Not liking my HR-V :(   Message List

Re: [Honda HRV] Not liking my HR-V :(

Hi Ebrahim,

Although your reply was not directly addressed to me, I'd like to give you my thanks.  I learned something first hand that I can give a thought whether or not to apply in my car.

I didn't even know that you can change some computer chips.

Hey man,,,

I have chosen special wheel for the HR-V, they are extra lightweight..
they are expansive, but they are light and ok for the car...

i have no problems with acceleration, its still responds well with these big
wheels.
The Honda Service Manager was worried that it will affect the car, but when
he
removed one wheel, he was amazed how it was light is weight.

his comments was, now we saw a small Honda that have wheels Bigger than the
Honda NSX !!!

I have been driving on these wheels for 200,000km and not a single problem.

The only Problems were the turning radius is reduces when i turn to the
right direction, i have made some
modification in the inner fender, and no problem since..,

as for computer chips, try with www.mugen-power.com

Hope this helps...
 
Regards..

Hi Ebrahim,

I like ur HRV like everyone else. But i am just
curious, to know, with the kind of wheels u have put
on ur car, how does ur HRV respond in terms of
accleration and general handling. Doesn't ur HRV feel
a bit heavy with these wheels. I would love to have
those wheels on my HRV, but my only concern is slow
accleration. Do you know of any computer chips which
can be fitted in the HRV, to increase bhp/torque?

Looking forward to ur comments.

Thanks.
