I don't mind to share the fees if we have enough members to support this forum. just need someone who is capable to built this forum and we will have moderator, admin, webmaster and etc.....just like how other forum...

Hm..but facebook in not so practical.
is it better to have a proper sections so ppl wont have a repeated questions and answers. Easy for reader to search for specific topics.

examples sections:-

-General Discussion
-Engine & Performance Modifications
-Exterior Styling & Bodywork
-Wheels, Suspension & Tyres
-Interior Modifications, Security Gadgets & Other Gizmos
-ICE Cold Modifications
-Technical Discussion and Issues
-DIY Projects

another problem, some work place cant access to facebook, like my ofice

If other forums like, teamcity, http://hcoc.net.my,http://eightgc2.forumup.com can do it, I cant see why we cant. Just need more members to support and share to build up.

To combine toyota and honda hybrid into 1 forum sounds like a good idea though.

what about this forum provider?
http://www.zetaboards.com/

http://avanzamalaysia.com is using this.

hm....well we need to start somewhere. we can use the basic forum provider to start off and when it gets better, change to a better forum provider...

lets have a vote and see how many lowyat forum agree to support and help on building an official forum.

fill this up...and compare....
it will give u a clearer picture

I'm not sure whether is this correct. Maybe other members can confirm this. To my experience, seldom drive the car like only drive 2 or 3 times in a week, eventually the petrol will drain out. When I did not drive for a week, my car did not reach the usual KM that I usually get.

By ON and OFF engine too many times, and park under the sun for long period of time like for a week or so, also will drain off the petrol. Since you are not facing this, so dont bother.

my best km is 580km city + highway
i only managed to got 600km once when go out station.

really dunno how the other members manage to get 600km every time

that explains why u can hit so high

all these comes down on budget and size. if prius c has the size of insight, definitely i get prius c.
to be honest, if prius (normal prius) price is similar to insight rather than 140k, definitely i get prius.

ofcoz we know Hybrid Synergy Drive better than ima,
is the budget and the needs of car space to be consider.

i wish i can get ur readings....

what is ur SA talking about. now only Japan building HYbrids for honda. Thailand planning to build jazz hybrid soon.

could u list down the items on the 40k service?
thanks

I assumed is the fuel filter, air filter, aircon filter and aircon service, and CVTF. All these are the expensive items and labour

Thanks but no. Not this one. We want the itemize billing. The invoice.

The fuel filter 3++ is the standard price. My Honda city also cost around there.

U guys can plan your own service schedule need not to follow Honda 100% like I mentioned before. Before your reach to major service or 40k or 80k. U can change certain part before and after 40k. For example change CVTF at 30k, change break oil at 35k. The. 40k only do the expensive service parts like fuel filter. Then 45k change air filter the. 50k AirCon service and aircon filter. Just try to manage yourself. I have been doing this for my 2007 Honda city and my current mileage now is 110k. No issues on warranty void. Don't let the service centre bully you.

If u go through in details, allot of things is unnessesary. U can cancel it in the invoice when they show u before they start servicing your car.

For 40k service
Some ppl may disagree. But this is only my way of doing it and my point of view. If you dont agree. Don't follow. Please don't shoot me.

1. CVT. have u done this before? ( advisable to change CVTF every 20k. If yes the do it on 35k or 45k.

2: ENGINE OIL. Compulsory every service
3: OIL FILTER. Compulsory every service
4:PETROL FILTER. Compulsory every 40k
5: BRAKE OIL. Skip to 35k or 45k
6: DUST AND POLLEN FILTER.(assume is AirCon filter. Skip to 35 or 45k.
7: TIGHTEN UNDERCARRIAGE RM 0
8: BRAKE PAD INSPECTION RM 0
9: ENGINE WASHER. Compulsory When change oil.
10: CVT WASHER. Compulsory when change CVTF
11: ENGINE RETAINER. Not sure what is this.

This is just my way of how I schedule my service. So it is up to u.

Added on May 24, 2012, 2:04 pmLet's be honest guys. What is the real reason u buy insight? Safe environment? I think only 1% agreed and 99% don't agree and I'm in the 99%.

Ok I'm all out. The reason I bought insight is I like the design of the car, tax free( damn cheap for fully imported from Japan) and my monthly petrol pump saving compare to my other cars. Cheap road tax.

Talking about depreciate after 5 years because of battery. I see no different in buying Kia, Hyundai, or BMW, Peugeot and etc. these car brand depreciate badly in our country. So I take it as the same.

Different ppl have different point of view. So to me, as long it save my monthly expenses and I change car every 5 years. It is just a car.

Why stop others from buying the car they like?

Getting a bigger rim deffinately will affect your fuel consumption. It's heavier and wider tire. Infact everything increase such as 17" tires are expensive.

Changing bigger wheels is a good idea to lower your car as well. Without lowering it, my opinion the car looks awkward. Bigger wheel but car look high. Like your feet size is 8 and your wearing size 10 shoe.

Another thing you have to consider, better to get back OEM rims or you have the budget go for ORIGINAL JAPANESE RIM. Dont get Taiwan rim or such.

Check ur 12 volt battery. Ima recharge the 12 volt battery since insight is not using alternator. If 12 volt battery is weak, ima have to keep recharging and it deteriorate ima battery which makes it drop to 1 bar rapidly.

Go to a local taya shop or mechamic check. Don't check at SC, their answer is always, checked tested ok.

Insight owners. Which Ron 95 petrol best for your car?

no problem going anywhere including genting. dun worry. 1.3 ima power wise is no difference then 1.5 city or any 1.6 car.

even a 1.3 avanza can go up genting with ease. dun worry. dun let the hybrid or 1.3 cc scare u

1.3, 1.5, 1.6 going up genting no problem with full load. under power ofcoz lah. but u wont get stuck in the middle of the slope.
