guess no one is daring to do this as of now?

it's not a good idea to have a rear wing installed on the insight, it reduces rear visibility even more.

take out n put in your pocket bfore u leave ur insight bro....hehe
pick up mine yesterday...

still felt awkward about the jerkyness feeling with the "Auto Stop" function while driving....if you are in SLOPE situation, or traffic jamm on the hills, felt 'traumatised' it will hit other car on our back once released the brake pedal...

auto stop, cannot disable meh?  whistling.gif
*
Best thing to do to avoid auto-stop is to set your gear to P or Neutral

irwan,

if not in ECON mode also still have Auto Stop Function bro.

only in Neutral or P dont have..

I think maybe the Creep Aid System not that good to hold the interval..i dunno...this week still experimenting...  laugh.gif
*
even in normal mode, my experience is that the autp-stop function still works, but less frequently

Loaded ron97 as my first tank of petrol for my new insight..seems like this would also be the last time too

Ron95 works great on Insight. I dont think you need to use ron97 because there is no added benefit unless you're using a perfomance-oriented car

I'm curious about this.

Do fuel economy oriented hybrids like the Insight and Prius actually benefit from using higher octane fuel like RON97 compared to RON95?

I would have thought that the higher octane fuels were more for performance oriented cars?

Would appreciate some clarification.
*
As a general rule of thumb, petrols under ron97 are mainly developed for engines that only support ron97, hence 97% gasoline. Honda Insight runs on ron95 and it's capable of burning only 95% gasonline. Hence and running your engine on 97 doesnt really improve performance on the Insight. I've loaded the insight with V-power and km/l dropped so much.

I'm pretty sure this will void warranty as the DVD player and DIN player is not from Honda Malaysia. Anything add-on which involve wiring would void warranty. Just my 2 cents.
*
My SA says that you can unplug and plug any player into the din sockets as long as there are no cables cut. Extensions of cables are allowed otherwise there's not way you can add a rear camera

Anyone know where to get the mugen bodykit for the insight? thanks.
*
Actually you can go to body kit shops and ask them to replicate them. Just need to show them the specs or pictures. It will normally cost less than the original parts

bro,

ECON: ON or OFF?

The only way you can get this kind of mileage is on driving on the highway most of the time..

oh ya..forgot to mention..mine was with Esso RON 97  biggrin.gif
Not sure if I have remembered correctly, someone in this forum actually mentions that the spare fuel would have approximately 8 litre after the range displayed on the MID turns 0.
anyone can help to confirm on this one?
*
it's 6.9 litres. just multiply your mileage xxkm/litre with the spare tank capacity (6.9) and you get roughly the distance left after your range hits 0

I got reply from honda malaysia.

warranty will be void if use non original honda parts and accessories, so HID is a big no no for now, if change eibach lower spring, rims, anything related to suspension the warranty is void.
*
accessories too? that's pretty unfair..Accessories can cover MANY things. Even a door guard is one of accessories. So if you stick a door guard, it will void warranty?
