Yo steven, did you check any for sparkle grey? Some idiot just open their car door without any consideration of the car beside. Just got a small chip (color peel off) at the side door. Sigh ... people nowadays...

Hwy redevil, how much you bought your tweeter? what brand? I might wanna add to my vtec as well ...

Yeah, spend a little more money on a good tint. It's going to be worth it. Trust me. I regret doing mine @ 900++ for Aircool. Heat rejection su*ks big time.

My steering lock could even burned my hand when I park under the sun for a few hours.

Damn.

Added on March 10, 2008, 9:00 pmBy the way, any of you guys experience transmission CVT failure for the recent batch?

I heard from a reliable source that everyday there's still at least one new car having CVT failure. That scares me really.

I thought it was solved by Honda during the earlier batch. But according to my source, they did improved it but the problem is still there.

Guys, I just notice my sparkle grey paint when under sun light, I can see the paint is not even. It's like there's a wave pattern on it.

Should I complaint this to the SC? Do you think they will repaint the whole car for me? It's only millage 3k.

15 bucks for the car wash? Wah. Not necessary 1k service got car wash. Mine don't have. Only perform inspection. I know how it feels when the paint got scratched. especially only one month car.

Added on March 24, 2008, 2:52 pmThat is bad dude. The sound is loud. I tried mine @ 120km/h don't have the sound but engine sound kinda loud. Using vtec here.

I have this problem as well for the upper glove box. Did not bring it over to the SC as I scared they might make it worst. I DIY by tightening up the metal holder which hold the closure. I use tape to make it ticker so that it could hold it more firmly.

The sound gone after that

Mine also not accurate. Sometimes I can get 13km/l but the meter shows only 11km/l. so not really accurate.
My vtec already 3k plus plus but the consumption still around 12 to 13 max. Is that normal?

Yeah, the honk like some sissy car only. Cannot scare people also.
I will try to rev my car and see if it will improve the fc.

Just pump full tank this afternoon, 76 bucks.

My Full tank around 75 bucks can only go average of 430km (city driving - Penang island)
I did keep track my calculation. Maybe I can post it up later ..

Anyone in Penang knows a good body workshop? Fix dented and paint?
My 5 months Vtec got knock at the side door. (dented and minor scratches)

I know bringing this back to Honda will cost me a bomb (they still sub it out to outside shop)
So I was thinking go straight out.
What I'm worrying is the paint. Will it fade after years? As our original paint that came out from factory has a protection layer on it right? Wonder if the outside workshop did that as well?

Color - Sparkle Grey

Added on May 24, 2008, 4:46 pmThey always give the spare tire smaller than our outside 4 biji one.
It's definitely not 15".
It's either 14" / 13" not too sure but confirm is smaller.

Got my VTEC for 5 months already but only use the 7 Speed twice.
But the 7-Speed is useful when you climb hill. You can adjust the speed so that you can climb with more power.
That's what I think the good side of 7-Speed.

On normal road, there's really nothing special about it.

According to my SA, using S when climbing hill will waste a lot more petrol. Not sure how true is that.
How's your FC these 1.5 years?

Mine average 15 cents per KM (city driving) Highest I can go is only 450KM.

What is the standard size for out Vtec? I know it's 15" but the XXX/XX/15.
Will our rims fit other size? As in the width? Or if change have to change the rims as well? I would like to maintain my honda stock rims if can.

Our stock tyre width quite thin. Look from behind it's like a big bulky body on a small thin tyres.

IC, what is 195? What is 55?
The reason I want to maintain my Honda rims is because I don't want my car to be sporty.
I want it to maintain professional and yet have a larger width to eliminate the "kaki itik" view from behind.

Added on May 28, 2008, 1:51 pmYeah, I agree that my Vtec suspension is a bit hard. When going through some holes/uneven roads, it's like riding a horse.
But there's a reason to it I assume, the engineers design it this way so that it could cope with our engine power?

Nothing much on 1st service.
Ask them to check your alignment, they did not do the alignment when out from factory I think. But nothing to loose. FOC one ma.. hehe

Check your accessories.. plastic parts... to ses if they're creating any sound
Should be nothing much.

Because it is a new car. The aircond is still new. Maybe you can try put ambi pur or glades to eliminate the smell

What kind of sound? Can you be more specific? How loud is loud?
As for mine I don't think have any sound when I shift the gear to R. Maybe slightly "thub" sound but very soft only.

Normally I will press the ledge and shift to R from P. All the while I did not have any "loud" noise ler. Maybe you should bring your car over to the SC for a check. No harm since it's free ..
