at 180, what the rpm?   dude thats awesome but do you feel that the cars unstable at that speed. Any mod you did? I went up to 140 ++ but the occasional vacuum from the wind and lorries made me back off. The cars too light. Prefer heavier for speed BTW, what was ur fc for that ride? Ha ha ha must be really good |

QUOTE(paull98 @ Dec 23 2011, 05:47 AM) Hi fellow insighters, there's alot in the town, jus ask around and bargain.. mostly very price competitiveI'm going to Klang tommorow so might as well visit the cheap rim and tyre shops i heard of all these while but i don't know which area in Klang. If any of you don't mind would you please tell me a few who has good cheap rim? I'll find out what looks good on our insight and take some pics. Thanks in advance.. |

QUOTE(calvin_ng @ Dec 22 2011, 10:32 AM) Some "tak tak" sound cause by the HID ballast (the ACC shop never install it properly and left it hanging there Dammit) So your service center never complained about installation of HID system for headlight voiding any warranty?I was thinking of leaving my HID installation in there permanently instead of swapping back to normal bulb prior to sending the car for servicing everytime, if that would not be used by the service center as an excuse for not honouring any kind of warranty claim, especially for those electrical related. |

QUOTE(xtrabite @ Dec 22 2011, 10:13 PM) thanks for the advice.. I think I'll go for wireless nite time still cruise at so fast speed....... but looking around few shop around jb, the cost of installing wire + lcd monitor may cost me around RM400  if wireless....  better buy it from garage thread and DIY... I thought normal for insight to have whistle noise... the wind noise became worsen after I installed door visor... or perhaps your noise is differ from mine here is an example of noise produced by my insight feel free to waste 3:39 minutes of your life...  by the way, in that video, currently I'm using stock lamp, will the extend/length of light shoot further with HID? HID nowadays only cost RM1++ only.. china-made of course   Added on December 23, 2011, 10:38 am QUOTE(takeshi99 @ Dec 22 2011, 09:22 AM) Just tot of 1 solution, IF u have the Cobra GPS system, Lock your entry Zone Definition and then wait ur to be test drive by the technician, if u no receive SMS for ur car zone exit, show to the SC and screw them!!! yeah mine got cobra, can track if where is the car  Added on December 23, 2011, 10:41 am QUOTE(shaun1212 @ Dec 22 2011, 08:29 PM) Got the same problem from first day took the car back. Loud whistling sound at 100kmh. It came about for a while and disappeared. I thought it was cross wind or something coz it was loud (definitely not tak, tak, tak). Maybe structurallly something different due to low drag coefficient. Most of the time, the sound is not there so not sure to complain or not. Every once in a while still got. for me i dun bother so much abt the battery, before 3 yrs warranty up i will have changed my car already.Hey, since everybody's so freak out about the battery, i might just start a company to supply batteries to all insighters after 5year warranty is over. Probably wont make money coz the battery suppposed to last up to 15 years or more. By that time the battery will be a few hundred bucks or something like that, ha ha. All chicken about nothing.

Also, if you're recording it for noise, it'll help it you off ur cd/radio leh. Mine's pretty quiet even at 16x |

QUOTE(n00b123 @ Dec 22 2011, 02:27 PM) mind to share the breakdown of that figure? Service - RM11X Semi Oil - RM9X Filter Elements - RM16X Oil Filter - RM1X Added on December 23, 2011, 12:02 pm QUOTE(watonk @ Dec 22 2011, 04:02 PM) Excellent. Free wash. Not overfilling the engine oil. Balance oil automatically return to owner. Some SC need to ask for that oil if not they will keep for themselves. Customer service there is good, quite fast tho but no extra oil return. I didn't ask lar! Free car wash but unfortunately when i collect my car, it's raining -.-"This post has been edited by joshuawong: Dec 23 2011, 12:03 PM |

QUOTE(cbinn @ Dec 23 2011, 10:33 AM) So your service center never complained about installation of HID system for headlight voiding any warranty? Hi bro, why u need to swap bulbs every time you go service? I didn't bother doing any swapping... as long as headlights have no problem.. if got problem, i will just remove the HID system and put back halogen bulbs I was thinking of leaving my HID installation in there permanently instead of swapping back to normal bulb prior to sending the car for servicing everytime, if that would not be used by the service center as an excuse for not honouring any kind of warranty claim, especially for those electrical related. The more you swapping, the fittings will get loosen... |

I will do a proper and permanent installation for my HID this weekend.If I have time and if the weather is fine, I will spend some time to seal up all possible holes I can find under the dashboard especially near the firewall area and the 2 front door and see whether I can solve the whilstling sound. |

Eh, on the 1st page, the aircon smell issue, i've had it also, but since it's usually one off thingy, i left it until now to ask the SC to look at it.
Thing is, they can't reproduce the smell when i sent it there. Usually, the smell happens if u leave the car overnight also for you all? Or, how frequent is the smell thing for the rest of you who gone through this? Spoke with my sc, and they say need to smell it 1st, themselves before can replace the air filter. If i drive it to them tomorrow morning, and i didn't on the air con, will they get the smell when they turn on the air con? |
