I pump vPower. 3. I think most of us did ours outside. These aftermarket stuff usually outside shops are more professional. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My previous car was a 12s car, and my current Civic 1.5t is 8s. flooring it and you reach the next traffic light few seconds faster, at the expense of terrible FC the Imprezza is not a bad car... being well-built and feature rich albeit regular servicing is a little higher and the resale value is rather poor. I enjoy driving but Singapore is too small, most journey driving time less one hour, shiit have enjoyed enough reached destination, thus I like slow car don't mind facking 0-100, slowly driving to enjoy fun On 5/15/2018 at 2:50 AM, yrh0413 said: I'm on 1.5t. 1.

I am 35 years old.. by right should be cheaper insurance.. also 40% NCD.. according to my SA this plan is the cheapest.. (Tokyo marine) if I am not mistaken..

My previous car was NA, but since now getting 1.5T, I wonder if the "feel" between Ron 98 and Ron 95 will be more significant because now it is turbocharged.. I used to pump SPC 98.. not V power though.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WONWON 1st Gear May 16, 2018 Share May 16, 2018 For those who recently rec'd their 1.6NA Civic, do you feel a mildly strong vibration at D mode while idling at traffic lights/stopping, which is caused by the air con compressor cutting in and out roughly at a 30 secs interval? The rmp will increase by 50 ( from 700 to 750), and the vibration will set in, cut feel the vibration via the steering, the left leg( if you lean it against the shift lever console) and the head-rest. Not to the stage of rattling but quite annoying. Vibration doesn't happen when air con is off. The car's new so should not be the engine mounts issues. Kah keeps telling me it's normal when I went for 1K servicing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
