Team ES Photo Shoot 2009@Putrajaya

As featured in Extremekars Magazine (issue March 09):

What better way to get better acquainted between old and new members of a car club for a new year than having an annual photo shoot, and that is just what Team ES Malaysia did on the 1^st of January 2009. This 2^nd session, the first being in April 2006, was held at Putrajaya, Selangor.

The event was organized by Fendi “nick:  Spoon”, the Vice President of Team ES Malaysia and Christopher Lai, the Moderator for the club. Sponsoring the event was ET Tyre & Service, the official workshop for Team ES central region.

The start of the event saw members gathering at the Puchong Selatan Shell station, after which they proceeded in a convoy to their destination. Besides members from the Central region, present were also those from Pahang, Terengganu and Johor , bringing the total turn-out of cars to an estimated 40 units.

Upon arrival at Putrajaya, a total of 2 hours was needed just to get the car ‘organized’ for the photo session!  As mentioned, besides the photo session members were also given the opportunity to catch-up with old friends, introduced to new and as a norm, the chance for an ‘inspection’ of each other ride.

According to Christopher other up-coming event for the club will be the Team ES 2009 Mega Outing and Team ES Anniversary Dinner. Besides major event/gathering, Team ES also have regular TT session every alternate Friday at Damansara.

Enjoy the show!

Car Speed Calculator

To calculate the speed of any car, we need these variables;

1. all the gear ratios of the car’s gearbox

2. the final ratio of the same gearbox

3. the original tyre size

Then we need the formula to put all the figures together and calculate.

Below is the example to calculate the speed for the Civic ES;

The gearbox mated with the D17A2 engine has the following gear ratio;

1st – 2.722, 2nd- 1.468, 3rd- 0.975, 4th- 0.674

Final ratio- 4.067

The formula is, Vh = Ct x Ve x 60/Gr x Fr/1000, where

Vh- vehicle speed in kmh

Ct- tyre circumference in metres

Ve- engine speed in rpm- revolution per minute

60- since we are calculating the speed per hour, we have to multiply by 60 (60min= 1hour)

Gr- gear ratio

Fr- final ratio

For the Civic ES 1.7L, the standard tyre is 195/60/15. With this size, Ct works out to be = 1.93 metres.
(if you don’t know how to calculate this, please tell me)

So in 4th gear, the vehicle speed at 3000rpm is,

Vh = 1.93 x 3000 x 60 / 0.674 x 4.067 / 1000 = 126.78 kmh

Team ES Malaysia Founded!

About Team ES Malaysia

Brief history of the club, founded on April 2005 and currently have hundreds registered members in our forum. Team ES Malaysia is founded by a group of passionate Honda Civic ES owners where they met each others in Zerotohundred.com forum. After their first TT in Subang, they decided to start their own forum since they already have more than 20 active members in the threads everyday. After the voting of the domain name, they decided to pick www.teames.org (but now changed to www.myteames.com) as their own domain.

In less than 3 months time, Team ES managed to have 100 registered members come from anywhere in Malaysia. From Northern to Southern, East Coast and even East Malaysia. So far, Team ES Malaysia has organized more than a few monthly official TT (Teh Tarik) sessions in Klang Valley.

Since all of their members are young and energetic, more happening events are expected in the upcoming plan.

For those who are interested to join the club, please feel free to register at www.myteames.com/forum or you can contact :

Honda Civic History

First Generation (1972)
Following the original two-door and three-door Civic models, the Company expanded its lineup with the Hondamatic (variable-speed automatic) and Civic CVCC in 1973. These were complemented in 1974 by the sporty Civic RS, with a twin-cab engine, and the Civic Van, a practical, commercial-use vehicle. For three consecutive years—from 1972 to 1974—Civic was awarded “Car of the Year Japan.“ Overseas, as well, the Civic CVCC earned high acclaim in the United States. In 1973, the Civic ranked third in Europe’s “Car of the Year” awards—the highest ranking for a Japanese vehicle at that time. It also took the top prize among imported vehicles in the U.S. Road Test magazine’s “1974 Car of the Year.”

Second Generation (1979)
Seeking to create a “high-quality car representing 1980s values,” Honda implemented the first full model change of the Civic in seven years, resulting in enhanced economy, interior comfort and driving performance. This led to the development in 1980 of the CVCC-II engine, which delivered improved combustion efficiency. In 1981, Honda rolled out the Civic Country station wagon and the Civic 4-Door Sedan, featuring a Hondamatic transmission with overhead drive, front-wheel drive and notchback styling. The new Civic received the “U.S. Import Car of the Year 1980” award from Motor Trend Magazine.

Third Generation (1983)
The concept for the third-generation Civic was “maximum space for people, minimum space for mechanisms.” Based on this concept, Honda developed three-, four- and five-door variations of the Civic—a three-door hatchback and four-door sedan, as well as a five-door shuttle offering superior utility space. In 1984, the Company unveiled the Civic Si, featuring a DOHC engine incorporating Formula 1 technologies. It was instantly popular thanks to its innovative, long-roofed design, and won the “Car of the Year Japan” award in 1984. In the United States, the Civic placed first in fuel efficiency tests conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1984 for the second consecutive year. In Europe, it won the “Torino-Piedmonte Car Design Award 1984.”

Fourth Generation (1987)
Developers of the fourth-generation Civic emphasized “exhilarating performance based on human sensitivities.” Targeting higher efficiency, Honda created its Hyper 16-valve engine in five variations, from 1,300cc to 1,500cc. Combined with a four-wheel double wishbone suspension, the result was everything a person could want in a car. In 1989, the Company unveiled the Civic SiR, equipped with its high-performance DOHC VTEC engine, featuring Honda’s revolutionary variable valve timing technology. That model received the “Golden Steering Wheel Award” from Bild am Sonntag, a German newspaper. It also ranked first according to a 1989 survey about car quality and reliability conducted by France’s L’Automobile Magazine.

Fifth Generation (1991)
The most striking feature of the fifth-generation Civic was it futuristic aerodynamic form, with flexible interior space to suit the specific requirements of young people. The new series also heralded the arrival of new VTEC engine variations to provide an excellent mix of driving performance and high fuel efficiency. These included the 170-horsepower DOHC VTEC, the ultrahigh fuel efficiency VTEC-E and a high-balance VTEC. The new cars represented a major advancement in human and environmental friendliness, with enhanced safety features and a high proportion of recyclable components. The fifth-generation Civic received “Car of the Year Japan” awards in 1991 and 1992.

Sixth Generation (1995)
Transcending its traditional “car for the masses” appeal, the sixth-generation Civic sought to become a vehicle that represents the times from a global perspective. It incorporated a range of new technologies to satisfy strong demand for high performance, safety and low emissions. These included the 3-stage VTEC engine, boasting high output and high fuel efficiency and Honda Multimatic, a next-generation, variable-speed automatic transmission. Consequently, the Civic received “Car of the Year Japan” awards in 1995 and 1996.

Seventh Generation (2000)
The seventh-generation Civic was developed as the “benchmark for compact cars,” satisfying all important criteria, with maximum cabin space, superlative economy and smooth ride, and unparalleled safety for occupants and pedestrians. The interior space was made more comfortable based on a low, flat-floor design enabling occupants to easily move between front and rear seats. Due to Honda’s G-CON collision safety technology, the seventh-generation Civic has met the highest safety standards, winning “Car of the Year Japan” awards in 2001 and 2002.
