well based on my exp, with shell Vpower racing (not normal RON 97), the engine really has a kick..
feels more torque, accelerate better... flex.gif

or maybe just a placebo effect... i dont know... tongue.gif

Wta-according to insight flyer, at high speed cruising (i guess 90-110km/h)- only engine operation without electric motor assist, it is true?

Nice grill there! Now only left the rims to be changed! It's almost perfect!

How much you bought the grill? I only spray to black-matte on the grill.

Sound serious. Which screw bro? Cant find the post.

Btw, that sandwiched Insight looks expensive (to repair). doh.gif
*
Couldn't really tell which one, the SC guys tell me that after I complained to them..
rev the car, make them listen to the sound...
saw them open the cover underneath the car, and found the cause..
said some screws at the driveshaft need to be tightened..
*the remark they wrote is readjust driveshaft bracket/tighten screw...

If your car has that abnormal sound, bring to the SC ASAP, while within the warranty.. =)

Btw, I bring to SC Imavest Sg Long.

P/s: my mistake, the video that I post earlier has what the SC called "tapering sound", because it was meant/designed like that and it's normal..

but the sound when I revved is different - which I didnt have the video...

Anyone encounter mileage dropping after service?
I monitor my mileage for every pump, it seems the more I drive the less mileage I get.
600>580>560>and now 540!
The first time after I pump the petrol, the estimated range by the car is 850+. After a few pumps, now it's only 770+.
I notice the dropping starts after 1st service but according to the sc, they just checked only and did some alignment adjustment.
After 2nd service, it's even worse. Does it have anything to do with the type of engine oil being used?
*
850? really? blink.gif never had that... usual range i got was 550 after pump and increase to 650 depend by the way I drive... hmm.gif

I suggest for you guys to have you car fogged, and watch for any smoke come out from the windscreen..
perhaps can spot some leak...
just an idea..
who's up for a guinea pig?

I thought I always smoke other car in the traffic light...? Making a wheelspin too...
Instaneously start engine after an idle start stop...
Our suspension is hard too..
I dont think she drove an insight before, she just making that up...
And I think her own car didnt have telescopic steering wheel adjustment..
What a weirdo writer... review a car without knowing about simple, basic stuff of the car...
