If the car has not hit any bump the axle or rim should not be the reason

Spano (Ehtesham Bokhari) 2014-10-10 13:08:48 +0500 #782

Another thing. It will be better after 2 to 3 thousand kilometers by it self.

It has gone into a hard bump or two but. I doubt if those would have cause any issue in rim or axle. The car has never been hit on the underside. Btw if there is issue in the tyres, wouldn't it show up while balancing? I mean I did balance twice

AsFand26 (AsFand26) 2014-10-10 13:11:56 +0500 #784

Maybe its cause I have mounted 205 tyres on 6.5j alloys. Its a bit oversized, not too much though. The vibration is very slight though

Spano (Ehtesham Bokhari) 2014-10-10 14:10:17 +0500 #785

You are right. Your rims are 6J not 6.5

Spano (Ehtesham Bokhari) 2014-10-10 14:10:38 +0500 #786

I tell you it will be fine after two to three thousand kilometers

AsFand26 (AsFand26) 2014-10-10 14:50:52 +0500 #787

@spano
you are right. The rims are 6j. My bad. Btw they might get better after driving 2-3k kms. The question is that how much time will it take for my car to cover that kinda mileage lol
I bought it in feb 2014, still at 5900. changed the oil twice though along with other maintenance.

Guys
slight issue with my car.....dunno if it's an issue or normal behaviour cause its been months since I have travelled on motorway.
So i got my car's tyres changed to advan db 205/65/15. Now at speeds above 125, the car vibrates slightly. Its like if you lie against the back of the seat, its a slight massage type vibration. Felt on motorway while going to peshawar from isbd. No issue with balance as I did balance from honda and from a good place in pesh again. Its fine. The steering does not vibrate at all nor does anything else. If you look at the passenger seat back, it is vibrating constantly. Also if there is a shopping bag lying on the seat, it is vibrating constantly too. Dunno if its the road or the tyres. The tyres are fine too. As far as I remember correctly, it didn't do that on eurostars.

@asfand26,

Bro I had same problem with my 7th Gen and after alot of investigation I came to know that balancing was not done properly by last 3 places, famous of town (Never tried Honda3S). Wheel & Wheels I-9 Chowk Islbd found incorrect balancing and did again and after that problem completely vanished. You can give a try by checking with them.
Is it happening all the way between Islamabad and Peshawar? As M2 between Islamabad and Balkassar, some places all cars starts vibrating due to road, you change lane and vibrations disappear or they will go after few kilometers.

bhasnain (Baqir Hasnain) 2014-10-11 00:47:58 +0500 #789

205 on 6J are just at border of its limit but still fine and should not cause vibrations.

AsFand26 (AsFand26) 2014-10-11 01:31:40 +0500 #790

Well, just for the sake of peace of mind, I ll get the balancing done from the mentioned shop.
Thank you for the guidance

2015 is what ive heard.

Bilalicious (Bilalicious) 2014-10-11 09:13:55 +0500 #793

I doubt it will be launched in PK. Lets see...

bhasnain (Baqir Hasnain) 2014-10-11 11:01:32 +0500 #794

Civic & City will not be launched together.

Yesterday night while coming from lahore I first time tested my car on slow speed at 85 I drove it for 30 minutes to check how much average will exceed. It touched 19km/l , i realise if I drive it at 80 it will definitely touch 20km/ l

hanzla (hanzla) 2014-10-11 12:35:52 +0500 #796

From my home to islamabad at 80km/h with cruise control.

I don't think any facelift in civic is going to be introduced, well atleast before the end of 2015 because they have just released the new key and navigation. If there was a new update around the corner they would have released everything together.

A few questions and confusions.

1-What tyre size and brand would be comfortable, noise-less and grippy all at the same time? I'm probably going to change the tyres after a couple of weeks from the delivery date. Also is it just me or does the width of the stock tyres from the back look too thin? Also I will be sticking to the OEM rims for the time being. I was thinking maybe Yokohoama Advan DB's, Michellin XM2 or Continentals? Any good shops in Pindi/Islamabad? A friend paid 23k and his stock eurostars for some Michellin tyres, don't exactly remember the model, so I think that's pretty reasonable.

2- The new navigation system has had some really bad reviews on PW especially about the lagging. Now to be specific does the system lag whilst playing video's and when the navigation is playing? Also I've read on PW that it takes about 40 seconds for the reverse cam to come up? That's way too long. Is it worth purchasing the new navigation system now?

3- I was thinking about Urban Titanium, the colour looks amazing to me, do you think it will be hard to maintain like the black cars?

4- What would the registration costs be in Islamabad for a fully loaded Oriel Prosmatec UG+nav+utility package+4 year extended warraanty? Registration costs are usually calculated by the invoice. Does the invoice price include the leather and nav etc accessories too or is invoice price just the base price of an oriel Prosmate which is 23,74000?

I would appreciate any other suggestions and comments.

Bump. I really need some info on these issues especially the nav and registration ones.

1- stick to oem size 195/65/15. I'd just advan DBs.
2- Totally your call. I bought non satnav version and installed an aftermarket HU later on.
3- Lighter shades are easier to maintain. Dust is pronounced on darker ones.
4- No idea

Thanks for the reply, Is there anything wrong in getting 205 tyres? Will I be facing noise and vibration issues?
If anyone else can comment on the registration issue that would be very helpful too.
