DC5 Advice

[Vagabond]

Subcon:

DC5s , somehow, most of them , STOCK engine requires 4.25 to 4.45 liters to get the oil level to MAXimum.

in addition to that , if Vtec sing their song very very often ......... your engine oil will start "coking" and burning off man ....... so need to top up.

for serious honda drivers, recommend every 1,000 to 1,500 KM to check their engine oil level.

if engine oil level too low and v-tec open ......... the system will switch to "safe mode" , therefore limiting your revs and disabling vtec (if your hondata didnt disable the security warning).


.... all this verified facts

Subcon:

don't know why myvi must be brown colour, but survey conducted over 1 year shows that myvi with brown colour attracts the most number of women !!!!!

if you're still not convinced, have a look yourself , even BMW cannot fight with Myvi Brown colour!



YKS228:

mate, here's a BIG secret .......... all aftermarket exhaust for DC5 needs to have aftermarket holder/bush called "down muffler ring"

that way, the rear tip and the center (slightly) doesnt hit against the bumper or chassis!

alot alot alot of people dont know this, EVEN some experienced workshops!

but if you know inside people at links or N1 or amoil ...... try to ask them and see.


Honda has also mostly corrected the synchro issue in the post-facelift version of the DC5.

is post-facelift version same as 2004 facelift version?

2004 model is the new face lift version!

 

[toiletroll]

2004 model is the new face lift version!

ok ok.... so that means that the gear problem would have been ractified for 2004 facelift units...

i think i got to look at some other showroom for some comparison.....

i also prefer round displays and needles but the crime rate is increasing and ur defi's will be in danger. I have bad experience with my Vafc and RSM.

prasath: hey man, 5w-40 is alright , but its kind of impossible that your oil level is not reducing, you should check some times.
The only reasons oil level doesn't dip:
a) using very thick oil like 20w-50
b) you hardly drive the car
c) you're NOT whacking the car's vtec hard enough


Guys!!!

i'll be down to KL today until next monday!

so, any plans, any tt's or anything, kindly contact me through the phone, i might not have internet access at all times (especially when driving!)

how about a TT session tonight??? aman suria ?

car buyers:

it's not so much the mielege of the car you should be concerned about,

it should be the CONDITION.

but no matter what , wear and tear does occur. even in brand new factory cars, it's a fact of life, and we should all get used to it.

 

[Vagabond]

yes !

the power of dcloo's MONSTER car!

for those DC5 drivers who have yet to sit in or feel mr loo's monster car, I am only charging RM5 per ride
