QUOTE(Taman Negara @ Nov 11 2010, 11:31 AM) anyone fortezen pls go to Protong showroom to compare forte & walan. Since i yet to see it with my own eyes, i cant comment on Inspira build quality. But specs & price wise..for me Inspira = value for money. Got better specs than the ori Lancer but comes with much lower price tag. I can say that the Inspira is a good & cheaper alternative to Lancer, only that it lacks on its own identity.and post here.t.q. tapi jgn kasi ptotong hah! Comparing with Forte specs to specs, both cars got its own pluses & minuses. If i'm going to buy a C segment 2.0 car for under 100k budget now, i would say it is a tough decision. Inspira is cheaper than Forte by almost 2k but lack of its own identity..so maybe i choose Forte at the end coz i can't imagine my feelings when putting myself side by side to the Lancer at the traffic light...  |

QUOTE(Taipan052 @ Nov 13 2010, 03:53 PM) go back and ask them to remove bout 200~300ml. Check the level of the engine oil first..if exceeded the "Full" mark, ask SC to bleed out some amount of the engine oil to reach it appropriate level. Else your car might feel 'heavy'not good to pour all. i've been advised by branch SC to go back dealer SC and take out the excess. |

QUOTE(XionCity @ Nov 15 2010, 12:29 AM) GPS 90km/h = stock 103km/h Sorry bro, i dont get it either. Both rims are the same in term of size (diameter) & using back the same tyres (i presume u did not do tyre rotation also), but the speedo gives significantly different speed reading..how come? Rotational speed (of the tyre&rim) are related to its radius (or diameter) right? Since there's no change in diameter for both rims (14" in this case), the speedo should recorded the same speed reading for both rims also (provided the same tyres are installed back at the same position as it was on the previous rims + same tyre pressure for both 'experiment'). That's why i failed to understand your above statement (different speed readings). I dont think the different in rim materials will affect the speed reading. Now your data collecting methods & procedures (comparing speedo & GPS speed readings) are highly questionable...Again, no offence...GPS 90km/h = sport rim 108km/h Other experts here please shed some light for third party confirmation (did not want my comment to mislead others if i'm wrong). TQ |

QUOTE(vaio pavilion @ Nov 21 2010, 11:47 PM) Guys, any idea where to get functional sharkfin antenna? 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%.bro Izputra, u using VG? Anyway..no doubt the sharkfin looks good on our Forte  This post has been edited by izputra: Nov 22 2010, 12:23 PM |

QUOTE(vaio pavilion @ Nov 22 2010, 01:33 PM) Bro Iz, how much and where to get it? I joined the second group buy of the sharkfin organised by one of the KiaForteMalaysia.com's member last time. It cost me around RM260 all-in. Few weeks ago got someone in FB also organizing group buy for the VG sharkfin..not sure still open for listing or not. |

QUOTE(XionCity @ Nov 22 2010, 01:48 PM) isn't that like the microcompressor?? increase air ratio pressure into ur engine, result = damage ur engine...m i rite? From my understanding, the TAB got nothing to do with the air pressure. It simply suck in more air (no compression whatsoever) for a lean air to fuel mixture thus providing more complete combustion. But too lean also not good for the engine..so need to adjust the TAB (try & error) until u get the best setting that gives more power with hopefully good FC.Added on November 22, 2010, 3:06 pm QUOTE(Taipan052 @ Nov 22 2010, 02:30 PM) as for the air fuel ratio.. it might damage engine in the long run.. the question is.. how long is long? instantly? 1 month? 5 years? 10 years? Long enough until i sell the car of is good enough for me..say 7 years time..lol. I believe our engine is not that prone to the damage unless we set the air to fuel ratio too lean until your engine knocking (pinging). If no pinging (especially during heavy load or hill climbing), i can safely assume it is safe enough. I consider it worth the risk (if any) for the extra 'kick' that i got..is it true Taipan? hehe..This post has been edited by izputra: Nov 22 2010, 03:06 PM |

QUOTE(mibs @ Nov 24 2010, 06:00 PM) Anyone can update Sierra Glow Price?I`ve read some said RM1400 some said RM700. Is it depends on the package? As far I know there is only 5years package and the difference depends on car size. Kindly contact Mr. Choong of Sierra Glow http://www.sierraglow.com/contact.htm for price update..the price should be less than RM700 for the only package that he offered with 5 years guarantee. No other SG package AFAIK. |

QUOTE(gagilang @ Nov 29 2010, 10:33 AM) As I said, I have spent 5 weeks plus until now still haven't got my car ready. So yesterday I went to the showroom where my car stock located in jb. Guess what ... My car exposes under hot sun n downpour outside the showroom without any shelter. Disc brake and wheel caps got rusted and paints are dirty and full of oily hand marks and shits. And this is what they promised me to keep my car inside while waiting for all the documents. I saw a delivery memo stated it was sent on 8 nov. WTH exposing my car under this kind of weather for more than 20days. I would never treat my car like that. Waste my time. Somemore I purposely went there even downpour and the outlet was closed by the time I reached there around 4pm. I doubt they didn't even open but as I known naza should open their branches 365days. I was getting mad and nag the SA to reject the car as it was like being SM before I saw it myself. Sands are inside rear seats and they are not wrapped properly just like demo cars I saw in other showrooms. I'm fed up already. I recorded my car condition as an evidence and if they gave me other surprise again, I'm going to send it to TTPM and media. I thought of uploading it in YouTube for others awareness but the clip is full of vulgar words I used. It's your right not to get the demo/showroom car. Perhaps u can ask for other unit. But it might drag more on your waiting time...Damn angry now for another delay again. Actually it is a wide practise by the dealers to stock a new car in an open/expose space. I saw other brands dealers (i.e. Proton, Perodua, Nissan & many more) also stored their new cars in an open space while waiting to be delivered. The only think that differs is your dealer promised to place your car at a covered space (since it already reached the showroom) but they didn't keep their promise & to some extent demoing your car to other prospect. In this case, the SA/dealer are to blame. |

The shaking experience is normal due to sudden air pressure drop when a fast moving vehicle/bike passes by especially in close proximity. It is the same thing as why no one are allowed to stand very close to the bullet train railway track (of course not in Malaysia lor). When a fast moving bullet train passes by, u will be 'suck in' towards the train by the sudden air pressure drop. In a car, we feel this 'suck in' phenomena as a sort of shaking. All vehicle will experience this type of shaking to some extent.
