start from 600 for disc n caliper from r32 to 1+k for brand new endless...

i see.. i might install mugen kit too maybe after 1st service(check-up).... tinting i tinted my with vkool elite done by the dealer... still cant get used to the DBW throttle response...

same same i also tinted vkool70 only. many ppl ask me why i din tint my car bcoz the color is too light. but who cares, the quality and the price is there to beat them down. hahaha

Hey guys, just for a quick assurance from you guys on civic2.0 quality. I have gathered some complains over few forums that, the most common complained issues on the car is:
1) Minor rattling (depends on which part), especially to car after 2 years old.
2) Poor NVH
3) Bumpy for the rear passenger especially on long drive

I am comparing the car to Altis at the moment and I hope you all can help me. Thanks.

Be honest to u bro, Honda is never famous for its NVH when you comparing to Toyota.
But my friend who owned a Lancer GT made a remark that the Lancer has poorer NVH than Civic FD2.
Of coz, the rear ride comfort is not as good as the Altis, but i would say its pretty standard ride quality for today's modern car which has low profile tires with bigger rims and has a more edge towards handling for the Civic.

I do not know what is the level of your taste/tolerance towards NVH and ride comfort, but to me the Civic is oredi way too comfort for my taste.

As for the minor rattling sound, sometimes its luck, heck, even my friend's Lancer GT, Alfa Romeo 147 and VW Golf GTi has some sound here and there.

vkool is good.. it has good heat rejection compared to others...

dont forget low profile tyres also = more road noise and can feel the bumps... but i feel my mum's honda jazz 2007 vtec is much bumpier...

nah, fd2 is very comfy edi, u try the Jazz rolling on 205/40/17 and lowered with eibach springs and u will know what is bumpy.

I going to get my car now...

ya fd2 facelifted very comfy too. i was driving vios before and the noise from outside is so loud. but fd2 is really quiet except for the bumps bcoz civic is the sport sedan. the better the absorber or suspension the more bumpier it is. isnt it?

How bumpy is bumpy? Compared to vios, FD2 is bumpier!?

yes when u r driving thru the yellow lines b4 the road-bumps

congrats bro

fd1/fd2 back passenger can only be bumpy when full load , to me lah

if ngam2 1+3 passengers+ light loads, really comfort

but 5 peoples+huge luggages = bumpy

lol... siao ar... stock one also bumpy enough lor... the stock suspension quite stiff alredy... backside pain...

So my car has been not alive for almost 2weeks, and has been towed to Honda SC ;__;
They have came down to ECU problem as they cannot further debug the sensors as the ECU is not giving error code even with their scantools.
Unfortunately the do not have OBD1 ecu lying around so i need to scout one by myself.
My ECU is P27-T01. Must I find the exact same ECU model, or any manual D16 mt ecu might do the job?

Nope, that was my jazz back then.

Haha... Still ok la... I used to stiff suspension

handling better at conner. can take higher speed

about fd2. the cabin noise is so so quite to me..i even over rev at 2nd gear cos nv notice the needle ady passed 7k rpm(facelift model test drive)

well guys, i need to ask, how much does a honda civic ecu generally costs, lol

im comparing apples with oranges. i just bought a keihin quad carb side draft original carburetor for my honda s600. lol, rm2100 plus shipping from ebay. damn pokai now, but its the only way to see my car rev to 11,000 rpm!
