He he not yet place my booking.
I waiting for the 2.0 actually.
Solid ah ... emm then i think i will choose silver.
Solid like easily get yellowish.

Not bad!! But quite expensive. After collected my car, may consider some sort of sound insulation package if the sound level in Forte cabin is too high.

i need to install attached LED but as we know item only sell at SG
can i go there to install it? how much SG dollar?
nowadays we still need passport to go to SG or just mykad...?
last been to SG in 1989... hehehehe...
want to drop by if plan to visit my uncle at JB...

here's my bright silver forte filing up at caltex. 2nd full tank of RON95 at RM82.00 for 45.55L.


manage to achieve 6.8L/100km on highway drive. lowest i can get.

just to report on the FC, for 70% highway/30% city drive i manage to achieve 13.33km/L for my 1st full tank of Shell. highway speed varies between 140km/h to 110km/h. keeping rpm between 2000rpm to 4000rpm as recommended.

nice pic bro

nice i like to have forte but still not have decision yet
1.6 or 2.0 hehe

tomorrow i will update what color and cc i have booked

thanks guys for your helpful ideas

Bro, your sound insulation price is too expensive...What sound proof material they quoted?
I had long time didn't check on the sound proof material... Last time i used the extreme dynamat, quality is good...
If need more effect on SQ, better do 2 layers.
Last time i did with my old kenari, 4 doors, roof (2 layers), floor, boot and engine bay+dashboard area(1 layer), total price include material+installation around RM1.8k...
But i got the extreme dynamat with online bulk order.... dirt cheap...
More info, maybe u can check on forum at mycarhifi.com or icehifi.com.
Hope this will help~


Silver color is very nice at Forte~~Esp front headlight..... Congratulation bro!!!

What is the additional weight the car have to carry, for this sound insulation?

Bro, why you so particular about sound proof the Forte?
I found the sound proof from the Forte is nice, if you really into SQ ICE player then sound proof cant be avoided.
Last time, my car sound was did at KF Audio at Jln Ipoh, but now they moved to AmanSuria.
http://www.kfaudio.com/contactus.htm
But i bought my extreme dynamat from online bulk with bunch of gangs....and installed at KF Audio.
Frankly, the KF audio is very good at ICE system, but that shop is very "poisoning".
Need more info about the sound proof, kindly register an account at Mycarhifi forum, then u will get all ur doubt clear.
There got alot of Sifus can help you.

MyFORTE design from me

wow good FC u have there! the lowest avg FC i saw on my car today is 8.7l / 100km... that also because it's on LDP that's not jam. avg speed 80+ only though

with a car this size & weight, i'd be happy if end of the day the avg FC is in the range of 8.5 - 9.0l / 100km... see how it goes after 1st service.

by the way regarding the sticker... where is it gonna be? spanning whole length of the rear windscreen top portion, like 4 inches in height? or just some sort of sticker at one corner?

Does anyone here plan to change 1.6 seat to leather / half leather ?

This post has been edited by sweetpea123: Dec 20 2009, 10:55 PM

2 more designs (with 2 diffnt colors)

Maybe will.. cos my friend is running his own car leather business...
If got the cheap price from him, then i will consider.
