but how many owners willing to start their engine and run for 2 hours? hmm.. hmm.gif

No la bro, just park the car under the sun for 1 - 2 hours (turn off the engine) while we minum TT ... then only start the engine and time the auto aircon drops to 6 bars, 3 bars and 1 bar ... i think it should not take more than 10 mins to test ... if there is already a huge difference for 6 bars and 3 bars, then no need to wait till it drops to 1 bar lor since the result is clear already smile.gif

cos tinting is one of the most expensive mod that we spend or plan to spend on, so just to want to make sure that it is worthwhile since our Forte already comes with the stock tinting biggrin.gif

Anyone interested in getting the original KIA Forte wheel cap (as shown in the attached photo and a set of 4 pieces) to replace the Black NAZA wheel cap? I have managed to negotiate for a lower price if we buy 10 sets or more:

Less than 10 sets: RM145
10 or more sets: RM125

The price above is COD and please add RM6 for PosLaju.

Those interested:
1. 4te
2. lingwu
3. blitzdotcom
4. uputra81

This goup buy will end on 6th Jan 2010.

Good news for those who are interested, I managed to further push down the price to RM125 per set (4 pieces) COD and please add RM6 for PosLaju smile.gif

For those from Penang or prefer COD, the earliest date for COD is 22-Jan-10 (Friday) and I will Poslaju out all those from outside Penang on 23-Jan-10 (Saturday).

The price above is for 15 sets and I will be buying the balance (if we cannot get 15 sets by tomorrow) and I will sell them to whoever interested after this group buy, but of course at a higher price cos dont think there will be a 2nd group buy smile.gif

you can check out the spec here
pricing wise the crystal with 6 mil of film... upgraded from 5 mil to 6 mil cost RM1900, diamond more expensive @2700 if im not wrong
crystal  4mil also got @ cheaper price but i didnt ask them hehe
well, there are others that provide higher heat rejection rate too for LLumar.... but dont take IRR as a measurement, take the overall one which is TSER

I will be going for Wingard Royale tint with TSER 60% and same as Diamond with 10 yrs warranty but a lot cheaper (even cheaper than Crystal)... let me test and update you all on the performance biggrin.gif

Talking about subsidy ... this is really crap ... what if someone bought a 2nd hand 10yrs old Perdana ... say at RM35k and dont get any subsidy as compared to those who bought a brand new full specs City at RM90k ... who is supposed to be subsidised here? There is no correct answer, the person who bought the Perdana might be earning RM20k per month while the City driver might be earning RM3k a month or vice versa.

Imagine ... if 1.6 and below get subsidy and above dont and if the same government continues to rule the country for another 10yrs, my 1.6 Forte might fetch a higher resale value as compared to 2.0 Forte cos of the subsidy after 7-8 yrs biggrin.gif

This is really simple ... keep the subsidy for petrol, sugar, etc and increase the highest bracket income tax and not to reduce the highest bracket income tax like what they did for the past two years. Aren't they supposed to act like Robin Hood, "rob" the rich and help the poor? Sigh sad.gif

I can feel additional coating on top of original paint, I can easy to remove all the dirty dot and dust by soft touch or water spray.

Aiyoh, why dont come to Penang cry.gif ... Penang has none at the moment and its a very good opportunity for Mr Choong (if you are readying biggrin.gif )

BTW, after "glowing" are we allowed to use soap (even if it is not required) to wash the car? will the soap affect the coating?

I hear many people tell me Naza-Kia spare-part damn hell expensive and most Naza-Kia few years after may get many problem and expensive repair cost with sometime problem also cannot be solve it.
I plan buy the Naza-Kia Forte 1.6L, but above is the problem ...
*
Well, it depends which brand/car that you compare with ... if you compare Wira vs Spectra, then Spectra is expensive ... I changed my Spectra headlight (original) and it costs me RM400 (with installation) each ... Wira i think you can get a headlight less than RM200 ... my brother changed his Wira's signal light and it costs RM25 only tongue.gif

I would say that the cost of the spare parts (based on my experience with Spectra) would be cheaper than T & H (same segment).

It depends, if you are from Penang, the Sungai Pinang SC is highly recommended. I got battery terminal problem (loose) and got it fixed there in the morning (within an hour, with fixing alignment and top up coolant). In the afternoon I got a follow-up call from the boss and he called again the next day afternoon to follow-up and make sure that everything is ok rclxms.gif

History
- Daily task reporting in LYN & AW daily following news on Forte for weeks.
- Check out the Forte 1 day before Launching at the showroom
- Booked the 2.0SX on the Launching Day paying RM2000 booking fees, SA saying car will be available in December.
- Overjoyed that its finally here and I am the 2nd person booking in that dealer branch meant when they have the car with matching color.. I am the first / second to get it.
- Followed by anxious and frustration for the next 1 month of wait, call, disappointment, uncertainty... and depress. ( I am the type of person that do not like to wait long for things that I am buying )
- Finally decided to cancel the booking on Dec 23rd after SA and Carelines telling no 2.0SX in coming 6 months time.
- followed by mixed feeling after cancellation for the whole week especially numerous rumors / sources stating starts delivery in Jan 2010, car is at PK.. and also.. hopes as SA promised as long as I didn't collect my refund check, I can still get the car when they are available for delivery.

5 mins ago, my phone rang and for the first time, I saw my SA's name appear on the caller ID ... what came across my mind is the car is Here !!. And from the phone.. he is telling me that I can come and collect now. When I asked him collect car ? he said.. nope, your refundable booking fees cheque is ready.

So.... Officially Bye Bye to Forte. I shall missed you especially when I bump onto one on the road, in the parking lot in future thinking.. I am that close to own one myself.


Added on January 8, 2010, 6:36 pm

You are very right, the Forte 2.0 will be more powerful for the power to weight ratio.. I am also small family of 2 only tongue.gif

Really sorry to learn that its final bro, i thought that you might still have slight chance of getting your Forte 2.0. All the best to you and your new D cawan, ops i mean D-segment ride ya smile.gif

I think our government is so smart, sure will have a device at the petrol station where you can slot in you MyCard and scan your tumb print and it will validate whether it is your or a valid MyCard and next the system will link to JPJ database and check all the cars that you have registered and base on the highest CC car that you have registered determine the petrol price. The system will limit you from using your MyCard once an hour so that no one would stand at the petrol station to profit from pumping petrol for 2.0 and above cars whistling.gif tongue.gif
