Have been driving for 2 months already lor, consider slow. I travel 70-100km per days.

considered very high mileage already, because 3 mths or 5k mileage u need to do the 2nd free service already.

so if treat 5k is normal mileage for 3 mths. 2 months already hit 5k, considered quite high usage. shocking.gif

For tweeter you need:
1. Flathead screw driver (supplied: in your boot)
2. 8mm hex socket and suitable wrench
3. Small spectacle flathead screwdriver (0.5-1mm)
4. Wire tape
5. A pair of tweeter (usually comes with all the wiring)
6. Doubletape or superglue (to stick the tweeter onto the panel)
7. Clean cloth to cover dash surface during installation

First, to dimantle the HU, pikkashoe have shared the step by step instruction (thanks pikkashoe)
http://www.insightcentral.net/forums/modif...tock-radio.html

To dismantle the tweeter panel:

Using the flathead screwdriver, slot in the tip into the opening and pry open gently. You may need to twist the screwdriver all the way until the clip of the panel release.

Gently pull out the tweeter panel towards u. Attached here is my panel with the tweeter already in place.
Attached Image

Depending on the type and size of tweeter use, u can either attach them onto the panel using doubletape or few drops of super glue.

Insert the wiring from the panel hole towards the bottom of dash. Re-route the wire properly behind glovebox toward the HU slot.

Tap the audio signal based on this diagram:

Car Subwoofer Rear Speakers Depth: N/A
Car Subwoofer Rear Speakers Location: N/A
Left Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): Gray
Left Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): Brown
Right Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): Blue
Right Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): Orange

For the left tweeter, tap the audio signal from Light blue (+) and Gray (-) from the original harness.

Repeat the same procedures for the right tweeter. All the panel below steering column are removable and only attached by tabs and 1 screw tab if im not mistaken. Its important to properly route the tweeter wiring for the right tweeter to prevent it from dangling the steering shaft.

Right tweeter will tap audio from Blue (+) and Red (-) from the original harness.

To tap the audio signal, depending on your skill, u can split the wire (not recommended) or undo the pin from the connector (harder but neat). Tape the wires properly. Make sure no loose contact or worst, short circuit.

Put everything back in place and u are now can hear shattered glass sound better than before.

For improve bass effect, u can use something like this:
Attached Image

This type of active sub equipped with built in amp with gain, phase and frequency setting. Most of them now have wired remote bass control so u can increase or decrease bass level without the need to set your gain, again and again (coz different media source usually have different bass level).

U have to undo the font driver seat, get the harness all sorted out through the gear console panel (side) and tap the audio signal accordingly as the color code above using sub speaker/ high level input, from rear left and right (4 wires) behind the HU (same step as the tweeter above). Power for the active sub can be tapped either direct from battery or like me, easily tap from interior power socket. 120W limit for power socket should be enough to cover the sub consumption. Tune your gain, phase and frequency right.

All done. Get the HU back in place, reset everything. The difference in sound quality is night and day.

I just called Wegro and they said they might have to change the knuckle and some other parts if its really -0.8 rear right and -1.4 rear left. Under warranty of course. I will also get them to adjust the rear sensor, almost bang the other car last week.

Service adviser doesn't seem surprise that a one month old insight got this problem.

I suggest you guys go and check, otherwise your rear tyres will get bald very fast.

Always Caltex Techron.

It gives better mileage but not sure if it really cleans the engine, never open and test before.

Last time I used to test Esso, Petronas, Shell, Projet (worst of all) and Caltex. Caltex gives around 60 - 80km more per tank (70liters).

Caltex the best, it is the most powerful ron95. shell is just crap.

So far happy with the power of caltex ron95, FC wise caltex is ok but may not be very good maybe becos of the greater power it gives. tongue.gif

There is this SA from Honda Midah not giving car to customer A because he promised RM1,000 discount, but he gives car to other customer B who got no discount, and this customer B is friend of customer A.

Customer A booked car in Feb 2011. Customer B booked car in March 2011. Both order same color.

This SA told customer A to wait till November 2011.

u sure u want to use ron97 now? given rm1 difference per liter?

seriously i won't think it will be very significant difference if u use ron95 or ron97.

ron95 gives more reason to use it given the cost effectiveness. tongue.gif
