Hi there, 1. I'm wondering whether I could upgrade my default 15" rims and tyres to 16" for my 04 Civic. There is no mention of the car compatibility with 16" except 15" and 14" in the owner manual . 2. How much should I budget for a set of 4 rims and tyres? Being new to changing rims, what should I look for when I shop for them? Which are the mainstream brands from Japan, europe and america? 3. Would 16" provides better road holding and stability at the expense of fuel economy and noises? Kindly advise and Thank you very much. Regards,

Hi All, Any Civic drivers facing the same issue with water droplets in the head / back lights after rain or wash? Is it normal? My paint protection guys told me this is a defect for a new car, suspected sealant has not been done properly. But the Honda agent say it is normal

Looks like even before AD has received the Civic Type R, another Type R is being created. Not sure why the rush

Hi all, Posting on behalf of my Honda's club. His car was stolen at Boon Teck Road. Both of his keys are with him. Please help us to locate his car if you happen to see. If you happen to see, please call him @ 9636 6000 He has no backlog with bank. Clean record. Thank you in advance. Newly added: this photo was taken not on the same day, cause he don't take picture every time he parked. Keith

Hi there, My honda civic wiper has been there for 2 yrs + since first collected. Is there any recommeded wipers for me to change? price? easy to change? How do I know if wipers need to be changed? Mine creates noise when moving across the windscreen.

Fluids Fuel pump assembly removed completely Original fuel filter P/N. Comparison between new brake fluid and one that is 3 years old Breakdown of costs: Self Supplied Engine Oil CLTR 5W40 - $29.90 Oil Filter - $6.00 Brake Fluid (1L) - $7.35 Fuel Strainer - $39.90 Red Line MTL (2 quarts) - $46.00 From Riverview Labour - $100.00 Surcharge for Self Supplied items - $30.00 Total: $259.15 Time taken was approx. 3 hours. [/color] Comments: Could save more if I didn't change the manual transmission fluid. Changed it because KM used a wrong spec for it when they changed mine at 20k (wth they do that, I do not know.) Did not change coolant as well, which costs $20 for 4L at Riverview. During the servicing the mechanic, Ah Chin, went through with me the parts that he replaced and in some instances explaining in detail, especially the part on the fuel strainer. Upon re-assembly of the fuel pump back into the rear, a pressure gauge was used to test for the presence of any leakage (if there was, the fuel pump assembly was not tightened properly and cranking would take a longer time, or even be not possible.) Brake pads were also not required to be changed (still using day one originals) OEM Nissin ones cost $50.40, which I brought along just in case. After completion of servicing, the boss, Vincent took the car together with me for a drive to check for any anomalies. Finally, after everything was done, a car wash, including the engine bay, which left the insides spick and span.

Hi Can someone advise what is the K&N drop-in model for 2017 1.6 Honda Civic (petrol)? Can seems to find the filter form K&N official website which only has the 1.6l diesel. Thank you

Of late, I have seen many HDB 's owner dumping unwanted stuff along lift-lobby. We can understand during peak season like CNY, HRP, Deepavali or X'mas season. 2day, I saw a 70% used tyre dumped along side the lift lobby, if the owner can be bothered to bring it downstair, at least have the courtesy to carry to the rubbish chute behind, should we start a thread to shame this dumper or educate them proper, cast your vote. Kam xia lu ! what have fellow MCF seen of late/ recently duped items a) Sofa set, old furnitures b)

Hi, My 2006 civic FD headlight (left side) has yellowish tinge. I am planning to renew COE. If you are scrapping your civic FD, I would like to swap the headlight with you, provided yours is in good condition. I would pay for workshop labour and a small token of appreciation. Kindly contact me if you are keen.

Despite Honda’s reputation for building great engines, the Japanese automaker has been slow to adopt direct injection (DI) & Turbo Charged (TC). The technology is now commonplace in all segments of the market, and allows for higher compression ratios and therefore improved efficiency & preformance. Good sign for Honda fans, Finally Honda introducted direct injection (DI) & Turbo Charged (TC) to their inline 4 cyclinder engine, eqipped on 2015 Civic Type R http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/honda/civic/85978/honda-civic-type-r-2015-price-release-date-and-specs unfortuntely it's FWD, when can honda adopt AWD in their sport car?

It's here!!! Anyone planning to get or have already gotten?

*Posting on behalf of a friend* Appealing for witnesses or video feed of an errant silver grey Honda Civic and a white Volvo V60 along Beach Road at 6.30pm today, Feb the 12th. The accident happened infront of the U turn of 324 Beach Road. The Honda Civic cut three lanes and side swiped the Volvo V60. Unfortunately there was no in car camera and as my friend came out to ask a bystander to be a witness, the bloody Honda Civic driver escaped and drove away. Could not get his number plate in time. If anyone has a video feed of the Honda Civic, please pm me. Thanks!

Visited KM showroom, cant decide which to book as they have their pros n cons and price diff only abt 1k. For a family with two teenagers, which will be a better choice? Anyone which has the same situation as me? Appreciate all the advises. Sorry for the typo error, should be Honda instead of Hinda.

It is time of the year again I got a quote From AIG of $1511 (Excess $2600) 55% NCD Aviva $1734 excess $3000 my ride Honda civic type r (FN2) Is this a good quote cause i was paying $1400++ last year, this year increased again Any agent here can quote lower? email me at [email protected] ASAP

http://www.autoblog.com/2016/03/01/honda-civic-hatchback-prototype-geneva-2345/#slide-3816673 Looking pretty sweet for a prototype. I wonder how the final version will turn out? Edit: Sorry boss, supposed to be "Honda Civic Hatchback Prototype unveiled"

So this is the new Civic?

Honda Yuasa Racing’s decides to run the Civic Tourer in the 2014 British Touring Car Championship. Cool to see a wagon back in racing. Reminds me of the volvo 850 also in BTCC.

Looks like our neigbour across the Causeway are also getting the 2.0 i-VTEC Honda Civic! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey Boys! I'm Back!! When the current generation 'ES-Civic' was launched in 2001, Honda shocked and upset their fans by deleting the mighty SiR sedan and launched SOHC-VTEC variants in its place, even for the Japanese Domestic Market. With the hatchback Civic Type-R the only performance oriented variant and as usual reserved for Japan only (though UK/Europe has their own version as well), Civic fans especially across Asia responded by abandoning this model en-mass. Unfortunately the general buyer to whom the ES-Civic is targetted for did not respond as hoped. As a result the Honda Civic slumped to near oblivion over the last few years especially here in Asia. Honda of course is alarmed and most definitely not amused by the turn of events. On the morning of May 18th 2004, only a few months after a minor face-lift late last year, Honda Malaysia took the offensive and announced yet another change to the Civic line-up for Malaysia. And this time, they mean business ! Just as with the Jazz revision launch last month, for this Civic revision, Honda has gone back to its root and has blatantly addressed us the enthusiast. For this new line-up, Honda Malaysia retained the 1.7l SOHC VTEC Civic with a minor exterior revision but also introduced a very much awaited and long overdued performance variant, the Civic 2.0 iVTEC sedan ! Who would pay more for just an engine? If its the right engine, the enthusiast would of course ! The new Civic 2.0 iVTEC features the highly regarded 2.0l K20A engine. As Honda enthusiasts would know well, the K20A is DOHC iVTEC in configuration with iVTEC (i.e. VTEC and VTC) implemented on the intake side. On this Civic, VTEC switches between a 1 valve low-cam and a 2 valve high-cam mode like on the CR-V, Stream and Accord with VTC working to optimize torque and fuel economy across the mid-range. The intake manifold is a single short length runner design, unlike the CR-V & Stream where a dual runner intake is used, or the 2.0l Accord where the single runners are long and tuned for low-end torque. I had a discussion with the Honda R&D engineer Kinoshita-san who was on the Civic 2.0 iVTEC design team. According to him, while the K20As on the CR-V, Stream and 2.0l Accord are designed for good low-end torque at the detriment of high-end power, the K20A on the Civic is designed for a good spread of torque across the rpm range. This is shown by the specs of the engine: 155ps at 6500rpm, similar to the CR-V and Stream but with a max torque of 18.0kgm at 5000rpm - lower max torque but coming in at a higher rpm. Thus the K20A on this Civic is designed to have a very wide useable power band, with good pulling power from the low-end right up to the redline of 6800rpm. I told him us enthusiasts expects our 'twin-cam-vtec' engines to pull strongly right to red-line. Kinoshita-san told me this engine is designed to do just that. I also told him how I just reviewed the 1.7l Civic and I was dissappointed at the engine sound. We enthusiasts highly values what we colloidally calls the 'VTEC Roar'. Kinoshita-san smiled and nodded saying Honda now understand that and then again tells me the K20A will also do 'just that'. I reacted by giving him the good old 'thumbs up' ! Besides the larger, more advanced and more powerful K20A engine, the new 2.0l Civic also comes equipped with a new 5-speed gearbox equipped with progressive shift technology and Grades Logic Control. As an enthusiast, I am used to close ratio gearboxes for (manual gearboxed) performance models but however when I checked the gear ratios on this new 2.0l Civic, I found that the 1st and 2nd gear still maintains quite a large difference in ratio : 2.684 for 1st vs 1.500 for 2nd, a difference of 1.184 which while closer than that on the 4AT of the 1.7l version but is still relatively larger than what I would expect. On the other hand, the ratios for 3rd, 4th and 5th are spaced relatively close together, going from 0.983 to 0.733 to 0.571 respectively. I put this to Kinoshita-san who explained that because most of the driving is expected to occur with the gearbox in one of these gears, i.e. 3rd, 4th or 5th, they are set with rather tall ratios so as to avoid constant high revs and thus ensure relatively good fuel economy. The good and wide power-band of the K20A means that good pick-up is still available even with the rather tall ratios. In any case, with 1 extra gear to work with, the 2.0l Civic's 5AT still retain higher (shorter) ratios when compared gear to gear (i.e. 3rd to 3rd, 4th to 4th) with the 1.7l Civic. And now of course it has a 5th gear which is geared really nice and tall for low-rpm high speed cruising. To be sheepishly honest, I was still not convinced by Kinoshita-san's rationale at that time. But today while researching for this article, I checked the gear ratios for the 4AT gearboxs used on the much loved EG9 & EK4 SiR auto and I found that even they have rather tall ratios, indeed taller ratios than this 2.0l Civic. So with a relatively mild increase in kerb-weight but a relatively massive increase in torque thanks to an engine that is 25% (2l compared to 1.6l) larger, the 2.0l Civic fares very well even when compared to these great performance Civics of the recent past ! The intake system used on the K20A is similar to the one used on the CR-V and Stream, with the intake pipe making a turn from the throttle body back towards the car. The system also features the 'cold air intake' design, with the filter box routing in air via a tube connected to the front of the car, behind the front grill and in front of the radiator, thus taking in the relatively cooler air there and shielded from the hot air inside the engine bay. To the delight of us enthusiasts, the Civic 2.0 iVTEC also comes loaded to the brim with Honda's most current technologies. Besides the K20A engine and the 5AT GLC gearbox, the 2.0l Civic comes with dual-SRS, ABS, EBD, BA (Brake Assist), EPS (Electrical Power Steering), and climate control (i.e. fully automatic fuzzy logic air-conditioning). To emphasize a sporty and luxurious orientation, the interior is fully leathered with a black-based colour scheme. The front seats are quite semi-bucket like in sculpture and comes with 'sporty headrests'. The dashboard panelling are 'hi-mesh metal' which is a sort of checkered pattern a bit similar to carbon-fibre finishing. No more fake wood finishes ! Even the steering wheel and the door panels are leathered, the door panels being complemented with some hi-mesh metal finishing as well. Exterior-wise, the new 2.0l Civic features a minor face-lift mainly to the front. The headlights are slimmer and of a new interior design, better looking in my opinion compared to the previous ones. The front grill seems larger and also features a revised design. The most significant changes are the front and rear bumpers, the front bumper especially given a more rounded design and again comes with integrated foglights and an integrated lower lip. The rest of the car is mostly similar to the old version except for a new rear taillight cluster design. Wheels are 15" alloy fitted with 195/60R15 88H Goodyear tyres. But in the end, what I find most significant and most gratifyind is that with the launch of this Civic 2.0 iVTEC variant, in a single move Honda Malaysia has given us enthusiasts in Malaysia, the most powerful and most technologically advanced Civic sedan auto ever sold in this region. Indeed at 155ps, it is also currently the most powerful and most advanced in its market segment, beating out its competitors by miles ! The car screams sporty any way we look at it. Indeed even when pitted against the mighty SiR Civics of the previous generations - the famous EG9 and EK4 Civic SiR variants - when comparing like to like (i.e. auto to auto), this Civic 2.0 i-VTEC matches their power but with a better midrange, a more advanced gearbox and higher technology ! Indeed I for one would have been more than happy to accept Honda Malaysia calling this as an ES3 Civic Ferio SiR ! And Now, the Finishing Blow In a unique unprecedented move, in this Civic launch Honda Malaysia surprised even me by also putting up a specially prepped Civic on show ! They took a Nighthawk Black 2.0l and slapped on a bodykit; front & rear lower lips, rear trunk spoiler and a great looking front grille (the side skirts are standard). To this, they swapped the wheels to the 16" 'Civic Type-R' lookalikes used on their highly successful limited edition Civic RX of last year and with Bridgestone Potenza tyres and also used a set of Eibach Pro-Kit sport springs to lower the ride height of the car. Then they cheekingly put this on display behind the main-stage and calls it a 'Concept Civic'. As a package, this special Civic now truly screams 'hard-core !' at me. The car looks fantastic and for a change, this time has the performance to back up the sporty looks ! And the good news is when I asked about plans for this Civic, the response sounds 'positive'. If it really gets sold, it would really be fun to look at what wild and wonderful things an enthusiast can do to such a car, with the looks already catered for and an engine just begging to be souped-up ! In 'celebration' of this wonderful new move, I will be covering this unit in a special photoshoot article later. Back With a Vengence! For too long the Civic rotted at the bottom of the mid-sized executive market segment, competing unsuccessfully and getting creamed by the likes of the Toyota Altis and Nissan Sentra, both of which uses a 1.8l DOHC engine with variable valve timing to take down the 1.7l SOHC VTEC. But now it's no more the weakling whipping boy. Watch out everyone, the Civic is back and it's back with a vengence ! With a single crippling blow, Honda Malaysia at once makes the Civic the most powerful and most advanced car in this market segment. And given the specification, I am confident it will be the fastest (auto) one as well. The only damper was the pricing - quality have to come at a price and at RM$124,900 'On The Road', it has unfortunately breached the psychological 120k barrier that enthusiasts have for the upper price limit of a Honda Civic. So only time will tell if the attraction of this new Civic will justify the relatively high premium it commands. What is most gratifying to me at the launching ceremony was how Honda Malaysia blatantly addressed this new 2.0l Civic to us enthusiasts. The whole ceremony focussed almost completely on the 2.0l Civic, with only a small mention that the 1.7l version has received 'minor revisions' as well. Then the packaging and design of the 2.0l Civic screams sporty and enthusiasts right from its very core. Kinoshita-san told me the design objective for the car is 'luxury with performance'. It's aimed at those enthusiasts who appreciates stylish relaxed cruising but also very much enjoys performance driving as well. And then of course there's that 'concept car' ! I have often said in the past how Honda is going back more and more to its sporty and performance oriented roots and that us enthusiasts remains an important integral part of their customer base. They may have strayed a little bit off the track once and while but this time, they are surely right on track ! And at this rate, given their track record, I am now so much more hopeful for even harder core performance enthusiast models for the future ! Given my hard-core enthusiast nature, it would surely not be a surprise to readers that I am very excited and eager to check out the performance abilities of this new (what I like to call) K20A-Civic. So for this launch, I made a request to Honda Malaysia to participate in the special media familiarization session they usually hold for most of their new model launches. Hopefully my request can be accomodated and I hope to be able to conduct a quick short test drive and report on it in the near future while waiting patiently for the review cars to clock up the mileage and run in properly before I borrow it for a longer period to do the full length review. Stay tuned !

Hi, I am considering to buy used Hybrid and chanced upon a used 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid 1.3A I started to read into this forum and want to get a feel of technical/common issues (if there are) typical of Honda Hybrid. It seems that the unstability or depletion of hybrid battery is quite common. The dealer told me that a replacement battery is between 1.5 - 2 thousand (cant check with Kah Motor over weekend). Any brothers/sisters drive hybrids over here in this forum? Can advise if the hybrid batteries is a bugging issue (and any other things that i should watch out for)? I plan to buy this for my wife, and wanted some hassle-free and good FC car. Thanks for your help.

Been looking at the 2 choices for replacement. Seems 1.8 Civic can be cheaper than the 1.6 Corolla! Any issues that I need to be aware for the Corolla? What are its known problems? I heard the aircon not strong for Altis?

Hi peeps! Anyone here can advise whats the correct tyre size if lets say I want to upsize my rims to 18 inchers? Currently driving civic fd 1.8 with 16inch stock rims and tyres. Thanks!
