P Zero are usually 18" and above. Unless you are looking to swap to 18". Kinda out of luck.

My bad, it does

It is available on the old tread pattern and not on the new pz4 tread pattern. The new pz4 is only available on the 18’ and above range.

Nope, accessories shop outside, universal device actually, not specific to civic. If you want to save the rm300, just press the button in the car. Don’t worry..... a lot of things you can mod on this car.

If never brake for bump, most sedan will hit the bump with 3 adult at the back. FYup course ur depends on the speed, weight of total 3 adult, height and angle of bumps.

Im using Philips Crystal Vision 4300k. Much better than original. Whiter light but still a bit yellowish vs DRL. About RM 180.

If change to LED, look nicer. pure white. But at night when raining is harder to see compared to original yellowish bulb.
*
Unless HID yooo.... Philip HID kit, with the ballast and all. I used to have them on my previous crv, amazing light, coupled with the Philip DRL, as I often use the back road from selangor to Lumut ( relatively busy road but with almost 0 street lights).

Try not to use CC6 bro..... it’s kind of dangerous for this car as per se. As this car gives you the confidence at high speed and cornering, using inferior tyres would be dangerous as you would still assume the same performance for your tyres. MC5 are performance tyres while CC6 are eco tyres, both different in terms of logetivity and performance.

totally agree with you. I think it alter the spring's compression or something.
As for cornering/spirited driving best is see how far we want it to be...

1. add more safety bars
2. lower springs / sports suspensions
3. adjustable

the latter the costlier also...
*
Actually I heard about this product before, very dangerous to have on a car.

Yes it alters the compression rate of your suspension, but u need to understand how. It forces the spring to not compress at certain region (where you install this on the spring). What comes next is that the next time u go through roads (or carry too heavy load) where your suspension typically bottoms out, it exerts additional force on a smaller area of the spring. This means 2 things:-

1. Short term, it is an additional risk that your spring might give way mid drive, as your spring might not be designed for these additional load on a small area of the spring.
2. Long term, u will lose your spring faster, as it wears at specific area more than others.

Usually this is the wrong method, what u want to do is to retune your absorber (the correct way). And if have the budget to change spring. You are very lucky to not have issue with your spring for many years, it also depends on how you drive, your road condition (bumpy or lot of potholes etc), but generally this device reduces your suspension capability and if sc sees this, suspension warranty gone.

1. My purpose for this just to warm up the car without ac with using remote control.

2. Other country civic remote can right ?

1. Yes you can remote start without turning on the AC, when you off the car, you have to off AC first.

2. Yes, cheapo Honda Malaysia didn’t include this in our package, this and amongst other stuff.

Actually, it is pointless to warm up the cars nowadays. It is a proper waste of petrol and you are polluting the earth by burning fossil fuels without converting the energy into working for you.

So, warm up is a pretty bad idea nowadays. Instead of warming up your car. Drive it gently in the first few minutes instead to get the car up to temperatures before you give it the beans. I know some people just drive out of their parking lot and straight away pedal to the metal, but if you can spare a few minutes for letting the car warm up it will be a better way than to let it idle there.

Furthermore, if it is from a cold start and to wait for the car to get fully up to normal operating temperatures which is slightly less than 50% of the temp gauge. It takes a long time, not just 30 to 60 seconds. I remember waiting a morning for the car to warm up idling in the parking to check for some stuff and it took quite a lot of minutes before the rad fan even kicks in.

So... warming up... BAD IDEA

It is not a remote thing as i trust the remote are the same. It is most likely the ECU as everything is canbus controlled nowadays and they decided this is some dumb things malaysians do not deserve to have. It is most probably a good strategy to remove it in case some idiot accidentally hit the right button presses and not knowingly wind down all windows while they walk away and then the car get ravaged or stolen or some weird things. Not entirely sure if the window winds up again after a certain period though but the logic might be there, or not. Not sure.

As you know malaysians, any potential feature can have it's pros and cons. And i think it is something they might have thought of and decided to kill it so they do not get into trouble for it even if it is 1% of people that make a pointless complaint to them. Social media is lethal nowadays.
Some of the tricks in there are meant for the USDM 10th gen Civic. I remember trying one or two and it didn't work. The windows wind down being one or i did it wrongly.



This too does not work as far as i know for people who want to leave their cars with occupants inside running with A/C but locked up.
*
The windows does not auto wind back up. It takes a lot of effort to initiate this logic (to press hold the button ), that’s is y it’s not easy to accidentally wind down all windows. It’s just Honda Malaysia cut cost, didn’t include the auto wind down function module( just like they didn’t include the auto fold module for side mirrors).

FYI, if you drive bmw, you also have the wind down window function.this and other car brands.

Is anyone bothered by not having the foldable rear seat?

My old car has that feature but I don’t really use it often, if at all. Though it is nice to have it there in case I need to move long items or furniture
*
Cost cutting man I tell u ...... but yea, so I usually go to ikea with my viva for those strange sized stuff. But other than that, rarely needed. It’s like cars, usually 1 driver, no rear passenger and mostly no front passenger, but if offer u rm 100k for cars without rear door only, most ppl will avoid.

Same goes if u travel to indon, u will see lots of avanza with manual, they prefer “big” sized cars but cheap price, inside no need auto or even the latest car play or aa. Some cars can be offered without radio too.

Maybe its just my thinking. Reason i said 3 yrs change car cos  ur car still got value n if lucky, u get to sell with almost zero settlement with bank. Its a ballpark figure. Exceed tht and u may sell ur car at a lost plus top up ur loan settlement wif bank.  Its an opportunity cost option. Anyway, just enjoy the civic wait for the facelift or new accord. Its a game changer bro. I believe the next level would be enhanced safety features, honda sensing, lane watch n no gear knob cars. Ours now elek apa pun tak da. Turbo saja.
*
For the facelift etc, when launching overseas, everything have. By the time reach Malaysia, more than half gone, some of the parts replaced by cheaper plastic to reach (made in Malaysia) target. New accord also this year won’t arrive I believe. And even if arrived, might be priced higher (unless they are able to local make lots of parts).

You’re doing 10,000km service? And they told you to replace the charcoal filter??? It’s only supposed to be replaced at the 30,000km service! Also, the wheel alignment balancing can be done outside for a cheaper rate too. You can make a complaint bro. Bullshit story
*
I can confirm. Some even kena up to rm1k by adding things up to the brim. Basically the rule of thumb is, follow the book from Honda. Anything not in the book is extra and considered upsale.

I always disagree that these technical person should sell these stuff, leave it to a separate team to maintain professionalism. If not, it’s hard for layman to distinguish what is ex -work what is needed. It’s like going to the doctor and half of the medicine is just for the doctor to achieve monthly sales target. Not saying the world is perfect, but sometimes not everyone is knowledgeable in these.

I told him according to the website the change is 30000km.....his reply is website outdated and his 's following the SOP list in the system and you need to change, if take out warranty void for aircon.

now i have this offcial receipt, where can i make complain?
*
Saying the website and book is outdated as an excuse is new and creative 😂. First time I hear this reason. Send the complain to Honda malaysia I guess. Probably go to the sc and talk to the manager see his response, maybe it’s a rogue SA, or maybe it’s this specific SC de sop. If the manager insist it’s the latest service list, ask to provide the latest booklet/ letter or ask him to write and sign it, the least is record the conversation.

Excuse me people. I need advise. I'm waiting for my car to arrive. Originally ordered with Urban package (price RM 2408). But now, my SA informed me no stock on the urban package. He offered me orignal OEM (so he claims) installed at discounted price (RM 2000).

Do you think I should take it? Its not installed by honda but by outside workshop. My main concerns is if the OEM parts not as good as original, maybe color not match? Should I get these parts myself? Is the price fair?

Thank you.
*
A waste of money, even if it’s done outside. Could have gotten cheaper but he want to earn more from you. If you want color match then get urban package , tell him u want to wait.

It is actually oil change and oil change + oil filter change. Not normal or turbo oil

If you want to avoid double trips, do it sooner than later.  Or as your predetermined service comes up
*
It’s actually oil change + oil filter and everything else. 1.5 T has a decoupled oil change schedule.

But yes, do it sooner should be ok. Approx 100km plus minus will save you the hassle. Nonetheless depend where you stay, even if book now, some service center only have slot 3 weeks or a month later (will surely exceed the km, but fret not, it does not explode nor issue a warning that your warranty is over).
