Still not decide yet whether to do 'hard break-in' or the conventional method . Quite sayanglah to rev it to the red line. Perhaps i will choose the 'intermediate' approach to break-in my engine. I remembered reading somewhere in which other expert said that we not necessarily have to rev the engine to the red line in order to do engine break-in. The trick is to rev the engine long enough at certain rpm where the engine torque is maximum (4300rpm for Forte 2.0) several time preferably with full load (car full with passengers & luggage + hill climbing if possible). Rev the engine where the torque is maximum (with full load) will create enough gas pressure to seal the piston ring for proper break-in. no need to rev the engine to the max according to that expert. To play safe, i think i will use this approach to break-in my engine

TQ. I got the steering wheel K emblem from bro phelix.

I pay RM10 to one guy at Rawang stockyard to replace the emblem. He uses a hard plastic rope to pop out the Naza emblem & use solvent (thinner?) to remove the excess double sided tape gummy & he sticked both front & rear emblem. quite a good workmanship from him. The wheel caps & steering wheel emblem i stick by myself & he also sell a KIA emblem & CERATO wording. But he said, the CERATO wording out of stock already for the time being.

Yup..3 digits 'kapit' no

Nope for my car also..i think they confident enough not to wrap it with plastic due to easy cleaning of the leather seat if it catch the dirt

I got it (it is a cap not sticker) from bro 4te if i'm not mistaken. That time still didnt manage to find the K wheel cap. anyway, i think the KIA wheel caps is not that awkward to use right.

He did it well with no scratch whatsoever. He even removed all the excess gummy before installing a new K emblem. Very satisfied with his workmanship i must say. Unfortunately i didn't ask his name. He's a Malay guy who did the delivery checklist for me

I prefer that way for front I want a front plate to look slim so that it doesn't block the radiator opening on the bumper. Actually i changed both front & rear plate numbers (from standard plate number given by Naza) at the same time when doing the tinting.

Congrats for getting your car 2moro

no special advise i reckon. For me, i just follow the standard checklist provided by Naza. But before u drive off, kindly double check on your engine & transmission oil level, coolant & brake fluid level since i noticed that it is not in the checklist. Also check for body scratch if any. If got an obviously visible scratch or whatever defect, please state in the comment section of the checklist before u sign it.
Then, drive to the nearest fuel station (Petronas is the nearest there) to refuel & to regulate your tyre pressure to 220KPa as recommended. For my car, all 4 tyres initial pressure is +-320KPa before i regulate it to 220KPa

Added on April 4, 2010, 1:27 pmCalled my SA just now to ask him 'the guy''s name. His name is Pawi. luckily not Mawi..hehe

Added on April 4, 2010, 1:37 pmI didn't manage to snap pics at the BK preparation room (at Rawang stockyard) since my view blocked with the BK boxes. However, i took several pics on the inside of the stockyard. Soooooooo many Forte inside there

As what i did, for wheel caps installation, kindly bring along your own suction cup (to suck out the Naza emblem) since that guy (Mr.Pawi) dont have it. Else, that guy have to unscrew all 4 tyres in order to pop-out the stock Naza emblem (time consuming approach i have to say).

As for tinting, choose one that suit your preferences & budget. Dont simply agree with your SA's choice. your money, your choice

Sort of these
Can buy everywhere..cheap stuff make sure it is big enough to cover most of a wheel cap surface...

Guys, me also facing the same problems with almost forte owners here which includes common alignment problem (lean to the left) & door rattling (when riding on an uneven/harsh surfaces of the road)

Got any SC in Klang Valley that can fix this issues?

Hmm..Forte Koup BK..very2 sporty look

Morning..i know..i know. i can sense that Congrats in advance bro

Agreed with u bro..stock one already nice + low enough. If my eyes serve me right, the 2.0 Forte front end looks lower a bit than the 1.6 Forte. Maybe becoz of the 2.0 engine was heavier than the 1.6 engine. & since that my apartment got steep entrance to the parking lot, i need to think twice to install a BK now..scared if the front BK will 'excavate' the concrete floor when going down
