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.

So what does 'S' gear means ya? Second gear? Sport gear? anything else?

I used to observe my IN2 was cruising on battery only at the speed of 80+ kmh... but need to be veryyyyy light foot lah... hard to maintain also... the only time battery only cruising becomes practicable is when trapped in slow moving traffic jam (too slow cannot laaa, will always be on petrol-only mode)...

someone is sellig double din dashboard kit

no degradation in engine performance so far, for me...

Finally received my free gift after updated profile in the honda website hehe

Added on June 20, 2011, 9:32 amnot so clear, but i was cruising 90km/h and using battery alone ...about 10seconds.

Much cheaper @ RM 260 compared to the other seller in this forum. But problem with these kit is you going to lose the audio control on the steering wheel once you install the LCD screen/double din player. Anyone do have reference on how to maintain the audio control on the steering after changing the original player? Saw a youtube, taiwan introducing insight, they have OEM double din kit for customer to choose, of course the audio control on steering is maintained.

I dont think honda was stupid enough for publishing combined max torque figure @ 199nm and at the same time contradict themselves with dynograph showing max torque 170nm only....

14% is about right considering transmission + rolling resistance loss

After all, its a dyno graph. Usually done on-wheel.

S, according to user manual it means 'second', according to fanboy it means 'sport'.

Hey guys, just a couple of concerns. One being my aircon has a funny smell at start up. Wondering whether any of you guys have the same thing. The white powder, is it like harmful to my engine or not? And also yea, slight rusting on the cap like thing to the left. Other then that, sweet ride. Crazy pick up in S gear and smooth driving.

beauty lies in the eye of beholder...mine is black but to me is "sexy" compared to white
lot of white insight on the road now...
aircond to me superberb, at 27c still cool compared to my other proton.
ur word 'dissapointed' not justify anything or ur aircon got problem..just send to SC to check.

yup, my aircond does has some funny smell, but not at start up, rather is sometimes during the auto-stop. Mostly is during the ECO-Mode on. i remember one of the bro here said it's bcoz of the aircond compressor?
