Accord CP1

Hi all bros,
Just bought a second hand CP1 and noticed that the vibration is rather bad at idling and it gets worse when the compressor cuts in. I know there are quite a few threads on this issue but seems that no one can really have a solution to it. Kah motor told me the vibration is there but is within bearable limits and that the honda engineers from tom yum land are aware of it. So I can conclude that the engineers themselves also got no solution except to say that the vibration is acceptable. How to be acceptable when we are the ones driving and not them. One more thing mentioned is the pivot throttle controller. Will installing this device solve this problem? How much is it? Is it cheaper to install in Singapore or malaysia? TQ TQ

So any solution? I also experience this vibrating problem.

Also anyone experience a humming noise from engine when accelerating slowly? Is it normal? The noise not that loud but noticeable loh.

Yes, there is also this humming sound but i'm not too bothered by it but the vibration is. I just sent my car to kah motor for my 50k service and i noticed that the idling rpm now is about 600. I think it's kinda low. Was told it's normal and cannot be adjusted up as since it is e throttle, everything is controlled by the ecu.

So the vibration still there after servicing?
I just went to UBI service center, the guy say the humming noise is observe and need to send to workshop to check, for vibration need to use the machine to test also, so need to book appointment...

you looking at putting any accessories like bodykit? i think the air master bodykits looks very nice. does your car come with foglights in the front bumper? mine doesn't. i'm looking at putting on a pair. Makes the car look more complete.

yea mine didnt come with any bodykit. no foglight too.
thinking of changing the grille and add a ducktail spoiler. 380+391(include spray) and labour charge ard 80 per set.

Any bro know where to get cheaper alternative?
Not sure wanna do the auto close side window device anot, alway forget to close it, haha.

i believe JB is cheaper when it comes to bodykit. I was told a set of modulo bodykit is around RM1500. Of course not original one la. Just curious when and how much you bought your cp1?

I got a replied from airmaster,

Honda Accord 08 body kit is RM2800, include 4 parts, spraying included and installation free if bring dw their factory.
Is the RM1500 bodykit that u mention the same as above?

RM1500 is not air master but modulo bodykit. RM2800 is rather costly but still much cheaper than Kah Motor though.

Hi all bros driving CP1. I had made a discovery. I test drove a new Malaysian assembled CP1 and there is no such vibration like what we experienced on ours. Super smooth, quiet and totally vibration free. Could this vibration problem happen only on the Thai made ones like ours?
