Use good ATF that is... Like ATF Z1 Ultra, or even better equivalent...
RON95 doesn't really affect our FD2 performance, if so it is too negligible.
Top speed I've gotten, stock FD2 Pre-FL rims, 224... But then, it is difficult to push once around 180-190...
does u mean that the flushing is not so required as long as we change the atf oil evy 20k KM? ATF Z1 ultra cost how much and how long it can last? i'm planning to use the ENEOS ATF oil for next change. or better stick back to Honda genuine ATF oil?
I mentioned the below remark on power steering..Atlast HM already acknowledged the problem and started recalling..Those wth power steering problem Aeroplane humming sound & leaking better take the opportunity...Good for them even recalling those after warranty period
Trust me it is! If continue making this aeroplane sound and not only on certain surface...confirmed liao.. To check, the mechanic will jack-up your car and feel the vibration when the manually turn the wheel.. If vibration can be feel, confirm whell bearing kaput dy. Civic 8th gen suffered from wheel bearing problems on the rd yr of ownership. This is very common and lotsa workshops knew it wth so many Civic Gen 8th came in & complained...
BTW, for 8th Gen civic, esp wth Hydraulic power steering (1.8)...better change the power steering fluid every 50K km bcos that also another fast kaput parts..I got qouted >RM3K to replace my whole system!! I din changed the fluid since day one till kaput on the 4th yr!! ...The hose itself cost me RM1300 to replace last year & I have not change the pump yet!!
p/s: BTW, power steering kaput symptom also having the almost similar humming sound!! ...Replacing to 100% leak free fluid help in reducing the humming sopund & also the leak. I sold off the car b4 getting the power steering replaced..phewww..lucky..
Hey friends, I am looking for some expert to respray/paint the body kit (mainly the front kit and spoiler) of my honda civic FL, is there anyone of you know any expert?

Just checked with HM, my car kena!! lolz....dono is good or bad news for me. Last done major service checked, still ok no problem for my power steering pump and hose.
You are lucky. Yours probably the 2008 model & milleage probably yet to tocuh 100K km & therefore you dun experience power steering leakages..Once you touch ~110K km.aha..the leaking starts..and this is real otherwise, they will not simply recall.'
The problem is those already paid to replace both the hose (~RM1300) & the pump assemblies ~ RM3300 gonna cry bcos they not going to refund!
They will only re-replacing the already installed new hose!!
1st 10-20K km the pick-up might be under power but thereafter the pick-up is ghood but 1.8 having abit of sluggish performance at ~ 70-90km/hr and thus..certain ppl might not like it.

FC is surprisingly almost similar to 2.0.
how's the FC? on highway drive?

anyone experience the sound krok krok krok when turning your steering like 75% to 85% during parking or u-turn? what might be the problem? went to agent and told me that it's the suspension problem as previously i had changed by suspension but no oem type. does it matter? anyone can clarify? Thanks

FD1 or FD2? If FD1 do check on the power steering system which is recently recalled. Normally if hydraulic power steering, the sound is more like aeroplane humming noise...
