U need to get the wire from the Fuse Box. Find it on the driver section and start looking for the Fuse box compartment and find the fuse etc Radio. From there when you turn the key to ACC, you shall get the power to light up the DRL.

If you want to make the DRL on ON mode, you need to find the power also from the fuse box, see which one if giving the power when your key is turn to ON condition.

spotted a white Insight with Mugen bodykit at Ipoh Main Post Office today. Car plate AHL 86**. Your Mugen looks cool..
Where u get it done at Ipoh?

Is this link saying that our 1.3L insight can be reworked on the IMA system to get better FC? Do u guys know what is JC08 mode & 10-15 mode???

Actual fuel tank capacity?
Hi Guys,
Just wanted to ask if anyone noticed something strange about the actual fuel tank capacity?

Take a look at the following pics
The first one is my total milleage
676 traveled +21 left = 697 total kms (the low fuel light's already been on for a while)
My FC for the 676? is in the next pic 21.4km/l

Now... the advertised fuel tank is 40 liters.

In my case, I have about 1 liter of fuel left in my tank (21km)
I traveled 676/21.4 = 31.58 liters used
So total fuel used+available fuel 31.58+1 = 32.58 liters vs actual 40 liters

Doesn't make sense right, the onboard fuel consumption meter is totally wrong, or my fuel tank is smaller? The photos were taken just before I refueled.

I refueled, and let the pump auto stop.
When it stopped, total fuel pumped in is ~32.5 liters like that + the 1 liter left, actual fuel is more like 33.5 liter.

So.. the 21.4km/l is correct.
I've burned about 31.58 liters
And i've refueled about 32 liters, which all adds up.

What doesnt add up now is, from this. It would seems that the max that my fuel tank can hold is about 34 liters of petrol instead of the advertised 40 liters?

What about the rest of you guys? Are you refueling close to 40?
For the tank to be off by 6 liters, that's a rather big difference.... Need fellow insighter's insight on this ;D thanks..

the book did mentioned, this is an estimation figure. Results may vary....
yup, chizzu's right. the remaining fuel is for reserves.


i have tested, when fuel gauge point at red line, remaining fuel in the car is 5 or 6 litre and pointing 1 or 2 bar below redline, remaining fuel is 3 to 4 litre......

the remaining 8l is the spare petrol in the tank. So when you reach totally empty fuel on the gauge you can still drive your car for the remaining 8l.

if not you wouldve stuck in the middle of the road lol

Seriously got 6-8L left as spare? I heard about that before, but never did dare to drive it until dry... paiseh if others see insight dead on road

Added on October 28, 2011, 10:20 amBut 6liter as spare, that's 120km!!
A bit.. excessive to warn at 40km range if still have 120km+40 km of range in total..?

eltaria
may i know ur daily driving speed? how did u get 676km?

120KM as spare ok laaa.... I rather the car warn me earlier then dead on the road.... on highway 120km just nice to reach another R&R with petrol station...

60% city driving 40% HW
Lots of stop and go traffic < 2km to work daily. < 2 min trips
I offset this by offing aircond, as it's not hot in morning and afternoon when go home, short 2 minute trip anyway, too short time for it to get hot. Speed.. avg ~30km due to lots of stop turn, stop go, speed bump in residential area zzzzzz. (this is the part that really kills my FC) average FC, 19-21km/l depending on how lucky i got to trigger the assist mode. Sometimes when it's triggered, I already have to turn, and have to pedal off.. dbl zzzz

Highway, speed about ~105 avg fc here. 25km/l

Normal city drive speed is about 50-70~ aircond on =D average FC 22 km/l

Live in Iph btw, plenty of stop and go traffic...
Add the above up, avg of 21.4km/l

thanks.....no wonder u managed to get that figure.....
average i get 530 to 570...with average speed 80 to 120....30% highway, 70% city...

i was testing FC while driving back to iph just the other day, on a relatively quiet/empty day in HW.

Experiment.
Drive at autocruise speed for 8km, note FC, accelerate 5km in AC for 2km, reset FC meter, drive 8km etc.
85km/h @26.6km/l
90km/h @26.3
96km/h @23.6
101km/h @ 22.9
102km/h @25.4
115km/h @18.5

The later results is not too accurate, as nearing ipoh, and traffic/2 lanes means I cant get steady readings without stopping/re accelerating again.
96 and 101km/h results seems odd too, maybe I was on an uphill stretch?

Didin't manage to retest 96/101 again, as I'm on a 2 lane stretch and the road has more traffic dee...

Anyone else can confirm this?
For safety reasons, please do it on a empty/quiter stretch of road or ask ur passengers to note it for u.

Woo... Honda Insight front bumper remove picture. That's how the water washer tank and horn looks like... Looks solid for the steel in front bumper.. No wonder 5 star rating for crash test...

very rare I seen people just selling the spoiler only, normally it comes in a set my friend.

daily route from Shah Alam to PJ can manage only 500+km before warning light..

saw one mugen insight the other day

Dun feel good that the facelift insight launch so soon... we missed it ...
