Thats good BTW what average are you getting per litre of petrol in city and on highway

Around 14 in city and around 17-18 on highway.. Engine in perfect condition.. Never had a suspension problem...

Around 14 in city and around 17-18 on highway.. Engine in perfect condition.. Never had a suspension problem...

Thats with AC or without AC and in which area of city do you live. I have got the following readings thats when I calculated its mileage on petrol ever. Mine gives around 13 with AC on and car fully loaded and driven at 4000+ rpm on long in city I think thats around 11 with AC on but I live in a conjusted area so naturally cant get a good reading in city. Without AC I think I can manage around 15 on long and around 13 in city but the vehicle loaded with 5 persons and lugguage and CNG cylinder.

ahmad bhai, the compound polish u used to shine ur silver panels of ur blingyy, can I know what it was and where can i get some??

yar its the ordinary compound used by denters etc to "compound" a car. i got it from a friend (and a pw member) in sargodha, u can get that made from any good paint shop (car paint). they mix some chemicals to make u, shud cost u hardly 50-100rs for a small quantity which shud be enough for even the whole body of ur car, let alone the silver panels alone...

P.S. Your avatars are always interesting

okay guys so in a month or less time, im gonna get some tires for my cars. havent checked the markets for brands/models available and their price... i'd be getting 185/65/r14 sized tires and im more inclined towards yokohama. though im not sure exactly which yokos are available these days, A drives or S drives or any other, so anyone who recently went into this tire research please share ur views and recommend some nice tires... my prioritys are..

1) Long life (with so much mileage, that has to be)
2) comfort
3) Soft and grippy

a friend got michlen enery saver tires in his se saloon, he paid 8500rs/tire and he claims that it actually saves fuel... i dont see how can a tire save fuel but he says it does and hes also recommending me to get these tires. michelen is highly prestigeous brand, i know that, but is this "enery saving" thing real? the only way i can see that tires wud save energy is by reducing the surface area of the tire, less surface areas = less grip = less stress on the engine = less fuel needed

or am i deriving a wrong equation?

I got 185/65/R14 for my i-DSi back in 2010. I opted for Yokohama C-drives. I had the choice of going for Michelin's Energy Saver, but i felt it to b a little on a slight harder side as compared to the Yoko's C-Drive. Also, back then i was getting Energy saver for 5200/tire and C-drive for 4300/tire.
I am glad i opted for Yoko's C-drive. I have driven them 23K uptil, and Allhamdoullillah, they are still as good as new. I didn't feel any significant difference in the consumption as compared to my original Generals.
Btw, i came to the conclusion of Michelin being slightly hard as compared to Yoko by driving and not just by merely looking.
My suggestions to you are that either go for Yoko's DNA dB or C-drives.
Do not go for A-drives. they are ok, but not as good as either energy saver or C-drives.

@AK471
Welcome to the thread bro... glad to have u here...
Bro i quietly followed ur 1.6l altis thread for some time and i loved the way u put each n everything with soooo much enthusiasm. Im not a really big corolla fan but ur thread made me respect the 1.6l more then all other corollas... infact it made me change my mind about toyota guys switching to 1.6l from 1.8l as their top of the range corolla.
But i was shocked to see that it got stolen one day and the tracker guys couldnt even locate it
anyways, its time u have to decide which car to buy now... well, i'd like to talk about 2 things here.

First, did u check the new civic out? i mean, it does not look very promising , the shape is just like a stretched new city. if u like it, well n good, u can wait for it but if u dont like it, better get the current one! its always better to have the "better" car then to have the "latest" car. atleast thats what i believe.

The second option that u might want to look at is JDM import cars... how about toyota premio? or may be even an accord CL7 if u feel comfortable with having a larger car. Top end pakistani cars like civic and corolla are good but they dont stand a chance against their japanese counterparts. The quality if a JDM car is just excellent... what do u think?

as for city, after having a larger class car (i.e. new corolla) im not sure if u'd really like driving a smaller car. it also lacks some of the features that ur 1.6l altis had. plus, if u buy a city and drive it for a while n then sell it in case u wanna go for new civic when its launched, u're looking at a good 100,000 rs loss... so, make an informed decision, its better to buy a car that u want to live with in the long term, then to get a brand new car for a short while and then bearing loss on it...

Cheers...

hmmm... yokohama is the brand i might settle for in the end.im a yoko fan for a long time now... but is C drive really available now? wasnt it the first XYZ-DRIVE model of yoko? i thought its already discontinued !!! i'd try to get some time out and visit the local tire market tomorrow. will get price for C drive and yoko DB... a friend has DB in all his cars and is 100% satisfied.... thanks for suggestion. any idea about the price of any of them?

[devilz_apprentice]

a rough idea is that C drive will cost u around 7K and dB around 7800K

please dont mind, but shudnt detailing of cars be part of the Detailing Dreams thread ?? cause due to large nno of pics here on city page, i find it difficult to look for something useful i m looking for cause of the pics coming infront again and again as ppl quote it and reply, thereby making the pictures appear repeatedly. just a food for thought. apologies if i hurt someone

Honda City 2004's Monos,Brakes Callipers, Brake Rotors centre parts and rear drums painted to Red.
Things needed along with the car tool kit. sand paper :1 , spray paint: 1-2

Painting Brake callipers etc.
1. lift the car.
2. remove the tyres.
3. wash the callipers, after drying remove the rust dirt etc with sand paper.
4. clean any grease, oil or dust with clean cloth.
5. cover the shocks or the other parts with cloth carefully to avoid paint.
6. Spray the paint(7cf or english paint sprays easily availible in market price 120-150) from the distanse of about one foot. for better results make three to four thin coats. done wait for a while then fit the tyres back.

Painting the Mono:
1. open the trunk remove the two nuts on both ends of the rear trunk streamer of your car from inside the trunk
2. gently unclip three clips of streamer. take out the steamer.
3. there are two round clip locks behind the mono on the steramer remove them gently because you can break it if much force applied.
4. there is a black lid behind the mono paint it
5. get every thing fixed.

NOTE: when i finished the Job. and idea clicked into my mind that why i painted the mono. i should have pasted the red reflector sticker sort of thing on it. it might look great when light reflects from it. But next time will try it.

[KLINCH]

i 100% agree with you. this thread has valuable info regarding almost all the issues a city could have.. but people post pics of detailing and den other people give comments on their posts makes it extremely difficult to find the correct page contain guidance of specific problem.
ofcourse i didnt mean to hurt any1... i have read other threads in pw.. they r not pics heavy... specially balenomaster thread.. such technical info could not be found anywhere else on net.

ummm hummm...some new rubber for 1451. well, as you are inclined towards YOKO, I'll suggest yoko as well.

Previously, as u may now, I had c drives on my car. But I had a really really bad experience with them as beads appeared on their sidewalls after about 25K of use.

Now, I have yoko advan dB v551 on both cars. its super silent, super grippy and super soft as per my experience with all the tyres.

Got Yoko dBs (not advan dB) in 205/65/R15 for my mamoon's Altis 09 last week.

Cost 8000 per tyre from pindi saddar. don't know abt performance as not used yet.

Don't go for A-drive. Its hard as rock.

U can check out the new C-drive 2. its about 9k for 15", may be less for 14".

my suggestion for u will be advan dB v551. Its around 8.5k for a 15", for 14" it should be bit less.

However, only choose a tyre after u have done a good research. :)
