Bro, the exhaust pipe behind and the exhaust box below the driver side very ugly... thinking of spraying it to black color.

But must use Very High Temperature paint/spray,

I think it helps to prevent rust too.

In fact, I prefer JDM model with the Honda new Earth Dream 1.5 L DOHC engine. It produces more horse power per c.c as compare to old R18A engine. Moreover, it is more fuel efficient and produce less CO2.

 

the 1.8L engine is an older engine model

the china vezel uses it since last year and made its made in china

Seems to me that our Vezels' exhaust system are all made with Stainless steel. Saw it when I went under my car to have a look while my workshop was doing my 1K servicing 2 days ago. Hopefully will be good.

oh your FC is impressive.... you only change the rim to 17inch?

 

by the way, my tyre is 215/55 so what pressure suits mine?

 

pls advise tks

 

since u are using a narrower tire compared to mine 225/55/17

i suggest try 230 front and back

and pump once every 2 weeks of driving to see how much deflation u get

within the 2 weeks monitor how comfortable or bumpy the ride once nears the two week gauge how the ride comfort and fuel consumption is then pump the tire pressure that is best for u, trial and error

 

i so far pump 240 front and back

and by end of two weeks my deflation will reach btw 211 to 220 by then i know i need to pump again

fuel consumption have been averaging btw 16.8 to 19.5km/l 80%expressway and 20%city driving

best half tank distance 430km, best full tank 630km

The undercarriage including the exhaust should be rust resistance. Moreover spray it black may make your next buyer (if you decide to sell) think that you kena major accident before which resulted in a re-spray paint job.

I'm thinking to change the exhaust, wondering if it affect the FC.

See LTA regulation :

 

Exhaust system

(e.g. exhaust manifolds, catalytic converters, mufflers, etc.)

 

The exhaust system, which consists of the exhaust manifold, catalytic converter and muffler, is used as part of a vehicle's exhaust emission control system to ensure that the exhaust emission meets our environmental requirements. Any modification to the exhaust system would therefore require LTA's approval. The following should be submitted to LTA for evaluation:

a) Certification from the product manufacturer stating that the proposed aftermarket exhaust system is suitable for the make and model of the vehicle.

b) Certifications or test reports from LTA/NEA recognised test laboratories to show that the aftermarket exhaust system when fitted to the vehicle on a per make and model basis complied with prevailing exhaust emission standards.

 

Note: Removing catalytic converters and mufflers are not allowed as it will adversely affect the exhaust emission characteristics of the vehicle.

 

Vehicle owners found modifying or tampering with the exhaust system may face a Court fine of up to $1,000 or 3 months' imprisonment upon conviction in Court.

Since you buying the VHT paint for your exhaust, why not go to autobac and buy a lot of under carriage 3m rubberised paint and spray the whole car undercarrige..including the wheel arches. I bought about 6 can of the rubberised paint and I go to man exhaust to help me spray it while putting on the tail pipe. Pay labour of course.

You guys have to see the vezel undercarriage...that's the reason why I wanted it spray. .

Beside the exhaust itself most of the undercarriage are cover up. You mean spray on the panel as well?

The under carriage panel can be taken out its in 2 pics ...then you can see the bare metal of the under carriage.thats of course you have to go workshop to jack up the car.

Hi guys, it's my first post here but have been following this thread ever since I've decided to be an aspiring vezel-ian. In fact it will be my very first car purchase too. Very very greenhorn!

 

I'm looking at the blue vezel and wonder if you guys can give any opinions as to what color leather seats should suit best?

If fellow broses who already have the blue vezel maybe can share your valuable input?

 

My wife prefers tanned brown leather seats but I'm not sure if it'd suit the blue exterior. ..

 

Sorry, can't contribute much on the technical aspects car performance etc, can only ask at the aesthetics, but I hope to learn more from you guys!

 

Cheers and happy cny :)))

Happy CNY too. It is always heartening to know another like-minded brother. I think tanned brown seats would be very suitable for a blue car body. It adds that conti feel to the car. For the car door you may want to consider 2-colour combi.
