Agreed there about the lack of sound insulation. Will drive the car for a while and see how it goes. If I'm annoyed by the sound, I'll probably Autofoam it. Besides, Autofoam also firm up the chassis and reduce body roll.

Hey Cola, where did you book your City?
The finance co call me up to submit my doc for financing process, does tht mean tht i will get the car soon?? hahaha

Andy tai kor, my dad insists V-kool tinting... Is it a good choice still?

my mom's v-cool seems start to have bad symthom la.... so if you ask me... maybe i will ask you try other tint.

Andy will probably tell you NO! It's because his V-Kool is rusting and peeling.

If you can forgo that and want to give it a try, hope you are luckier than him. Also you need to put up with not being SmartTag, GPS friendly.

Hey guys.. it seem tht some of you guys alrd got your baby...

Once u get ur baby, remember to check the body,whether got scretches or any problems, once u drive out from showroom, if u found any scretches they wont resposible for it anymore..Remember that..

They use very little foam if any, if you've seen how they take apart car panels at autofoam - Both Vios and City (old) have hollow car chassis with very little sound insulation padding, in fact it's more like close to zero. They use those cheap soft sponge foam thing that people use for packing goods to stuff the side sills and B pillars and it's a miserable small piece as well. The CRV, being more expensive probably has more padding but I'm fairly sure they use those sponge things as well to stuff up the pillars and sills, it's probably a little denser and of bigger size though.

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

YES!!! Just got my car today. But my parents are picking it up on my behalf as I am slogging hard at work now... Sigh.

None.
And that small antenna, looks like an easy target for the petty AssHoles. Sa asked me to secure it with Elephant glue and it seems an original can cost about RM200.
Any other idea guys?

i wonder why they go backward? after all the city before this has 'printed antenna' on rear windscreen 

BNM OPR rate is down by 75 basis points, anyone know the latest interest rates?

Imagine if the rear windscreen with printed antenna broken... how much is the bill?
