my car gonna reach 100k mileage soon..so i want to know which parts should i change for the major service? fyi..i do not service my car at honda sc anymore..

Been considering on honda civic. Any advice or things to look into before buying?

thanks MAvik for sharing !

im going to get my FD1 next two weeks, any sifu here to recommend where to install the Mugen bk? must appreciate for good workmanship and reasonable price,tq

D honda!

guys my car got 'vsa off' warning on my panel.wtf happen???  

@stupidbump: for the window problem you have, gregy is 100% spot on. i sent it to my service center and told them about the problem. they resolved it with some silicone spray as well.

hope that helps.

Pls don't confuse WD40 with silicone lubricant. The former is an oil-based rust remover which is bad for the type of rubber used in window linings:

WD40 is primarily used to displace water hence its name "Water Displacement 40th attempt" and is not meant to be a lube of any kind. Silicone lubricant OTOH is meant to be used on rubber. One application will last a long time, apart from keeping the rubber linings soft.

Dear sifus here, Im the new owner for civic FD1. Just collect car last 2 days.

Pump full tank about RM88, after 2 days travelling, first half tank now go for about nearly 400km (70% highway, 30% city driving), is this normal??
For FD1, the fuel tank above is bigger or below is bigger?

Beside, as for new car owner, any advises from all sifu what to do or what not to do??

Thx very very much..   

install pedal lock haha

p.s of course theres alot of security system out there but some dont like to go for aftermarket alarm system cause afraid will void warranty

Aaaarrghhh.

o, haha didnt know any after market alarm for civic which will not involve cutting of wires

about leg hitting, so far none complain, civic especially, big space left

hmm, dangerous when accident happen? Mind sharing wat u meant?

i thought take longer time to unlock would be a good point? harder for theif to unlock, isnt it good ? haha

just got one of our forumer civic install with the pedal lock

and for the fist time i reli took the effort to look at it, and i personally feel that theres still plenty of room for our leg

and for accident thingy, i mean, when ppl fix security tint, they too know tat wat if one day u were lock in ur carnot being able to open any door, ( tats wat someone told me ) how would u break ur glass..

so i feel chance of u hitting it is ...........

Uh,bad news for me. Have it in both my Hilux and Civic

Hello everyone,

Anyone know where can i buy silicone wiper for current civic model?\

I asked around those wiper seller and they are not confident the model they are selling can fit to the current Civic model.

I got quote for PIAA one but RM500

Mine is 2nd facelift of 06,07 model. this model: http://paultan.org/2007/04/17/honda-malays...onda-civic-20s/

Isn't the latest Civic in Malaysia is the same with 06,07 just will minor facelift?

i see... then mine is 08 batch.
After some research, I think PIAA VERA suitable for Civic 08 onwards.

Other than PIAA, any other choice?

Sound proofing, but not exactly economical depending on material. Whole car I think need to spend 1K min and more than 2K if done extensively.
But one thing you cannot soundproof is the front and back windscreens lah, so no matter what there will be sound from there especially if raining.

Another is to change tyres, but the effect is depending on what tyre models. My recent change from PP2 to PS3 makes a big big difference in terms of noise level. PP2 is really noisy lah.

Most economical way is to.... turn your music volume really really loud. Guarantee cannot hear other noise 

Does anyone have a Civic FD Hybrid in here? My friend's hybrid has a K.O'ed battery after only 1.5 years of use (although he's covered damn near 50,000km in that time).

Anyone else facing this problem? Thankfully, still under warranty, so Honda Malaysia has agreed to replace the battery. Otherwise, it'd burn a RM10k hole in his pocket.

My friend's Civic Hybrid is completely stock. Warranty of the battery follows the warranty of the car, so 3 years.

We asked about the cause of the problem (as we wanted to know how to avoid this problem in the future) but the Honda SC we went to was not able to give any reason/root-cause for the issue. There's another 1.5 years left to the warranty so let's hope the battery either:
1. Keeps strong
2. Dies off after 1.4 years
