yea, juz some useful info for u all....ORIGINAL SX rim(only) for Forte Sedan, cost RM3k without RIM cap....

the spray cost RM150 together with spare rim(5 rims), I paid RM190 cause my spare rim dented(RM40 for repairing and skimming), while RM150 for balancing, change to chrome stainless Steel valve and chrome stainless steel pipe
and of coz, i did it when time 2 close shop...+ Overtime of the workers(7 ppl RM15 each) = RM105
RM150X2+RM40+RM105 = RM345 all together

After spray, estimate 10 minutes for 1 side and 10 minutes for another side(expose to sunlight directly)...

between the 4 speed 1.6 ex tyre, 195/65/15 and its 6 speed FL ex siblings, 205/55/16..

the latter type is more expensive is it? anybody changed recently?

but handling and comfort better 16'? how about fc?

i get minimum 600km/full tank ron95 for highway trip and minimum 500km/full tank ron95 for urban on my ex with 15'..anybody can share fc for their ex with 16'?

Mind sharing ur avg km/h when u got the 600km on full tank?

it s kl - kb state road, so i would say 80-110km/h..

QUOTE(lovejy @ Jan 9 2012, 10:03 AM)
I get 600+ km with constant 110km/h and i think still can go for 100km because the fuel light just illuminate. smile.gif

1) Low re-sale value (well, this i dont give a damn coz dont think gonna sell so soon)
2) High FC, about 0.20/km city drive  (yes, this kinda worries me. But some owner has better fc after 1st & 2nd service, but others?)
3) Pricey parts, certain parts sommore no keep stock ( anyone has bad experience on this b4 ?)
4) Of coz there are also some minor-minor problems like rattling sound frm dashboard, under the seat, steering alignment out 1 side ect. (errmm...i think i can bear with that, in fact some of it actually can be rectify)
thanks.

1) u know it wink.gif
2) for god sake, downgrade to 16 or 15' inch! then you fc will be on par with vios! if stock 17' of course 1.6 engine cannot give best fc, but still acceptable. mine is 4 speed ex, 15 inch rims..best fc can get >600km per full tank for highway. urban drive can get >500km.
3) yes, quite true on especially in 2010..2011 n now should be better as more forte are on the roads. you should 'cleverly' find for the parts, not relying 100% on SC or official source. experience 2 repairs already in 2010, the nazakia parts supply management sux at that moment. hopefully they are better now. if you want to check, call nazakia hotline, refer to spare parts, and ask directly for forte parts availability. if they have it in high volume ready stock then it should be ok now. else you can find parts 'outside' from few sources.
4) 4 speed forte rarely got this problem. for 6 speed ocassionally heard the complains, go to sc to rectify if it serious.
