4. The gear changing seems a bit weird and not smooth.....

It is not weird, it's not normal at all. And FC is higher than i expected. Anyone who own a NHC, try this - after u drive through a hump, accelerate abit and maintain at the speed. 1st gear is normal but comes to 2nd gear, the rev will automatically drop. Try it urself.

Went through a few speed bumps earlier at night, but i don't have that problem?
Either that or I'm not doing it correctly..correct me if i'm wrong

1. Slow down at speed bump (auto shift to 1st gear)
2. Go over speed bump (still in 1st gear)
3. Accelerate after speed bump (switch to 2nd gear)
4. Maintain speed (stay at 2nd gear??)

I'll try again tomorrow..

Yes, after u accerate after speed bump which is 2nd gear, maintain 2nd gear at the same speed. My car rev will drop automatically.

ok.. test #2, when i drove to work a short while ago.
noticed the small 'drop' in the revs as you've noticed, but it wasn't very noticeable..perhaps 500rpm. maybe it's cos of the low speed, i'm not sure.
but since there isn't a noticeable 'jerk' due to that.. i'll live with that  blush.gif

Ya, this i can say abnormal. I've try alot auto cars but none of them are like this. I have to point this issue out when i go to 1st service, see what are the explanation they give me.

Hi guys, new member here and just saw this thread yesterday while searching on google about honda city.
I'm expecting to get my car E spec by end of this month. The SA offer me Modulo kit (third party and not from Honda) and Winguad tint (is the spelling right?) for RM 4400. Is it a good deal?
Any other recommendation for tint?

Thank you in advance,
Yel

What material of modulo kit your SA offering u?

if not mistaken, should got 3 kinds of material,
cheap = fiber
medium = PU
high = ABS

RM1900 should get the ABS one....
*
Modulo kit + paint for RM1900, i think is fiber.

We need change our driving method in order to get use to NHC, this will help you to get better FC. When the first time i drove NHC, the car control me and now i control the car coz i getting use to it already.

Hi, mind to elaborate on your theory?  rolleyes.gif

You will know the gear change when you go uphill or uneven road. This will effect the FC.

Think I've said this a few a few times.
A forumer is selling Modulo Kit (PP Material, supposedly better than ABS or FRP) for RM1,800. Inclusive of Paint and Installation (no drilling).
Anybody interested? Not trying to promote, but if there are interested parties.. then maybe we can get discount if we do bulk smile.gif

I was confuse that how do we differentiate abs, pp, pu and fiber material. We are not in this industry and it is very difficult for us to differentiate. What i heard from my friend is abs slightly better than pp (polypropylene).
