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

If i were to book Forte 1.6 (SX) end of next week (after wednesday), when is the approx time i can get this car?
Be it Alor Star, JB and KL

Any brothers got any information on delivery duration?

Thanks in advance.

I think this is a tough question, as the delivery date is uncertain at the moment.

2) AutoFoam C pillar treatment.

the Cure for Resonance and Drone. Simple test..be a back passenger for 5 mins.

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.

Bro, what is the damage for the above SP? it reduce the tire/road sound by around how many percent?

Met up with 4te twice today.. first to molest his Forte since I didn't able to get one myself.. i meant admiring his DIY on the Forte and also checking out his tint.. and followed by later meeting him again in the late evening at the tint shop.

Thanks to 4te on the tine recommendation as I personally didn't really do much comparison and suddenly need to do one.

[/quote]

Thanks a lot bro, but let me know what do you think of the tint after testing it for a few days ... cos i am going to negotiate with my friend to give all the members here, FB and FM the special price and without any time limit (no need pay deposit whatsoever)

2 days 300KM ... thats really a lot bro for someone from Penang!

After 1 solid hour of DIYing ... finally got the two level armrest installed



The leather or feel on the two level armrest is slightly harder (thinking of wrapping it with additional layer of leather to make it softer) than the stock one and it is slightly higher (around 1cm), which is just nice for me as I feel that the stock armrest is slightly lower. If you have lots of small things to keep in the car, this is a very good solution as the top compartment is quite big and the bottom compartment can still fit a CD height with some room to spare





If you are interested, please PM me for the contact of the Singapore seller. If you are wondering how hard is it to DIY, well a lot harder than changing emblems cos a lot of screws to remove and screw back and many are in tight areas and you have to screw some upside down ... but its really worth it if you are used to putting keys and etc in the top compartment of your previous car

Hahaha not DIY king la ... never DIY before until i got my Forte ... i think its my love towards the car ... am thinking of next DIY might be the front door courtesy light ... saw it when i was in singapore, very bright and nice ... BTW, anyone here did that already?

bbear, i thought u showed me ur armrest got two levels? must be your car too nice till i

So Sugen how much did u get those from ebay?

[/quote]

Its USD3.99 if i am not mistaken ... but please bear in mind that it doesn't fit our Forte wheel cap cos the size is 55MM and our wheel cap is 59MM.

If you are thinking of getting sticker, i would suggest you go for that one Kia Forte is selling, looks cleaner and can cover the whole wheel cap
