bc last few days, now alreadi V2 8 pages. 1st TT oso over, saw 1 white forte in puchong yesterday.

done my 1st service in puchong branch cost me RM228.20, free cash wash and vacumm, but i asked not to wash my car just water spray cos just "glow", also ask to check the alignment like fortelover tend to move to left and its free.

oh. so ur next service will be 10,000km also?

i guess it's around the same price then... at the service branches. so for a warranty of 50k km / 2 yrs, hopefully we only need to go to the SCs for 6 times only... if nothing else got problem biggrin.gif

at what maximum rpm that u rev?  brows.gif

me want to rev also after this.. but scared also.. haha..
around 6 or 7, almost red. no need to maintain that rev for long time. it is just similar to the link u sent, accelerated then decelerated. if you want to find a good place to do this, I would recommend MEX high way aka KL-putrajaya high way, indeed toll needed. Since it is straight, less car(especially weekend) and long down hill, you can go all the way to 180km/h easily.

p/s: don't do it at night, got illegal racer sometimes. And be careful smile.gif

haha. thanks for the tips. by the way just use shiftronic just now.. love the engine sound during shifting from 1st to 2nd and to 3rd gear..
kinda miss driving manual car and the sound of the engine.. tongue.gif

still don't dare to rev exceeding 4k rpm as in car's manual break-in process. sweat.gif
coz the link advice to do the hard rev during first 20 miles on odometer.. kinda late if to try now

Autoworld Review

read review above & thinking to downgrade the rim to 16". is it a good choice?
*
From the review:
QUOTE
It was a bright sunny afternoon along the North-South Highway. A W210 Merc E280 was cruising southwards from Tapah, with the speedometer hovering steadily between 140 and 150kph. As the occupants enjoyed the cruise, an unfamiliar looking car was closing in on them, lights switched on and right signal blinking.

It was a sleek-looking car, futuristic even. It maintained a distance from the Benz, patiently waiting for a chance to overtake. A kilometre passed. No reaction. Two kilometres. Nothing. Three, and it went on. After a while, the car behind was moving across the Merc's rear view mirror. From his left wing mirrors, the Merc driver saw the car behind finally making the move to overtake from the left.

It didn't take long for the car behind to pass the Benz, showing in all its glory, the 'NAZA' badge adorning its bootlid. The marketing tagline for the Forte is that it'll leave you speechless. I'm curious if that was the Merc driver's reaction when I had passed him without breaking sweat in what was a 1.6-litre Kia with steel rims and wheel caps.

Ok, that was a bit of a fantasy, but trust me, the Forte is a fabulous drive. It's here, and it's a bargain.

Man... potong stim. dry.gif

There's no way an 1.6L Forte is going to smoke an E280 at 150km/h with ease. When you accelerate at that speed the Gamma would shriek like a banshee.

laugh.gif

Otherwise I'm quite impressed with autoworld's review. It's pretty comprehensive, not as good as Autocar ASEAN's, but miles better than other internet/newspaper reviewers which often sound like a short writeup after a leisure Sunday drive. Actually I'm looking forward to reading how Chips and Dennis Wong would rate the Forte, if it hasn't been reviewed already. I miss the mag... Australian motoring magazines are pretty boring with lots of Holden and Ford muscle cars.

Personally, I don't think it would be a wise choice to downgrade the rims as it's going to cost you more money and probably void your warranty. If the stock wheels need to be changed to accommodate the new 16" rims then it'll cost even more. The 17" wheels may compromise comfort, but with the correct tyre pressure settings the ride is not any more harsh than a Civic.

Saying goodbye to my mate's Civic in a few weeks' time, and welcome Forte. thumbup.gif

Sorry, just check my meters, if not mistaken, it should be 5-6k rpm. not yet 7k, 7k is red zone. I just almost make it red zone.
ofcoz I believe can help. But try it at your own risk. hahaha whistling.gif

its either you get extra 2% to 10% power or not. actually the percentage represents power loss if the break-in process does not perfectly completed.
hmmmm..
