Bro, actually i am interested in sound proofing also, but the installer will have to remove a lot of parts to install the insulator and of course after tinting, no budget for sound proofing anymore

If you plan to go down to KL to glow your Forte, maybe you can do the wheel ache and door sound proof at autofoam in KL, which costs around RM1k. Sorry dont know any installer in Penang.

Bro phelix, you have a record to break hehehe

I will be going for my 1st service this saturday, according to the service booklet, the next service would be 5000KM and then 10000KM. If i were to use fully synthetic oil, do i need to go back for 5000km service? or should I just follow the booklet and use mineral oil?

I know a few here are using fully syn oil, is there any difference?

Good news to all those who participated in wheel cap group buy ... I have managed to remove the wheel cap DIY without scratching the rim one bit and it took me 10 seconds to remove one ... cost is RM4.99 on the suction hook (3 x hooks, but you need only one and can use them at home after removing the wheel caps ), which i bought from Parkson. It is really simple, just press and pull and its out ... anyway for benefit of all, i will come up with a proper DIY instruction once i get the wheel caps



For those from Penang or prefer COD, you no need to buy the suction hook cos i can just "suck" all the caps out for you when i pass the caps to you if you dont mind

Bro, can please put their forum name on each of them ... cos really want to know who is who lor

The NAZA wording is actually a sticker pasted on a grey colour plastic wheel cap.



i dont think you want to just remove the cap and leave what inside the cap expose unless you really want to be very unique and outstanding ... as requested here is the photo without wheel cap:

Added on January 12, 2010, 11:14 pmActually i tested a few methods ... my friend from SG told me that they use small metal ruler, but it will leave small scratches, i tested the method but failed. I tried to use the small screw driver (the one to fix glasses) but failed too. Last Saturday when doing the tinting my fren's dad actually owns a tire shop right beside the tinting shop, so i checked with the worker and he said must remove the whole tire and i asked him to show me how to remove from a demo rim and he just used his finger to poke from the inside, so i was thinking maybe can just suck it out with the suction hook, which is not expensive and some might already have it at home, and it works hehehe

Happy DIYing to all when you get your wheel caps

Bro, got any difference between mineral and full syn from your 1st 1000 and after service?

I am testing shell 95 for the first 3 tanks and next will be Caltex and follow by Esso and Petronas ... and hopefully can find the best fuel for our Forte

BTW, are you using 97 or 95?

bro, i think you are the first to get the gift ... i played the puzzles game on the first day and am the first 500 units and never get also ... maybe i called and complained too much and got listed in the problematic customer list

wahlau, giving you free sucking already and you are asking for more ah hehehe

The white definitely looks better ... not to mention the long license plate and KIA emblem which add a few more points on the look

Bro, Parkson, Gurney Plaza cos i am from the island

Anyway, you can buy any suction cup/hook, but must not be too small and of course not bigger than the wheel cap then it should work. I prefer hook cos you can use the hook to pull it out and of course the one i found fits the size and bill perfectly (was looking for suction hook that is not more than RM5)

Actually i bought a sticker too, pretty cheap on eBay (i think i did share with the rest in V1) ... a bit too small to cover the whole wheel cap, but since i bought it already, might as well use it to cover the NAZA word temporary while waiting for my caps. It looks quite ok, but it lasted for 1 week after a few days of heavy rain (one cap half fell off) and of course it doesn't fit the wheep cap nicely, so i pulled out all.

Wow, its really a steal if you dont mind second hand ... but have to check and make sure accident free la

BTW, i thought Forte is selling like hot cakes in Malaysia and 3 months waiting list and possible price increase ... why they are selling the test drive unit so cheaply ... i thought Forte should fetch a higher resale value

Sorry bro, i will be giving one to the 1st person who joined the group buy and paid up and keeping two cos going to suck for all the Penang kaki (unless they are not willing la ) and afraid one might spoil and need one for backup

If you dont mind to wait, i can give it to you after all the sucking is completed cos i dont use that at home anyway and will not need to replace the wheel caps anymore after installing the original Korte caps

Sorry bro cos didnt know u r buying too ... maybe the one you get is better quality. Mine is Made in China and only USD3.99 including shipping ... so i dont expect much

I think cos the size doesn't fit the cap (smaller than the wheel cap), so water can go into the double side tape or the double side tape is not strong enough or maybe just the one that I got is defective (so cheap and made in china, what you expect right ). Since u bought it already, can give it a try and if it fits nicely to the wheel cap, i think it will last longer lor

I thought u were going to say PINK (Red + White ma hehehe)

Bro, the KIA emblem is using thick 3M double side and very strong indeed ... impossible to remove it with your hand and no to worry about the water ... the double side tape that the wheel cap sticker is using is no brand and very thin type, which i think not that good quality. Actually when i peel off the other 3 stickers, they are quite tight but of course nothing close to the 3M tape la cos use fingers kau tim already
