My friend owns 1... claims that it's under-powered...

just miss out 1 time then the magnetic coil "Down"........ aiks......
cost me RM210 to replace the coil.....

but some how now my car's engine bay sound become rougher..... wondering is my misconception.....
and also when i turn the key , the VSA indicator seems like showing few second more(around 5 sec only it off) whereby previously it will OFF immediately after i turn the key.... is this normal.? kindly advice ya. thanks.

hear the old honda roar

Yea KeV... when your legend will come alive?

Maybe the VSA sensor get dirty. Tell this to sc and let them clean it.

any charges? coz my car exceed warranty alr.... if i ignore it. what is the impact/consequence... ??

Many part going to spoil after warranty. What are you gong to do? Are you not willing to pay after warranty?

Once no VSA before driving, you will encounter rough gear shift to D and some jerking when accelerate if I remember. Nothing worry about if without VSA. It just and extra feature for the car

agree with the bold statement..... i do experience it...... damn... especially when the nowadays car exceed 100k.... all the parts start to spoil 1 by 1....
not same as yr 90 generation car's quality like my '94 SEG.. also bought 2nd. but doesn't give much problem as my 2nd bought FD1....

start my car. engine running. pop up my hood. can hear tak tak tak tak tak tak sound. what sound is that? is it valve knocking ka? or? btw im running on year '97 ek4

perhaps disc warped.
yes bearing should be constant noise.

and i lol at the hybrids with type-r rims and bodykit

just follow the manual no matter what.
keep stock standard.
you'll be able to claim warranty for almost everything except if the SC fussy.
my mom even claim warranty for battery.....twice (every 2 years under their <40,000km clause)
mine warranty void for many parts oredi i think

Bro, what do you mean by disc warped?

How long haven't you replace the brake pad?

Any vibrate during braking?

Just sent my car to check.
The sound was because of the brake pads. Had them replaced.

BTW, anyone know the price for Honda OEM shock absorber for front and rear?
I was told my rear absorber is leaking oil.

still use standard?
time for adjustables

Problem is the civic is driven by my wife bro....she don't want performance, want economy...
standard absorbers normally cost how much for front and for rear per side?

HI all bro, just wan to know whether the FD1 aircond filter can self clean for how many times? before need to change to new filter...
kindly advice...

my boot lock kena open by someone...

how much to replace o...

sad lor... T.T

iinm roughly Rm800-1.2k for both side , depend on which civic model

standard from honda will probably be 800-1000 for the front. then 600-800 for the rear.
can buy aftermarket adjustables already.

never tried.
get the one from japan better quality and the stinky outside don't penetrate in easily.

about 120.00 to replace lock one lock with labour charges.
usually the service supervisor will advise you to change all the locks so u don't need to carry many keys.

just sharing my experience in the line , those lock werent stolen for a reason, first they will steal ur rear lock to duplicate ur key, second they will use it to drive off ur car, so dont take this lightly, u have two choice, change the whole set include the ignition, or get urself installed with a pedal lock or some other added security ( forget about baseball lock )
