20km/l is good enough if you're living in KL.

Me even living in small town without traffic jams can achieve around 21km/l.

25km/l can only be done on 100% highway @ 60-80km/h. That was considered travelling straight from Johor to Perlis (775km) for 10 hours.
Quite odd your service mileage. Wasnt it suppose to be done on every X 5K basis?
*
I WISH i could get 20km/L... up in Penang island, am stuck in traffic 95% of the time, A/C on manual mode, Eco on 90%, I can only average 16 km/L sad.gif

of course, i do tend to drive fast, esp with ah bengs, who like to cut in w/out signalling... so I have tendency to introduce them to the powerrrr of 121+78 Nm torque from standing start rclxms.gif

That's what I said I did lor but there is no need to wait till empty wan. And there is no need to reset odometer. You can't anyway. I know you meant reset trip meter. biggrin.gif

Basically I get what you are trying to say and that's how I calculated mine.

ah yes, typo... of course you can't reset the odo. my bad. i meant tripmeter lah smile.gif

hi, may i know where did you install the relay? got pics to share?
*
relay installed 1-2 inches from battery terminal. used a MYS Bosch relay - the one that came w/the box is for European countries, so the polarity is diff from ours.

hm.... dun really like to put relay coz can see wiring. what happen if dun use relay?
*
no relay = not enough power going to your horns = end result not very loud.

you can always put a relay in and find a way to do proper wire management to hide the 'ugly' wires.

hi infinitium.
I've installed the relay. You are right, the sound is much louder and sharper. 1 question. Do you need to install the 20A fuse between battery + to the relay? I didn't connect the 20A fuse. Just the relay only. it is ok?
*
relay shd be enuff bro. BTW, inside the relay there's a fuse.

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  blink.gif ), 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  rclxub.gif )

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?
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!

one remote won't do well with me, how much to make another remote? need min 2 remotes.

PPS = which brand? sonax, S&S, PPS?

did you tint black at the back?
*
think some bros have done a 2nd remote. i recall it was around RM800. call HM and ask.

I'm using PPS. Find it really good.

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.  cry.gif 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)  icon_question.gif

suggest u bring up @ HI US forum... and ask the guys there. Some of them are v experienced mechanics.
