change the alarm? Mean whenever i want to lock and unlock the car, not using the original honda key. But using the additional new unlock lock device like our old car nowadays la? Cannot integrated into new honda key buttons?

We are going to install the autolock soon, cost around RM130. It will not void warranty but to add a small device to handle the autolock. One of our owner installed it at the same workshop and working well.

As for the alarm, one of our fellow owner has move the alarm from the boot to the bumper area. The alarm sounded much louder. He has checked with his SA that it would not void the alarm warranty as well.

how much will the installation of brake lock be? and where can we do it?
*
I'd reckon to get a portable lock. Though useless, but it's just for show, better than nothing. My SA said installing a brake pedal lock may void brake warranty if you could not press the brake pedal fully to activate it.

IMO it's not worth it to change to a wider tyre in order to trade below for a more 'stable" feel:
1. Price is really not cheap for new one, low trade in value - I think around Rm150 for the stock tyre
2. Will get bad FC & less pick up power

And attention to all NHC Owners... please take note that the areas that I circle in red are the very high risk area to get scratch easily! I already got some scratches on the passenger side sad.gif sad.gif

I'm going to do my interior coating sometime on Fri:

Interior upholstery Cleaning & Vinyl / Leather / Fabric Seats Protectant Application Service
The Tasks :-
Vacuuming of vehicle's interior ;
Cleaning of seats and carpets with our Gun-It Deodorizing Stain Remover or good quality cleaning chemicals ;
Cleaning of dash board, door panels and edges, windscreen and windows
Application of our Leather / Vinyl / fabric protectant to Leather / Vinyl / fabric seats, door panels and dashboard.
Final inspection of vehicle's interior before handing over of vehicle to customer.

Hopefully it will protect my interior better and keep it clean and shinny always.

First tank once i collected my car i pumped 40L.
Low Fuel warning was just on just now, i pumped my 2nd tank at 33.17L, RM59.71, trip was 447KM
erm.... not so satisfy with the FC. Hope it will getting better.

it ard 13.48KM per Liter or RM0.134 per KM
*
I'm clocking at 3.5k milleage here. The FC for NHC is no good so far. Maybe that is the price for a nicer body and better power. Could only do 11-12km/L in avg with city drive, roughly 350-400km/tank. Standard driving style. If there is more highway, sure the FC would be better.

It could not be compared with Vios or older gen of City. Just enjoy your new ride.

Hey. If you're interested in getting the Modulo kit, there are a couple of HC3's (me included) thinking of doing a Group Purchase.
The price is going to be approximately RM1800 (we are trying to get a group discount too). The material is also ABS, which is supposedly
the original material in the Original Modulo kit. It also has the Modulo badge and if I'm not mistaken the rubber lining.

There isn't a distinctive difference. Most likely it'll look as good as the original one. A fellow HC3er (ccpau) put on an 'aftermarket'
Modulo kit and it looks just like the original, except it's cheaper smile.gif Let us know anyway, we are planning on early-April

How if I just want the spoiler? ^^

If get E spec... yes... pick up might lost there cause our car is heavy... but if both drive 100km/h... u try press your gas... u will feel 2 diffrent engine in your city... which when ur vtec is open... so easy n nice to overtake cars d. Once u use to it... u will love it... before i also feel underpower... but now.. i love to drive my car and also after i borrow my car to my GF drive for few days... she also falling in love to drive it... hehe
*
It's true that pickup is not as good as expected. It's a bigger/heavier car though the engine is more powerful.

You can't control when vtec opens? My SA told me that when you rev above 3k on NHC, VTEC opens. Anyone felt that before?

Hi all HC3 team mates. Today I received an email from Public Bank which offer Garmin Nuvi 205 Black for RM699 only. I'm not sure is it the exact same model which you guys planning to get 205W. Here is the link => http://www.pbbemall.com/mall/home.jsp <= So you guys can check it out.  biggrin.gif

P/s: I repaste it here in case someone missed it at HC3's official threat.  biggrin.gif

G205 is just around RM640 now in forums. G205w is newer and it's arnd RM850 in the forums.

Hey guys/girls, informative thread. Just wondering what rpm does the car clock while cruising at 110km/h?

Thanks in advance...

Sandblasting is an added security feature...

This means that if your car is stolen and the thieves change your number plate, your original number will still show on the sandblasted glass....

Do bear in mind that its permanent and cannot be removed.... Are you planning to keep your number plate?? For some, if you've got VIP plates, eg: WXX 8888, etc etc... You might want to bear in mind that when you transfer your number plate to the new vehicle, your sandblasted glass on the old vehicle will bear the imprint of your VIP plate permanently..
*
Initially I asked my SA to do the sandblasting but on second thought, it doesn't really helps, and it looks uncool on a dark color car. I also worried that if it's not done right, it may hurt the glass, City's glass is treated.

So I decided to pass.

guyz, do u rev >3k rpm before 1k service? Coz now i keep the rpm below 3k and mostly 1-2k rpm only, feel so powerless compared to my mom's city idsi. My FC after 200km mileage is around 12km/l, i can get 13km/l if travel to putrajaya, 12km/l is traveling around the town, with alot of traffic lights and road bumps  vmad.gif

I've rev more than 3k before the 1k service. No need to be too gentle. It's built to be driven, as long you don't overdo it. Enjoy your ride.

received my car yesterday wsk 7xxx. pmm colour. rclxm9.gif
it's a nice car. seriously

overall im pretty pleased with the car.

pump in 22l petrol to full and done 110km so far and the fuel gauge still nearly full! wah very2 save.

Love the audio. nice sound and so many function to learn. i love learning something new tongue.gif

response from the throttle is way2 better than my previous gen2 auto. very light foot also can easily reach 100-110km/h.

opening/closing door feel very soft. need so little effort to do it. my last gen2 need to slam hard to close  smile.gif
few concerned
handling of the car quite difficult on uneven road. need to correct the steering quite often.  do you guys feel the same like this? definately will highlight this during 1k service.

alarm -- - never heard my alarm so far. no sound during lock and unlock...

overall
money spent well. if you considering nhc with proton car. just close your eyes and booked nhc.
*
Congrats on your new car.

Can't compare Gen2 and City ^^

The alarm and lock/unlock buzzer issue you have is common among all.
