Some pics of new honda edix to share, sorry if someone posted b4.

This type of car is very rare on the road now, but I found a lot of private driving instructor choice it, I was driving this model car, its clutch is not easy to balance at low gear, and jerk at 1st and 2nd gear, why so many instructor use it as learning car?

Hi, I am currently driving Edix 2L i-vtec engine. I am thinking of the following: 1. Tune my IVTEC, anyone knows iVtec tuner? 2. Super-charge, anyone does this before? 3. Put in broquet, does it help? Need comments on this 3 points. Cheers

Just got my Modulo Honda City VTEC auto two days ago. Very happy man. Changed the rims to 16 inch. [inline "Honda City VTEC 680.jpg"] N.B: Resized down to 680 max width for easier viewing. - Assassin

Hi guys, any comments on the previous model City VTEC (M), such as performance, reliability and FC? I understand it is made in Thailand? Any known problems with this car? Cheers

Specifications for the 1.8l i-VTEC engine Engine type and number Water-cooled in-line 4-cylinder of cylinders Displacement (cc) 1,799 Bore x Stroke (mm) 81.0 x 87.3 Max. Output (kW [PS]/rpm) 103 [140]/6,300 Max. Torque (Nm [kgm]/rpm) 174 [17.7]/4,300 Compression Ratio 10.5 Tokyo, Japan, July. 05, 2005 - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (TSE: 7267)(NYSE: HMC)(LSE: 7267q) today announced that it has developed a new 1.8l i-VTEC engine to be introduced this fall in the new Civic that achieves both more powerful performance and improved fuel economy. The engine employs an intelligent VTEC system that switches the valve timing for maximum efficiency during startup and acceleration to achieve powerful, torquey performance, then delays intake valve closure timing during cruising and other low-load conditions for improved fuel economy. Use of the valve timing control system results in off-the-line acceleration performance equivalent to a 2.0-liter engine, fuel economy approximately 6% better than the current 1.7-liter Civic engine, making it one of the world's most efficient 1.8-liter engine designs. During cruising, the new engine achieves particularly high fuel economy, on a par with that of a 1.5-liter engine. Under low-load conditions on conventional engine, the throttle valve is normally partly closed to control the intake volume of the fuel-air mixture. During this time, pumping losses are incurred due to intake resistance, and this is one factor that leads to reduced engine efficiency. With the i-VTEC engine, however, intake valve closure timing is delayed to control the intake volume of the air-fuel mixture, allowing the throttle valve to remain wide open even under low-load conditions for a major reduction in pumping losses of up to 16%. Combined with comprehensive friction-reducing measures, this results in a significant increase in fuel efficiency for the engine itself. A DBW (Drive By Wire) system provides high-precision control over the throttle valve while the valve timing is being changed over, ensuring smooth driving performance that leaves the driver unaware of any torque fluctuations. Other innovations include a variable-length intake manifold that delivers optimum inertia effect to further improve intake efficiency and piston oil jets that cool the pistons to suppress engine knock, for powerful torque even at rpm ranges typical in normal driving. The new engine delivers a high level of performance, with maximum output of 103kW (140PS) and maximum torque of 174Nom (17.7kgom). It also delivers cleaner emission performance, employing a 2-bed catalytic converter positioned immediately after the manifold and high-precision air-fuel ratio control to achieve emission levels 75% below 2005 Japanese government standards (based on Honda in-house testing). In addition, lower block construction resulting in a more rigid engine frame, aluminum rocker arms, high-strength cracked connecting rods, a narrow, silent cam chain, and other innovations make the engine more compact and lightweight. It is both lighter and shorter overall than the current Civic 1.7l engine, and quieter as well.

I like this VTEC emblem ... where to get it anyone know???

It is said that you must practise cation when changing battery of your Honda Vtec cars. You have to hold the battery charge or memory of VTEC will be cleared and reset. Anyone kana this before ?? I think only KM can help in Singapore, or maybe there're other workshops available ??

Hi Guys, been thinking of this for some time. CAn a honda's vtec engine be turbo charged without losing its vtec advantages?

Anyone knows tat there is such thing call vtec controller.It is use to control the opening of the vtec at different RPM and u dun have to change the chip.i think u can adjust the vtec from the minterior of ur car.

Honda city has 2 types: - DSI - Vtec what is the diffences in terms of the engine? (Besides sirbag, EBD..etc)

hi all... juz nid some advice and help as well... firstly my main prob is.... i'll be getting a eg6 or eg5 sometime tis year... but my main concern is... eg6 the dep/yr is kinda still high for a COE paid car... of course i know coz it's a twin cam vtec tat's why... however i did consider of getting a eg5 and dropping in a DOHC twin cam vtec engine... but comparing the performace which one will be beta? as in beta acceleration pickup... now comes the help part... i'm looking for eg6/eg5 at reasonable dep/yr... if anyone got lobang pls contact me at 91856884~! thanks alot~!

HI, Thot of getting a new car but could not decide which one. Any comments/suggestion on the above cars?

http://asia.vtec.net/Reviews/20CivicRev/ Take a look at this, any idea it will reach our shores? are we able to bring it on if we make a request at KM or i would have to do it by PI?? Pls enlighten.

Noticed from honda website that the City VTEC (M) going for onli $61,500. Thot that's pretty good value given the VTEC engine and it's potential. But dun see many VTEC models on the road leh, more of i-DSi. Anything wrong wif that model?

I had decided to get a Honda City but still can't make up my mind which of the City should I choose......Can any bros here advise.....(FC,Safety,performance....etc)tks alot.(Price different now is 4k)

today done my first 1000km. sent for service.... and then test my vtec.... power!! reaching 120 to 140km/h is like a breeze.... but beyond that no balls lah.... singapore so many mata..how to?? next month go malaysia and can burn more rubber

Wat's the difference between VTEC and i-vtec? I noticed in the Honda Accord brochure that the 3L model has VTEC, while the 2.4L model has i-VTEC. The brochure does explain a bit, something to do wif fuel economy, but i still dun get it. If it offers no drop in performance, why dun they use it on the 3L model as well?

I am interested to get a honda civic vtec now after the test drive in ubi. Which of these cars is a better option (pros/cons) 1) City Vtec 1.5A $73 000 2) Civic Vtec 1.6A $80 000 3) Civic Vti-S 1.7A $85 500 Any SE to recommend. Want to get a good buy. Please advise. Thank you so much! Comparing to 2002 Civic Vti 1.5A around $60 000 in the 2nd hand market. A new car or a old car is more worth it?

i was running at 5500rpm when vtec starts to kick in.... gaining momentum till reaches the red line.... then it suddenly goes to cruising mode 4500 - 5000rpm?? but still it maintains the speed even more!! reached till 180 until canot go some more... was the vtec supposed to be in crusing mode after reaching red line?? felt like calling those KM mechanics

I am looking for a new car, after shopping for one weekend and test drive 6 different cars, Altis, Gen 2, Waja, Lancer, Mazda 3 and Honda Civic Vtec I have short listed 2 of my best choice. Mazda 3 and Honda Civic. My budget is about 75K. I am now driving Lancer MR. I like my present carvery much, but it is too high cost to maintance it, so no choice has to script it and look for another car. So brothers and sisters, any suggestion on this 2 cars, which is is better? p/s I have post this question in another forum, and post here again just to get some ideas from different people. Thanks BR Clifford

can any bro pls advise!wat is the pro n con of this car.is a 92 car.
