hey guys, jz curious to ask. what are the stock tyres that came with your car? i had silverstones n honestly those wheels are bad..they are not perfectly rounded.my car was vibrating quite hard at high speed. resolved when i changed to yokohamas. appreciate ur feedback on this

went to tire shop, he jacked it up n let the wheel free spin, can see the wheel spinning slightly off center. says quite a few forte owners came by to dump their silverstones for michelins or yokohamas


road noise is relatively low on new tyres, just the vibration at about 140 onwards on d old tyres which are now resolved.no damage really (im still at 2k mileage so thank god i swapped them out before they spoilt anything else)

current tyres are using yokohama 205/55/16 (i own a EX not SX)

Added on March 3, 2012, 8:02 pmim not sure if this helps, but look at my previous post. i had this problem too. what tyres are u using? i've been told n shown by outside mechanic that silverstone stocks for the 2011, 2012 batches have a problem with their tyre shape. try asking them to jack it up n free wheel it for u, u might notice it spins slightly off center. if thats d case, u will probably have vibrating problems no matter how much weights u add during balancing. i've used michelin & yokohamas before and after my change to a yokohama, no more vibration. of course, this might not be the case, so look into this as possible problem on ur case. btw my yokohamas are 205/55/16. if u identify this as a problem, u shud do it asap so u can get a good price on wheel trade in as its unused

just that if u have the persistent pulling to the left problem, that could be camber related. i have yet to investigate this problem although a forumer has advised me on how to proceed on this.

guys,

i've owned a forte for about 4 months already, however I've noticed that the low end torque is a bit weak, possibly due to the weight of the car. Perhaps if anyone could kindly recommend something that could improve the lower end acceleration in the car? Performance chips? Air intake? Idk. Im kinda new to modding so I'd like some precious input. Thanks

If u wan 17'', change to light weight sport rims, for all 4 rims(not include spare), change to mythedology crank pulley, carbon fiber bonnet....done!!!

but that seems like quite a lot of money instead of changing d air intake and adding a perfchip in eh?

Can, but it must be syntium too and if im not mistaken you need a letter of approval (i forgot from who) that you are using syntium not provided by SC..its a hassle really, unless you wanna save money on buying cheaper syntium

Hello guys, i have a slight problem, i was recently parking my car and accidentally nudged the kerb. As a result, my foglight got hit and got pushed inwards and its loose now. Does anybody know how to diy this back to original position or do inhave to send it in for repair? Thanks in advance
