^ yeah.. it's like something you'd find to get combo attacks (or cheats) in a console game! haha. no offence... i just think it's kinda weird.

Rev. for 3-5 seconds also cannot be more than 3k rpm?

Fuel line stuck...that's why can't rev pass 3k....
Or your right foot is too light...hehe

12 secs? nice timing! it's hard for mine to rev that way. i used to floor a bit after any toll, but not any more. can't afford petrol so much these days!

Nice pick up there. VTEC or IDSI should be able to perform this too.

@cikun, car pick up sometimes can help us to clean off the left over carbon in the engine.

I'm now at the service centre. Within 3.5 years, Honda changed 2 batteries for me. The first battery was under warranty, so it's FOC. However, the second battery I am being charged now.
Car bought on 2006
2008, January - changed 1st battery
2009 December - chang-ING 2nd battery

I remembered last time, my Wira's battery can last few years! Is it true that City's battery becomes weak very soon? Please enlighten...

I was facing difficulty to start sometimes...

In 3.5 years changed 2 batteries already? Your battery dead is because of overdrawn in current from your car? If need battery replacement also don't get from them,theirs are expensive.

Er really? I thought mine is slow

I'm thinking of adding the Powerbooster and Miniturbo. Based on reviews by others, this should further increase pickup and quite cheap compared to other mods.

I second that. Plus, don't get the maintenance free battery but get the water type instead. I have a neighbour who's a foreman and a machanic friend that both say water / acid? type is better. Recently bought a heavy duty battery cost me about 200+ i think. So far very good, even if i leave car for some days can start with ease.

I just bought a new Honda City. Mileage around 200km

I will be going to a outstation journey, is it advisable to go 120kmh during the first 1000km?

Also the salesman told me the first service (1000km) no need to change engine oil... is this so??

Thanks!

better dun...wait till the mileage over 1k and take for service

hmm...yesterday my city's driver power window got lil bit problem
i wind down the power window, and then i wanna wind up to close the window

the power window go up halfway and then go down straight away...
after 5mins tries, it become normal back...now im kinda scare to test again= = anybody encounter this problem?

Aaargh! You mean, those battery by Honda is not the water/acid type? No wonder! It costs me 170 for the short life span battery . Sigh....

*now can feel the starter is more "energetic".

er skyer, I have no idea if Honda SC installed a maintenance free battery or not. It's just an advice if you're looking for one.

@neato4u,your car is fitted with power booster and mini turbo?

@skyer,the battery from Honda should be either acid or maintenance free type. You can get one of these models from the spare part shops.

@fun_feng,it is not advisable to rev. that high speed for the first 1k km. Do it only after 1k service.

raymond5105 - @neato4u,your car is fitted with power booster and mini turbo?

Raymond, unfortunately not yet! My steering issue ('bite') is coming back and I've re-tighten the screw as I can't stand the 'kluk-kluk' noise coming from the rack anymore.

Got a cheap quote from a guy who sells recond steering rack (cost less than 1k) but my wife is a bit worried about using recond stuffs. Right now looking for new but cheap part to replace the steering rack.

Anyone knows where? SC quoted me near to 4k which is ridiculous

My h.city tires due for a change already.

totally noob in this area lah. looking for a comfort, but at least got decent grip. what brand/model should i go for? is Continental ComfortContact okay?

neato4u.. u using 7 speed mode eh? mine also can rev over 3k if using 7 speed mode..why dont use S mode + 7 speed mode.. i mean use 7 speed mode to rev until 5.7k rpm and hit the manual to get out 7 speed mode to S mode.. with your CVT, the rpm shud stay still at 5.6k rpm? read it at some forum, but not going to try with expensive CVT gb ;p

i jst noticed when in D mode, when i floor it fast @2k rpm, it will rev to 3k rpm, and floor again, then it only hit 4k rpm+. i guess tat is normal,no? ;p

i wonder why my bro vtec running 2k rpm and floor it, and it rev to 4.5k rpm vtec is designed like that? hahas

raymond.. i thought rev more will build more carbon inside the engine?

If there is any member here using minturbo or power booster,please share out your experience with them.

I just went to service my air-cond yesterday,changed the pulley and clutch. I feel my car goes smoother and no jerking.

Recon steering rack? Do you give you any warranty?
