Yep, you're right.. The solar film's on the front & rear, and the security film is on the 4 windows.

Personally I'd opt for peace of mind and go for the security tint!  thumbup.gif

On the "custom-cut" car mat, look here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/907496...

Tai kor sysh is organising a group purchase for the car mat, so I think they should be able to get a good price.!!

cysmark, you can try this... http://www.jpj.gov.my/malay/plateno.htm

I'm not familiar with Rikecool, so can't help you on that...
Bro, I have the custom cut car mat in my ride.! The cutting will be done by the shop... smile.gif Highly recommended as it traps sand and dirt very well.!!

I suggest if you wana enjoy the group purchase discount, maybe you can put a deposit with the shop, then when your ride arrives, just go collect it and pay up the balance.!
We've not formalised the details of our next TT as yet, but should be somewhere in Damansara/PJ area. smile.gif Probably in the next week or two!! Check our HC3 thread at http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/907496... We'll put up the details there. Do join us.!!
The mat is not from 3M, but its similar and works just as well..

Sysh has compiled the price for the mats as follows:
w/o sewing : RM80 - RM100
with sewing: RM150

You can read more about it at the HC3 thread. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/907496...

Nope. He means that the alarm will now be coming from the back, near the boot area. Less insulation, hence louder.
The function will still be the same as before, no change from there..
*
but originally the arlam have no sound de rite?
its just the emergency light blinking oni rite?

Nope. Not at all. Even during the first TT, it was very easy-going.
Everybody was friendly and talkative. It's not as though our age gaps were wide apart.
I think once you attend one, you'll know what I mean.
How we met each other? Thru LYN, where else..

My discount from my SA? Ok la.. wou;d've preferred to get more..
The original alarm has sound, but quite soft..guess it was in the engine bay..embedded

lol.. kk.. maybe i shall experience it in the next TT session..
the ori alarm have sound? isit? mine no sound de wor just the light flashing oni ler..
everytime after TT session u all will find a place to take photo?

Yup, that was us indeed.!!
Myself and sysh will keep you posted on our next TT.!! Do also check out this thread periodically for updates..  http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/907496

Awkward?? Nah, not at all.. We're all Honda enthusiasts, so there's something in common there. Like sysh said, we're all mostly of the same age group as well, so no problems there.
Bro, please do join our next TT.!!!
Sysh, maybe we could check with GLS if they can source the strut bars for us and get a good price? I am still waiting for Willie to give us his price list.. Will call him to check in a day or two. smile.gif
The cost for soundproofing, depends on the material you use... If you're interested to do soundproofing, hang in there, a couple of us here are interested as well, we'll organise a group installation of soundproofing in time to come!

Me and sysh have already approached a shop, and they have agreed in principle to give us HC3 ppl special prices for various items. We've already asked for a list comprising the car mat, soundproofing, autolock, brake pedal lock, tinting, voltage stabilizers, etc etc, and they will be furnishing us a price list for the HC3 members in due course. Will keep the HC3 thread updated on this...
Yup, photo taking sessions take place during and after TT.!!

On PPS, there's a thread you can check out for more info. Visit http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=910070&hl=PPS

the GLS shop that u meantion where is it?
is it somewhere at jln 222?

I've used it on my dad's civic before. It's quite fun and sophisticated, you can shift up manually but when you breaks or slow down, it will down shift to the proper 1 for you, you know i used to be a manual driver for 7 years, it gives more sense what gear to use than paddle shift offered by HONDA so i always have hard time putting proper gear during a corner. But as a hybrid usage, manual up auto down. Not bad.. even thou i didn't bother using paddle shift most of the time.

I'm only using it more often in HIGHWAY, where i want to speed up a little but i dont want it to rev up and go 4th or even 3rd, i can do that without using paddle shift but i have to push my foot really little to sync with the rev so it doesn't trigger the underpower and downshift, but hey... 5 hours to JB can be exhausted on the foot even with cruise control if i'm going to press bit by bit everytime i wanna little speed. Put it on 5th gear in paddle shift.. press with the throttle as you relax your foot (without lifting) and you'll still be pumping little gas thanks to the drive by wire thinggy. And you won't wake the whole car up with the downshift rev noise and the little g force it produce.
*
but if we use the pedal shift thingy uncorrectly i think it will spoilt fast rite?
besides that i think if u use the pedal shift thingy the petrol consumption will be higher rite?
anyway does anyone here noe the proper way to use the pedal shift thingy?? rolleyes.gif
i dun think the NHC have cruise control rite?
btw wat is the use of the cruise control thingy?

1. Might be something wrong with your suspension/spring. On the NHC, like most torsion beam setups, the shock absorber and spring are separate. It could be a failure in either one of the components or both. Is it slanting very much? Have the SC check it out to confirm.

2. On a very hot day, it can feel like it's not cold enough. I think it's just our weather, not the air con system. At night, it's blardy cold even at the minimum. That's why it's worth while to invest a little bit more for good tints in this country. Not a good idea for cheapest item here.

3. I thought so too but as I drive it more (engine runs more) it becomes better with every kilometer. So, take your time to know your ride and her characteristics. It'll grow on you and get better with time. Kinda like good wine.  icon_rolleyes.gif

1. its slanting kinda alot ler thats why im worry cry.gif
2. but the fan/blower is very noisy (in the car) dont u think so? ya i agree.. at nite its kinda very cold sometimes i do not turn it on in the night time.
3. itit? the longer it is the car engine will be better/smoother/powerful? about how many km r u at now?

owh btw is it true that we should not drive too fast with new car as the engine is not stable yet? not more than 80km/hr?

when i sent my NHC for 1st check up (1k km service) i complaint about my car not enough pick up when start from idle, even lose to myvi when start head to head at trafic light for 500m. SC told me that normally Honda put oil slightly thick oil for new engine to protect engine part. and for free service, they using mineral oil. if we ewant to change to semi synthetic or fully synthetic, need to top up (around 20+ for semi).just sharing the info  rclxms.gif

wats the diff between those oils?

1. If this is the case, have the SC look at it immediately.
2. At 1, it's quite, 2 a little bit noisier, 3 onwards very noisy but it is expected I think. Even your home aircon blower unit is loud at medium setting!

New engine not stable and not more than 80km/h? Ha ha ha...this looks like something the Mythbusters need to disprove. You can drive at whatever speed you want, be it 80 or 120km/h. Like andy said, the key is balance. Just don't throttle it up all the way or crawl like a turtle all the way. A bit of both is fine and keep your RPMs reasonable and logical. For example, doing 120km/h on 3rd gear is just plain stupid. Get it? Your engine is a high precision piece of engineering. It can take a beating, trust me. It's not made of tofu, so no need to treat it like tofu.
*
1. ya need fast fast send to SC liao, do they have waranty or smth?
2. lol.. ok just to check out so as everyone out ther with NHC is in the same condition as me so im not worry. biggrin.gif

lol.. just to get a confirmation oni la.. of cux i noe our engine is not tofu dry.gif
haha doing 120km/h using gear 3 is waiting for their engine to BOOM
owh and is dere any diff or harm to engine when u use the pedal shift thingy in D mode & S mode i mean as in all ways?
i find the NHC in D mode when starting to accelarate from gear 1 to gear 2 it pull gear 1 kinda long so when i hear the sound or RMP thingy i uses my pedal shift thingy to push it to 2nd gear so it wont pull gear 1 for so long..
somwtimes i feel that the NHC does not automatically adjust the gear to the proper gear that it should be at that speed (especially when the car slows down)

My passenger's window got broken a bit .. (not breaking but got a small piece of glass teared out) It happened like this
Today drive to JPV, parked at the side. Got people cutting grass (using the hand machine type)
I didn't notice he is coming near. Suddenly i heard bi plak bi plak!
The grass machine guy cut the glass and came to near my car, ended the small stones and sand flying to my car..
Then i saw this small dot, try to wipe it (thought only dirts) but it's not.
I thought my SA sent my car for window security tint .. why my security tint is so weak? couldn't even protect my window??  mad.gif i suspected he didn't included the security tint installation ..

what should i do? complain to honda or the tinting company?

ya i think 1 thing that is important is how do we noe that we got the original tint that we bought from them..
if u ask them they will surely say it is real or some noncense to keep us from stop askin. mad.gif
