What is the size of the Civic FC wheel nuts? Thinking to buy the wheel locks.
*
Get the steel ones.. As the alloy ones don't last..
On size, most passenger cars are the same AFAIK..

Im not sure about that

Last time when i tried to change my lug nuts, the shop told me they dont have my size, they only have this bla bla bla.. show me the nuts, some shorter length, some longer thread etc etc

Planning to change lug nut as a hindrance from rim theft also. But the ori one is too expensive i.e rm300+. While the cheap one looks can lost shape easily.

Friend of mine advise just skip the cheap anto-theft nut as he encountered a problem loosening it before and had to force open it.

Long or shrt thrread oso can fit..
I hv bought both..
Cheaper ones are alloy and those are usually the ones tat 'spoil'..
De 'McGard' honda ori ones are made of steel.. FYI..
Difference between lock nuts and regular lug nuts are their 'opening style' usually needing an adapter..

For rm200 i dont mind spending for the peace of mind

Where can i get the honda one? Straight at their Honda Parts? Or is it available outside?

Dont forget the photo bro.. smile.gif

Somebody said its cheaper at Hingan auto wo.. Dunno.. l am not from KL.. N ya, you can get em from Honda SC stockists oso..
Just a thought.. but a lock nut is only as good as the ability to get your adapter.. So...

This is not an entirely accurate assumption.

The rule of thumb for all vehicle manufacturers is that any 3rd party installations which causes problems with the car or its associated parts will result in that part / damage not being covered by the manufacturers warranty. This is a general clause to protect the vehicle manufacturer but even then it will need to be proven that the 3rd party add on did in fact cause the problem.

Window tints rarely cause any issues unless its too thick / heavy and damages the power window motor in the long run. Branded tints will not cause any such problems.

So for tints, I would say its perfectly alright to have it installed by a 3rd party authorised dealer.
*
Probably true but they[SC] will void warranty if they find its not an authorised accessory.. o yes, u can argue about 'proof' in court but how many wanna go tat far..

I didn't mean a court case to prove anything. Proof in this case is a logical explanation as to how that 3rd party accessory caused the problem. No car manufacturer is going to simply void warranty just to shift blame without reason.
*
If,

U fit unauthorised 'parts', its already 'reason' to void warranty.. whether they void it or not boils down to Customer Service..
There is a reason why the SA's threaten us wif unauthorised 'tints'..
But enough to say, you can try fitting an unauthorised tint .. bottom line is you will be the one facing everything..

Well i've had quite a bit of experience with warranty claims connected to 3rd party installed parts over the years with Toyota, Kia and now BMW. Hence my earlier statement. The only 'case' which I lost was with BMW when I installed a 3rd party reverse cam which was connected to the car's IDrive system. It didn't actually cause any functional problems since it was plug & play but since it caused a system update to fail, they insisted I remove it and install a original BMW cam.
*
I dunno abt Kia.. but l tink Honda SC is more particular [read fussy] about warranty claims than de other 2..
A tip I tink is worth hinting here is - keep a good relationship wif your SA, cos they can solve a lot of 'problems' - if u can catch my drift..

Hi - I received my 1.8 Civic Lunar Silver 1 month ago. The driver side plastic door panel is rattling. Has anyone encountered this problem?

Me,

Mine.. seems to be more pronounced after my Teins Flex change.. maybe the firmer ride caused it to become worse... to be fair, didnt notice before the fitment..
Haven't really bothered me enough to do anything yet.. smile.gif

There is also slight rattling from the steering wheel column something like plastics brushing against each other. The sounds comes from either the steering cover unit or below the dashboard at driver right side. It's not really affecting the car performance but being a 1st time honda car owner (and japanese car owner) is this interior rattling something expected from jap make? Note: i drove kancil, proton and hyundai previously. :-( maybe my expectations are too high for honda quality.

To my knowledge,

Hondas were pretty solid - l had an ol civic which was very solidly put together [hence another newer version..]
P2s n P1s are expected to rattle.. I had a Ford once n tat wasnt any better.. Dunno abt Kimchis thou'...

It retards the ignition so it burns less fuel - result is it kinda feels unresponsive ; no-power..

Happened to my Civic too. 2days after I got my car last August, the cover keep popup. Send back to Honda service center 3-4 times before they fixed it finally. Initially, They tried many methods and it didn't work. They even took  another newly deliver car cover and put into my car (very unprofessional by doing that. Fuck! What the hack!). Finally the pull the ring (the one the cover clip to) to make it larger and that solve the problem. Been 6 months now without issue.

Haha..

Tats typical of franchise workers.. I guess they only want results and replacing is the easiest cure..

Because it is he paste wax that u cant let stay longer, u apply at 1 panel, then wait 5-10 min have to wipe off, and it really not easy to buff off seriously, if u let it dry more time, it even hard to buff , while using meg liquiq wax, i can just apply to whole car, and just buff off so easily, the liquiq wax can stay no matter how long also easy to buff

I really hope soft 99 can last longer, its not fun to reapply every 3 month , end up i will used back liquiq wax if the soft99 fusso not long lasting

But in term of licin, fusso soft99 win hand down
