I agree, but I find the power to weight ratio is good enuff... coz...

My regular car that I am driving is six potter but weighs more than 2,000 kilos... so the Inspira is already super lightweight for my backside whenever I drive it...

nzh0920: add all of them up, you will feel more kick at lower RPM...

DIY, use a think pen knife (with those one inch blades) and carefully and slow cut away...


The net you can buy from hardware shops, just make sure the holes are small enuff to stop small leaves and stuff, but big enuff to not restrict air...

Or find an accessories shop that is friendly with you, ask if they have the "air-cutter blade" (which uses compressed air) or electrical mechanical cutter blade to cut it for you...

EDIT: You can try William JE Auto ma... since you so buddy with him...

Added on July 19, 2011, 3:17 pmOf course, there are way more stuff that can be done to the car... but i let my pleasure level diminish (and warranty expires) to start looking at ECU reflash, CAI open pod, port polishing, exhaust system....

Dude, sometimes DIY can be good as you will be more careful and slower when u cut the hole, and taking extra effort to make it look nice...

Those accessories shop will simply blast the cutter and will cut zigzag and out of shape... mine is a bit out of shape due to extra drummel-ing...

You CAN fold down the back seats ma, no?? Even the brochure shows a full sized bicycle can fit in when seats are folded down...

Added on July 19, 2011, 4:08 pmSurely they have taken your advice into consideration and now have asked Petronas to come up with 10-40?? Dont the HUGE conglomerates work by listening to their fellow workers and suppliers??

Hugo Kajang is the supplier of this part to JE Auto.... the selling price of RM8 a piece is from Hugo Kajang, but u need to ask with installation, total will come to how much??

Yes, the brand is AMT...

Added on July 19, 2011, 9:33 pmThe black 1in water pipe type?? I recall someone selling at RM180 per piece....

But u can get any other ones that ngam the struts, even the UR Bars (with lifetime warranty) is selling at RM190 at JE Auto... Just be aware that UR Bars dont sit flat on the strut towers as the Inspira have a soft but protruding notch that can cause the bottom to crack. This has happened to one owner in the past...

Also, note that UR Bars only tie 2 nuts as opposed to using all 3 screws on the strut towers...



Overall, the steering is much responsive and precise during turns as the angle of the struts is now the same as there flex is controlled at the top by the strut bar....

Added on July 19, 2011, 9:44 pmFor front springs, A or B will fit... same as back springs E or F will fit... The smaller the size the easier to slot in the spring gaps ma...

The main issue is if the rubber is at the right height to prevent the springs from compressing too much, or not... just nice or too loose...

Using a rubber thats too loose may result in sounds when going over humps as the rubber/silicone is not fitting esp when the springs de-compresses and re-compress again during humps... also, having a rubber too small (or not adequate in height) will not be as effective in reducing the spring compression...



Silicone is soft but more weather resistant and more durable to cracks than rubber... anyway, as its only RM90 oer set, I will have changed 3 sets of this AMT silicone for the cost of one "higher" quality buffer at RM240 per set... and my 3 sets will have better quality and life than 1 set of "higher" quality ones... no??

Added on July 19, 2011, 11:01 pmSo the 0 is the lowest position? Or 0 is the highest??

Can i know that immediately after plug in, u can UP the headlights throw without setting it first?

This post has been edited by Poadster: Jul 19 2011, 11:01 PM

That is what i am asking you... since 0 is the highest, and default is 0, so you can move UP the headlights when u plug in meh?? Dont you need to set the headlamp to the highest, then plug in and the car will recognise that as 0 = highest??

And then you can lower it to 4, and move back to 0 for highest...

So, no need set the headlamp to highest first??

Oh, so you mean that the headlamp will auto set itself to high at 0, so means when u plug in?? So the ori lamp setting is 3, then u can UP it when u set 0??

I am curious as to know if we need to set the lamps to the highest, so 0 will be that high... and then we set it back to 3 like ori... just curious on the ori setting of the headlamps...

I am happy with my HID and have long time adjusted the beams...

OK, thnx... i had thought we need to set the highest then the switch will know that as 0....

So, if the switch controlled 0 is still too low, then u cant do anything about it liao lo..... no??

OK, thnx for the info....

Now i know why our headlamps costs RM1300 each.... (or is it RM1700++??)...

WOI...!!!

Added on July 20, 2011, 8:11 pmThe headlamp switch is just as switch, when u plug it in, it shld read and set that height to the setting on the switch, be it 0 or 2 or 4. It will then move the motor based on the settings of the switch next, up or down, based on default... so technically down 4 notch if default plug in at 0, or up 4 notches if default is 4.

Thus the varying responses on how and why the switch acts differently....

There is no logic board or chip on the switch, and i doubt our car have self-leveling function intact, as this will require additional gyroscopes at the front and the back of the car, attached to an ECU that controls the headlamps...



Best test is to do what XCInspire have asked for, i think it will move up 2 notches when re-plug in as it will read that position as 2 (and not 0)...

The headlamp motor will have gears and it will not move any more than allowed as its electronically controlled and will cut off if there are resistance to turning... the main reason why CKK's lamp was "lari" due to over screwing and have worn out the threads... manual "screwing" no control ma...

Anyway, I dont have the switch, and am only speculating....

Lemme be BLUNT, since you ask for it...

1. Motor(bikes) will pass u from behind, and fast... so ur folding mirror can be as fast as them passing u meh???

2. Again, motor(bikes) come from behind, your mirror oso folds BEHIND, so when your mirror is folding back, the motor(bike) come front and bang it, wont the force be more destructive as the mirror is moving?? Sure the whole mirror "hancur" lo.... Ori non folding mirror will only swing forward when kena langgar, I only need to come down and swing it back... while you will be crying at your RM1,000 down the drain...

Yes, RM1,000 coz you have to buy ONE PAIR for replacement...

JK... JK....

I doubt so, coz u need wiring, motor, gears and switches to detect open or closed position....

Ori foldable mirror dont have the LED strip ma... no?

Put LED strips at all gaps, means doors, bonnet and boot...

Put LED strips under the car, and multicolor wan...

Pt LED strips INSIDE and AROUND the bodykit, so it shines out and ppl can SEE your bodykits...

And do this too, coz recenty saw an Plum Red Inspira, with BLUE DOTTED LED surrounding his entire rear lights cluster... hmmmm.... I am sure he/she is god damn proud thinking its really beautiful.....

Jelly at ur back...??? You havent SEEN what XCInspire and me have DONE to our rear....!!

Teaser: They comes on when parking (aka small) lights comes on, they becomes brighter when the car brakes, AND they blinks with signal.....

This is coz our mirrors dont have the required wiring, motor, gears and switches ma... so have to buy the whole mirror AND change the existing switch to one that have a additional button to fold and unfold the mirror...

ckk125: me not getting the switch, I have adjusted my HID to the perfect level as I want it... don need to adjust so no need switch lo... worried later screw thread strip like you old headlamps....

chyapp: cool la.. me just teasing you.... u rich ppl can be very yeng zhai wan....

As long as you are happy with the look of the car, with no major defects, then you will be even happier when you test out its full power....

Plenty of performance mods (KNN, Ralliart Air Snorkel, Voltage Stablilisers, rims and tyres, rubber dampers, lowered springs, Hotbits exhaust set, UR bars, etc), beauty mods (rims and tyres, again, bumpers, spoilers, paint protection - SG or PPS, LED, HID, headlamp switch), and internal mods (interior lights, HU and ICE, etc)....

Come to TT and show us you new beauty.... and the latest addition to the ever growing family of Inspira owners...

CONGRATS, to you and to all the new owners.... you wont stop smiling when your engine hits the MIVEC zone... and you WILL turn into daredevil speed demons on the road....

Nope, its common in Lancers too.... go see them Lancers when you see one in car parks, its the same.... the left (passenger side) ones have slightly bigger gaps...

I personally dont even notice this until a few weeks back when I was doing something at the back.... as long as there is no water ingress into the boot, I am fine with it.... u cant tell if you are sitting in the car behind me... and it doesnt slow my 180km/h Federal Highway runs...

I have seen some Lancers with uneven gaps on their lights, there are a few LGT in MidValley carpark... but then, as long as no water ingress is ok lo...

Lucky you say YOUR CAR's back.... i ain't gonna see ya back... no way jose...

Come, show during TT... !!

-cmi-: Not many Inspira have big problems, there was one but he settled it with Proton.... As long as the car is in good condition, stable, not cracks and creaks, no water ingress, no tears or dents or paint defects, AND the car performs as according to a 2.0 (or whatever variant you got) MIVEC engine.... you will be damn happy....
