i oso jz got mine in less than a month....
my mileage currently already above 2k, oredi whacking....
FC still not stabilize...and i had a damaged fuel strainer lately, causing fuel to spill out after full refuel...
could be a factory defect...i haven lodge any report or complaint on this yet....not sure if i wanna do so....
since SC doin its good job for me....only problem now is petrol smell in air cond vent not go away yet....

suggestion for before 1st service, don whack...but still drive to different condition...to test out every part of ur car.....the earlier u spot any faulty part, the better....hope u r lucky to get a stable car....without issue....jz enjoy light foot la...since RM2.70/l now...

in Lowyat.net thread, one join by jz post here....there is another official City forum, which is http://www.myteamcity.com
you can check out there too....

a spoiler wont affect much on car like city actually, merely for style/look. however, if it is weight enof, it could contribute some drag, stability....of coz FC....higher(makan), not lower...

mostly watever part u modified, that particular part, and its related part, will most likely void....but not other non-related items...

Want to ask...it the gear control useful to get good fc???cheers

u mean the +/- button + 7-speed?
giv u better power output when u r on hilly road, subjective if its good fc or not...still depend how driver steps

the gear knob is locked in P, and is not movable without stepping on brake(after start engine)
and u cant start ur car actually if ur knob is not on P
in the case if ur car break down, and need to move it, but P is lock up there, u can jz insert ur car key into that slot...
then u can move it
dats y some city owner install brake pedal lock, without the brake pedal, u cant simply move the car...

the 7 speed mode gives you better power..the gear ratios will be closer so they tend to rev higher to giv better power output. doesnt save FC. for FC best is just use normal D.

i think i should have gotten vtec...is there any chance to change from idsi engine to vtec???.....my mum driving the car....she said it is better fc compare to kancil 660 auto...lol...

U mean implant vtec to IDSI? Pratically it can be be installed but it's not worth as u need to change a lot of thing too..

this morning sent my city to 15k service. Just now just picked up the car. good service.

btw: asked abt little tiny dent and scratch on my bonnet, they said have to respray the whole bonnet and gonna cost me RM400.. aiyah, just tiny dent also have to respray whole bonnet... maybe gonna go to normal workshop.. or just leave it.. hm..

I know someone who has done it, total cost about RM10k.

exchange engine btw iDSI & VTEC??

yes, his car was involved in an accident n front engine part was damaged. went to scout for a vtec engine at halfcut n swap it in.

Just swap it in? How bout the solid disc brake at the rear one? I dun think so it fit for IDSI.

Half Cut ... is it reliable and the same as the OEM Engine?

I don't really trust Half-Cut Engines since you don't know what the hell has been done to it...more over, selling your car with half pass six engines is risky and scary.

If i were to be in your situation, i would probably opt for a OEM VTEC engine, cost will be more, but heck you even get a warranty - plus its NEW and no worries at all.

but that's just me,

cheers

Thought Honda City's seats are memang water proof?

new models only...earlier models absorb water...

thats where your contacts play an important role. its a halfcut OEM engine. rear disc conversion can be done plug and play. theres already conversion kit selling in the market for idsi or Honda Fit VTEC. these two versions uses drum brake for rear. theres no need to change the rear to disc. just upgrade your front to a better braking system. Wilwood,Exzess,RunStop,VTTR,Silvers big 4 pot or mini 6 pot all are sufficient. Our car braking displacement is 70:30 so anything, start upgrade on the front first.

Conversion Kit
Comes with the followings;
1. Brand New 285mm Rear Rotor (Taiwan made)
2. Brand New OEM Honda rear Calipers
3. Brand New OEM Honda rear brake pads
4. Brand New Steel braided Brake Hose (Taiwan made)
5. Ferodo Dot 4 brake fluid
6. Brand New Bracket for this Conversion kit.
