as i expected..not enough speed..that's why it failed to upshift to final gear beforei

Very2 nice..but quite expensive lor How come type 1 is cheaper than type 2 meh though it got 2 in 1 capability (DRL + turn light)? I prefer type 2 actually but i wish it got a turn light also

Oohh..ok. So, the cheaper one (type 1) is China made right? Anyway, type 1 is definitely more awesome but i'm quite sayang to forgo the fog lamp though...

Bro..i'm getting less 'pahala puasa' everyday simply by staring at your avatar

I will balik this weekend but not with my car..by bus instead. Will drive my car home for a raya trip in less than 3 weeks time

ps : bro epo, bila u mau balik raya?

wei bro..tak tukar air filter ka? 20k service should tukar air filter..unless u use the simota or k&n filter

Added on August 9, 2011, 12:27 ami should arrive there at night on 26/8. Maybe will stay at alor setar until 28/8 before going back to perlis for raya. See how it goes that time

Tukar Simota SS air filter bro..baru layan. Lps ni tak pyh tukaq trus air filter..hehe

Welcome to the club bro

Aku baru pakai 9 bulan lebih. Still as good as new as of now. Less air restriction = low pumping loss = more usable power

I drive no cucuk2 one..drive like uncle only..autocruise at 110-120km/h

but less pumping loss = more usable power ==> whole world knew it's proven

First batch 4 speed 2.0SX CBU..same as mine

Added on August 10, 2011, 11:46 amErrr..does acceleration got anything to do with lowered car? I cant see a significant connectivity between these 2 parameters

I think it is just a feel only..when we sit lower, we tend to feel the car moves faster. Is like when u sit in a bus & in a car..at the same speed, u will feel that the bus speed slower than the car speed (though both vehicles move at the same speed) coz u seat higher in the bus as compared to a car

Aiyaa..For me, the main purpose of using Simota is for more engine efficiency + no need to change air filter anymore after this not for cucuk2 one..hehe

& i'm more than happy if u wanna do the UAT for the Simota..no harm done

Hahaha..tak pakai kaki pun bro..autocruise jer

Aku balik naik bas jumaat ni..ko offer lambat..aku dah beli tiket

Hmmm..stability got nothing to do with acceleration right? Lowered Forte can accelerate noticeably faster than a standard Forte?..i dont think so but in term of aerodynamics..YES. But again, my keyword is 'SIGNIFICANT'..is by lowering your car for say 2 inches will give a significant improvement aerodynamically especially for a low speed acceleration say 0-100km/h (where the wind drag are small enough) until u can actually feel a significant 'push' in acceleration? Hmmm..for me, lowering car for more stability = YES but for a noticeably improvement in acceleration = NO..it might slightly improves the aerodynamics but not to the extend that u can actually feel it in term of acceleration (again..for a low speed acceleration)

Yaa..not going to flame anyone..but just stating the facts from my understanding. Any claim should be backup with facts or at least with some sort of test by a third party. i doubt by lowering a car by a couple on inches will cut out even 1 second of a century sprint test...

Happy waiting bro & welcome to the club

Yupp..changing to smaller rims & tyres will do good to tyre/road noise

I manage to get around 6.1-6.3L/100km for the 110km/h highway drive (autocruise). Mine 2.0 4 Speed. How come the 6 speeder is hungrier than the 4 speeder? Perhaps..your car is still new..not fully 'deflowered'

Sorry for late reply bro. Already promised my friend to play bdminton last night..so cannot join TT. TT at Alor Setar later perhaps

Around 2.5k..still without the reverse camera with that price i believe. Need to add on the camera separately (means extra cost) if u need it.

Current Forte already facelifted at the end of last year. If KIA follow the 5-year rule to come up with the all new Forte..it should be on 2013 i believe.

Forte was introduced in Malaysia less than 2 year ago. I guess it is too short in term of time to judge its resale value. But, the rule of thumb is, high demand car should fetch better resale value. i think u can clearly see that the Forte demands is much better than previous car it replaced..so do your own judgement

& if u worry so much about the resale value..by all means please go for T&H
