Bro sham..long time no see. Still keep changing your rims?

Actually i'm interested to buy this 1:18 model car..but only if metal bronze color are available..haihh

I assume u owned a Forte SX. Keep your tire to recommended pressure at 220KPa..if it is still bumpier for u, perhaps u can pressurize it a bit lower to 210KPa. Dont keep your tire pressure far below that recommended figure for the sake of the rims & the tires itself. If that also feels bumpy, perhaps u need to change to high profile tires of 205/55/R16 (of course u need to change your rims too)..that should do the trick

GDi?..Proton???

Bro Xion..i think u are confusing between Multi Point Injection & Gasoline Direct Injection. Please do more reading to differentiate between this two types of fuel injected engine

I cant related this statement with Proton having GDI engine

Dont simply 100% believe what others say in the forum..sometimes, it is better to do our own reading from a trusted source

Again bro Xion, I think u already confuse between MPI (which Proton use it now) & GDI (which AFAIK, yet to be used in Proton's current production cars). Putra is an old car..i bet that it used MPI

I have to say that it is partly your mistake also coz u believe him/her 100%. I'm usually will refrain myself from talking or giving comments if i didnot know the topic very clearly..else i might ended up confusing myself & others who read my comments

Kami laki bini org perlis..so klau boleh dok belah2 utara tu memang bestlah. Yupp..kat sana lebih sesuai utk besarkan anak2..aku setuju

What say u when looking at these pics? : http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1...15.171251799797 It is truly CKD now i guess..just not sure whether parts are mostly imported one or locally manufactured one.

Forte that are declared as CBU unit used a 'K' chassis number originated from its assembling plant in Korea & it applies to the 1st batch Fortes mostly.

CKD Forte instead used a 'P' chassis number originated from a Gurun assembly plant at Kedah..no other meaning as far as K & P is your concern.

Quality? only time will tell. The oldest Forte is about 1.5 year in age in Malaysia..& that's for the completely CBU Forte..so it is quite early to judge in term of quality especially for a CKD one

Mostly due to brake switch problem (not the start/stop button itself) & some cases are due to loose battery terminal connection. Since that the current Forte got 5 years warranty, i think u should consider it as a piece of mind. The part (brake switch) might take sometime to arrive (if no ready stock) but the car still can be started anyway using an alternative method without pressing the brake.

Already use my car for almost 1 year 2 months now..the smartkey battery still doesnt show any lack of signal transmission as of now

Perhaps u can consider this one

Yupp..it's me. The damage is quite a minor one..not damaging any of the 4 reverse sensor & the bumper is still structurally intact. How's yours? is the reverse sensors working fine for all 4 of them? Any bumper misplacement that might indicate broken hook? If the hook broken, u might end up with replacing with a new bumper (which is more expensive than repairing) to make sure it will attach to a car body firmly.

About 3 years back, my wife's car got hit on the door (hit & run). I've asked around for a good 'knock shop' to do the repair. I end up sending my wife's car to one Malay 'knock shop' at Old Klang Road, KL. I have to say that the workmanship is good & the price is reasonable but they took quite long to do such a minor repair (about a week if i'm not mistaken) due to many cars. This 'knock shop' located at a very isolated location & at that time makes me wonder how on earth this guy survive doing this kind of business there. But after seeing their workmanship + reasonable price, i say to myself "no wonder the cars keep coming"

This is my story..i've no intention to recommend which 'knock shop' to go or whatsoever.

The unfortunate thing is..i'm not at KL this weekend.. will be back to my hometown. If u are a frequent traveler, buying a GPS device or a phone with a GPS capability is worth every cents

The workmanship is good to my eyes (i meant for my wife's car)..but not that i dont want to share a good 'knock shop', it is just that i sent my wife's car there for once only & my judgement is thru that one & only experience with that shop. I afraid later if i recommend it to u & then u didnot satisfy with the repair result, i will end up feeling bad to myself.

As of my car case (which i repaired it at Perlis), they just touching up + spray paint & clear coat.
