One thing that I noticed immediately after getting the delivery was the fact that armrest console was less usable despite being quite spacious.......this is perhaps it is not compartmentalized so effectively.........this tray........it's of nice quality and fits well........

Only PKDM.. otherwise Civic central console is very well appreciated everywhere else. Atlas ruined it with rear entertainment idea..

I've been buying almost all of the accessories from AliExpress

I realize this ......... but had to make best use of whatever we got here in Pakistan

The biggest blunder that Atlas made with Turbo variant is this rear entertainment system. It is expensive and it is useless.........since the time I got this car I have not used it once and I was made to pay for it

Mashallah
Congratulations for your ride Bro
body Kit looks amazing and I would prefer the US Modulo kit over Thai Modulo any day.
Drive safe

Is it just me or the body kit color doesn't match the car.

r.jay.s (r.jay.s) 2016-12-15 13:36:22 +0500 #48

It seems so in pictures ........ because of the car being in varying lighting / shade .......... its not like this actually and the color matching job done by Honda is perfect ...........

Thank you so much

I too prefer US Modulo Kit ............ it balances the car well

Today's DIY: Leather Stitched Steering Cover

Ever since I got this Civic X - I missed the leather stitched steering .......... that was there in my Grande and that I had installed in by Civic - 9thgen .......... it's a real pity that Atlas chose to save a few hundred rupees from a 3M car .......... and on such thing like a steering that you come in contact all the time you drive the car..........

It was hard to source a sober looking product ...... but I finally got one after waiting for months ........ installed it today ........... since I'm not a pro ............ I did an okay job ........... I will give it 8 out of 10 ........ but the feel of the steering is worth every minute spent on fixing it

What a beast. Very nicely modded. And the leather stitched steering is perfect. MashAllah
So how's your experience going so far with civic turbo? Have you faced any knocking issues?

Where did you get that steering wheel cover from or rather where did you get it installed from?

r.jay.s (r.jay.s) 2017-03-19 21:05:17 +0500 #55

Thanks for liking the car and the modifications ............ I'm loving the every day of using this car .......... feels good ........... I face knocking issue couple of times .......... only when I used (then) CALTEX fuel once .............. I'm regularly using Shell and Atock Oil...........and no issues since then...........

r.jay.s (r.jay.s) 2017-03-19 21:08:30 +0500 #56

This is DIY...........I imported it from China (through Ali-express) and stiched it myself.......I had previously done the same with my 9th gen so it was little easier this time..........however........not perfect though.........but usable.........

Congrats brother on getting this mean beast! Nice mods you got done.

I want to know about the build issues that people have been talking about here on pakwheels. Also tell me about the turbo. Knocking, performance, mileage, etc.

Thanks.

jklodhi (jklodhi) 2018-10-01 17:23:41 +0500 #58

Dear there are no build issue

No knocking. It is fuel sensitive but regular can be used easily without any issue

Excellent mileage 17+

Superb performance which no local car can match

muhammadroshaanahmad (Roshaan Ahmad) 2018-10-01 17:38:59 +0500 #59

A bundle of thanks. Really appreciate your reply. I've been reading those build and knocking issue comments on pakwheels and other places and was it was a disappointment for me form Honda. Now that's dealt with

17 plus milage is great. I think there is a misunderstanding in our country. What I think is that a 1.5L turbo engine will be more fuel efficient if driven politely and less fuel efficient but more powerful if driven aggressively as compared to a 1.8L engine. (I may be wrong).

True that’s the advantage of 1.5 Turbo
