QUOTE(ZeroSP @ Jan 11 2009, 11:35 PM) Ermm.. My current city is using Pilot Preceda 195/50, about rm 260. Trust me, the grip is damn good... My bro's GTI using that also. As for RS brake pads... Ha, you can get many review out there I think, one time there is one Gen 2 trying to follow me, and then suddenly there is one big lubang, so I gently hit brake to slow down and avoid, but that Gen 2 need to jam brake and then still hit into that lubang.. Lolz... And if you interested, I can help you to get for lower price when your stock pads wears off... RS stands for Rapid Stop if you want to know and comes with 3 grades, Standard, Performance, and Ultra. I using the Performance one where the working temperature is up to 550 degree celsius and it is mainly for street and track racing. Can let you test my city if you want.. Ya Andy, will probably use the stock 1 until it wears off... It's a waste... I see. I guess for our City, it'll prolly set us back bout 300+. will see how much it cost at h20, maybe will go down one of these days. Yep, I agree to keep the stock one till it wears out. quite expensive to change brake pads. How much will these brakepads cost anyway, say for the Performance type, can always put a set on the Civic at home? My only concern is whether its compound will damage my brake rotors (if the brake compound is too hard etc).

Ha.. Asbestos free yet hard enough, but don't worry... My City rotors still fine after a year. The only downside is, when you first install the pads, you will need 1 week or 1 tank of fuel traveling to run in the pads properly, and during this period, not advisable to do jam brake or else the pads may not give the best performance after that. As I say, can always have a test on my City brake if you wish to feel it. And it caters for many type of cars... On Civic is a good idea, for city, it is RM 140 per set.... It varies with different cars for the price... Will not exceed RM200 as what I told last time unless you changing all 4. And to Andy, yes accord is available... But RS is a sole manufacture and do not have its own website, but I have a link for you to look at RapidStopBlur colour is performance, pink is Standard, while Orange is Ultra... Try google it and you shall find many positive feedback from user, even compare to those so call "branded" This post has been edited by ZeroSP: Jan 12 2009, 12:08 AM

guys....i was testing the paddle shift on my baby just now and oh my goodness, it's very good indeed!!! u can hear the engine roar while u manipulate the gears. pick up is very good indeed. there is no lag and it's very responsive. so for those who are still considering either S spec or E spec, think no more!! go for the E spec!!

does anyone know the fuel requirement for this new city? octane levels our "BOLEH" land government is going to replace current RON 92 with RON95 while price of RON97 will be increased. (it is so called, helping us to save our pocket money for those car doesnt need RON97, dunno wat is the story behind la)

Well, I'm not sure what they rate the new City's octane level. But then even with RON92, it will run np. If anything, the ECU will adjust accordingly the mixture. To me, if I'm not going to suffer any loss of power due to RON95, I'm going to use it. Every dollar save is helpful to me (can use to pay back the monthly installment..hehe)

Run in.. normally is 500, but for Honda, people always says 1000 or higher. During run in, advisable not to rev over 2.5k, speed is ok as long as you don't rev like 6.5k to get it.

You know, there's a bunch of Mugen Honda performance parts out there already available for the Fit (Jazz). Some shop here probably imports those stuff right? Insist on Original Honda Performance products if your budget allows it! And since the new City shares the same platform with the Jazz. It probably will be interchangable? The part numbers are all there. I'll even include the link for you guys  Oil filter / Oil Filter Cap https://online.mugen-power.com/b2c/b2c0103....ID=0999&BUNS=08Rims / Wheel Nut / Intelligent Tire Pressure Monitoring System / Brake Pads / Brake Rotors / Sports Suspension https://online.mugen-power.com/b2c/b2c0103....ID=0999&BUNS=11Air Filter / Muffler https://online.mugen-power.com/b2c/b2c0103....ID=0999&BUNS=06HID Fog Lights https://online.mugen-power.com/b2c/b2c0103....ID=0999&BUNS=01Authorized Mugen Parts Dealer in Singapore, if it's not obtainable in Malaysia Kingcrimson Marketing Pte Ltd Authorised dealer for Mugen Blk 261 Waterloo St #01-16 Waterloo Centre Singapore 180261 Telephone : 6299 1269 This post has been edited by zweimmk: Jan 12 2009, 08:34 AM

Good morning. It's another start of the week. Seems there are some new honda city are on the road huh. I still need to wait till mid of march =.='' well, I was thinking, how actually to use the paddle shift when we are driving at the way of genting highland. For normally auto, we pull down to D3 and sometimes D2 if really need to go hard, then what about paddle shift? D mode gear or S mode gear? In which way is more recommend to use or suitable and sufficient, let's say for this 1.5 honda city thanks 1st for you guys answer This post has been edited by hush_puppies: Jan 12 2009, 08:23 AM

The car is compatible with RON92 fuel which should allow to save on fuel bills a little.

I suggest you stick to (S) mode 'cos in that mode, the gear will not shift unlike in (D) mode, unless you just want to drop a gear from 5 to 4 to overtake a car
