do you have one (iphone 4 with bumper)? must try.. coz not many owners have iphone.. new iphone 4 summore..
if got only a few and not so many active in LYN. they're more active in MFC portal..

u afraid ip4 not compatible with forte HU & cable or is it just the bumper?
the bumper is not just a plastic cover?

eh.. i tot your nick purposely created for forte.. hahaha
if buy city you should change to citeh.. hahaha.. just kidding bro

because only butthurt dugong owner interested to compare.
maybe they wanted to feel that their purchase is justified and feel relieve with that.

if you notice, other owner in city, lancer, altis and civic never bother with that.

hahaha.. avanteh!
if i were you, and new avante is here, i think im gonna get avante also.
but still dunno when it will reach our shore.
more or less another one year i guess.

haha.. i like that analogy..
hot = yes (still smokin hot with nice curve and nice ass)
mysterious = yes (dunno on resale value and reliability with malaysian climate but for rest of the world seems okay)
high maintenance = hahaha.. if you give good and regular service, pamper her, and try your best to look around for same quality makeup with lower price its not high maintenance at all..

same goes to avante, since its korean car, you'll ended the same dilemma in choosing one.. another smokin hot gf that every man dream off. lolz

Added on October 8, 2010, 2:17 amjust came back from test drive (after 30K service last monday and yet havent test drive until today). feels that the iridium does give extra kick.
idling rpm and rpm at 110KM/h slightly lower than usual (just a little bit - because previously I always check rpm and speed on daily basis).

hope it can give better FC due to lower RPM.

does anybody else notice the same? or it's just me that perasan? hahahaha

problem? nothing much.
quite a bunch of owners also already hit 30K marks

Most problematic one is alignment
1) can be fix but not 100% (car will sway to the left after some time). this one stock condition, no change anything just play with the tuning
2) i've change the camber nut (cost me rm120 for both front). This is not advisable as it will void warranty. To play safe, ensure u keep the stock camber nut. So far so good better then stock condition.


Other than that sometime cannot switch on the engine due to brake sensor is not detected
1) Only happened twice so far
2) It was caused by the sensor. Usually i press brake with minimal force. If things like this happened, must press the brake harder.
3) If still cannot switch on by pressing the button then probably the sensor stuck. You must pull out the small little white thing behind the brake. After that maybe go to SC and ask them to put extra lubricant (maybe the lubricant not enough to prevent it from stuck due to wear & tear)

lol. motorbot? jk.

i've read before and you said the SC give u 5w-40 grade engine oil? others mostly stick to 5w-30 grade. maybe related? no?

SC depends. some okay some not. same to dealer SC. but from experience, they're improving over time.
as for problem. no major problem. only tiny miny little issue like yik yik sound due to seat belt or seat and exhaust. all can be resolved one.

Added on October 9, 2010, 11:19 amdon't you think this apply to all car? if need upgrade then others also should upgrade? or if its ain't broken do not fix?

hmmmm.. dont think the facelift will be here anytime soon.
they have this model in lineup but still dunno the progress

1) Soul (being displayed but no launching date yet, maybe cancel?)
2) Forte Koup (heard end of 2010 only launch, still a rumor)
3) Forte Hatchback? (no news, no rumor, maybe will not be here)
4) Facelift Forte (with GDI engine)

epo,

have you check with SC and what they say? don't think its normal. its kinda loud like motorboat engine sound.

how much is magnatec's price? full or semi?

if you play MP3, your speechless moment will be doubled up!!!

no need mod on audio. unless you're really into ICE mod.

bass gao laa.. got option power bass (by default it was turned ON with highest setting). and Auto volume with speed option.

RX8 dont say la.. hahaha...

wow. 2.9% for how many years? must big downpayment there

and you're in dilemma again?

its absolutely normal. the engine still tight.
expect FC improve after 4K and above.
you also haven't done your 1K service yet.

when u send for 1K service, ask them to adjust throttle cable.
