Been up in Cameron, 4 adults and loads of stuff . Can feel the car grinding for power but overall, no sweat.

Overtook most everybody. Genting should be the same

Enjoy

it's a solar film tinted.. not a safety/security solar tinted.. that 1 have a huge different bro...

u can see the thickness of the tinted.. for solar film, it stated that only 2mil, but the safety tinted can have 5mil thickness... for adding a few hundred, i better go for a safety tinted then...

anyone interested to go tinted ? 1 car cost RM400, if 2 car, RM600 only then divided by 2, only cost Rm300...

Aiks! Missed out the word "Safety" lol!

I used to have the safety tint on my previous vios, cheap safety tint doesn't reject heat. So need to know what's the % of the infrared heat rejection.

Front screen (MT-70)

Colour: Light Grey
Thickness: 1.5mil
Visible light transmitted: 72%
Ultra Violet rays rejected: 99%
Infrared heat rejected: 58%


Rear screen (AC-60)

Thickness: 1.5mil
Visible light transmitted: 60%
Ultra Violet rays rejected: 99%
Infrared heat rejected: 65%


4 windows (MG 5850A)

Thickness: 5mil
Visible light transmitted: 56%
Ultra Violet rays: 99%
Infrared heat rejected: 85%

I was told that hybrid with electric motor with engine. It will achieved :
Insight 1.3 = 1.6
Prius 1.8 = 2.3
Prius c 1.5 = ?

Not recommended to bribe SA to get your car earlier because your SA is more desperate than you to get the car for you since more sales mean higher incentive for him.

go up genting sap sap sui lor.

Anyone installed the bootlip spoiler? Look nice... I also like to spray to black plastic area of the boot lip to premium white.. anyone know how to remove it for spraying?

i washed my engine car bay last weekend.

berasap.

I washed the engine bay using high pressure jet quite often and air blower to dry it. Certain area have to be avoided though.

drove my insight to toyota showroom to checkout prius c...
no one entertain me..
wondering why..

sat on the driver seat, only then I know.. haha
nothing to proud about - dashboard engine bay

who said insight-er banging our ball with arrival of prius c.. we just laugh..

nice bro...

wasted your time right
But one thing Insight lost la..



The reason for 7 air bags!!

with that kind of collision, you need something more than airbags.. maybe teleportation already..

Actually, wanted to discuss this with u all.

In our and Prius's case, we convert mainly petrol > battery, while some is saved from regen braking. From personal driving, I'll say maybe 20% of the battery's power came from regen/braking.. (I consider myself a pretty good hypermiller, avg 19.5km/l for 80% city, 20% hw)

My question is, as physics says... During conversion of energy from 1 source to another, definitely energy loss will happen.

+ We're carrying the extra weight of the battery and the IMA system itself.
+Prius, even worse, carrying two full set of engine and transmission thingy and battery.

By this logic,
Wouldn't it be more efficient if we just have a 1.5L ICE in Insight with start stop tech, which i believe is the main contributor to our FC? (The new civic non hybrid have an eco save version with autostop feature too and their FC is similar to ours~!)

In terms of converting the energy to electric (energy loss), storing it(energy loss), using that energy(energy loss) and convert it via the electric motor.. + the added weight of batteries, I guess we're really in a small sweet spot that makes it all worth while in the end.

Now, going into the petrol>battery deeper, wanted to ask if there's RPM ranges during the ICE combustion where it's actually more energy effficient to convert and store into battery vs, burning the ICE 100%?

For example, if I drive at 40km steady, u will notice it'll charge battery, and after charge a few seconds, it'll go into EV mode, then depleted, then charge, then EV mode again, etc for infinity..
Apparently, overall this operating mode is more fuel saving in the end, despite, the initial assumption that converting energy from one form to another will result in net loss?

Anyone else finds this interesting on how the engine works, and why it's possible to convert and still net gain in the end?


*My unscientific guess is, at certain RPMs/Speed, the energy gained from burning ICE and the conversion ratio of that energy into actual speed is not efficient and results in huge losses*

And, during this highly energy>speed 'defficient' speed/rpm range, it's actually more profitable to convert the energy to electric save it and use it later on....

the 7 airbags issue is Honda Malaysia punya kerja bodoh. How can CRZ have 6-7 airbags whereas Insight 2? US, Euro, Japan spec Insight have 6-7 airbags. The bodoh Honda Malaysia planner aka decision maker really ball less and have no confidence in their products.

Guys any idea when the 1.5 litre version will be arriving to Malaysia?

So Honda Malaysia still stick with 2 airbags for 2012 facelift model???

xtrabite, you are xtrabad

insight ruleees!

Anyone notice the rust at the fuel cap?
