QUOTE(alxdc @ Oct 25 2011, 09:08 AM) After looking at mugen door door visor for a long time, dun quite like the design of mugen for insight. I like the venttec design. Slim and it is totally different design from oem door visor if you look carefully. Not everyone have the same taste. That is why there are different design in the market for different customers. Agreed. Use to have mugen visor in my previous ride.. is troblesome during car wash. This venttec seem quite ok with the insight.. but the 4" is totally out. Probably will get the 3" to dress up my insight.

I'm planning to buy either Altis or Insight. May I know how many users here are male Insight drivers? As I see on the road, Insight are mostly driven by female and Altis is male. Is Insight not suitable for male?
What are the special features of Insight compare to Altis?

I don't think Altis's FC is comparable to Honda Insight in normal driving mode From the feedback I got from other forums, the FC for Altis is considered good if it can hit 15km/litre

In term of functionalities, things like auto wiper, auto lights on, keyless entry (does it mean I just need to press the button to start the car without turning the key like conventional way?) sound very cool to me, in which I don't think Altis has it.

For those who wants modulo insight, browse this website. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1522650Attach photo is my insight modulo installation. LED is add on.... Price RM$1,900...with LED The LED only come ON when open door and follow the light timing inside the car.... They open the bottom compartment (driver seat) and open up a wire to attach the LED wire together. That's how it follow the light timing inside the car. Second photo is the LED Sensor light for the trunk. Very useful. Light on base on movement even when you open the boot. Didn't know ACE is selling it (RM$59). Bought another one earlier which is manual on light LED call DOT IT. This post has been edited by jtlim98: Oct 25 2011, 10:00 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

Took my car up to Genting highlands today. Total of 2 passengers and a driver. The car was very responsive going up. With the vehicle stability assist, going around the sharp bends was a breeze. No car managed to overtake me going up. In fact, the performance was better than I expected. Fuel consumption going up was 12.2 KM/L.
As for going down Genting Highlands, the experience was just amazing. Battery was fully charged most of the time and engine noise was minimum. Fuel consumption coming down was 34KM/L
How's that for my Genting experience!

QUOTE(mrsafwan @ Oct 25 2011, 10:33 AM) can anyone point me to any posts that discussed about the solution for a wet floor on passenger's side. i wanna know before i blindly send the car to SC. brand new car already need to dismantle everything ke? dont want my car to be experimented by SC to know where the leaks might come from. I found a similar leak in my Insight to be from an unplugged opening under the left wheel arch passing into the passenger compartment for the wiring from the Honda Malaysia factory fitted Cobra immobizer. A rubber plug is provided with the original wiring but the installer did not set it in place allowing water run-off from the windscreen to flow down and through the unplugged opening into the passenger compartment. This has been confirmed by pouring water on the windscreen and observing the flow of water down the wheel arch. The opening can be seen under the left front wheel arch (towards the rear) after removing the wheel arch stone guard. The leak stopped after the rubber plug was reset in place. Hope this solves your water leak also.
