QUOTE(irangan @ Apr 6 2012, 08:57 AM) Ya. Exactly, more solid feel and sounds better. Can PM me the price also plus the Michelin pilot sport 3... thanksI will pm u the cost and I got it done by Howeichoo (http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1787594). Superb workmanship and everything is in order despite alot of stuff been taken off. The road noise is reduced alot (>50%) IMO. I already changed my tyre to Michelin Pilot Sport 3. So more quiet. Bro, the stock tyre is Nexen; a brand that getting quite famous for the past few years especially after Forte and their N6000/N8000 series launched. So it is at reasonable price and quality. So considered branded also. The stock tyre is not too bad, just I abit particular and changed to a better one. This post has been edited by rusty: Apr 6 2012, 02:28 PM |

Exactly, i din even notice mood light is there Added on April 17, 2012, 6:34 pm QUOTE(gary_ckwai @ Apr 16 2012, 02:57 PM) my issue so far is fixed. mechanic mention it's issue with the back frame of the car. they remove, re-align, greased and tighten again. could be during assemble the car it's not done perfectly in Korea factory. i tested on uneven roads with lots of bumps, turns, down/up hill, slow turns and no sound. will drive few more days to test and ensure 100% permanent fix. Thx bro for sharing... really hope this really rectify the noise issue. Pls update back after some times yaif u go to red cube pj look for mechanic name hafiz and he will know what to do. he have solved few K5 that having this same issue previously. Added on April 17, 2012, 6:39 pm QUOTE(sidhu13 @ Apr 14 2012, 05:45 PM) I insured the windscreen. It was valued at rm 2500. I pay the same amount also to cover windscreen. Just wanna ask whether the sunroof also cover by insurance? this is because someone ask me this and i wasn't sure and called to ask my agent, he said covered after i add on windscreen?! But i check back cover note, nothing reflect that. Is what my agent told me true?Had to pay 15% of the value for insurance. So paid rm 375 extra.. Worth it though..
