Anyone trade in your 17" rim & tyre to 16"?
How much does it cost or got back some pocket money since 16" should be cheaper right? Mind to share the details?

Any significant fc improvement after change to small rim?

I think I know what's my car's problem....very easy to find out why underpower...same as lots of 4speed 1.6SX users.....
Did u all notice that 4 speed, when engine running hot, gearbox attempt shift slower and when is engine cold(cold start), it shift properly....sometimes when overtaking cars, it takes time to shift down gears, and sometimes when u accelerate, it keep on drag till for sometimes before engaging another gear....this happens when using car after few minutes when engine temperature rise to normal....
Even with stock rims, I still feel our 1.6SX Forte still powerful, but because of gear 'delay shift' which might do with gear ratio timing with accelerator not accurate....even though last week i sent my car to NAZAKIA Alor setar for checking due to underpower, they stated this problem to me, and told me they reset it back....after few days...same thing happen....I think might need install ATF cooling solution like KFC did....thinking of installing 1 in Alor Setar, but having hard time to find it, due to busy-ness.....

indeed i notice this from my test drive. i do agree 1.6 seems less willing to down shift... but 2.0 is ok thou

Hi Forte owners,

Anyone here got their dashboard noise fixed (1.6SX FL)? Mine experiencing noise/rattling around the right aircond vent near the cd player. Went to SC twice for fixing but still occurs after a few days, very annoying.

Any suggestion to get rid this annoying rattling sound or any good SC in Northern area to recommend. Thanks

Same problem with my forte, try press down on top of the clock for short time and the sound will gone afterward. Sometime it works, but sometime not.

unfortunately sad to say, it didn't work that way... kena top-up lagi ada laaa...
from few owners that had be done it, yes improve fc but a little2 only... major improvement is more comfort & can hit many potholes as they like...

Read a good review at MFC forum about that service center.

Very high possibility getting forte 2.0 if the Elantra 1.8 is over priced..
And no paddle shifters for me to play play..
Inspira not approve by wife..

Help.

Today i am doing my first 1000km Service and Alignment at Glenmare. The technician checked and told me that my front left type was eaten due to pull left problem and suggest me to switch the front tyre with back tyre, no balancing is required as informed by him.

Below is the differences before and after the alignment:-

Before:
Steering was hard to and required more energy to turn but very stable.

After:
Steering was very loose and required more energy to turn/steer for same corner (about 360deg for U-Turn), steering not stable especially when hinter the uneven road, steering will vibrate. And steering will not auto turn back to original position after turning.

Do any fortezen here faced this before and is this normal? Help please !!!

BTW, any branch/ dealer open on Sunday near PJ area?

The technician is doing alignment as well, maybe problem on alignment. Now my steering can't turn back to neutral/ original position after steer.
