If u are chop shop kaki, then u will know that all of the halfcut there has this kind of white powder on the engine bay.what is that I not sure la,but my halfcut engine last more than 10years without issue
New batch might need to worry is a radioactive dust...hahaha..just kidding

Lol..so you're saying that insight is chopped la...hahah!joking nia...

so many things wanna install/ buy:

boot tray
door step garnish
reverse camera
carpet
super loud horn
tint

but i think the main priority is the horn, tint and reverse camera.
the horn like 'farting' sound. no one bother when i horn haha.

suddenly SA call and say is fast can get car next month end... the car loan eon bank aredy call me to apply loan...

i actuakky put Silver as choice, but SA say put one more choice, then i put 1 more, White

here's the thing, i am paying but my sis will be the main user, he no care wat color, so am i (since i wont be driving 80% of the time)

so depend on fate whether its white/silver... didnt ask the SA which one he booked for me also... ai... confusing

Mind to share where will you be getting your door visors and boot tray?my accessory guy quoted me for 130 mugen style visor...worth it?

anyone put this? will look odd or not? sticky ? will fall off?

I went to few Honda Showrooms last friday and saturday. Surprisingly, there are 2 SA (Sumber and Angkasa) said not really long Q for insight if you don't mind taking any colour and can deliver within 1 month.

No discount. Only can give umbrella and ecotint/pro-something (forgot the tint name) voucher

Now waiting for the both SA to call back and will drop-by to pay the booking fee. Hope can close the deal soon. I don't really mind any colour but blue

Almost everytime, just felt like something loose with my brake padel

oh for me & my tidak-ape-sister also same...

as long as not blue, i can take black as well, but if i get that my parents will nag forever until i sell this car or repaint it... they have some phobia on black cars dunno y...

and since i cant decide whether to go for white or silver, just put both option and let fate decide...

the super loud horn is #1 on my list, after tinting

would recommend the Hella SuperTone range. but it's hard to find around here... retails for USD 50 on Amazon (if you have US friends coming here, can ask them buy and bring back for you). see some of my previous posts on this forum, for photos of the horn (check out some YouTube vids of the horn sound too).

Hi Sifus..
I booked my Insight somewhere in May and the SA told me that I should be getting Insight sometime in Mid-Aug. Can any of sifus here tell me what i should be preparing to spend extra to get the car looks + feel better? I have been reading the forum from V1.. and these are the list of things I have read that people are adding/improving.. Have I missed anything else?

1) boot tray
2) door step garnish
3) reverse camera
4) carpet
5) super loud horn
6) tint
7) Body Kit
8) Boot Light
9) Foot Light
10) Sports Pedal
11) Door Visor

Also I will be going to the US next month. Which of the above can I buy cheaper in US rather than getting here? Sorry i am not very good about cars so will appreciate all your help..

love this rear view and the bodykit.
by the way, by any chance bro here have changed the rear plate panel as shown in this pic? I think it looks nicer on white, rather than the initial plate with the black board cover the whole plate number area.

Well I have a problem with my driver seat, which gives a "knock" at my back and also a "tok" sound, whenever I press brake abit harder, whenever I accelerate suddenly or when I make a turn. Something seems to be loose inside, its like something hits me at the back, like a small ball or something like a massage chair sensation.
Nothing's bulging out or anything, just that if i lean back hard, it gives a sound "tok" and when i release it, it "tok" back. Very irritating.

So I sent it to a nearby SC, to check on it. They checked and said it needs to be replaced. However, after knowing I didnt purchase the car from their SC, the SA directed me to go back to where i bought the car from to claim for warranty. And that they can't do anything for me.
Well, that's just really unacceptable, as I bought it from my hometown, which is far away. And knowingly, warranty claims should be nationwide SC, I gave HM a call to complain about this SC on the spot.

After listening to my story, HM advisor called up the SC and directed it to the SA who was serving me. After for like 30 minutes waiting, the SA approached me and said they will help with the claim and do a report on it. That is, after consulting the service manager there. So I kasi complain to the service manager la, he told me, yeah, its true u can claim from any SC, however, as there are many cases where other SC often push away customers to their SC to do the claim, they also pushing them away. So lame and unprofessional.

I think they do not get any commission and yet they need to put in a report with pictures etc, to support the claim, hence they reluctant to do it.

Nevertheless, the service manager took the pics, and assured me that he'll make the report. Says would take maybe 1 months to claim it, IF HM approves the claim. Also have to leave my car in the SC for 1-2 days to fix a seat... wah... fix seat also need 1-2 days. My an neh can open up all seats within 2 hrs lol.

We'll see what this service manager can do le, just quite unhappy how they give false information to customers to avoid the hassle of doing a report.

tipu la wei... i bought it from KT and i claim the windows "rubber" i dunno call wat at penang sc. they also accept wat.

but, my claims date on 27/04/2011 til now, still no parts

Duno la, maybe just a few SCs doing this..

Mine got no sound but the stupid rust make the car look cheapo. Feels like painting the rusty edge.

Glad to hear they going to replace for you. Could be the "Passenger's Active Front Head Restraints" malfunction.

The inside area of the wheels of my Insight are brownish. Don't know whether it is rust or is it normal with all cars or what. Anyone having the same thing? As in, if you look into the wheel spokes, the area about 8cm inside then you can notice the brown area.

Yeah that's the worst part, its known as brake rotor/disc. The edge is forever rusty make our new car ugly.

i think that's a normal case for all disc brake
