Kaki motor is next to the car wash and next to it ST wangan same row.. But Hyper racing is basically behind the car wash next to the Kin Tyre shop.. The row behind it.. Not next to it.. Why not just drive around Sunway near that area you'll find it bro..
 
gonna head there this weekend to check out engine oils. i just realized the sticker on my windscreen says the last service was 05/02/10...means the engine oil...even though new....has been sitting for more than 3 months...ughh..no wonder engine feels retarded.
 
hello, another new owner here - DC5R Facelift, championship white, woot!

am busy reading all your write-ups *phew*

and yes, john is really helpful, poor fellow suffering from backache recently.. :biggrin:
 
Sorry to disturb your thread. My name is Sue. Am planning on getting a Honda DC5 Type-S (Auto Transmission). I would like to ask a few questions before deciding on purchasing one.

1. Are the spare parts a hassle to get, if something happens to the car?
2. How much is the road tax?
3. How bout maintainace (servicing, etc)? *THIS IS THE MOST CRUCIAL ASPECT*


P.S: I'm just looking for a simple one as I'm not the kinda hardcore driver. Just a DC5 for cruising. I plan to test drive the car this weekend. If anyone has any info on where I can get my hands on test driving the car or answers to my questions, your reply will be much appreciated. I already have a few places to test drive, but more info will be a great deal of help. THIS IS GONA BE MY CAR FOR DAILY DRIVE.

THANKS ALOT. =)

hi welcome to DC5R forum

DC5 Type S is quite difficult to come by...based on my observation (i do not have any data to back up this) there are more type r than type s in Malaysia. so i would assume the spare parts may pose you a problem. having said that maybe other parts from honda other model such as civic ej can be used in the type s? i dun know you have to do some research on this.

maintenance is up to you really. it can be expensive if you prefer to use high graded oil for your engine, gear box etc.
 
welcome welcome!

1. Are the spare parts a hassle to get, if something happens to the car?
- it's a Honda. parts wont be that hard to find unless its something very specific to the Type-S. General parts like alternators, power windows, etc... i dont think will be a problem

2. How much is the road tax?
- road tax runs about RM350+ if i remember correct. not expensive because its only a 2litre car.

3. How bout maintainace (servicing, etc)? *THIS IS THE MOST CRUCIAL ASPECT*
- like subcon said... it really depends on what type of parts/oils you use. it could run anywhere from RM250 - RM450...
 
The things is I dont wana get a type R coz I dont need such a hardcore car...Im contented with an Auto...
