nope...above 65, nothing ald...
juz speed between 40-55/65.....
problem is....the gear shifted to 4th in between, but during gear up or downshift, no jerk....only while cruising...
*
yeap.. only when cruising.. its not jerk because of gear change..

i think 60% highway and 40% city driving.spark plug still standard but my air filter i use k&n drop in air filter.an also i use the MPC devise to protect my electronic part,battery,brighter my HL,audio device, and give more power but less fc use.and also i'm the light foot.....once step the pedal, wait till the speed rise....there i can reach the less fuel consumption....
*
care to share what is MPC device? any link?
is it some sort of voltage stabilizer (VS)?

Bad things happened to my forte yesterday night. Meet up CoolSky in Melaka in preparation for Melaka TT.On the way to Melaka, i step hard the gas pedal averaging between 160KM/H and 170KM/H non-stop. The feeling could not be describe coz driving with full cargasm. At certain point, i do feel something is not right, the car felt like unstable especially during corner.

Reached Melaka late night and nothing else on my mind except to have a nice slumber all night long. I woke up late, bout 4PM and text Coolsky that i'll be late. Then it's when the bad moment started. OMG! what happened to my car? On bright sunny day i clearly can see that the car badly in shape. All four tyres with thread come off. Bumper also fell down a bit from its place. In my mind, thinking of our forte is not good enough for high speed driving and it answers my curiosity on car unstable feeling yesterday. This must becaused of last night driving! Damn!

Text Julz for help. Suddenly he popped out infront of me. With unbelievable reactions, he help me to change one of the tyre with spare one. the other tyres need to change. I'm broke. What should i do?

this is the first time i intend to buy a car.

dear all readers please feel free to share your experiences with the forte.

how’s your experience with your forte to date? i read some comments on problems with forte like car breakdown, pulling to the left, sound here and there, jerking, electronics malfunction, poor resale value seen in the classified the star newspapers such as kia sportage and optima, fuel consumption getting higher after few k km, etc.

i’m a bit worried now. i’m still buying time before i book the 1.6L SX. i'm like standing in the middle of a line. to buy or not to buy. cannot sleep nowadays keep thinking forte and reading business news. whether economy will stabilise or crash. is it the right time to buy now or wait until naza kia offers more discounts and freebies? what would it be by end 2010? forte sales dropped in may while vios increased. will bank interest rate drops by end 2010? will reported quality issues be solved by end 2010 or 2011? could perodua viva be a better choice? half the price?

is the titanium silver looks a bit blue like the Camry? is it not grey? thinking of metal bronze.

hope all your feedback will help me to clear some doubts.

thank you.

FC is superb for C-segment car and FC lower when clocked more mileage

where got forte sales drop for month of May (only brand position drop). Just the sale is stagnant at 546 units same like in April.

what does it means? coincidence or quota given by Korea for naza to import and re-assemble back is just 546 units only?

Something very very sad happened.

My car which is only a month old got banged from the back on saturday. Some more in front of a traffic light which has only 3 cars.

My heart ached until cannot say out sigh...

Although from outside only a few scratches (the bumper very geng, will come out by itself) but the bonnet already went in a bit. My rear lights are not aligned now.

Sigh~~~~~
*
sad to hear that mate. the bumper is solid one. but the impact must be great coz the rear lamp are not aligned.
have sent to SC for repair? any pics to share?

i already FFK you! hhahahaha.. at hometown now bro. cannot avoid. got urgent things to do.

hmmm

btw, it's time for FC update. long time never calculate..
soooo.. with rm50 i can clock 400KM (80% hiway 20% city) (KL-Melaka-KL-Temerloh) journey for today.
means i could clock at least 700KM(for full tank) if 100% highway.

good or not? tongue.gif

mixed driving style, sometime slow sometime fast.

the only mod that i did is to use Simota air filter (cotton).
