Added on January 23, 2010, 6:32 pmI am using Shell Ron95, thrid tanks dy and not very good result ... i am going to try Mobil for another next 3 tanks and will update you guys accordingly.

BTW, i think its good to record down the average speed also as it reflects the traffic condition

Added on January 23, 2010, 6:34 pmWhat actually causing the delay since the car is already at the dealer place? They want to use it as show unit first? Better call careline and get it asap lo.

Spot the poisons ...



1. Installed the mud guard this morning, got it done by an installer cos do not have the tool to DIY. Just now it was raining in Penang and the mud guard really did a great job
2. No need to mention the Original Forte wheel caps
3. This might be too small to see ... the Kia tyre air valve cap ... Cos the stock one can cover only about 60% and this one can cover up to 95% (for some wheels) and it has a rubber inside to prevent the air from leaking. I got it here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...RK%3AMEWAX%3AIT ... as for the quality, dont expect the sticker to last forever cos the Kia sticker on the key chain was kind of dirty and i was trying to rub it with my thumb and guess what, it came off
4. mmm not really a mod, but got it waxed with anti-static coating (really wish can Glow in Penang, but too bad none here ) and now looks really shinny

Going to get the tools and try to DIY the two level armrest tomorrow to complete my mod before the sharkfin antenna, which should be my final mod at the moment

meaning what? cancel your booking...?

I am also using Shell Ron95 due to i am using Shell Credit card(2.5% rebate) and it is convennient to me compare to Caltex/BHP/Esso but i feel that it is less "power" compare to my first tank, BHP95 which fueled by SA in my first tant.

4te, appreciate that if u can update ur fuel stat for diff brand.

anyone knows any promotion for sierra glow? how much is it?

congrat!!!
at least you have the chassis number, mine from the puchong branch bulu pun tak ada...

Checked my tyre pressure for the first time and indeed the dealer put it at 38Psi instead of the recommended 32.

After dropping it to 32, Cera now sticks more to the road and the steering feels heavier like the Civic. The ride is more comfortable now, but the downside is the car feels less zippy compared to before although I can get used to it.

Is better to check with the branch or dealer you book with .. some might have stock or allocation eg. Ampang branch

else if follow sequence might need to wait in between 1 -3 months

FYI some of us who had book before launch have yet to get their car

guys i did this in preparation for upgrading audio system later on not really to address tire noise as mine is ok. if u are on 17in and have heavy drone noise this is an option. bear in mind once u got lesser noise from the back the front will sound louder. my back road noise is very low now so some of u can try during tt before i continue more areas like doors & front.

2nd batch 1.6s is starting chassis allocation.
X batch 2.0s is starting nothing. Ironically, start stop engine.

Are u sure they r allocating the car soon?
I heard the custom officer still hasnt signed the release doc yet.. ==
Hopefully can get my car on next week.. long waiting period.. sigh!!

Thanks Bro Titarium

I shall check with Ampang branch and other related branch

To anyone who had booked recently, what did your dealer/sa inform ya about delivery?

Thanks again
