I did some looking around, not 100% sure on the possibility of swapping to a high spec JDM projector LED assembly. But it looks possible according to this facebook post, i am not good with FB but i screenshot it.



It looks to include all the necessary sockets to swap with our local Jazz halogen assembly. Price wise, don't look cheap. But, you know the SOP with "rare" stuff la.

Then a bit more searching and found this

I doubt it is RM2, more like RM2k as i seen some other used ones going for RM2xxx.

Browsing myjffc, i noticed some even done the aftermarket projector LED mod, i believe an "at all costs" project

If you are looking at a simple bulb swap, i was actually looking at Phillips X-treme Ultinon H4 replacement LEDs. I did a search and it seems to be available in Malaysia but price wise is not easy to stomach. Close to 1k for the bulbs. But i heard this are the best LED swaps as it has the right dispersion, focus and cut-off compared to all other aftermarket LED kits.

After some further reading on fitfreak, not GK5 specific but something nice to know

and some company in Malaysia that does projector retrofitting but lost the link.

Happy hunting

It is very hard to tell if the car is involved in accidents before especially the minor fender benders. If they just lost a bumper from an accident, i won't be too worked up from it for the money i can possibly save. But, it all depends on whether you are comfortable about it or not. If a more major accident that knocked up part of the chassis and stuff then i would be more concerned.

But a car sold within the 1st year with low mileage already would raise suspicions from either accidents or possibly a lemon unit. So, it would be hard to tell as the owner can keep all this things under wraps if they are not honest. So, you will have to take a risk with it even though it looks like a remarkably new car. If the savings are not that much over a new car. The 10 odd thousand that you can save over a period of 5 to 9 years is practically nothing on a monthly basis vs the risk or worry that you have to endure getting a used unit. Not to say that a new car would be problem free, but the chances are lesser. That is what my personal opinion is.

As for warranty, as long as the owner did the service at honda dealerships and have the service booklet chopped and acknowledge by the centers "on schedule". It should be safe to say that it is intact. But, might still want to check on how transfer of ownership reflects on the warranty with their policies.

It depends on the head unit. Each HU has their steering control systems or protocol. It is not a direct plug and play and it would most probably involve a ISO harness and converter and having to retrain the HU if it allows.

What sort of "not so makan" are you referring to? Fading, bite point, modulation related?

Changing pads might improve certain aspects of braking a bit but there might be some issues you have to tolerate like pad dusts and stuff.

There is not many affordable aftermarket calipers that you can look into unless you look into big brake kits. Taiwanese ones are not too pricey but still costs a few thousands. Anything reputable such as Spoon twinblock or Endless mini 4 pot are no cheaper than 6k to get the complete kit installed in new form. If you look into chop shop stuff it might be cheaper but usually hard to come by making it expensive most of the time.

So, pads are the most logical first try to improve braking. After that you can also try to look into steel braided lines although opinions differ on that. If it is not adequate from that point onwards, then you know what is the next steps. It is also good to look further into your possible options to branch out once you determine a pad change is not adequate. For instance Spoon Twin block utilizes the same brake hoses as stock which means even if you invest on a set of SBBH after your pads, you will be able to reuse them with the uprated calipers. Other BBK calipers might require different hoses due to the fitment of the hoses on the caliper end.

Must be Ulat Racing la, who else got so many time to make bars for every car in the malaysian market

Or cable tie your stock brake hoses

But ada EBD wor, brake force distribution should not be a question in the first place. Adjusting the drum pads are more on not having the pads rubbing excessively if i am not wrong.

WAT!!! you either never encounter traffic jams or it is constant downhill from the moment you start your engine

I think it is actually constantly running because there is no longer a fixed proportioning valve on the brake system to distribute front rear brake forces. However, the parameters and the characteristics of how Honda integrated it is actually unknown.

So, do they apply more force to the rears in initial brake application before the weight transfers to the front under braking is unknown. After that, i believe it relies on the individual wheel speed sensors with all the steering input and vehicle speed to determine which wheel with most grip can maximize the brake forces.

That is something i believe EBD is designed to do in general but like EPS. It depends on how each manufacturer dials the darn thing in.

You mean car finder? Like unlocking and locking the car which is silent now and only indicated by the indicator lamps, there is no longer car finder because i think it is considered noise pollution. Blame the crazy people for thinking this up.

Then i am not sure. But based on the sensors it work on which is from the ABS, it determines brake forces to individual wheels via multiple parameters and primarily via determining which wheel has the most grip. How would it know when it is carrying weight and make adjustments based on that. I am just saying this from a logical point of things la.

Anyways, not arguing. We do not know anything for sure unless we know how the actuator is designed to perform in depth.

Well, as i said. It is a risk you have to gauge and own up to it yourself as you are the one taking on the risk.

Weekend car or not, you still have to deal with it if it develop problems.

That is still quite impossible in the city to be frank. But, then if you managed to do it, kudos to you

That is a weird way of explaining EBD. But then, i think the actual logic is more complex than that layman explanation.

Yeah... i noticed taobao is a lot cheaper. I saw it at RM500++ also. But not sure if authentic or not.

I can hardly see 70kph on a good day.

It is not a size problem. It is more of a backplate template shape. The template numbering differs between pad makers. So, there is no universal representation for it across different brands.

You just tell them what car and what year you are driving and they should know what pads are available.

As for changing, it is up to you. General mechanic also can or if tyre shop willing to let you bring yours or you can accept whatever they sell also can. What you can do is just go to spare parts shop and ask what is the pricing in general first and then consider the shops offering. At least you know you are not being slaughtered. Take into account workmanship charges also.

You can't claim if buy from taobao. That is the only thing. Worst if dead on arrival. Consider total loss unless you want to go through the hassle of shipping it back and forth.

con job

YHI.. have to ask. They bring in all the enkei rims imported. If they don't want sell to end users. Ask where is their dealers with the one you want. RPF1?

Those bulbs are crap one la. If you can stretch it one year is considered bonus already.

Same one la.
