I got PP material bodykit too by end of the month, around RM1.8K est...

All include paintjob and installation, with LED too.
P/S: To all Insight bros who supported me and recommended their friends, I am hereby announcing I will be continuing to offer car mat at the same price.
Thanks...

My gf (insight) & myself (city 5G) are looking to install LED on headlamp & footlamp. Will you able to provide?

Meanwhile, how much of the car mat?

anyone fitted daytime running LED lights (white) to their Insight? I saw one being fitted to a Merc today.

No need drill holes... the LED lights strip just need to 'clamp' on the bottom front grille area.... quite nice... (pity i didn't take a photo show u guys).

Got such thing as a LED lamp clamp?

Interesting..... Hope I have a chance to view it drool.gif

Hypermilling tips when you run using autocruise;

Try to reduce blue zone/maintain green zone at incline by inching down on the set speed using Decel/SET button. The car will obviously slows down getting up the hill, depending on the degree of incline.

When the car going downhill, press Accel/RES button to extend the green zone and speed up the car. By then will got enough momentum for the next slope.

More green zone, better mileage. In the meantime your legs are still rest free.

Quite exciting. Like playing game using joystick. Have a try.

Sound interesting. Will try it when get the insight rclxms.gif

I know one supplier, who is selling in reasonable price for those original stuffs which located at PJ. Previously I brought Illuminated Side Step for my CITY from him. I noticed that the trunk mat price also very competitive. If you interested, perhaps I can find the contact for you.

I last checked my Insight tire pressure and it was around the recommended pressure..(slightly lower) not over inflated like yours
*
Did you try to filling tyre with nitrogen? Below is the advantages of using this which I've took from web: -

- Nitrogen reduces the running temperature of the tyre. The moisture content of nitrogen leads to a cooler running tyre, which is advantageous when the car is operating at its maximum load and speed capacity.

- Nitrogen in tyres improves the ride quality. That gas is very slightly lighter than air and thus, benefits the tires in terms of un-sprung weight. It is assumed that Nitrogen increases tyre life. It reduces the operating temperature during times of load and speed and thus, enhances the life of a tyre.

- It is believed that nitrogen keeps tyre pressures more constant. The gas is assumed to provide more stable pressure range in connection to the tyre temperature. However, again, the factor is applicable in times of heavy load/high-speed conditions.

- Tyres are susceptible to loss of pressure as a result of being porous in nature. Due to its chemical structure, Nitrogen leak out slowly as compared to compressed air. Therefore, it slows the rate of pressure loss.

- Oxygen reacts with the tyre and rim materials causing oxidation or the rust formation in the metal parts. Nitrogen, being an inert gas, does not react with the tyre and rim materials.

I have been using this from my first ride until now, more than 5 years. No issue and I really enjoy it.

Usually for normal air, you might need to refill at least once/ twice per month. While for nitrogen gas, just refill after 3 to 4 months.

My gf insight will arrive soon so I will send for release all normal air then fill-in nitrogen as well.

where do you get nitrogen gas to fill tyres? am sure most 'normal' shops won't have it...

Yes, you're right. There is one shop with this service located at Desa Pandan, KL. However, I usually go to my frined's shop located at northern region due to I back to my howntown once a month.

also, if you decide to go outside accessories shop per his recommendation to add on more stuff to your car, then i'm sure he will get a small comm also from them.

totally agree...when parts & maintenance are cheaper, there will be more buying demand which would subsequently boost up the resale value..

i had just met an car accident on my insight ytd... vmad.gif due to the stupid faulty traffic light..
my bumper was dented...went to honda service center and consult the service advisor
was being told that bumper replacement would simply cost above 2k and the lead time for shipping is unknown (could take up to 1-2 months)...luckily, the advisor said that there is no crack (CBU made bumpers were tough) and the dented part would be easily being repaired by knocking and respraying the paint which would cost roughly RM 550

if there is no local assemble parts, i think the future resale value of this car would be very low..
if you are the 2nd hand buyer, would you want to get through such a hassle for parts replacement? not to mention that the price for the spare parts are neither decent ...
*
Huh, only knock & spray cost about RM 550!!!!. Do you want to find other alternative? I can recommend one workshop, the price is competitive and nice job after done coz i've sent my CITY for repair last time.

thanks for your offer...but then, i'm afraid other car workshop may not have the right painting for my pearl white (according to the service advisor, this is the most expensive metalic color for honda model)...besides that, the advisor said that it voids certain parts of the car warranty if it is being repaired by non honda authorized workshop...didn't have much alternatives, so i just swallow the cost..


Added on April 19, 2011, 4:46 pm

yes..understandable the parts are extraordinarily expensive because these parts are ordered and shipped from japan  rclxub.gif
