erm... u change ur rim through salesman or self go find outside shop, btw what brand is that rim? tire can use back same but got people dun like silver stone due to it is noisy on high speed , for me it still ok , will use until it botak only try other brand
*
Salesman at outside tyre shop tongue.gif Yeah, I don't like silverstone also, but if want change rim + tyre same time, have to cough out RM1799 + RM1600 (assuming 1 tyre = rm400). My bank also burst like that rclxub.gif Thats why change slowly lor smile.gif And I want to change rims first because these rims, if someone go buy, means no more already... So better buy now before its too late tongue.gif

Eh i wait until 5k km then go for service although aldy more than 3 mths...
Otherwise waste a lot... if 3 mths maybe mileage baru clocked 2k km...

Actually is "whichever comes first" smile.gif But normally if lets say you reached 3 mths already but haven't get 5k km, normally can drag a month or 2 to tipu tipu say you busy tongue.gif But if you wait till 6 mths before changing (meaning you skipped one cycle), if something goes wrong with your car and can be remotely blamed by not servicing in time, warranty CAN be deemed void smile.gif

Hi everybody, just want to share my experience. I was only 2 to 3 days late and had to pay for the labour charge. The person told me "semua dah automatic billing, so he cannot change anything'. So better to go earlier even if your mileage have not reached the intended target! Or else be prepared to be charged labour fees if still on warranty.
*
Wow. Maybe before you get them to key in you should have created some kinda story maybe the SC guy can help out? whistling.gif I don't know actually. I use my car a lot. Mileage always reach way earlier than the expected time frame. Heck, it only took me 2 weeks to reach 1k km icon_question.gif

hi everyone. my loan already approved for 2.0 forte. unfortunately, i was told that the latest with built-in touch screen was not available for white colour? Is it true? Or it just a cover up that they don't have stock for this? I've been asked to take titanium silver colour which I'm not preferred to...
*
First of all, you sure you want white? I wanted titanium silver but because no stock, I had to choose white. I'm kinda regretting it cos EVERYDAY i wash my car cry.gif Although white looks damn sexy whistling.gif Luckily I got put paint protection. Easy to wash, otherwise I'll die rclxub.gif

QUOTE(CyberKewl @ Apr 24 2012, 07:35 AM)
how come hu also got depend on your car color? I thought the color should be matching the interior and as i know the interior colour doesnt change across all models unlike koup?
*
Yeah, doesn't change colour. Looks like the salesman got something he not telling Dyensem. Maybe the white is older batch which requires more work to put in the new HU.

Engine air filter. It will be changed at every 20k km interval. Cabin air filter will be changed @ 30k km interval.

Means time to change K&N drop-in air filter just before 20k km service? tongue.gif

Thanks, I really thought SC mixed up the filter as all the time i think air filter is referring to Aircond filter.
If we changed to K&N filter (as Bro giGHOlo suggestion) will it void the 5 years warranty as we are not using the SC filter, and parts are not replace according to service manual. Will this be an argument later when we want to lodge a claim??
*
I don't think so la. What can an air filter possibly do to your car? :S Some more this one higher quality one. Unless we didnt clean the filter according to schedule ourselves (because SC can't clean it for us anymore)..

I'm going to SC tmr for some touchup on my car. Will ask the people there smile.gif Update you guys when I got the answer wink.gif

Guys,

today i took a pic of my reverse cam, i circled the angle with red color on the pic.
can anyone confirm if the view supposed to be like that? Looks like not tally the viewing angle, right side bumper viewing angle is larger than left side?
Taikor, its supposed to be like that one. Your camera is placed at the side, not center, thats why like that lor tongue.gif

QUOTE(fourteh @ Apr 27 2012, 06:27 PM)
They may say not void warranty now but later when your car have engine trouble then they will say the K&N void the warranty. All use words only no written black & white then don't believe.

In fact I am using a drop-in K&N filter now in my Forte. My strategy is to replace the old filter just before servicing. When it is time to change the air filter say at every 20K, I will just pay for it & then change back to my K&N later & repeat this step for every service.

Sure I may be paying for the paper air filter which I will not be using but I guess it is cheaper than to repair the engine when they tell you the K&N void your warranty. This is my "insurance". :-)

A bit troublesome... hmm.gif

Dear All, I do find my 2 weeks old 2.0 Forte ride slightly bumpy. Anyone care to share anyway to improve the ride comfort? Or rather it is just how the car has been tuned sporty.

Also, is the central console cup holders below the gear knob gets warm all the time? I usually left my car key and iphone there. They do get warm all the time.

Cheers.

Good question. Been wanting to ask this. I realize that it only gets hot if the car is idle for too long. If the car is moving, it wouldn't be too hot. rclxub.gif

definitely going to buy forte this week. been using my mom's getz for 3 years now, but seriously, im not a person that knows how to jaga his car. everything just "belasah".. send car to service all up to me....

but im gonna try change all that with my new car. already going to pick the white one, and ppl ask me its hard to maintain that color.  do i need to go thru those paint protection process as soon as i got the car (just heard about pps n sierra glow) ?

for servicing, anyone know good KIA service center in JB ? .. btw what happened to myforteclub website ? i wanted to check the MFC starter kit.. whats that ?

You got balls. For a person who "just belasah" a car wanna go for a brand new white car... sweat.gif Can handle or not? tongue.gif

Let me tell you a true story. I will never get a white car anymore in my life. Yes, damn sexy.. but to maintain it to be that sexy every single moment.. suffering rclxub.gif But it is a chick magnet I must say brows.gif
