If handling really important, actually, try Mazda 3. But too bad no turbo..

Anyway..

Yesterday was driving in LDP around 8.50pm when a sohai in 1.5TCP (WD 5 forgot..)white keep high beam.

Why the f#%k you high beam??? I was in slow lane and not much traffic. Think drive white with turbo already king of the road?

Had me thinking, our car when go under bridge etc ths lights will light up n off later will make the car infront thinks we are beaming them tongue.gif

Found some of the 0-100kmh etc by Performance Drive. Just for fun...

Civic 1.5T- 7.54Sec
Civic 1.8 - 10.33Sec
Mazda 3 2.5 - 7.74Sec
Toyota BRZ(M)- 7.73Sec
Bmw 320i- 7.52Sec

Surprisingly Civic 1.5T can match Mazda 3 2.5, BRZ & 320i that have higher power. Not bad huh this small 1.5T smile.gif

If you notice the vidoe 1.5T & 1.8 on S mood, Can see 1.5 with gearshift from 0-100kmh while the 1.8 just like the normal CVT with constant rpm (no gearshift). Not sure is the same with Msia Civic. Diff gearbox setting?

could be the civic with 200+ HP

Guys, off topic abit.

If lets say trade in car to Honda to buy Civic, normally the NCB transfer is done by the SA? Or we need to do it ourself?

Thanks!

U tried Fusso F7?

I am also detailing freak, all my cars can have show room shine even after 7 yrs biggrin.gif , the other one selling off soon/ also hardly any dents at the side but just stone chips at hood sad.gif

Been using F7 recently and combine with Gold class, soft 99 micro rubbing wax(bought long time ago when i was in
Jpn) ,3M quick spray wax and also some clay bar.
Also Meguair's Scratch x & Bug n Tar remover.
Last night just got the Soft 99 Extreme gloss Kiwami.

Been waxing and coating weekly, so it'll stay shiny/glossy all the time

rclxm9.gif ada kaki liao ,

i never try the fusso F7 , this the first time i try the Soft 99 product , i actually got the Soft 99 product recently , the Wheel Dust Block , Soft 99 Side mirror coat , Soft 99 Compound Z + Ultra Glaco , Soft 99 Fusso 12 month Coat wax 

The Soft 99 Wheel dust block is really crazy good , BUT !!! U can't kena shampoo and wipe off , else the effect is direct gone after 1-2 wash  bye.gif
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8ZV4bCfUoU

same as the Soft 99 Side mirror coat , u can't even touch it , else the effect gone too  cry.gif
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8_ali5PBXU
Before this i using Meguaris such as Gold Class for wash once a week , Clay car every 6 month using 3m Clay, then ultimate liquiq wax every 3 month , then i also have Meguaris Spray Quick Wax to maintain wax every 2 week , Meg Tire Gel , Meg Spray interior Cleaning , Meg Spray susprime shine (for dashboard 3 month once) , and recently bought Meg Leather Conditional for civic leather seat , i think it is worth to spend a little time to detailing car because u let bangla wash ur car ,end up all scratch,  when u go up to ur car whole car is bangla smell , and if car with proper wax , u really can wash and dry ur car very fast and easily

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MbAo8KLD1g
As i read the review Fusso F7 can last for 7 month , the Fusso F7 is also highly recommend , but the reason i choose 12 month is about it might be more long lasting compared to F7  rclxms.gif  Ask you some question , do we need to topup other wax after Fusso F7 or 12 month coat wax?  The Soft 99 Extreme gloss Kiwami i know is that for Gloss and shine effect , so u top up after apply fusso f7 ?  U really rajin do it every week  biggrin.gif
*
Seems for coating, they recommend do wax 1st and coat, so i've been sandwiching alternately weekly and 4th coating in 1 mths tongue.gif hahaha so at this rate sure more than 7 mths if i do nothing for next 6mths which I cant ignore it as been my habit to do it weekly of more often as I re challenge myself again with black car after previous was silver(1st 2 was dark blue and black)
.
U lagi giler detail until mirror/glass n tyres.
me just body/bumpers and normal wet cloth wiping for dashboard only(so far good enough for my past cars)

last time using rain X , tak tahan , lazy do it every month , until found soft99 and it claim the ultra glaco can tahan up to 1 year , only give it try , normally i will see youtube real world review than those advertisment video (u know la those video is too good to be trust sometime)

Last time when i'm stil young , i every week also spray quick wax , now old le 30age , every 2-3 week only quick wax once haha , if Fusso really can hold for longer time , then i will leave the wax do their job , can save my time haha  , i understand ur feeling , the car 1 day no shining and feel LICIN , u can't sleep well, same as when i was young , even my mom say "U ah , every day lap lap ur car , paint won't rosak ah?"  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif

Last time when i using Ultimate Wash & wax shampoo , after wash car not feel as licin as Gold Class , i terus sell it off and buy Gold Class next day kakakaka , so far the best shampoo stil the Meg Gold Class , can use as claying too
For the Dash board , it's better to get Meg Susprime Shine protection and leather protection or any other brand u can found , because our dash board , leather will be expore to SUN , and u know now weather is very very HOT , can go until 40degree , so if ur dash and leather without those UV protection , it will easy DULL , Crack in long run , and the Meg Susprime Shine i buy 1 bottle until today already 4 year if not mistake , still got half more, after this just clean with wet cloth to wipe if got dust

Haha been detailing like tht for 17yrs and now more addicted as im older
Oh been gettin good tint to prevent the interior frm damage. and not even with black and under hot sun,with long sleeve also tak rasa when enter it (got the IR heat rejection at 95%

Coating is meant to bond to the surface, so usually surface prep is key to make sure the coating lasts.  Pure Waxes are not supposed to be abrasive but don't last.  I believe Fusso coat is a wax + special solvents.  A few reviews say it lasts ~6months.  But relatively easy to apply and remove if using just a thin coat.  Due to the nature of it being a wax, I think the durability and hardness will not match typical SiO2 coatings like G-techniq, CeramicPro, Gyeon MOHS etc.. etc..

yeah own preference , those so called expert detaillers are damn expensive but wont last that long unless continuously go back for maintenance.wont prevent chips also.

Agree.  They have to cari makan ma, pay rent, salaries etc.  For detailing kakis who are used to surface prep work, the effort to apply an SiO2 coat is not hard at all.  Similar to say using Fusso coat.  Only things is these SiO2 coatings are not sold off the shelf in stores.  But with online shopping anything is now possible!  Just be careful and use gloves, mask and lots of microfibre cloth.

The Carpro cQuartz coating is highly rated SiO2 coating and some pro detailers say the optical clarity is superior to CeramicPro.  Only USD49
