Honda City CVT gearbox

[Riezal-R]

if you've friends or members in a club around with stock rims, switch with them for a day or two and go claim your warranty :p

honda6831 has 17inches on his ride and i'm not sure what part was torn but i think it might be the bushes but his SC replaced those parts anyway. He said, go kawan-kawan with the SC people :D

increasing rims will damage the gearbox..?

Yeah I might have to result to keeping my 15" rims and swap it in everytime I go servicing. But I think better to kaw-tim with the service centre.

Not to say that its a theory. But just saying that in the event that the CVT fails on me and need to change, Honda can claim that my 17" rims is putting too much stress on my transmission or some other excuse that relates to that, then I'm screwed. Even if I argue about it, they can still say that putting in 17" rims voids the warranty altogether.

I am unsure of this, which is why im asking, on what basis will Honda void the warranty.

 

[Jackie Leong]

yeah.. just friend friend with the service centre to claim warranty parts :D it ain't that hard for them to just switch rims with another car and just do the standard procedure of taking pictures and filing for a claim..

just don't play-play with the engine bay during warranty period and that should be pretty fine.. especially when the CVT issue isn't all that clear yet ;)

i've referred to the warranty booklet.. can't even understand much of the terms, because one part says its okay.. the other part says it'll void the complete warranty.. got so confused i'll just go ahead with what i think should be fine.

sometimes i guess it's just a matter of whether your SC wants to play you around (you can always go to another SC and try your luck again..) as the SC are the ones that'll report the matter to HM.

but if they don't allow warranty claim, then go get halfcut for manual transmission :p

Yeah hopefully that will work. I don't plan to touch anything else but just want to shove in a set of 17" rims. If can 18", but i duno if they will fit nicely on a Jazz.

there's a member from mycityclub that slap in 18" BSA rims with 225/18 tires on his VTEC City.. (i think 35series tires..) but I think he bey tahan with the heavy rims cuz he gonna switch to 17inches already :p however you can bet on it that taking corners is sweet!

even HCOC ERT I-DSI City (honda6831)'s ride was previously on 18inches for 1 week before he change back to 17inches.. honda6831 said tekan tekan oso the car dun wanna move :p haha!

fitting in larger rims can be done but i think it's a matter of how it complements the overall look.. (stock? bodykit? tinted?) it'll be better if you can get rims that are ngam ngam for the Jazz..

i've personally seen a Jazz with 17inches enkei rims with 40series tires.. probably lowered as well (lowering springs will void off the suspension) but it looks so freaking sweet u'll drool till u wet ur pants as well :p

 

[Riezal-R]

Then once im done, make sure you dont come near my car. I don't want you to wet your pants when im around. Hahah.

 

[Jackie Leong]

dun liddat la.. i wear pampers la k? hahaha :p :D

 

[Riezal-R]

My goal is to prove that Jazz isn't just a gurlie car. And yes, pampers is ok.

 

[Jackie Leong]

hahaha.. Jazz ain't a gurlie car ;)
City ain't uncle/auntie's car neither :D

that's why mostly youngsters are in Team City le.. powderful in terms of exterior looks oni :p

ADVAN RG, SPOON or SSR. Superbly light. Less than 4kg per rim. But for toughness, well.... with the amount of pot holes in here, no rims can survive. Lorry rims can.

yo, my bro's EK3 D15B 1gen CVT gearbox just annouced kong.

but it still able to drive... but the mech says get a new one.
just that when push to reverse or D... the car just doesn't move
at all. unless u press the accelerator(once press a bit it zoom out a bit
scary.....

Unlike normal Auto gearbox. once in the D/reverse the car will move
without pressing accelerator.the there is weird sound when reversing.
the car is god damn no power when pick up.

suspected at the last owner didn't maintain at all. and should be hardcore
user. 1st onwer is a lady, just opposite the mech shop. and according to
the mech the car is in perfect condition when sold to 2nd owner...
now the 3rd owner suffer.... :X
