Well, I know Golf GTi cant smoke Evos, Porsche, Ferarris or even some Wiralution. No choice la but to smoke some Civics or maybe STOCK Civic Type Rs. I have always wanted to rev till 8K rpm in neutral then shift to D, but not on my own car. Do you think those showrooms allows us to do that?

Agreed, almost same horsies, 225(H) vs 210(VW) but 6.6s(H) vs 6.9s(VW). 6.9s easy to acheive with DSG gearbox. 6.6s can be acheived by mostly pros.

pick up the golf will lead by far at the top end the type R will come back depands on how far it goes lol

hi guys,
  Did anyone of you notice that when switch off ECON, FC will better then ECON on. Mine can go until 20.5km/l (560km) with ECON off.

ECON on --> 18.4km/l (515km) ..

p/s: only drive at Penang town area (from home to work)
*
are u a heavy footer or light? personally if u are heavy footer best go with turning the econ off else econ on better the thing u feel diff is when u turn the econ off your aircorn will be cooler valve will all open for patrol and air going into your engine to burn while econ mode at low rpm some valve will turn off less air and less fuel burn but for heavy footer keep pressing more fuel and less air = more patrol cant manage to burn and most of the time leading to wasting fuel for heavy footer if u run on econ mode lol try it and u will get what i mean

Met with a minor accident yesterday, guy was double parking and I was passing through his car, and he simply opened his door without looking if any cars was passing by.. bang... hit my insight, dented my back door and minor scratches.. there goes her virginity after just 4 mths..  mad.gif

Asked Honda Workshop for a quote, told me RM585 for paint of whole door and knockjob, plus need to leave the car for 2-3 days. Screw it...
So off I went to fix the minor paintjob and dent repair today at Bdr Sri Damansara.

Right after the accident:
[attachmentid=2435378]

Getting tampal'd:
[attachmentid=2435382]

Into the operation room!:
[attachmentid=2435390]

Surgeon and Asst Surgeon examining and repairing:
[attachmentid=2435393]

All done! (this picture isn't really clear, as its in the spray room with poor lighting, will post one later on in bright sunlight)
[attachmentid=2435395]

The paints used, according to the surgeons, they are ICI paints, just the cans are different coz they mixed the color and poured into these:
[attachmentid=2435417]

Job was done in 6 hours, 12 noon ordered paint, finished 6pm.
Was pretty worried bout the color match, but luckily they really MATCH! and it does give the pearly glow too!
Told the surgeon I wont pay if it doesn't match, he said no problems lol.
Damage: RM190 (all in) rclxm9.gif
Imo, really excellent job, would recommend to any of you guys who needs his service. And most importantly, price is right!  thumbup.gif

Do PM me if you need instructions to the shop biggrin.gif

a lot of place got do this kind of job but if its a job well done no harm puting it in the front page smile.gif

We all know the car jerks. But I drive like a jerk now. Heck, I drive my Kenari faster than I drive my Insight.

Is it just me or are all Insight drivers obsessed with hypermiling? Even driving at 70 - 80km/hr on highway, I always manage to overtake a lot of Insights. I think we are the reason for traffic jam in KL now.

Cheers from fellow jerk in a jerky car.

Quetion is........ are you a jerk on the road?

If you are, then welcome to the club. IF not, it means you bought the wrong car.

You don't have to be a Jerk on the road to get the best FC of the car. Driving slow (<40km/h) brings more harm to my FC than the other way round.

and that doesn't equate to you bought the wrong car as you will still get good FC at higher speed too (100 to 140km/h), if compared to other cars.

It is more of the driver's attitude.

btw, FC is not the sole reason why I bought this car.

infact if I drive normal I get better FC compared to drive like a snail...

the computer onboard function to tell you if you over accelerate and be gentle on your throttle not drive like a snail...

it is to train you to press the accelerator in pace insted of slamming it to the floor...

there is a difference of driving eco style and driving slow... and slow doesnt mean fuel efficiency....

Lol yeah. What I mean was me driving 70-80km/hr on MRR2, but seeing lots of Insight driving a lot lower than that. I normally would have driven 90km/hr on that stretch when possible.

But then again, only drive 7.5km a day to the monorail and another 7.5km back home from monorail. FC does not matter much for me. I pump only RM50 a month.

I guess it might be true, but won't be until at least 3-4 yrs later. Maybe by then can repaint whole car with ori paint tongue.gif

Oh nvm, I will have the last laugh.

Considering how jammed it is in KL, I guess I can only laugh at all the peoples stuck in the jam in their sports car. I normally leave my car at the monorail station and transit via monorail.

Funny thing is that if you are buying a Honda City or similar car, you already paid around 25K - 30K extra. Effectively, you pay at least 8 years worth of petrol (even at RM3.XX) in advance to your beloved government. But still, you need to pay RM1.90/L for some reasons I am still trying to find out.
