its much faster on the acceleration the the LGT super slow CVT ler..
Interior quality much much better..in fact overall quality and ride forte owns ler.
Lancer's ride to rough..

handling is on par for both of them..
forte is just slightly below civic

just slightly below civic...that's very good already. and i don't see the civic build quality to be very good. in fact i have the opinion that the forte build quality is even better.

THE PAIN!!! I'm guessing it's a stupid useless driver that couldn't estimate the turning and freaking hit my car!!!

Anyone knows a good place to knock and respray?  mad.gif

yr forte is maroon red right? dont bother to spray for that minor scratch. get turtlewax color cure ("red"). should work with all type of red shade.

lolz.. yeah.. must semangat maa..
so far when i ask other members how their mod improve FC, all only talk without details..

looks like i'm the only one who did the review.. and cannot compare with other mod's result..
kinda sad lor.. i want to know also who did VS and how far it contribute in improving FC. coz i haven't fix mine..
if no one give feedback, its hard for me to justify whether it's worth to spend few hundreds ringgit more in VS.
same goes to throttle booster or if just simply change to other rim; how much can save FC... sighhh

as i said. i dont want to waste my money if there's no concrete evidence on the fuel saving. dont just say, at least come with pics and some calculation.

i already got GC from him (not yet install). for VS if not much i could gain, better i do something else. icon_rolleyes.gif

Yup..using VG sharkfin antenna now. It works like wonder for a stock HU (seems like boosting the signal reception), but for those who installed the DVD/GPS HU like me, the FM signal reception will deteriorate a bit..say 10-20%.

Anyway..no doubt the sharkfin looks good on our Forte thumbup.gif

It's finally here been using RS for my previous cars and now Forte version is ready so I fitted them for testing. Initial bite is more but its still very new so will run some hard stopping test after its more worn in. It has more surface contact area than OEM pads so this may help with the bite.
