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.

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

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)

someone is sellig double din dashboard kit

japanese(hondas) cars always show on crank output.

only conti cars show on wheel.

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)...

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..

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.

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'.

not so clear, but i was cruising 90km/h and using battery alone ...about 10seconds.

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

Black is flashy and can be a mirror if u need to comb ur hair. one man's meat is another man's poison. I think blue is even worse as very few on the road except ah neh owners. 

i think all colors also quite ok. Got its own uniqueness.

to me
Black : fierce
White : nice and can see the shape and figure clearly
Blue : looks special if u ask me, not ugly, but special.
Silver : class. But one thing about silver, from far a glance on silver insight, u wont b able to know that it's an insight.

Honda never stated the combined torque is 199nm. correct me if I am wrong. 

I've never own a brand new Japan made car before, but both my previous recond' japanese cars with stock engine showed higher HP and torque compared to paper when do dyno test.

Actually I asked my friend to do the Dyno run but he refused. I will have to wait for my own car to get the result. Have to wait after the run in period 
I think it has something to do with the ECU as well. Modern ECU learn the driver's driving habit. Also if it's going down slight slope you will get higher cruising speed.

In general the diameter of the wheel + friction + final gear ratio determine the cruising speed. (put aside weather, aerodynamic, ect... because those are vary from time to time)

As a daily car, I chose silver (lazy people like me probably will only wash once a month  )

I prefer
1. Black (back side with only red and black)
2. White (most angle look nice with the black & white contrast)
3. Silver
4. Blue

There....
Maximum Torque (Nm[kg-m]) : 121[12.3] + 78[8.0] (Engine + Electric Motor)
Wasn't 121Nm+78Nm=199Nm 

now i prefer silver    black goin to kill me   
btw, receive modulo visor from "shorty"  and honda toys touchlight
