Hi bro, do you mind to share the waiting time? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply bro, whewwww 9 months...

hi guys, anybody applied PPF and mind to share which one around PJ that is reputable?

Sounds like a good deal. Knowing the owner personally enables you to know where the car has been, how it’s treated etc. There’s no perfect car but the remaining 3-4 years of warranty will give you a peace of mind for now, essentially.

hi guys, do you feel the gear knob gets a little bit 'wobbly' after some time? it doesn't rattle or anything it's just noticeable while holding it or am i just being ridiculous lolol

woah, mind to share what happened to the gearbox till need to change? What's the mileage when it happened?

I also notice this clicking sound, also hard to reproduce when I’m at SC. Mine to update us the result after checking it? TIA.

Is this the steering clicking noise issue?

Hi bro, do you mind to share which SC that you go? For this issue, does it happen whenever you turn to left or right or both? It's like ticking sound, can hear like it ticks 3-4 times if made a full turn?

I got mine diagnosed and SA mentioned that it's caused by the steering rack and they have ordered the replacement steering rack kit, perhaps around 2 weeks to 1 month. I'm afraid the ticking sound still persists after they change it and might be caused by the issue you mentioned (misalignment of airbag spring module).

Thanks.

RS 1.5 turbo comes with black rim. The one that you saw on the street could be an aftermarket one, or E/V specs converted to RS bodykit with silver rims (just guessing).

By default from factory, all RS 1.5 turbo comes with the black rims.

go with eHev then, or get V spec and install bodykit, or get RS and change to aftermarket rims, there are so many ways to do it, your wallet has the answer

I think E or V spec would suffice with your needs, drive it on eco mode and also have power on demand if you need for speed. RV for civic is generally good. Perhaps you can check carsome, mytukar etc. on civic FC resale value and could have the same projection with FE. Too early to talk about FE's resale value for now.

Nothing wrong in getting the hybrid, plenty of torque, mileage is good but can't say much about the resale value in the future, too early to tell or maybe you can use other car's hybrid model and check in the 2nd hand market.

steering rack issue - kok kok kok sound when turning

another issue with the steering is the "tik tik tik" sound when turning

both are caused by the steering rack issue or separate? i remember one member here mentioned about the clicking sounds caused by misaligned airbag pin or something...

so far ok, try to reinstall it?

1. Usually when you turn you need to interfere a lot, sometimes like sangkut a bit and you need to keep adjusting

2. The steering does not go back to the centre location, it just stuck a bit to left or right depending on your issue, you can keep it's a bit "keras"

3. You can notice it if you enable Lane Keep Assist (LKA) on straight line, the minor adjustment on steering keeps happening even though on the straight line because the car keeps going left or right hence the auto minor adjustment

non-exhaustive list, that's why the symptom is called "sticky steering"

still the same "sticky" feeling and it happened just like that?

Got it. Generally if it's not smooth then it's the rack, not accompanied by the "tuk tuk" sound..

wah slowly becoming M3 thread..

Where did you see this? Price still the same in HM official website

weird thing about my steering rack:
1. claimed once, and happened again after 2 months
2. made the second claim, now waiting for the rack but the weird thing it's back to normal so I'm not sure whether I should proceed with it or just pray that HM will improvise the replacement parts
