there are some people driving a CRZ already, I believe they got their cars from some parallel importers.. I heard they had to pay around RM130k+

Really?? hmm 130k+ sound reasonable. Wonder how much will the New CBU priced. I don't think it will be around RM130k, should be more.

Hmmm... I remember the previous owner that my friend COD his modulo kit with mentioned the whole set mugen kit include front grille and rear spoiler cost around RM2800 with installation. He has the mugen front grille and some weird duck tail spoiler installed but no skirting.

hi guys .. first time posting here ...been following this thread on Honda Insight ... I am have just completed ready V1 .. now onto V2.

My SA just called me ... I can get the White Insight this month and if I want Silver it will be end of July.

So I got these next 2 days to decide if I want white or silver.

So just wondering is it difficult to maintain white color ? I mean I don't wash my car every week .... will the color fade ? turn yellow ? etc.

Thank guys .... keep up the good work!

Can't wait to get the Insight ... been poisoned like crazy since I started reading the thread here in LY tongue.gif
*
I think the pearl white won't fade, but i will turn yellowish after a while (maybe after few months or year). same goes to silver and blue, the colour shade will be different after awhile. If you respray certain part with the same colour code, you will see it.

Black can reflects more hence you can see more of the car shape under the sun or even soft lighting. But Swirl mark is the #1 killer!

Pearl White contrast with the darker part (windows, tires, car number plat) and it makes insight look nice even under poor light condition smile.gif

For lazy people like me, I chose silver wink.gif

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
*
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 sad.gif

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 wink.gif

Leave it as it is if you didn't mod anything to do with electrical, especially the Audio system.

yeepee... My SA called just now, can proceed to place booking and he promised can deliver within 1-2 weeks smile.gif

Sorry for those waiting for months... what i did was, i didn't sign anything or book the car if the SA can't promise the fast delivery. I'm not sure if i had 'cut Q' but the SA said someone changed his colour from silver and HM most of the time will not allocate the specific colour they ordered so it's all depend on luck smile.gif When this happened, they normally find a way to sell off the car instead of request to change the colour.

The allocation is also depend on the sale volume of a particular branch, the more they sell, the more cars they might get for the next order.

I'm wondering if they are allow to order the car without any buyer hmm.gif If yes, why not they just order a lot since this model is selling like hotcakes.

Cannot wait any longer for my insight...

Actually when I 1st approach Honda Salesman last Friday, most of them said the waiting period is about 1 month but most can't promise fast delivery. Try Silver or white at Sumber Auto PJ, Angkasa Jalan Ipoh or Kah Motor Puchong.

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.... hmm.gif

14% is about right considering transmission + rolling resistance loss

After all, its a dyno graph. Usually done on-wheel. icon_rolleyes.gif
S, according to user manual it means 'second', according to fanboy it means 'sport'.
*
Honda never stated the combined torque is 199nm. correct me if I am wrong. blush.gif

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 tongue.gif

QUOTE(jacek @ Jun 20 2011, 09:09 AM)
not so clear, but i was cruising 90km/h and using battery alone ...about 10seconds.
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)

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

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

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  tongue.gif
Ya. that's the trick part, they didn't state the final figure but the say the engine has got 121Nm torque + the IMA has 78Nm torque...

If it really shows 199Nm on the dyno meter, my guess is either the combustion engine or the IMA has a higher output than stated in the catalogue. But i doubt it has 199Nm of torque. hmm.gif

Anyway 170Nm is powderful enuf for a 1.3 lor....hahahah. laugh.gif

Actually, both the front seats are the same design, just a matter of time, when the seat gonna make noise and start knocking u.
I went to MH Prestige, Bdr Sri Dsara, Kepong. Just look for the service advisor there, tell them your problem, and ask for a new seat warranty claim.

Maybe you are referring to the main frame for both passenger and driver are the same because if i remember correctly, driver side got adjustable height thing which passenger side don't.

Can't they just replace the plastic piece instead of the entire frame?

The RM2k++ is for the entire complete seat right?

Do you mind to share the picture of broken part?
