ok2 going to do during 1st service


QUOTE(titarium @ Jun 15 2010, 10:24 AM)
you are referring to your alignment rite ... either get to a SC or a alignment shop to get it fix.

GO to a SC if you suspect your chamber having problem 1 to 1 change, but so far didn't hear any major problem on chamber

btw 90% of our car swerve left when we got the ride
*
glad to know that. lol after fixing the alignment problem, will the car still swerve to the left? rclxub.gif


QUOTE(titarium @ Jun 15 2010, 10:29 AM)
yerp alignment and your yik-yik sound is different

so far 5 have been trace:
1) From acceleration peddle - nothing serious can be fix at SC (I didn't bother about this is something too tiny)
2) front seat - SC can fix it as well (usually during breaking with a heavy body weight)
3) Back seat - going after a bump with passenger (mine happen occasionally but now seems like gone d, fixing back the seat helps too )
4) back absorber - (I have not heard this yet)
5) Seat belt tensioner - (just adjust the seat belt to the middle will do)
*
hmm ok2. will try and update

thanks guys!!! Kia Forte V7 Can Make It! smile.gif

hey guys! went for first service yesterday at Setapak SC and below were the problems i mentioned to them:

1. car pulls to the left
2. check chamber
3.right light higher positioning than the left
4. adjust throttle cable

the service done was quite fast thumbup.gif . took them abt 40minutes to settle everything. and after all the problems settled, the car still pulls to the left but not so obvious sad.gif , lights are better now and pickup damm nice! after the mechanic adjusted the throttle cable, with slight tap the car surge forward! rclxms.gif

after first service went to MRR2 highway wit the slight tap, i din even realize the car was reaching 120kmh with three of my friends whom were big sized. biggrin.gif drool.gif

Giving Setapak SC an A+ for their service. Can Make It!! thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

can i call my SC technician 2 do it?? wat's the effect of adjusting throttle cable?? more power? more responsive??
wat's the advantage and disadvantages of adjusting throttle cable(like engine idling RPM before n after)??
currently my stock 1.6 is at idling 7xx RPM. if it really give a push on the responsiveness, and makes engine feels lighter to push,
then i'll go for it, if the idling RPM increase after rev, i might think bout it.

so, can any1 advice me bt this?? coz i seriously nid makes my 1.6 b more responsive(like accelerate n overtaking)

bro, so far after adjusting the throttle cable, FC on my forte was not affected. plus during idle, my rpm is only at 7XX. it worth the try bro. definitely should get urs adjusted. pick up is more responsive
