A boy riding m/cycle w/out licence just kiss my bumper n scratched my insight body..can his insurance cover the total repair?any SC in Selangor can repair my car?

the way i see the insight, firstly it a Japan CBU car for 99k, this itself is a no brainer, where in Malaysia can you find a Japan CBU for 99k? its really value for money.

FC is secondary to me, if the insight manages 700km on 40 litres of RON95, its a +1 for me.

As for the battery, when you sell the car, just factor in the 6k (battery cost), what's so troublesome about that? 6k is a lot of money, well is 1 iphone, 1 ipad & 1 PS3 a lot of money? And if 6k is really a lot of money, then you don't qualify to even think about owning an Insight, Vios, City, Swift, you should be looking at Saga, Viva range of cars.

some people can't see value, some can. let them be & enjoy your insight

Barely 2 weeks ago, I just had my ICE upgraded over the weekend at an accessories shop. I had the original 4 speakers (looks like thin reflective plastic cone to me) pulled apart and re-use the speaker casing. 6.5" speakers will be able to fit nicely at door chasis. Just to share with you guys on the ICE installation:

1) Tweeters are placed at the front mesh panels, where they are supposed to be in the 1st place. HM has removed the tweeters in order to make Insight priced 'competitively'. Recommended to slot in cloth in between the plastic panels and the surrounding dash before pry open with flathead screwdriver. Or else, you might accidentally scratch the pastic dash...I had mine scratch, but a tiny one.

End result, the tweeters are attached to the panels by superglue. The cables are lined all the way down the pillar and routed to the amp.

2) Replaced all ori speakers with 4 mid bass at every passenger doors. Initially 'heartbroken' when sifu ripped apart the door trims, exposing the bare door chasis. He went ahead to 'destroy' the ori speakers so that the speaker casing can be re-used.




3) As for the amps, sifu creatively installed the amp at the front passenger foot rest, beneath the floor mat. Unlike the typical location at passenger underseat, tuning can be done without difficulties and the bottom A/C blower can cool the temp of the amps if engaged. Beneath the floor mat, there's a polysterene board; sifu just cut-out an opening to suit the amps.



Finished product. The amp is barely noticeable when I step on it. Hopefully it's durable enuf~! Im using Dominations ES 4-ch amp; its relatively small and light (fit perfectly within the poly board), decent output and doesn't eat up too much power from source.


View when glove box was removed to allow cable connections. Take note of the dust & pollen filter (rectangular piece) next to the connectors.

4) The HU was partially removed as well to route cabling between amp. Be careful when try to remove the HU, as the metal frame of the HU will easily scratch the surrounding plastic dash that house the HU. So it is advisable to place a cloth below the HU during removal process



Fuse in between connections of amp and 12V battery.


Cable routing through the firewall on the metal chasis.

Overall the ICE setup cost me about 2k. The sound from CDs played is definitely much better than the stock speakers, glad that i got rid of them. The vocals are crisp and clear, and surprisingly mid bass is strong. Btw, Im using Dominations D'lite 6.5" mid bass for back speakers...they are good when tuned to woofer-like. Front mid bass are installed with Dominations D'lite pro and they are improved with kicker bass. I have no active sub installed as back mid bass has been tuned to take care of that.

I felt that placing the tweeters on the A-pillar could have better sound staging compared to being hidden within the front panels. Current setup still lack of low freq support, so in future I might look into shallow woofers and monos, at least they will not take up huge boot space. Due to the strong mid bass, all of 4 doors suffered from vibration, so might considered sound dampening as well to contain the bass. Haih, right now no more juice for poison & wife already complaining

For more info, those interested to upgrade their ICE can refer to watonk's ICE DIY guide & infinitium's ICE setup also. Will pinned them up if I have time.

wahhh you are one brave man

*SALUTES!!!* =D

without license how to claim insurance?

Is it true?so what can i do?need to use my own insurrance?really hate this situation..some more Hari Raya..really lose mood for Raya..If i can be there when it happen..

just make a police report first just to protect yourself in whatever case....It happened to my other car last week. motor kiss my left car door and fell....i made a report to protect myself but without his bike plate as i couldn't see through the rear view mirror on the highway..

I think u r missing on one fact... No matter how, if a motorcycle collide with a car, it will always be the car's fault. U will be lucky the boy didn't claim UR insurance for body injury etc.. Just be glad it's just a scratch

wah i feel the pain for u
jz lik my col bang her bf's brand new sonata..

Yeah.. I prefer letting a stranger doing it. It's really hard to settle $ things within relationship.

i wont do that if i were u .. there are too many electrical stuff in a hybrid car to survive , u might not get problem now but when it rusted u might eventually get it.. make sure u get it dry up and sprey some WD40 on all those cable termination point

u can ask the parent to pay if not bring him to court case...

wow is that a bigger battery? any thing removed? does it void warranty just install a bigger batt?

u can claim your own also or u can claim from the fella who bang u .. ask him court case or pay up...

ask the boy how he wish to settle it .. court case or pay up

no.. if the motorcyclist bang from the back than its the biker fault... why follow so near? in the first place no licence is the fault should not be in the road at the first place... its a big offence u know...

guys, mind to put spoiler if quote a long thread? The ICE is nice, but I not dare to do it

Finally...got my lil white!!!

P/S: I was reading the manual book and understand that you can configure the auto lock function for Honda Insight...but havent got the time to try yet..

Read few more times then u will notice it not for our model. That function is for Australia n south Africa modelr

Congrat on you ICE upgrade. Your setup almost similar to infinitium's.

Didnt bother about warranty. We warrant the car ourselves
