I presume he's mentioning abt the japan release of the new city/fit aria? off course not Malaysian release lorr.. we'll get a new city only after ALL our neighboring country gets them... and i can see a 2009 release for us the earliest trust me.. damn long to wait..

thats maybe why honda made the recent facelift so fast after the 4th gen facelift.. they want to 'increase' the shelf life of our current city until say 2009...

my previous car, a kelisa, only around RM16 per tyre..

so expect around rm30 for a Honda maybe? just estimate.. dun know exact price..

try ask DelSol.. if he can find his service receipt lorr

That's quite high in normal standards @ 11km+/L imho..

but it all depends on driving style and drive condition. your FC will be good if you tend to make long journeys, at constant speed (i.e hiway), but will indeed rack up if you make a lot of short distance trips, before the engine can properly heat up (i.e <20km). Dont expect great FC if you tend to travel short distances a lot.

you can also try and look in here for a lot of Vtec FC feedback and you can at least project what's the best FC for vtec:

*courtesy of teamcity forums

and yeah.. 26.2km/L is damn BS to me, unless its 100% hiway @ 60km/h, for i-dsi the best i got on a 100% hiway trip (35L) was a mere 22km/L @ 80-110km/h, with the occasional 7speed stints .

cheers!

Congrats dude..! at long fkn last..

so how long was the wait? 2mths ah?

hope u enjoy ure new 'wife' hehe..

cheers!

Wah apisgogo.. just noticed.. now your avatar oso changed to your City's headlight.. nice


Crap.. now that's saved by the bell.. erm alarm.. Real horror la hearing your story.



Extra locks are a must if you own nice cars like the City nowadays.. if we dont hv the bucks and commitment to subscribe to gps tracking alarms etc, at least buy reliable locks.. dont be so cheap and buy those RM9.90 Giant ones. Go for the stoplocks etc, the t-rex brands are also a cost effective options if your that tight on budget.

Vtec's arent that much of a fuel guzzler when comparing it to other cars in its class (1.5L) imho.. still it depends on your driving style.. if ure not a speed hog, sure easily can get 15km/l in a vtec...

FC -> i-dsi (hands down) - my all time best was 18.6km/l only
Power -> vtec ( ..hands down)
maintainance -> if got warranty ( ) if warranty fin (ready your cash laa.. )

but real bummer la now i-dsi got no 7speed.. come to think bout it i bought the city solely bcoz of the 7speed.. but i really seldom use it, unles overtaking and just to show-off at colleagues.. maybe there's logic in honda's decision to remove it frm new idsi's.. if FC is your concern, by all means go for idsi.. a fuel price hike is just arnd the corner you know..

Hmm.. just got the 18.6km/l abt 2-3 times only.. but i usually rack a 17km++/l almost everytime.

Too bad im using a 3gen city, no onboard FC indicator Im calculating FC using normal full tank method. fill up, re-zero odometer, and divide total distance traveled with total liters pumped in. As in, if my tank is full at 35L, and travelled 620km, i just divide 620/35 = 17.7km/l

fuel hike eh? its a good thing I bought myself an idsi ... by the looks of it, and some rumors ive heard, its expected fuel prices will go up 40-60sen wooo.. im betting on an RM2.5/L...

Hmm.. obviously the solution is to go to Honda lor.. for sure they can help you out. Or you can try out Cobra Alarm Malaysia's center in TTDI, heard before that they provide repairs and service for our cobra alarms.. summore, if you go to honda, still they'll pass the issue to cobra.. in the end takes more time imho...

really cant help on the cost though...

Holysht.. 150 for the carpet? is this the one they hv to cut out from the large roll of carpet or the packaged type? oso planning to get some carpets, was budgeting 50-60 only..


from my experience driving both idsi & vtec City:

Idsi -> 88Bhp
Idsi (maintain 80-100km/h only, RPM <2K) - up to 20km/L +
Idsi (normal drive conditions, RPM 2-3K) - 16-18km/L +
Idsi (always speeding, high RPM >3K) - 13-15km/L +

Vtec -> 110bhp
Vtec (normal drive conditions) - 13-16km/L +
Vtec (always speeding, high RPM) - 10-12km/L +

mind you, that these arent exact figures, these are just what i experienced driving my own idsi and my friend's vtec. But im sure these numbers will give you some idea of what to expect from an idsi and vtec.

If the scratch is not long, deep, or big, you can try DIY touch-up paints for cars. Yo can get a bottle (30ml) for about RM21.90 at Eneos One Utama and paint yourself (or force your neighbor to do it for you ). Check your car's color code/name (e.g. Vogue Silver) and then try hv a look see at the paint catalog available there at the shelf. Most Honda car colors are available last time i check.

Dunno its effectiveness though coz i too am planning to hv a try. But it does looks promising.

Ok dude, if stumble upon a trip to eneos ill give a look see for ya..

Supposedly it can, as its selling points are covering minor scratches and chipped paint. Ive yet to try it myself. planning to buy a bottle myself and try coz my car too got small white dots.. maybe this weekend..

if it works ill post it up here

should be normal.. with all the tiny rock and pebbles flying around on the highway.. real bad if your on the rear those sand carrying lorries..

last time i checked, in November.. nighthawk black pearl, satellite silver, vogue silver all got.. and a whole lot more coz it was a big catalog couldnt remember all loh.. dun know if now still got or not..

Hi guys..

Again abt the city carpets..

just a shot in the dark.. but does anyone know how much does an ori set of carpets from honda cost?

was looking for the aftermarket 'hairy' rubber carpets, the ones that the shops need to cut from a huge roll.. but those babies cost abt RM100++

just want to know, if ori carpets cost around the same price, i think its better for me to get ori carpets then..

need some feedback on this..

thanks in advance.

Lol.. so busy no time to post la .. also so long havent been to TC web.. haish..

What you guys think, my 40K major service is coming up, and im not that keen to fork up RM800++ for the service.

Do we have an option to choose what to change and what not to change during service? or its a predetermined package?

summore, is it true that honda genuine service parts are at 25% discount now? normally was 15%, any feedback on this?

thanks in adv!

Lol.. if they do give me a supercharged engine, 800 is a small price to pay lol.. ill get it anytime .

anyways, for 40K its stated in Honda website around 700++, 500+ parts, 200+ labor cost. but if according to iRonTech, 800+ cost includes aircon services.. hmm..

Its supposed to be the last FOC service, but i bought my city 2nd hand @ 20K mileage last yr, and warranty already kaput DEC 07. so hv to pay up la now.. haish..

so your saying, 800+ includes aircon service?
