Honda City

not start clutch? hmm... any ideas the correct way of describing the problem? :unsure:

get those ppl at HSC to get the problem settled since it's under warranty.. otherwise, complaint sama dia :P

 

[psychotic_ass]

its like u have to move the gear stick a bit so that can start the car.. either u push it to N or just nudge it a little when in P... then the car will start... its the the switch was stuck in D or R where the car can't start at all... they can't adjust much... coz they say the more they adjust the more problems will have... so they only can adjust it like a little...

well, they are probably just saving costs for simple things like this.. cuz it's faulty, they should replace those parts <_< you'll never know the day comes when it really fails (no matter how you shift or whack or pull it) and you have to fork out the money to get it replaced (after warranty over) :ph34r:

bros if u have a prob with the gears and no help from SC call their cust service num in d yellow pages or bttr still threaten to complain in paper man! u neva know wht the power of mass media can do...FREEDOM!!! (quote from Braveheart) :lol:

 

[Jackie Leong]

btw, any ideas what i can use to clean up the dirt on the carpets and door panels, door rubbers?

very easy for them to get dirty la.. i put those black rubber floormats on top of the ones that came with the City, end up having a square shape on top of those carpets <_<

 

[Keano]

jackie,

i those fitted from custom made thick rubber bought & cut from on-cost - 30bux/sq.foot Follows d original shape & covers the original really well so no need to worry bout getting dirty (i hope)

 

[psychotic_ass]

keano.. don't have to complain to mass media... all you have to do is write an official complain letter & fax it to Honda Malaysia... next thing you know kau tim everything... hahaha.. like what i did when the idiots from a honda SC forgoten to tighten the fuel line to the Fuel filter of my CRV & cause the whole car to auto shut down for safety reason coz the fuel line came out & there was fuel everywhere on the road.... then i complain to the SC & complain to HQ (Honda Malaysia) they wrote an offical apology letter & mail it back with some holiday vouchers... :lol: hahaha...

about the dirt... i usually wash the carpets... hand wash myself with detergent... & sun it dry... but now change carpets that bought from honda.... those darker type... although looks a bit ugly... but... at least doesn't look dirty... :D

about the switch... 2 years warranty.. i think i will change it right b4 the warranty period over... :lol:

 

[Jackie Leong]

it's not the removable carpets that got dirty leh.. it's the ones that's carpeted throughout the car one.. :(

is there any carpet cleaner out there? dunno how to go about cleaning it..

any pics of how the carpets you bought from honda looks like?

Marlboro,
is that bad? hahahaha.. :P :lol:
where have you been la brudder.. busy dropping in K20a or something? :ph34r:

Noob,
welcome to the club :P
what sort of limits are we looking at here? (until what rev the engine explodes? top speed limit before explode? :P) :unsure:

ABS can be disabled by removing the fuse from the fuse box (i think). but why do you want to do so? on the road, it's best to keep the ABS functional.. unless track then it's understandable la..

as per changing the rim, i ain't sure but i guess it would void warranty cuz it already affected the suspension, etc.. but i am not very sure, best to call HSC to enquire about it ;)

sonictheory,
careful a bit wei.. later after touch up, you kena again then jia lat.. last time when i added skirtings to my civic, i also hit the kerb cuz not used to height limit of the car.. so easily hit it.. haha, otherwise u can try mounting the reverse sensor on the skirtings :P

[snapback]852800[/snapback]​

where can do touch up ar?...very sien edy see those scratch around kit there..aih...lol..maybe those front sensor lah...sure very bising one...later front bising belakang bising...can crazy...

The actual name for our rides is called the Fit-Aria :P :lol:

choiiiii! no explosion crap wei.. our cars are still new! :o
once after 1000km, can slowly check on the performance of your ride by driving it harder and braking harder :P

ABS kicks in when you brake "faster" or you slammed on the brakes hard.. once i slammed until screeching tires O.O that was cuz to avoid a swerving lorry.. don't want to end up with a pancake City right? :ph34r:
