i see, thanks alot
that's exactly what i wanted to know

no problem. getting ur ride soon?

want to know..i'm getting new car soon..heard alot of ppl say if want to make sure the car can last, for 1st 1000km we shd not speed more than 100km/h , its that true?

any tips to newbie like me ? Thanks in advance!

yeah, hopefully can get by next week

Got 2 different methods..feel free to choose which one to apply

1. Conventional Method

2. Controversial Method

forte 1.6 can modify in the 2.0 version engine?

just shift it to another position , just a resonance - vibration from the car

cnt.....the closest i think also 1.7x...almost 1.8.....but chances of damaging ur engine block is very high..
so, no point....in order to achieve 2.0 power, as well add soft turbo/supercharge it....
but definitely will void warranty...

most of us follow half way then RAM all the way

done that..haha.

Engine break in.there is reference on page 1i think

ye ke... alamak viva adik i baru 7 bulan dashboard dia pun dok gegaq dahhh...

what i mean is replacing the 1.6 gamma engine with 2.0 theta engine. will it fit?

1.6 gamma with soft turbo sound ok too, how much to add soft turbo?

Buy a 1.6 and change to 2.0 theta engine!? why don't u just buy 2.0??

thanks all sifu for the tips

i agree with Adin...y nt juz buy 2.0??
that's not call change....that's called swap engine....
yes, can.....no problem....but i rather get 2.0 model instead of swap engine....
soft turbo? dunno the price...

I hv queries regarding our forte anti-glare rear view mirror.
I noticed that when the mirror turns blueish, it's working.
Anyone know on what condition only will the sensor detect and activate the anti-glare function?
As for mine, during daytime driving, it rarely turn blue while most of the time remain as per normal.
night-time not sure whether it's working.
Is this normal?

it can be solved actually. i just lazy to go SC just to check. coz the sound is intermittent and i dont want to spend unnecessarily on labor charge if cannot reproduce the sound. but i know where it comes from and probably can be DIY.


seatbult bucket sound is not a problem!
aiyo.. why worry on small-small things? just put the bucket in the middle.

no need approval. the SA is just trying his luck (coz commission involved here).
we can use our own insurance choice, and bank.

just for the sake of modification for certain car enthusiast.
for some more money in the future, as at the present time cannot afford.
nothing wrong in my opinion..

if you tint your rear windscreen it will block certain amount of light. so the sensor wont detect and activate the anti-glare function. i notice this after the 1st time install tint. on certain condition when the car is near and the headlight is bright it will activate them. before tinted, car's from far away also the sensor will activate. hope u get what i mean.

1600 to 1800 claim is highly boastful for those in automotive mechanical background will understand what i mean.... anyhow will test the clown's one & see hahahaha...

mine is a spectra5 actually , no 2.0 version offered in malaysia. 2.0 only in USA market.

if they share the same mounting, and everything else is same, then i can swap with 2.0 lo ..

btw, wat the thing 1.6 tuned to 1.8? mini kompressor?
