just try a bit, acceleration was great. If you one is manual transmission , then will be very "pick up". City body is lighter than Civic so power-to-weight ratio is good. rclxms.gif

A 2001-2002 unit selling between 35-40k would be fair. I'd ask for justification if d seller sells more then this.

There is/was a SX8 with Type Z converted front in W.Maju for sale in autoworld.com.my. Mayb s'one can ask d owner for pointers.

My gf is driving Type Z since 2003 till now. Her father bought it for her from a friend. Nice car, the best is it's FC, much more lower than mine 1.6 (M) Neo.

Anyway, mostly i've seen many women drive type Z than men...

Hello there, all.

I am buying a car soon. Budget allocated to this purchase would be somewhere around RM35-40k.

I am quite interested in an SX8 City for its low fuel consumption, and couldn't find much information about it. I hope you all can help me out here.

How is the ride, handling, acceleration etc? I tried googling all these but the sites are mostly about the new City's, or in Thai/Tagalog which I do not understand.

Also, are manual transmission City's available in Malaysia? If yes, are there any stock ones?

Pardon the questions, I am not very sure about Honda cars.

Many thanks!

For your budget, d Type-Z would fit nicely. But unfortunately they only came in Auto. The pre-facelifted models (1997-2000) had 1.3 n 1.5, both available wit auto n manual tranny. Previously I did read in some forum where a Type-Z owner replaced his auto unit wit a manual from an EG, but that was long long time ago. U'll probably b able 2get those pre-facelifted models below 30k.

Hi there,

I am planning to buy a car and i am quite interested in the Honda City SX8. I am wondering to buy SX8 from which year. Because my budget is not that high ( Below RM30k ), i wonder if i can get a good condition car.


Added on May 10, 2008, 1:22 pmTo add what i have written on top. I am interested in the 1.5 manual transmission. and what type of engine do they use? hehe..

Hi guys, I'm new here.

I'm really interested in TypeZ. It's my dream to own it one day as my first car smile.gif

I want to know are there several specs of TypeZ? Because, I had seen the normal TypeZ (with the TypeZ label at the back), with no label at all at the back, with only ZTi label, and there is also TypeZ label with LEV at the back.

If all above specs are different, then what is the difference, which is the best? I just know that TypeZ is VTEC and the LEV is Low Emission Vehicle.

Anyway, thank you.

Hi guys, I am in dilemma now. Just book a Honda City 1.5A vtec with ABS year 2002 @ RM 40,000.00. Expensive? It clocks mileage of 120k and 1 Mat Salleh owner with complete service records. Looks well maintained.

If compare this car with Proton Waja year 2004/2005 selling @ RM 35000.00 below, which one is better buy. The interior of this city looks a bit old (desk board) if compared with Waja, and Waja got good handling. Does standard Waja comes with ABS? Waja got good power and nice handling.

City owners, help me to decide this two. Thanks.

Bro, once u've placed the bookin better to look ahead. No point askin for opinions after that then cancelling and forfeiting the bookin money.

Look at it tis way. Since u did mention that it has full service history, u can almost b sure that d unit is in tip top condition. Plus, compared to a Waja, d City is unlikely to be associated with cheapo built quality, higher fc n not to mention the branding and reliability.

Personally I'd gladly trade in 'superior handling' characteristics for reliability and easier maintenence.

Yup it is type Z. Just check the cost of labour alone for 5k and 10k interval service at HSC. It is expensive, RM 50+ and RM 120+ respectively. Should i send to HSC ? What they check for 5k service and 10K service ? Can it be done cheaply outside ?

u guys still hang in LYN ka? come join us at here la:

http://www.myteamcity.com/viewthread.php?t...xtra=#pid174440

Anyways, i wanna answer ur questions as i experience it too

1. engine check light on and rpm go up/down = check the meter cable connecting to ur Auto gearbox. for my car the meter cable snaps intermittent. so, sometimes the meter does not connect to the spinning of the gearbox causing the rpm needle to drop.. there is a signal that feed to ECU from the meter spinning, so due to this, ECU detect as a fault and lights up the Engine Check light. So what i did was just replace the meter cable and check the meter cable boot (the rubber) that hold the meter in place at AT gearbox there.

2. rpm idle too low = probably due to ur throttle body dirty. try clean it. i solve my low rpm idling by just cleaning the TB by myself.

3. from N to D4 if have ngek sound is normal for old AT gearbox. if ur driving doesnot happen a big THUD when downshift/upshifting, then ur GB is still OK.. (not critical). i just change my gearbox to a recon unit.. still has been 2-3 weeks of going in and out of workshop to clear remaining problems. and cost me a lot too.. arnd 4K.

anyways, we at myteamcity.com welcome all of u OLDSKOOL CITY drivers.. come join us there.. even more sifu there to give advice and esp to burn hole in ur poket with their superb mods.. hehehe thumbup.gif

hi, the check engine light kinda no come out liao, it turns out that the oil leak inside the electronic distributor. dunno what lai de also... the 500rpm going up down the tech says is kinda like OD gear for our 4 speed gearbox called smart gear? in chinese "zhi hui gear" its normal.

for problem 2, the rpm idle too low solve by driving it more, the tech removed the battery and then it kinda resets.

for problem 3, my gearbox when engage from n to d4, the sound is like... crakkkkkk then engage. but very fast la, the gearbox like normal and only got sound come out and from gear 1 to gear 2 got the thud sound, the car jerk infront. forgot my team city password now i resetting it.

Wanna ask you guys, have you experience muffler damaged problem due to age of the SX8?? i found quite alot of them already changed their stock muffler to after market muffler. Mine was the fibre inside the muffler no more already, which causes the rattling sound when car idle.
I saw comgeek changed his exhaust system already. I wonder how much to change to a 4-2-1 extractor to kill off my catalytic converter since i think my FC is quite high. RM50 bucks for 320km under heavy traffic jam everyday (new air filter, 5w-40 Fully Synthetic oil, new Denso Iridium plugs using IK16). Suspect my CATCON clogged already due to the age of the car.

i used to drive a type z vtec from 2003 till 2009, I bought it new and it was a problem free car..only thing was i had to change the oxygen sensor twice. Once was still under warranty the other was just recently before i changed the car. The car was near perfect, the fellow who bought it is a lucky fella...hehe.

The fuel consumption was very good and the power was also sufficient. for those who are planning to upgrade from a sx8 to a type z vtec,if it is at a good price go ahead. Even 03 reg models are very affordable now..happy driving.

mostly is your gearbox. u better check if there is any gearbox fluid or not. if really unfortunate the gearbox spoil, then you may have to buy a new gearbox.

Hi... I bumped to this thread today while searching for parts.

I have a "family owned" City 1.5 1997 5M/T, dark green like dark blue at a glance - bought new.
It was a nice car to drive until the family bought a new Civic 2.0 and the City is passed down to my brother or I would say abused by him.

Heard the car's plight and the fond memories with it, I took back the car for 2 weeks recovery. Here's my initial assessment of the car's condition after having it back for 3 days (in blue what I plan to do):

Engine bay:
Engine cover changed to hyper 16 valve (I belive this is City Z series cover).
Also told by my brother that his mechanic friend upgrade the engine and port polish the head etc.
Gasket and valve seal leaking - his mechanic my #$%^$ - to replace
Power steering pump leaking - luckily steering rack is ok - to service
Drive shaft cover right side torn - to replace
Steering rack cover both side torn - to replace

Exterior:
Heavy 2 lines scrathed due to irresponsible parking manner by my bro - body restoration/ paint
Red Honda emblem on the front gone - to replace
Left side spotlight cover broke - to find new pair
Side mirror left side faulty - to replace/ looking for electronic/ fold if available or can fit any other Honda model
Dented at left side of the car could be because of my bro hit the pavement - body restoration/ paint
Antenna and parking pole gone - Antenna to replace. Parking pole to discard under body restoration/ paint
Looking for bodykit - saw nice oem Thailand City Bodykit back in 2006 in Bangkok

Interior:
Power window kit both front side faulty - cannot wind down but still heard motor working - to find replacement & damn hard to find
I.C.E - Sony explode still sounds good
Speedometer snapped - to replace
The wood finish panel gone - I'm looking for carbon fibre panel if exist
Steering changed to Honda 4WD steering - CRV? - considering black civic EG9 steering with red sticthes
Massaging switch gone
Auto rear blind gone
Ozone air ourifier not sure working or not
Stock City 1.5 fabric seat

Wheels and suspension:
Still stock City 1.5 sports rim
Spring cut - stupid - to replace with sports spring
Suspension - worn out - stupid coz this is because my bro cut the spring - to replace with gas shock or gas/oil shock

I hope fellow City owners could assist me for the parts I'm looking for.
Those power steering, drive shaft parts, shocks to replace already order and awaiting to be changed

Heard the car's plight and the fond memories with it, I took back the car for 2 weeks recovery. Here's my initial assessment of the car's condition after having it back for 3 days (in blue what I plan to do):

Engine bay:
Engine cover changed to hyper 16 valve (I belive this is City Z series cover).
Also told by my brother that his mechanic friend upgrade the engine and port polish the head etc.
Gasket and valve seal leaking - his mechanic my #$%^$ - to replace
Power steering pump leaking - luckily steering rack is ok - to service
Drive shaft cover right side torn - to replace
Steering rack cover both side torn - to replace

Exterior:
Heavy 2 lines scrathed due to irresponsible parking manner by my bro - body restoration/ paint
Red Honda emblem on the front gone - to replace
Left side spotlight cover broke - to find new pair
Side mirror left side faulty - to replace/ looking for electronic/ fold if available or can fit any other Honda model
Dented at left side of the car could be because of my bro hit the pavement - body restoration/ paint
Antenna and parking pole gone - Antenna to replace. Parking pole to discard under body restoration/ paint
Looking for bodykit - saw nice oem Thailand City Bodykit back in 2006 in Bangkok

Interior: 
Power window kit both front side faulty - cannot wind down but still heard motor working - to find replacement & damn hard to find
I.C.E - Sony explode still sounds good
Speedometer snapped - to replace
The wood finish panel gone - I'm looking for carbon fibre panel if exist
Steering changed to Honda 4WD steering - CRV? - considering black civic EG9 steering with red sticthes
Massaging switch gone
Auto rear blind gone
Ozone air ourifier not sure working or not
Stock City 1.5 fabric seat

Wheels and suspension:
Still stock City 1.5 sports rim
Spring cut - stupid - to replace with sports spring
Suspension - worn out - stupid coz this is because my bro cut the spring - to replace with gas shock or gas/oil shock

I hope fellow City owners could assist me for the parts I'm looking for.
Those power steering, drive shaft parts, shocks to replace already order and awaiting to be changed

For the 1.3 D13B ones, it was around 70k.
The 1.5 D15B ones, u add another 5k on top of the 1.3 version.
If you refer to the Type-Z which was launched in 1999, that one is almost the same as current City sold today.

leaking issue is common for SX8 (same goes to other cars which almost 10 years)

if from timing belt side, just replace the seal/gasket at that area such as camshaft seal, crankshaft seal, oil sum gasket, valve cover seal.. smile.gif

steering rack can be repaired..it need 6 hours to be repaired..

u can contact Kent form xd-auto..cost around Rm500 ++

Hi all sifu,

Need some help here.

My sx8 type z having the Master Pump problem. The brake seems not smooth and will locked the tire immediately when I slowly pressed. Difficult to explain the situation, hope u understand.

My mech said the Master Pump(Round black box) difficult to find at chop shop. Any idea where can I buy this part?
BTW, I'm in Penang.

Thks.


Added on July 6, 2011, 9:22 am
Just an update and keep this topic alive.

I've found the Master Pump(double pump,better than original) at chop shop in Penang. Cost me rm250, installation done by my mech, rm50.
Problem solved.

Door panel/door trim are hard to find, been searching for almost 2 years. doh.gif
As the last resort..replicate the original with fiberglass.
Found a seat refurbish shop at bukit kemuning klang who can do it and i'm satisfied with the end product.

Hi all, first of all sorry if I posted at the wrong thread. I have a Honda City 1.5 IDSI 2003 and recently when I fix the alignment, the guy told me that he heard a weird noise, and he asked me to go check the gearbox. My question is, is this a sign of gearbox failure? When I drive I heard a low noise, like coming from the left side, but I cannot be sure. So far I don't have any problem with changing gear. Any idea? I would like to get some opinions before I send the car to the mechanic. Thanks!

Hi, I am Nicholas. I have a Silver 1.5M City SX8. I found that it is a bit hard to find replacement parts sometime for my aging car.

My rear seat condition has been deteriorating due to collapsing sponge. I did a few 'implant' with new sponge but not working well. Any suggestion where can I replace it? It's better if can recommend half cut shop in KL that stores part of this model.

I need to replace my exhaust muffler too. It has been making loud noise since few month ago and fc has been increasing. Any nice exhaust shop can recommend too?
Thank you in advance, Bro.

Just would like to get some advise here regarding a City Type Z year 2002 fitted with D15B VTEC engine that I bought recently for my dad's usage.

I know it shares the similar parts as Civic EF / CRX & does the suspension (absorbers) are identical as well?
