I need a new car now, travel a lot for work purpose, facelift till now not confirmed yet so can't afford the unconfirmed 'waiting period'. Anyway, there will always be a facelift version coming out one after another, keep on waiting means will never buy eventually.

Anyway, I love the current look with the Mugen bodykit installed. Got the bodykit installation done just now around noon. Have not got chance to take a photo, anyway, will give the car a wash first tomorrow as it is quite dirty from the long distance drive with on and off rain.

The shop is in Subang. Price is below 3k for abs material. Some may think this price is on high side, but i think you get different quality with different price. i found some cheaper price ones during survey, some material are not abs, some paint not match correctly and the shape of the kit not consistent (have to bent to fit and can see wavy / not-smooth effect), some shop workers have kind of arrogant attitude like dun want to do business.

I fitted front, side and rear skirt, plus the tail spoiler. surface properly cleaned and primer applied before fixing the abs with 3m double sided tape. the front grill was included, but i kind of like the original insight grill, so i just kept the black mugen grill without installing it. anyone interested of buying just the mugen grill from me? hahaha...

how much for front mugen grill? brows.gif

I don't know how to describe this:

Car jerking issue:looks like it happens during low fuel before alert appears. As usual when I step on accelerator lightly but not much acceleration like usual, gotta step harder and hold for 1-2 seconds then only it speeds up.

It gives me a feel like the car is going to sleep soon.
*
im facing the same issue now.
it happen quite frequent lately with the engine slow response and needed hard acceleration to get the car moving. the jerking issue is getting worse now, even my colleague in my ride thought i did it in purpose, car will jerk while braking.
my insight is hitting 25k km. i hope this Insight will proof those hybrid haters wrong...haha

if this continue, I will sell this insight and get a civic or camry.

Done my 15k service last week.

By default, they are using SM 5W-30 Engine Oil (Semi) (RM99.80) and not the mineral oil as stated from honda website.
Remember to claim the RM40 e-voucher. The first bill they issue only deduct RM 20 for the e-voucher, but after verify again and they made some several calls, they issue me another bill with the deduction of RM40.  rclxms.gif

The next service (20k) will be very expensive!! RM 400 plus.. sweat. sweat...

hmnn..how much exactly the SC is charging us for the semi sync engine oil?

arghh... the two nut cover of my front wiper arms were stolen, exposing the silver nut.

I am not sure when other stuff like the radio antenna will be targetted. for time being, just going to buy a can of black paint and spray the nut black so it does not look too obvious that the rubber is missing.

icic..wow, your mileage is moving fast
anyway, just to share with the folks here, I have received a sms notification from my sales agent
according to him, Kah Motor will be having a service campaign on 19-20th November at Puchong Service Center and 3rd-4th Dec 2011 at Chan Sow Lin Service Center.

If you bring your car to these SC for service during this campaign, you will be entitled for a free 20-point safety inspection + 25% off discount for parts replacement

Wooo...test drive Toyota Prius yesterday...not bad especially start engine (no sound) but Insight much more comfortable... Probably leather seat tongue.gif Very quiet indeed but when you accelerate, you can hear the engine roaring a bit...don't like the sound...prefer insight more... tongue.gif

Ask the salesman about the incident in Kerinchi highway where prius caught fire(first in the world). It is because that fella change the radio into navi radio cum touch screen. Somehow the wiring touch the high voltage and caught fire I think. Salesman no comment tongue.gif

Did check the engine bonnet, very complex. Not as simple as insight. Modification is hard and at your own risk as the generator is beside the engine(High Voltage). tongue.gif

Still prefer insight...sportier...easier to mod and comfortable... That's my opinion.... biggrin.gif
