You are right bro...easily >rm800 setup... actually I have another set of Pivot installed at another car (Myvi) that included e-drive & e-nenpi (http://pivotjp.com/product/flame-e-drive_top-e.html) which price to pay equivalent to this 3-drive thingy.... & the way I look at it, I really no idea how to DIY to do connection & have to leave to expert installer to do the job. I still blur how this 3-drive helped to save fuel, probably it is just similar to e-drive? I don't know..haha. Can you enlighten me?

Hi, I am new to this forum... Btw, i booked PMM[E] on 25th Dec..Anyone have idea when is the estimated month that i will get my car?? Booked at Old Klang Road..

I booked on 22-Dec-09 can get on Feb. I think you prob can get Feb also. Honda is mass producing it, 1.5k per month. Get ready your downpayment and welcome your Honda back home.

Guys, done our PPS treatment. Check out the pics.

Before @ 9am:


After @ 7pm:


No difference? Because it's a new car!

Surface is smooth and waxy after PPS. The shinny effect is there, and hoping it will last.

You may PM me if you are interested for the group rate.

PPS ? Where is it? any diff if i do this once i got the new car and after 6 months ?
if no diff... i rather do it after half a year

It's for protection on your paint, the longer you wait, the more damage on the paint is done. Not to mention on those hard to clean tar. It makes your car easier to clean.

Makes me think of why we wrap the books in primary/secondary school when we first bought it, and not 6months later.

Excellent! How long it will last for this waxy smooth feeling on car?

Read from reviews from other users that it could last for yrs.

They give 3yrs warranty on the protection. With cleaning once every 6-12months back in the workshop, it could last at least 3yrs.

Sounds really nice.

okay... how much does it cost? can pm me and address plz.....

heard my friend said few years later the layer will tear off and look terrible... not sure how true is it...

Hmm... Maybe your friend's without proper maintenance

I've read about the eco-pedal system by Nissan on Paul Tan's blog and I think the e-drive system has the same principle. The e-nenpi system is a MID. Your Honda comes with MID but the output is not as detailed as e-nenpi.

The link I provided does the installation for you. It only works with DBW engines. That means the new Honda City qualifies, all Toyota cars have no problems either.

From the explanation given and my understanding, it controls the throttle valve when you press the accelerator.

In normal mode - it works with the default manufacturer's programming
In eco mode - it ensures that no matter how hard you press the pedal, it will control your acceleration by limiting how much the valve opens hence saving precious fuel
In sports mode - it works in the opposite manner and speeds up your acceleration at the expense of fuel consumption. I assume this also gives you better torque in a faster period of time.

The throttle response controller modifies throttle response behavior based on the mode you select, so improvements are via electronics and software programming. In actuality, there's no HP increase at all

Finally tomorrow or friday can get my car.

Unfortunately, PPS still does not protect your car from stone chips that will still scratch your car. Also I'm curious, does it make your car immune to swirl marks? I don't think so right?

Not only that, if bird drops on your car, you've to clean immediately. Otherwise, it'll be the same too.

hmmm.... seems no different with PPS..

This is what I heard when I used to work in Sunway and sent my client's car for teflon.

I know this is a late reply, and I had a brief test drive - the car is tuned for comfort, and rides well. But I felt the engine note was a bit too loud when pressed down, its very vocal indeed! Plenty of cheap hard plastics, but decently put together. Noted that the sound quality from the sound system was very good. Although it had 120hp, it certaintly did not feel like it la, I guess tuned more for economy than acceleration. The 1.8 Civic is more refined and gives a better drive, although that's a different class all together. Lots of rear legroom tho! Cheers

I think you still need to polish your car first before applying PPS. But it definitely works much much better than wax, which needs to be reapplied every month or 2. You can definitely clean off dirt easier and but it does not protect your car from stone chips or normal wear and tear derived from car wash etc. Hence, even with PPS - it still wouldn't prevent swirl marks from appearing.

Not sure about the bird droppings issue, I would reckon PTFE to be highly resistant against it as compared to wax. Just not resistant to normal wear and tear
