As simple as burned bulb perhaps?

Check simple thing first..bulb & fuse.

For the extra 12k..u will get :

1) Of course the 2.0L engine..extra power & acceleration on your right foot
2) 6 airbags
3) Cruise Control
4) Leather Seat
5) Motor Driven Power Steering

Worth your 12k? It's your money..your life anyway

In term of FC, for city driving, u should expect a bit higher in FC comparing to the 1.6 Forte but it justify the extra 'kick' that u have. For highway driving, i can say that the FC is more or less the same with the 1.6 Forte (if not better).

As expected

Usually stated on top of the battery.

As far as i could remember, i cant notice any increase in power or whatsoever when i used the higher capacity battery. Maybe my spark plug going to kaput already..lol

Change all to 16" rims & tires..choose a lightweight one. Sure will give better acceleration & comfort. Potholes? No worries anymore..

Uitt bro..next week school holiday already..bila mau balik kampung?..jom TT..makan nasi ayam stadium..hehe

Reasonable price for a 2.0L car. Comparing with my previous 1.6L Waja (4G18P), the spare part price is more or less the same except for the absorber which is a bit expensive..but as the whole world know, Waja standard absorber are easily 'kong' which justify its cheaper price..lol

I traded it in

The choice is yours anyway. I didnot have luxury in space to store the ori rims & tires..so i decided to let it go...

Added on March 9, 2012, 9:18 pmI installed the first gen HU at a price of 2700 & then install this HU later on (after the first gen HU's GPS failed to start) at just over 2000 last year that come with the original Papago! X8.5 navigation software. I guess u will be fainted big time now..lol

Lelong..lelong..who want my first gen HU?..complete set & fully functional (except the GPS)..cheap sale

Yaa..skimming will do the trick. But u better do it for all the rims..else, the skimmed rim looks not matching to the other rims..the skimmed rim looks more shiny..so u will easily notice the difference...

Skim only will do since it's just an outer face scratch. But if u paint the rims in black & then do the skimming like what i did (& some others) before, it surely looks much better..u can take a look at the K5 rims as an instance..it will look just like that (only the design is different)

When i did this before..it took 3 days if i'm not mistaken..in this waiting period, u better have 4 spare wheels to move around..or else, find another 3 Fortezens who wanna skim their rims too & everybody take turn using each others spare rims & tires (+ your own spare rim & tire) until the skimming process for all 4 cars finished

Hmm...might as well just swap the scratch rim with the spare one alone..no need to skim anymore until other rims get some scratch also

Since that he will pay..u better do it for all 4 rims. Say to him that if u do only 1 rim, it will not look the same as the other rims. Ask him to pay u RM250 & skim the rim 1 by 1.

Answering these question on behalf...


- It will lock/unlock the whole car

- Yaa..the alarm/siren is still activated

As for me, the sound quality, i will give 9.5 out of 10. The stock HU produced a slightly better sound when play mp3/wma files using USB. For CD player..the sound is more or less the same between them. But for radio, the new HU obviously produce better sound. So to conclude :

What i lost :
1. Sound quality of mp3/wma player when using USB (slightly i must say)
2. 6 CD Changer (can convert all my CDs to mp3s anyway)

What i gained (compared to the stock HU on the 4-speed Forte) :
1. 7" Touchscreen TFT DVD/VCD/AVI/MP4/JPG player
2. Satellite navigator (GPS) - c/w original Papago! X8.5 navigation software
3. Better sound quality for radio
4. Reverse camera (need to install camera on the rear)
5. Can play media files using MicroSD card as an alternative to USB
6. Bluetooth phone connectivity
7. Bluetooth music player
8. A good looking HU on the dashboard..luxurious feel..lol
9. Watch TV on the move - Priceless..lol (but of course need to install antenna booster & depends on area - not really clear though )

So i guess..it worth it

Papago! splash screen not full screen? Hmm..perhaps it was a cracked Papago! X8.5 I'm not having such a problem...

Nope..the 4-speed Forte dont have the reverse camera..only the facelifted Forte (6-speed) has it..so need to install one for my 4-speed Forte.

For the 6-speed Forte, yaa..we can just tap the existing reverse cam..but the display/video on the HU is quite blur coz it (the reverse cam) meant for a small resolution screen on the rear view mirror..not for a higher resolution screen on the HU itself.

Yupp..i have to agree with that

6-speed one right? I guess the gearbox is not faulty by itself. It is the lack of ATF that fails the shifting. No/lack of ATF = no hydraulic pressure in the gearbox = no shifting. Right..no?
