hmmm does anyone here see any powdery white stuff... forming on the pipes beneath the engine area? very fine white powder... (i snapped some photos - will upload later).

this is rather misleading. on paper it is written 121[12.3] + 78[8.0] (Engine + Electric Motor)

but it is impossible to have all 100% output from engine and motor at the same time as shown below... 170+ Nm of torque is still impressive though.

want to ask: for our car it won't be the situation that the car will run on battery ONLY rite? even at very very slow speed? (i am referring to the case when car IS NOT stop and IS MOVING)

Side step: Original Honda rm300 plus labour (without labour rm280)

two things already rm700. not really worth it because by adding rm400 can get the alloy pedal and foot light.

Added on June 19, 2011, 8:05 pmhow come oil filter is not changed? for my other honda car, it always change oil filter together with the engine oil. tot oil filter is the most crucial thing to change during service even compare to engine oil?

oem boot tray , not sure bout it, but boot mat got lo

you are right westlife, I am still looking for OEM mudflaps (without the Honda branding). Anywhere around PJ or KL? The mudflaps are more important now.

This is the weird white powder that's in my car engine area... next to the engine block... anyone have this same issue?





The powder is super-fine... no smell... and doesn't seem to be leaking from anywhere... as far as I can tell.

fungus from JAPAN??????

Mine do have some though but pretty mild.....

mine hav a bit bit... and everyone notice got some place "karat" rusty?? hmmm hahaha

yeah...the left part near to the engine cover right? something like a black jagung sticking out and the rust is below it...

Ya lor...

goin to ask for refunds... wuhahaha

The aircond compressor switched off due to engine stop when idle (auto-stop mode). Econ mode 'on' will extend auto-stop duration. The blower still operate but at minimum speed when climate control set at 'auto'.
Cooling gradually reduced after sometimes (depend on outside temperature). To override, simply pull handbrake and release brake pedal. Engine will restart then.


For the time being only avail at honda. Outside shops usually will have their own version aftermarket sidestep, later (usually made from stainless steel or aluminum).

No, S is useful for rapid acceleration only, or if u wanna maintain 'power-on-tap' at speed below 100kmh or so.
If you're overtaking on highways, at speed around 110-120kmh, yes u can momentarily shift to S, but once the speed stabilize (130-140 etc), shift back to D. The objective shifting to S is to prevent excessive 'slips' on the clucth pack & belting. Once speed stabilized, the rpm will so called 'locked' to certain rpm at D.

If my observation is correct and based on your picture, that white dust were forming at the high pressure fuel line (towards injector). Might be due to some evaporation there. High pressure line will form some external moisture and the moisture could immediately evaporated due to very high temp, leaving some marks of oxide. I didnt worry if we all have that. Also the corrosion below that cylinder-shape part with wiring (left part of the engine)..

Yes it runs on battery ONLY. At speed around 25-50kmh, very light on pedal. The i-vtec mechanism going to idle mode, all valves will completely immobilized, all 4 cylinders will equalize their pumping sequence and leaving only electric motor driving the crankshaft. There will be slight 'jerk' or 'lurch' when the engine going to battery mode only or return to normal mode. The only way to know that is through battery/fuel mapping on the MID, or seeing the 'assist' needle going up without much pressure on accelerator. But if u can listen carefully, there's also slight change on engine/exhaust note.

Me so far never had problem with the alarm system. red led blinking when locked.

thanks for reply.

i know there is a red led blinking near to the meter side that one i know.

i am referring to the cobra button (the one we press the code one) the indicator is it on when the car is being locked?

121+78=199

At least its the theory...

Motor and engine indeed working simultaneously. Notice the assist needle went up together with engine rpm under full acceleration?
That graph might be showing on wheel hp and torque rather than crank output.

japanese(hondas) cars always show on crank output.

only conti cars show on wheel.

Arggg... i think lyn should add "like" button.

So far...does the white powder lead to any engine probelm ??

my dad owns black insight.. its quite ugly compare to white

he brought insight coz his accord got accident by lorry...
insight is the cheapest car he can brought within 2 weeks.. lol

jus 5 month owns accord then accident.. so lame la itu lorry..

sekarang the car is mine.. after he got back his accord..

but insight punya aircond is so dissapointed la..

yeah, same thinking here, black insight looks not nice and not outstanding at all comparing to any other colors.
