my break-in style
1 - 250km < 3rpm
251 - 500km < 4rpm
501 - 750km < 5rpm
751 - 1000km < all the way to redline
need to perform in 'manual' mode otherwise difficult to achieve... and don't static at above rpm for a long time... need to vary...
old road is good for practise... karak hway/cameron/genting/fraser also recommended...
i realized when i got the car, the engine was a bit noisy (maybe the engine still tight)
after managed to hit 5rpm, the engine now quieter than before... maybe all the components have been loose
this weekend will push to the limit... MEX hway... here i comeee...

yo bro... 1k km already... mine just 750km... try to complete it by this weekend so next week can go for 1st service...
collect same time & date with u, so far still no issues... still searching for the sound but coudn't find one...
guess i'm lucky except alignment...
check my tyres... 3 ok 1 terbalik... and i can hear noisy almost from that tyre terbalik...

wow dulu above the eye, now extend until tepi hidung pulak...

hahaha... i still unmanaged to reach that speed la... need to wait until school holiday balik kg...
now just play zig zag with manual... ok la gear 2 can reach 6k rpm...
feel like younger again... 18 years old... kekeke...

eh esok tanyakan SC... gearbox oil mau tukar juga ke on 1k km service... tq

can i change only 2 tyres at the back since noisy more came from back?
can we fit 225/45/r17?

agreed...
i dun understand why speed limit only 110km/h...

no... i mean use 225/45/r17... maintain the 17" rim...
u of course can fit coz has changed to 18"...

yup... normally i shift to N while driving when approaching a red traffic light...
so car will mengelungsur... sap sap suiiiiiii...

agreed... now i'm so lazy to take out the 'key' from the pocket...

tailed 1 silver EX forte with K emblem near exit putrajaya tol towards to elite this afternoon (around 5.45pm)...

not 100% settle but at least improved from earlier...

before :
a) airbag indicator always 'on'
b) alignment to the left... to the left...
after
a) 100% solved
b) alignment 99% solved

for me alignment is so subjective (depends on the road condition)... but after has been fixed by mr arul, at least improved although not 100%.
before :
pull hands off from steering, straight away steer to the left
after :
pull hands off from steering, still in a straight around 50m before turn to the left or right... ok la tuuu... maybe road conditions... (kalau nak hands off from steering until 10km, kena install 'knight industries two thousand' punya ECU la pulak...)

how about "Knight Automatic Roving Robot"...?

mine after 3 times full tank always get 500km for 45 liter... manual calculate not by the auto one...
so around 1l/11km... city driving... 70% shiftronic, 30% auto...
unable to test FC on hway since need to wait to balik kg at kedah during next school holiday...

until today my car still not tinted bcoz of above issues...

of course not la... but must change the gear oil follow the schedule la... every 20k km...

selling via SA is not fully recommended...
today talk lain, bila nak collect new car talk lain...
trust me, better sell direct to they buyer w/out thru SA...

i dapat kalendar je... frust betoi...
give me the shirt for free la... my size is XXL...
