I did mentioned earlier, Koup & Soul are not for mass selling. these are meant for branding purpose..

ya.. Koup will be sold as CBU.. but SOUL? i tot for mass selling..
even they had showcase the SOUL in the curve and pavilion before.. and futsal with Soul too..

i see those as part of the branding strategies..
i just shared what the Branch told me. cheers!

sell as much forte 2010 as you can, then later Forte facelift will come in Pass by FS trading ampang point, "Jualan besar besaran akhir tahun" Anyone know what special selling point they have?

kia optima looks promising..

haha looks like quite a few MyForte Army at Inspira vs Forte thread .... find one day will go test drive Inspira and let's have a fair comparison.

errr... guys u sure they will bring forte facelift?
look at peugeot 206... still.....206

Kisah Benar

1) 70% City + 30% Highway driving
2) Mixed driving style (30% heavyfoot + 70% lighfoot)
3) BHP RON95
4) Forte 1.6SX
5) Mileage 35K KM

Total Mileage Clocked


Distance To Empty (DTE)


Fuel Consumption (ODOmeter)


Average Speed


Total Hour Traveled


If i take average 44L when we fill up the full tank (right after the empty tank light up), basically the calculation will be

1) 589.1KM/44L = 13.4KM/L
or
2) 1L/13.4KM * 100 = 7.46L/100KM

Then compare with ODOmeter reading.. it's much pretty accurate isn't it?
But wait i fill up full tank tomorrow okay and will re-calculate on actual Liter/Full tank used.



Disclaimer: The above review solely on Forte. In average, I could only get 530~550KM per full tank for the same driving condition before installing IceCube Combo (TAB + PBTE). Improvement on FC is not guaranteed. This review only applicable to my forte. Other cars or forte maybe could not get the same figure as above. After 4 full tanks I could say improvement of at least 50KM extra for my full tank mileage.

ur ride is 1.6 or 2.0 forte?

1.6SX

btw please read the disclaimer. just added.

It's only me or what, but I feel Optima and Forte are so lookalike

Come on, Abang and adik....for sure lookalike. Another 3 big brothers, new sportage, K7 and sorento plus little brother, incoming rio...all designed by team PS...

hmm, the FC is very good, at least 10% more efficient then mine. what is the total damage of the mod ?

fuiyoh taipan, awesome FC......

oh hows ur headlamp btw? got a replacement bulb?

Hi Bro, good result...since u installed both TAB + PBTE..which 1 u think is better mod if only to choose either 1...

Re:autofoam vs ultra racing bar

I did this just to answer the question posted by members whether to do Autofoam or UltraRacing bars... hope it will help you all to make a proper decision. IMO best to have both.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Want to have better handling? If you have done full Autofoam just add Front Strut Bars + Rear Anti-roll Bar. If you don't have Autofoam use Front Strut Bars + Rear Anti-roll Bar + Rear Boot Strut Bar.

I am using Autofoam to negate the stress force to center of chassis its like an invisible roll-cage hence by adding front & back bars will have good effect on ride & handling.

WARNING! setup superb for 16" Forte but for 17" Forte without Autofoam will have a bit harder ride.

if 2.0 SX i'm sure the fuel consumption will be better then ur installed components....
