Honda Airwave

[Airwave001]

S mode is wat u unleash ur VTEC. Juz floor it and feel...

[Gene2]

Poh Seng Auto Accessories Trading has this package to lightly tune the engine. It has Cold Air Intake Power, Fuel Charger, Super Volt Stabilizer and Grounding Cables for $288. What are they for actually?

 

Anyone installed the HUrricane Stainless Steel filter? I wanna install, and also the white lamps from Philips.

 

Anyone did sound proofing to the car?

[Airwave001]

I've installed the Hurricane, low end slight improvement, else nothing much, at least this last longer than stock.

 

sadly, airwaves arent as quiet as i wan it to be. Especially mine is fitted with 16inch F1 tyres, road + engine noise. U notice the engine noise to be quite high? esp during idling and aircon kicks in...mine was SP with silent. not entirely satisfied, i guez if you really wan go level of sound improvement, u need to SP everything. not a few areas like mine ( wheel arc, fender, bonnet and doors ). The noise was not really eliminated, it was juz muffled.

I think SPC really bad bad bad bad bad ! ! ! Give me more discount also no use, their petrol so lousy... I just pumped back to shell95, and will monitor it again, and upped the tyre pressure to 250 front and 240 back from 230 front and 220 back.

S mode will leave out the 4th gear right?

 

How much did u spend on SP ur airwave?

[Airwave001]

i did not notice s mode skip 4th gear, any wavers comment?

 

SP breakdown - 4 doors 280, bonnet 100, 4 wheel arc and fender 380, total 760

 

conclusion: the 4 doors make a diff to ur audio, and it sounds good when u close the door

Bonnet muffles the engine noise.

Wheel arc and fender - right now i find no justification for the cost yet. Maybe is my F1 tyres

 

Be prepared to heart pain a bit coz they are gng to tear ur airwave apart to access to the areas to be SP esp the rear wheel arc and fender.

 

Maybe the car do become quiet now. When my fuel tank is full, and due to wave central tank design, when i suddenly accelerate and brake the car, i could hear the petrol splashing noise. haha

[Teammax]

Did u incorporate CAI with yr Hurricane?

I am considering a CAI with the Hurriance dropin. Apparently the the CAI will improve low-end quite a bit.

 

quite a bit of SP done. Any -ve impact on FC since now yr ride is heavier?

 

Cheers.

Hi Headshok,

 

Have you convince your dad on the airwave yet.

If not...all Airwave bro & sis, each contribute a good reason for Headshok.. .

 

Cheers

Longblack

[Headshok]

yo man,

 

thanks for the help, but he still seems bent on gettin the swift.. duno man.

 

the biggest turn off for him is the parts issue..

 

hope someone bring in parts for airwave soon.. hehe

[Longblack]

well... So you will be getting the SWIFT SPORTS

Is a nice car..

[Headshok]

aiyah.. i'll choose the airwave anyday.. bigger, more functional also.. and i'm an ICE person.. more boot space to put woofers.

[Jamstart]

Bought my tonnue cover at $380, just to share with all airwavers how it is look like.

[Ravereviewer]

Bro,

 

Can tell where you got it? How long did it take to install?

 

Thanks.

[Jamstart]

Got it ffrom my own PI lor. take less than 2 min to put up.

[Karu]

$380 is still too ex for a cover!!! I'll not pay more than $200 for it.

[Jamstart]

Understand but 200 is quite impossible unless it is a second hand. Actually, i am thinking of selling off as second hand after a few years ride, so still not so bad lor. By that time, a few years later, i believe there are more airwavers on the road. Anyway, a cover for behind still can hide away from those peeping tom. hehehe.

[Shaimerc]

Hi Friends,

 

Can anyone recommend good PI, I wish to test-drive and probably buy Honda Airwave. But, after reading about experiences of people with PI, I am kinda nervous.

 

Appreciate your help!

 

Further, what prices I should expect, as I believe prices advertised for the same model with COE/Guranteed Delivery etc... are between 55K to 65K.

 

Cheers!
