Well said & explanation bro  rclxms.gif Not sure what kind of speakers & HU that come with City, but so far it's good enough for me.

I'm a user of Mega Raizin, Pivot Spark Earth and formerly Pivot Blue + grounding wires. So I'm rather familiar with these products hehe.

Pivot Spark Earth really does increase your car torque a little and you can feel the improved throttle response.

As for Mega Raizin and Pivot Blue, these are the changes that I've noticed.

- Major increae in car battery life expectancy. In my previous ride, my car battery lasted 3 years before I had to change
- The car interior lights are slightly brighter, this wasn't immediately noticible
- Slightly improved audio quality and loudness, this was immediately noticible but the effect is very minimal.

Contrary to sales talk - both Mega Raizin and Pivot Blue does not improve throttle response, it does not improve braking response, it does not increase a car's HP and it does not improve fuel efficiency of your car. If there was an improvement, it's quite negligble and I've not experienced it.

Never used Pivot Black, so no idea how well it works cool.gif

Well..list of features:

1. Locks when you press your brake pedal..
2. Unlocks when you switch off ignition
3. Button: Up = Lock, Down = Unlock
4. If you unlock but doors are never opened, pressing brake will not re-lock until doors are opened

Mega Raizin is fixed onto your car battery - think of it as a power storage device that also helps regulate power in your car.
The biggest benefit it brings is extending the life of your car battery, the bonus is that it makes your audio sound a little better but the effect is very minimal.
Raizin black is for sound, this coupled with Mega Raizin will boost audio quality and oompf to a higher level but imo, if you're using stock audio speakers and HU - the result won't reflect the full potential of the product.

Well explained. Thanks a lot zweimmk notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

By the way what is your name bro? Every time call you with your user name like a bit weird tongue.gif

Install this:

No, not throttle controller, the item below that - I'm seriously contemplating installing it, hehe.

This one looks cool! Wow didn't know that there are so much more to learn about cars especially on accessories sweat.gif

I bet I'll spend all my money on CITY in the future!

My advise is - unless you have very deep pockets or is an enthusiast. Avoid modding your car! It's a deep sinkhole that's takes a lot of willpower to get out of laugh.gif

Hmmm.... 1 question, if we adding voltage stabilizer(s) or grouding wires (i.e. spark earth, ignition earth etc) will void engine warranty or not for Honda cars? Should be no problem right...? blink.gif

You have to check with Honda - but AFAIK, if it's just an add-on and you're not changing the engine in any way (modify ECU, extractor) etc. then there's no warranty issue.

Yup...it will play some ding-dong sound to you if u on the head light after off engine.... but beware of front reading lights, my experience is on it for 10 minutes it is still on... think it will drain out the battery for overnight if forgotten switch off the indoor lighting?
