if yu want good fuel consumption get the rpm under 3000 and change gear every like 1 second on accelerating. It is so hard keeping the car in low rpm :)Quote:

just thought ill share this with you guys Sitta's CTR with 6000k HID first in australia with HID?? i bought the kit off ebay and did it myself. Took me 2 hours, there arent really space at all to work inside the engine bay especially in the right light since the battery and an airduct is blocking it. I didnt take off the whole bumper i just stick the ballast in the engine bay. I pulled this off because im small about 170cm and got small hands.

Thats hectic nice job....im picking my civic type R up tomorrow around lunchtime. Hows the car been running for you at the moment sitta? Any problems you picked up?
ok problem one is obviously third gear usually when it is cold
and the paint job is shit. they chip so easily i have hundreds of small chips on my front bumper and bonnet. Dealer said over the phone they cant to anything, modern cars have soft paints, does that mean all modern cars got shit paints? my mdx is 3 years old and havent got any chip
rear wheels gets brake dust so easily so you better clean them often
hmm... whatelse not much, the car has been running well, and the best fuel for this car i have found ( for economy and performance) is bp ultimate
