QUOTE(watonk @ May 12 2011, 10:22 PM) My update. As i calculate the fuel consumption, i found that the onboard FC computer is not bad and quite accurate. My last average FC before refuel was 18.9km/l (displayed in MID). I refuel early this time, before the indicator blinks and about quarter needle before empty. Already traveled 560km. Paid rm55.80 full tank = 29.37 liters. It works out 19.06km/l. Not bad at all considering that tank I speed up the car to 160-180km/h all the way from pagoh to ayer hitam, plus fetch my wife daily (short trip), plus jam in KL last weekend (federal highway friday afternoon). Current tank i able to maintain average 22km/l so far. My target after 2nd service, i should be able to achieve 25km/l average. Hypermiling is fun. Fun yet tiring lol! |

QUOTE(icepixes @ May 13 2011, 07:02 AM) Josh, mind sharing which area. Not all SC provide that. Well, not in Terengganu as I was told.. I went to Shah Alam service center. He mentioned is standard for all Honda Insight to changed semi oil instead of mineral. |

U can use claybar to remove it, if it's too stubborn, u may need scratch remover/polish. U can try this  This post has been edited by joshuawong: May 13 2011, 04:43 PM |

Where got JPJ compliance install HID. If u got flagged with the problem installing HID, they will issue u a summons for modification on light which doesnt come OEM with the car. No way it's JPJ approve unless u send ur car to Puspakom and let them approve it. Else, the shop just lie to u.

QUOTE(mardzi @ May 15 2011, 04:58 PM) walaweh.. not fair leh steadypana. i never got leaf from you before...
Added on May 15, 2011, 5:11 pmthe beta package lighting are link together with your front light. if you start the car or open the door nothing will happen unless you switch on the front light. the bad site of the lighting is on the passenger and driver side is a bit dim compare to the middle lighting. Problem is there is a light socket intact to our dashboard and when they put the light at the socket, i feel the height and the angle is somehow something wrong. Too high position and did not light the floor but more inside the dashboard. anyway different people have different idea about it. mine, i am not satisfied with the OEM beta lighting.. Can u take photo where the light actually connected to? I have the intention to DIY but dun wan to void warranty. My previous Myvi n Vios I also DIY with LED. If know the sources of power maybe I can have a DIY session for all Insight member to install footlights in cheaper cheaper cost.  |

The 3.5K mugen is an imitation of the original, as told by te seller himself Yeah! The seller himself aka Jason said he bought from Japan and mold it and that's the reason the price is expensive and hard to find.  This post has been edited by joshuawong: May 20 2011, 10:20 AM |

Just had another DIY after the blue background Honda Emblem. This time I've changed the rear plate light to super bright LED. Bought those commercial use super bright LED and the brightness is so bright till the floor also can see.   Cost? Dirt cheap than you buy those branded Philip white LED/Bulb. |
