Damn! there is 49 pages for a car no one has gotten their hands on yet.

Has anyone actually gotten their FC yet?

Chill bro, chill. I come in peace.

I've got no patience. I just assume there is some OTR adi la.

So, what is the verdict on this new baby. I've got no chance to test drive yet but might be looking to get one. Don't really like the rear taillight though. Dun look right with a sedan.

okkkkkkk... my fault my fault dear bosses. I didn't demand for proof. But, 49 pages for a car that launched not more than 2 months ago is bonkers though.

Even rich bentley owners also have to throw rubbish right? So, all sorts of cars also they've seen it, they no feeling liao...

No cars will be targeted by them. Your risk of getting your car scratched by kids running around or bicycle handles are much higher than getting hit by garbage trucks. Although very much under rated, garbage truck people have serious driving skills  thumbsup.gif

Yea lah. Rubbish collectors can't go around with a vengeance. They have to go back to the same spot once every few days. Not like they can vent out and then never come back again. Eventually, it will haunt them if they do something to property where they are performing their duties.

Other road users, hard to say. This is the ones you have to becareful of.

So, what stuff can be done to this new FC? I don't see much stuff yet because this is based on the USDM ones.

I see that the Thai has started putting their manual ones on the dyno and maybe boosted it up a bit or running some piggyback chips on it

Actually, i doubt it la. This is still KL you know. And however much powderful it gets. It will still be just something that is based on the L series engine la.

Not to say that there is no potential. But it is what it is la, it is no FK2R in stock form lor.

I am choosing to use Euro 4m fuel - coz the engine is Euro4 smile.gif
I just turn it on. No harm & psychologically I will also drive slower. But when I want to overtake, I turn it off.

Why not Petron RON100? as first choice

You try driving under ECON mode for a few days and a few days without it, you decide which one you prefer.

ECON mode will :
1) reduce throttle sensitivity = slower acceleration
2) reduce air cond compressor time = warmer air cond
*
I don't know about the aircond compressor. But the throttle mapping is definitely out of whack with Econ mode on, partial throttle at least. WOT feels more or less the same. Speaking from driving a City la.

But, in city driving. Econ mode is better cos it gives you a lot of range in the throttle pedal whereas the ECON mode of will give a more linear sharper throttle curve. Throttle response lag is the same on both. DBW mah.

You will need an OBDII monitor to see the relative throttle position to relate to what you input with your feet.

Minimum is RON95, but RON97 is the lowest grade EURO4M fuel. No need to use RON100.
My previous car Civic FD2 Concept M came with Ecotint. I feel my previous car Honda City installed with VKool Elite and my wife's HR-V installed with Llumar has better heat rejection.

In any case, just to share with LYN forumers, I tried the remote start from my office in level 4. Blocked by a few thick walls and windows. My car started without a hitch rclxms.gif came in the car a few minutes later all cooled down already. Funny thing was a few of my colleagues was gathered around admiring the car, and they were surprised when it suddenly started on it's own. When I told them I remote started it from my workplace, they were all very impressed icon_rolleyes.gif I must have been a good 25 meters away from the car - do try it out!
*
You never know it is retarding the ignition timing if you run something like 95.

Don't compare ecotint to vkool and Llumar la. Their cheapest tint already can kill people already, price wise.

Is it a good thing that you can remote the car so far away?

Guys, I'm undecided between the 1.8 and the 1.5 tc. Need some advise here. In the long run, as in maybe 7 years time, how would a tc car fare? Will it run like normal or will it be much worse to maintain than the 1.8? Any major overhaul needed? Sorry I'm not a car enthusiast sad.gif

Thanks guys.

Turbo's usually have their own problems as it is a wear and tear part too. This engine is new, so no one knows yet for now.

The turbochargers can leak oil, but as usual we have Tong Turbo in our good graces. Even some parts like i dun know if this l15b7 uses some plasticky blow off valve which needs to changed after some time and so on and so forth.

So, there is extra stuff to replace when time comes. But, the good news is that hopefully the saving you get from the economical drive will more than make up for those repairs and replacements.

Thanks. Another question for folks test driven both 1.8 and 1.5tc, is 1.8 significantly under powered? I liked the 1.5tcp of course, smile.gif
*
The point is that if the turbines are spooled up easily. You have something like max torque around 2k revs? Which makes the car very easy to trundle around town.

This is the part that a 1.8NA will not be able to match not to mention there is more torque than the NA counterpart.

I guess so tongue.gif it's also my first time having a car with remote start too
The car is designed to run on RON95, so no timing retardation.

The cabin is cooled down and engine is warmed up before I go down from my office. Definitely a plus.

U wont know if u are not seeing it on datalogs. No knocking doesn't mean timing is not being retarded.

so 1st batch will have more imported parts, before local parts build up to supply Melaka assembly plant.

like what happened to Civic Type-R in UK, production unit below 2k used imported parts from Japan and USA.
*
Most probably they would have already sourced the parts locally. There isn't reason to just sell a locally assembled car first and slowly source parts locally. Honda explained before that the govt incentive for establishing an assembly plant here is how they drive the car prices down. But, they also took a further step by having an R&D team in Pegoh to source and get parts to further lower costs of the honda cars in malaysia.

According to the Honda Jazz 2013 launch, that car alone will contain up to 30% of locally sourced parts i think. I think they did not include the chassis and powertrain stuff into that statistics.

So, S simulated more aggressive ratio shifting but still CVT style. The traditional shifting method only during paddle shifting?

Was looking at a few 0-60 videos, noticed they set to S but it is shifting in paddle shift style... I remember during my short test drive it showed which shift in number?
*
I am not sure about the Civic FC, but i remember previous CVTs in S mode, the CVT is actually in Auto mode but will run the revs higher than in D mode under WOT. Once you flick the paddle shifters in S mode, it becomes a manual mode and will not be overridden in whatever gear / ratio you choose to stay in. Not sure if it will hit the rev cut or not but it will stay there and won't auto shift up as you accelerate unlike in D mode.

What is WOT btw? I would expect it to behave that way, but the videos I have watch seems to be showing it emulates traditional shifting.
Yes, which is why I'm wondering the S is it CVT style of shifting or emulates traditional shifting ala like paddle shift.
*
WOT means wide open throttle.

Do you mean traditional shifting as the rev counter climbs and then drops when it shifts up?

CVT as you know is continuously variable transmission, so there is actually almost an infinite amount of gear ratios available which is why you can see that the rev counter sticks at one rev range and the speed can keep on increasing unlike traditional transmission which has stepped gear ratios.

So, your so called paddle shift is actually the CVT locking itself into a fixed ratio correlated to a specific gear shown on the dash to give you a perception that works like a traditional transmission while in fact it is still the same.
