Hey guys. I hear harsh (grinding) sound during cold start. Once warmed up is sounds ok. Is that normal? (Need to keep door open to hear)

Well, if you wax your car often in shops then it may make sense to coat with the reasonably priced ones. If rajin DIY then keep the money

Wah!! Means must drop the transmission ??!!

2 months car... Considering now to complaint or wait

I think SC team go eat the famous banana leaf rice in Seremban

Definitely 1.5 hands down if got extra cash. I swap mine with my friends 1.8 for test drive, difference in power is very obvious. But only thing is for some reason his 1.8 seem a bit quieter than mine. However, he did not regret choosing the 1.8 due the price difference.

I drove to JB from Melaka over the weekend. Did not realize i was going 170+. Music gets louder when you speed so you don't realize the wind noise and speed until next song change

Problems I had with my TCP:
1. Engine grinding during cold start
2. Front bumper gap big (but ok according to HM standard)
3. Back boot doesn't close if you slam hard. It beeps and opens back. HM will look into this on my next visit. they said will change change boot lock mechanism.
4. In general Honda maintenance cost is not cheap

Must have appointment. Otherwise they layan you like they do not want you there. Make you wait for no reason.

True that. Mine, wind noise if above 130kmh. Normally if music on you wont notice that much due to volume auto increase when you speed.

Unfortunately tyre noise all the way no matter fast or slow

Wind noise for Civic not good on high speed compared to Altis but obviously better than City. Tyre noise is terrible. My personal opinion. As far as drive is concern FC beats hands down.

My friends FC changed to Michelin was better for a short while, after a while the tyre hardens then it becomes the same. I am guessing its the wheel arch and the boot floor that is not well insulated.

Next round I will change to Michelin. It's generally quieter at least while its still new. But once it wears down and hardens, noise will be the same on all brands. All options considered Civic is still worth its price in terms of drive and safety.

Rubber seal?? Adakah?

Accord?? Maybe before the 9th generation. Don't get me wrong i love my Civic but NVH doesn't even stand up to Altis (forget about Camry and Accord)

Interesting... Where to get??

Hehe... Individual preference i guess. But I regularly drive both 9th Accord and Altis long distance. Altis is less responsive and feels like an old mans car but comfort wise is better than Civic. Accord is a different class altogether so i wont even compare. This is my personal opinion.

This may help wind noise, i would want it to get it too.

Tyre noise is vibration that travels through the body so door and window protection doesn't help most of the time.

Will definitely help a bit when new and rubber fluffy... after a while back to normal once rubber sudah kemek

Where to buy?

Nevermind, saw the link under image. Thanks

I am driving up to Klang this Sunday to do the rubber seal at Shorty's. Its RM230 for all 4 doors. I let you know if there is a difference during my drive back to Melaka

Good for you buddy. Please share here where and how so everyone can benefit and compare.

That would be more useful

I will look see look see what Shorty is selling and decide. If he use cap ayam then i am not interested as it will peel off easily.

Thanks Bro. I will look see what brand Shorty is selling then decide.
