If you can maintain this kinda driving history, 600km per tank is 'kacang'.
[attachmentid=2375168]
Notice that my mileage already 450km @ fuel tank slightly below middle level.

Again, maximize your momentum (but dont crash into others back).

Hi folks,

My condenser was hit by a rock (on the north south highway - driving at ~110 kmh n god knows how). The gas leaked and now the ac not functioning. Took HM today and since it was natural 'disaster', its not covered by warranty. The condenser need to replaced and the quoted me MYR1842...excluding labor and etc.  Tried welding at a friends place, but due to its thin and fragile material, they failed to stop leakage after trying for 5 hrs

After googling, found out some US stores sells it in range of USD110-150. But am not sure if its ori. Shipping to Malaysia is another USD150. Its still cheap compared to price from HM, but am worried if :
a) Custom duty or etc authority problem
b) Specification diffs with US model since they have heater too and condenser could be different. - (although am novice but I doubt its different if I ask 2010 Insight model part)
c) Online deal overseas
d) Duration to deliver

E.g. http://www.klcpartsinc.com/Condensor-Condenser_30.html

Please advise or provide some suggestions. (Am exhausted after driving in puchong road in a hot day without AC) 

How much you have to pay for PPS coating?

From what i m reading, insight parts & maintaining this car is not cheap plus its not easy to maintain. Everytime must go to H SC which will take up time and will cost a bomb. 

My current car, the SC will come to pick up the car & deliver after service, H Wergo don't have this policy.

Has any owner service (normal service) this car outside authorised SC?

Does anyone know the theft rate (stolen rate) of the Insight? or is this a cold Honda?

just booked my insight last week (spur of the moment thing, walking pass honda showroom, go in look see look see, end up buy car  ), waiting for loan approval, if all goes well, next week will take delivery.

been reading v2, v3, where do i find v1 link?

noticed there are something that must be done upon delivery, aka autolock, PPS, tinting, adjust headlights, buy boot light. Haven't decided on the corba yet, however i will skip on skirting & leather seat. (out of the blue purchase, HM aka FM giving an earful  )

For tinting, is it okay to tint the black W/S black? Have any owners done black tinting? Thieves can easliy look into the boot and its not practical to pull  / release the tonnec cover everytime. I see MPVs are all black at the back. 

For the sound system, thinking of adding tweeters & a bass. Plus doing additional soundproofing to reduce NVH. Has anyone tried KL Auto? How do they charge?

one other thing, i read that only a remote is given, how can that be? is it true?

Good!

The IMA or battery can't help must when in heavy jam, you will realize each time the auto stop and restart the engine time then fuel consumption is higher as display deep blue. So when u in federal highway or KL jammmmm to start crawling the engine is stop , start , stop, start, my experiance is FC drop so much from 19km/L to 16km/L. To put the gear to N may be helpfull if the jam is stop , jalan, stop , jalan in short period.

But no doubt also other car will have the same higher oil consumption. My experiance is Manual gear car is better at this situation (but kaki patah for glutch).

why is that so? why HM give free service voucher? Sorry, this is my first time dealing with H marque.

Owning a Honda regardless is a CKD or CBU, the price of parts and maintenance is not that far different. My wife owned a 2007 Honda City. Parts that been replaced before cost a bomb too. Changed a pair of rear bearing cost RM 9++ after discount. 12V Battery cost RM 2++, brake pad front and rear RM 600 to 700, irridium  spark plugs RM 6++ and etc.

Did you check how much is a Honda City condenser? It may cost around that price too I'm not sure........so owning a insight CBU or CKD city, civic and so on.....is the same....

I know a person who replaced his nazakia forte front bumber. Cost him RM2K including paint......

maybe i been out of the car market for too long    i just can't digest how a 1.3cc car will cost similarly to a 2.0/2.4cc car in terms of parts. Are car parts prices among marques similar these days?

how much is a normal service? can i service the insight outside of authorised SC? (in case i m in an area where there is no authorised SC)

i m stumped to learn about the remote.   

one thing is for sure, i don't have the time to google & import parts for the car aka ran_deep.

and could someone tell me how they tint the back w/s glass? can tint black aka MPVs?

Shorty, got stepside garnish ? Can source?

remote - yes, only one remote is given. but you're given 2 pcs keys. if you lose the remote, you can open the door using the 2nd set of keys, then disable the alarm inside by punching in a 4-digit combo (read your manual later when u get the car).

boot lamp / autolock - yes, i would recc you get these done ASAP. for me, it's top priority. along w/tinting of course.

PPS - i hv no regrets getting this. keeps your paintwork nice n new.

sound sys - if you buy component speakers, you'll need to change all 4 door speakers. your component speakers should come w/a set of tweeters, which your AV guy can fit into the front tweeter grill, where yr dash meets the front windscreen.

other items i'd suggest you consider - add a 4-channel amp. will make a lot of diff to yr sound quality. also suggest changing headlights to HID, since HIDs are a perfect fit for our insight projector headlamp.

check my signature below for links to some stuff i did. g'luck!

Just a quick question. boot lamp/auto lock, sound systems, changing speaker, all of these involve the wiring. Won't it void the car warranty if we do it?
