For the tinting of your car, depends on the brand of your tint, whether you get the security film, etc etc. So the price range we're talking about can be quite big.

The placement of where the radio and aircond controllers, you'll get used to it after a while. When I first saw the car I didn't quite like it too. I've now driven my car for about a month now, and its perfectly fine!

The E-Specs does have the volume control button on the steering.

I guess having a regular TT hangout haunt makes it more convenient logistically. But I'm sure it will get boring after a while.. if the rest are agreeable, tt anywhere also not a problem for me.!

Did my autolock with with sysh, chris, max.....

For the autolock, it is activated by your brakes/autolock button.. Once all four doors is closed and you step on your brakes/press the autolock button, then the autolock will be activated..

I personally got a discount on the car, a tinting discount, a tank of petrol, plus a swapping of number plates service from my SA (I am changing my car number plate at a later date)...

I think others here also got freebies such as umbrella, etc etc.. Its up to your negotiation skills on what you wana bargain with your SA really.! Good luck.!

Sorry guys, I havent been keeping myself up to speed with the thread of late.. Work at the office's suddenly picked up in the last 2-3 days!!

Ohhhh shitt.!!!! Seriously, OUCH, OUCH AND OUCH... OUCH x 3,000,000 times man..

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed it can be rescued... I think you should try to go there ASAP..

If i were you i'll take taxi to work already... haha..

Don't worry, girls, boys, martians also invited - we're all under the Honda umbrella!! hehe..

If you can't make it this coming TT, come for our next TT.!! =)

Sysh, you can count me in for the next TT.!!

Wonderful news indeed.!! Phew thank goodness your car's alright now.!!

Just like my gf's sis' car.. Her car bang dog outside her house in the morning, the dog still can run away, but the car enter workshop 2 plus weeks...

Thought its a proton problem, apparently Honda also same prob...

Lol that was a funny clip...

Yo Iskandar!

Yeah, pls do join us on 6 feb for our TT session. Maybe then you can look at all the colours and decide better.

No worries, any car also welcome to join.!!

On the colour of your car, I won't persuade you, you can make up ur mind at our TT.!! Too many *coughAlabasterSilverMetalliccough* on the road lately..

Yo Joe! On mileage per tank, as mentioned many times before, a lot depends on driving habits and whether highway/city driving, and your driving speed as well.

For me, i am averaging 390km-420kms per tank, with about 50% city, 50% highway driving. Depends on how heavy footed and how much city driving. Got about 450kms per tank during the CNY period, when most roads were empty and I did a lot of highway driving.

There are non original boot trays out there at car accessory shops already...

I guess boot trays are all the same, as long as can protect from dirt/spillage should be good enough.

Bro, you live & work in Cyberjaya??

Why don't you come join us this time at Aman Suria, maybe our next UOTT (after the OTT on 13 March 2009 with Teamcity) can be in Puchong, as suggested by max (or was it ivtec2?) before. That should be nearer to Cyberjaya for you.!

Yup, my trunk tray is the non-Modulo one. It fits snugly into the boot area.. Mine was priced on the high side though, I got it for RM200.!

On the waiting time, happened to meet my SA yesterday, and was told E-spec prob have to wait to June or July.. about 3 + months lah that means...but depends on colour... S-spec about 1-2 months..

Sysh, if you do get any news/updates on the door visor, do let me know! Plan to get the original clip-on type as well.!!

Hey there.. What do you mean by to do list? As in, what needs to be done when you collect your car?

On things you may want to add... Here's a common list..

1) Floor mat - available at most acessory shops... Depends on what type you want to get..
2) PPS - Not sure if you've been following, but you can read up on the results of the PPS treatment on this thread and the HC3 thread... You can get it done at Bandar Sunway, there's a thread on LYN on PPS with all the details if you're interested.
3) Interior protection - Can be done at the same PPS place... Basically a treatment to protect the interior of your car, etc etc... Think it costs about RM150 or thereabouts..
4) Autolock - Some of us did it in a group for RM130 with an autolock button in USJ7. If you're interested I can PM you details of the place, and maybe try to bargain for a discount for you.
5) Security lock - Depends whether you wanna get steering lock or brake lock.. IMHO, think a brake lock would be more recommended.. You can PM sysh, they're doing a group buy for a discount soon.
6) Boot tray / Door visors - You may want to get a boot tray to protect your boot from dirt, spillage, etc. There are non-original modulo trunk trays out there at accessory shops. Much cheaper than the original..

Thats bout all I can think of for now.. maybe will edit my post and add more when I can think of more.

Oh ya.... 7) Join us for TT ASAP!! ahaha..

Yo bro, had the same problem initially. Sit in your car, lock your car with your keys and wait 15-30 secs, after that try moving around in the car... The alarm should go off.

It's cos the alarm takes time to activate...

Which region are you from? There are quite a number of earlier posts on discounts and freebies!

I think some here got pretty decent discounts + freebies... I suggest maybe you can PM those ppl for the details of their SA?

1) When collecting car - I guess the most important is to check for scratches, bumps or dents... Cos once you leave the show room and you notice any paint chips or scratches, you may encounter problems in claiming warranty. You won't be able to ascertain whether these defects was from before you collected your car or after you took it if you don't check before hand....

2) Floor mat - Mine is the coil mat, similar to the 3M type. I got it on the first day I collected my car itself... My SA brought me to the place and I got it done for RM130.. Its cut out to fit the shape of my NHC floor.

3) I did my PPS for approx RM550. That's the price with a 20% group discount, as organised by chris_x. However, if i remember reading correctly, there was a post saying that Raymond, the shopowner will no longer be offering the 20% discount from March onwards. If that is accurate, PPS will set you back by approx RM680.

My personal opinion on PPS? I think there's some misconceptions on PPS, as people expect the dirt to basically wash off with water and the water to bead/run off the car perfectly... So far for my ride, the water beading effect isn't as good as when it was first treated, however, the gloss is still there. I think the main objective of PPS is to avoid having to wax, so I guess as long as the paintwork's gloss is still nice and shiny I'll be satisfied. Whether you still want to do it - its your call... Maybe you can come join us for TT this Friday and see for yourself our rides and ask the rest in person.!!

4) Yes, treatment for the dashboard plastic, etc. I think it includes treatment for the fabric as well..

5) Yup, autolock when all 4 doors is closed and when you step on the brakes.!

6) On the security lock, I'm sure sysh will be glad to help you. He's trying to gather as many ppl as possible to get a better discount!

7) Yup, you can ask for free from your SA. However, I understand that there's not much stock for the trunk trays & door visors. Unless you want to get the non-modulo ones.. For the boot tray, you can definitely get it for cheaper outside.

On sidesteps, the original ones are illuminated, and will set you back about RM600. Again, you can install the non-original ones if you want to protect your sidestep paint. A guesstimate - those should be priced in the region of RM200++??

Er, for visors.. mostly to allow you to wind down your windows a bit without letting rain, etc get in i guess (Others please correct me if i am wrong!). And yes, I've heard that your interior may be a bit louder with visors, especially when travelling at speed.

8) Oh ya, forgot about the tint.! I can't comment about RikeCool, as I am not familiar with the brand. For myself I got Ecotint on my ride. So far I can say I am satisfied with it... My SA helped me get a price of RM1800 for my Ecotint Raybarrier (front & back windscreen) and 6mm hybrid security tint film for my 4 windows.


I don't think its cos we don't want to reply, I think we don't have an answer to it.!! haha...

The best place to find out would be at your service centre, but my gut feeling tells me "NO". Even if it can be done, I don't think cruise control is something you should do outside of a Honda SC in case it causes you other problems.

Hmm.. have you tried harrassing your SA??

Which branch did you book from??

Hmm... I don't think the SA should be angry with you.!! The golden rule all SAs should bear in mind is that the "Customer is ALWAYS RIGHT".!!!

Sysh, I can call GLS to see if I can drive the price down further. Will quote the price cppau's getting... Will let you know tomorrow. =)

Maybe I can get GLS to become our panel workshop for our HC3, if they can guarantee us the best prices in town. Let me know how many ppl you have gathered - I can use that as a bargaining point to Willie @ GLS.

cppau, ok for you if you can do in USJ 7??
