that the tint installer installs it at the dealership in the dealer's dust free room instead of driving the car out to the tint shop to get it done. Something I am particular about. Who knows how many test drives and joy rides your new car gets when it get's dropped off at a 3rd party shop outside for tinting to get done

This post has been edited by GeekinE90: Jun 21 2016, 11:23 AM

That's only applicable if ure taking the Honda tint package.

Not yet. Maybe after raya. Still waiting for number plate

Dont mind to share where did u do your tint at?

Mine is Huper Optik which is not in the Honda tint package. The Honda tint package is actually done by a 3rd party. The installer who does the Honda tint package for my case also carries Huper Optik films.

Personally I prefer the color of the Huper Optik over Llumar Diamond 6. It's a bit too light green for me while the Huper is a deeper classy hue.

am still thinking to get 1.5 turbo or 1.8vtec... haiz.. undecidable..

You and I are on the same boat.

Get the 1.5..

U'll thank me later.

Hei bro. Where did u get the sticker? Thanks

Bro, yours is TC-P? or mid spec TC?

Order frm Tmall

Many thanks bro

Quite cheap 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Mine mid spec.

Go TC-P if 8k is no object. The lights are prettyyy

Mr president, is the civic come with power retractable side mirrors?

Yes.. But cannot retract when engine is off. A gripe I have with the car

S is better going downhill. stronger engine braking.

yup will try S for downhill when i got the car.
