Cuz this colleague of mine she drives car very fast one having hard time chasing me uphill. The moment I rev my car, Insight seems to have slower respond to catch up the sudden accelerate.

Not enjoy la, so damn jam. Only enjoy when going uphill.
But after uphill trip once, now the car looks more smoother in normal road and easily accelerate when I wanted it and it still maintained at eco bar (Eco score display), won't rev til red zone (which is the pwr)
Next up: rev at genting uphill

Actually Audio Player is not that bad as some forumers mentioned.All I can say is the sound is quite decent at least better than my previous Myvi.Hey, does anyone knows how to check my engine's temperature on my PC? Most cars got engine's radiator temp display at dashboard meter.

Added on June 4, 2012, 1:14 amBro, what is shake fist at hard water? Trying out the esp and balance control is it?

shake fist at hard water = me showing my anger at the mineral deposits left behind on paint/window (no, not washing car in sun nor when car is still warm, our water is 'hard water' with alot of minerals) after washing car hehe. Maybe I should get some of this:
ONR No Rinse car wash

Hard water leaves water spots like this on your car:


Of course besides water spots there's also swirls to try and avoid. I guess you could just use a hose with no head attached and let the water flow on the car so it doesn't create droplets and just flows off. I seen people use distilled vinegar to remove the water spots on window but I want to avoid that if I can & I am definitely not using steel wool (micro scratches). Another thing I heard is distilled water or filters for car wash (there are even some specific for cars which do certain stuff like de-ionize) which helps to avoid water spots.. Then there is lambswool, microfiber, sheepswool for washing the car, then dry off with a chamois and follow up the little leftovers with microfiber towel. I want a gritguard too. I seen them selling it for $45RM on the duragloss website, but at the moment I am just going to diy my own similar to the egg crate light diffuser idea but I am going to try a few things different to see if I can make a more effective thing to stop water at the bottom of the bucket from being stirred up.

Apart from that I'm just a little angry that Toyota left some unsightly marks on the hood of my car, I wonder if I can complain about that. I don't know what they did to it, it looks like 4-5 palm sized smudges and washing doesn't make a difference, I hope it's not actually some kind of microscratch or something but I think it can be polished and waxed out.

Earlier I said that the DVD-AVN didn't support my Japanese named/tagged font. When I read the manual it does say that it does support specific types of character codes (Pg.16 of manual) depending on what media you use - for example the MP3/WMA player does the file/folder in unicode/ISO8859-1, artist name/id3 tag in ISO8859-1, UNICODE(utf-8) & UNICODE(utf-16), wma tag in UNICODE(utf-8) & UNICODE(utf-16). I have no idea why it wasn't showing up on mine, maybe different encoding on that file I tried.

I damn like the daylight lo,....==

If that's my ex Vios, I don't think I can overtake it. Hehehe

just reminder

dun obstruct the battery ventilation below ur LEFT rear passenger seat

that day i filling up my car to full, i sort of blocked it, luckily no adverse effect

oh k k. yup. and never put liquid thing near it. my bro in law biggr brother prius got problem when he put 50 cup of starbuck which make the car jolt after the coffee is split to the battery part.

And conclusion is not even toyota technician dare to touch the battery pack and only one person in Malaysia is certified to service it in Malaysia for the battery pack. So be caution always. ^^

Has anyone broken into 1000-1200km range on 1 tank yet? I'm down to 3 bars on fuel gauge left, and I'm at 697km's at the moment with something like 28-30km/L on odo (I will recheck the actual number later).
I wonder what is the most someone has gotten on a full tank.

For anyone in Sabah (or actually anywhere for that matter), can you plot a course that we can follow (using google maps or whatever) and the km/L you got from that trip using trip meter? I think it would be fun to see what everyone gets from taking the same routes. What we could do is something like:

- Destination from Point A -> Point B (as exact as you can, maybe using a gas station or whatever is convenient as a starting point and end point just for the sake of accuracy)
- Weather condition (Hot, rainy, wet road, strong wind, etc)
- Your current tyre pressure front/back
- Whether you were carrying any load/people
- any additional info from Drive info screen (% in EV mode, Avg. Speed, driving time, etc)
- possibly the time of starting your journey just for reference on whether you went at a time when there was heavy traffic or not

In essence it would be like a mileage challenge that users can do for fun whenever they want to gauge their mileage performance and possibly improve on it by using the data from other users as a benchmark.

Is it possible to save/extract my trip log from the DVD-AVN to my SD card for copying to pc so I can let other users copy the trip data to make it easier for them (for those that have it)? Or does the trip log get automatically copied to SD?

@vey99
Lol, yes I've been paranoid about that since day 1, I don't want no fires happening.

As for the gathering, I will be there but in spirit mode (due to geographical constraints).

haha nope.. as he buy to treat his staff for hardwork during closing days. ^^ .

Wow... seem alot of good mileage. ^^ . THink better than my current ride ... im geting 12.85km / liter now ^^ which is almost 7.8liter/100km

Speaking of which, is there an option to change from km/L into L/100km? I see the New Zealand MID is displaying in L/100km like here:


BTW, beck_ken how the heck do you keep your black mica free of water spots?

Out of curiosity, I set the air cond temperature to 24. I still got 31.7km/l for a distance of 20km, only slightly poorer than my normal rate of 32-34km/l for my PJ - Shah Alam trip. Outside temperature was 29C this morning.

I didn't keep cuz i don't wash my car

Wah... EV mode can bump up your mileage that high ar? I mean, just charging the battery to use it is also quite hard here on malaysian roads...

SURE.....park together n take photo...ooooYEAH....

best parking is new taman sea along LDP, behind cash converter.

hainan hometown kopitiam. plenty parking can all park one row (at nite)

hmm i wont use short trips to gauge, i gauge by full tank usage. means i pump full.

then i set trip A to 0

after that when the cruising range is about 20km left, i pump full again.

Then i take the KM travelled divide by litres pumped, and compare wif the MID info.

As a result, on a per tank basis i am getting 21.5 km/L thereabouts.

Nowaday i dun care fc, i just tekan when i feel like it, or when i see honda insight.

Yea. Msia road is terrible. Full of terrain.

Added on June 4, 2012, 3:21 pmPick a nice date bro. Mayb next weekend or how. Late around 5 or 6pm not too warm.

of cos la, after have a run at Cameron, both of cars run more smoother and gear changing also very smooth. A simple press on the accelerator can easily reach 120km/h

Now I wanted to cruise Genting uphill... should be more smoother after coming from Genting
