honda6831,
thanks for the valuable advice.
may i know whether you are driving the i-dsi model or vtec model? i'm driving the vtec model and with the stock 15" rims, the maximum mileage i've got with the full tank is almost 430km but most of the time i get around 350 - 400km.. can't imagine what happens when i've got 17 inches on it https://www.zerotohundred.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif alt='sad.gif' />
for the current stock suspensions (spring, absorber, etc) is way too soft to my liking.. the spring travel is too much, making the car's ride quite bumpy.. is there anyway of reducing the spring travel or i have to change the absorbers/spring?
oh yeah, regarding in-dash dvd.. the pioneer looks pretty good from the advertisement on hypertune.. but hey, go check them out before you purchase one.. but after you bought one, then we'll all watch DVDs on your ride when you attend the TT https://www.zerotohundred.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif alt='smile.gif' /> haha.. just kidding https://www.zerotohundred.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif alt='laugh.gif' />
did you upgrade your stock cobra alarm system?
i really envy you guys that are earning your own dough and able to splash your hard-earned money on your rides.. for students like me, we save and save and save and still haven't save enough cuz by the time we have enough, we need to spend them on something else https://www.zerotohundred.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif alt='sad.gif' /> don't even mention about spending on our rides if we're students and have a gf somemore.. well, unless u're richie rich then i take back my statement https://www.zerotohundred.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif alt='tongue.gif' /> https://www.zerotohundred.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif alt='laugh.gif' />

Hihi Jackie,
I am driving the I-DSI model !!!!
Actually the best RIM size from HM is 15" Original Mugen Rim that cost you nearly 10K with tyre !!!!! Original from JAPAN !!!! But, this is only recommend only !!!!
about the fuel consumption, I got some info from mycityclub member that mentioned last year in the forum, they said can reach about 600++KM when during they took their I-DSI from the Showroom, but after some while, it drop to 500++KM with every full tank !!!! Now basically can maintain of 450++KM at stock condition !!!!
As per I mentioned b4, even though I am using 17" at the moment, I still can reach 430++KM with Petronas Gas !!!! Driving attitude like sometimes high rev, ct driving and play with the CVT, so far I really enjoy, no complaint about the fuel consumption !!!!
As per your Q, about the suspension system !!! I been using for tanabe DF series lowered spring with stock absorber for almost 8 months, in terms like the handling & cornering, I personally feel very 'siok' especially rev in LDP, zig zag at federal highway......you really can feel the different !!!! But when comes to comfort, it will be quite suffer, like on the way to KLIA or KL town driving, roads that with bump, hole, un-even road, you really feel the front absorber is not working at all, really really tough or hard !!!!!
Due to my backbone problem, I've change back to stock spring again, now I enjoying the comfort again !!!! But one thing, our stock system quite float, not dare to play with the sharp cornering not at LDP !!!! :P
What I got the info from my SC & HM, they said eibach is a good choice, not too low and also performing but I think the price is same like tanabe, about 1K or above !!!! maybe you can consider that.....absorber so far is recommend to upgrade for rear only !!! front stock system is good enough !!!!!
Note : Info above no offence to anyone, only my personal experience !!!!
About the In-dash DVD, I personal really feel Pioneer is the best, with touch screen, Digital Signal Processor, Super Multi functions to play with !!!!! Planning to upgrade by next 3 months !!!!!
Really glad to see the reply in ZTH forum, fast, quick, action, agressive, young.......
Keep it up !!!!
I will try to recommend more mycityclub members to join in too !!!!!
Cheers.....
