Hi All,

Sorry to bother all the tai ko's and sifu's.

i know there are loads of models like excimo, brougham, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0

currently i found a few cefiro that is year 02, 03, 04
sorry but can need some advice in this

1) FC for 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0?

FC, the 2L and 3L is about the same, in highway only 3L is much better. of course the you get more power in 3L.

2.5L only Japan have it, so anyone with A33 2.5L is also rare, and converted.

major problem, well oil leak after 5 years or around 90 to 100kkm usage, and A33 have the common suspension sound problem like the N16. A33 is sexier compare to A32, but more expensive. Interior i find A32 much better quality compare to A33, but A33 nicer.

Yes weikee... the what part to need to replace to get rid of A33 suspension noise? What is the reference price of that part?

mileage is bad for cefiro.. mine getting about 7~8km/L mine is A33 3.0.
Highway depending on how you run.. me always +/- 140~160kmh.. that's why still got unsettle "Saman":biggrin:

WOW.

That is bad (i'm talking about the summonses). :p

Thanks.

i go outstation every week. So i was thinking of getting an a32 for that purposes coz of safety. If the consumption was about RM 0.18 / km, i think that would be more acceptable to me.

Thanks guys.

Do any of you have the FC for 2.5?

my A32 30GV can get RM 0.17 ~ 0.18/km on 90% highway cruising at 110km/h. Just make sure it's not hurried and a smooth pedal.

I think a bit difficult for those driving 3.0.. a little press down the pedal, already exceed 110kmh.. while your RPM still below 2500.:driver:

i don't use RM/KM calculation is very hard to measure especially fuel price changes. I use KM/Liter, or per fill.

gor 100% highway i can get about 680 to 700km per full tank, about 62 liter before refill.

Hey guys, just got an 84-85 Prelude. Its got a sunroof but can't seem to get it open. I've been doing a lot of work on the car on my own but I don't feel confident enough to remove the headlining and tackle the roof.

Does anyone here know anyone who repairs sunroofs? I know its quite a big job as the motor might be dead or something inside the headlining is broken but I really want this thing to work. :)

Thanks!
