I thought of going for some long distance sprint ride to 'clean' up my engine. New car must train a bit ma..After that I plan to change the engine oil and recycle the gear oil because there might be particals due to the 'engine polishing' cool2.gif

FC improvement not much, maybe around 0.5l/100km. But the car very willing to sprint smile.gif  On a good week I can get around 8.5l/100km, mixed 70% city / 30% highway. For full city drive with the farkin morning jam five days a week, around 11l/100km hehe. Quite a big difference.

I'm using OZ Alleggerita, around RM1,150/pc.
*
May I know how many km is it already on your ODO meter??
Mine juz clocked 2000km 1months+ but the FC is still quite bad...About 10.7l/100km 50% highway and 50%city. Dun really speed much maybe juz once in a while on highway about 10mins 140km/h, 1-2 times per week
Reading from the ODO meter shows 9.8l/100km but when I do my own calculation it shows 10.7l/100km

Is this normal?? rclxub.gif

1. anyone drove his 1.6sx up go genting? how is the power?

2. how much should I top up if change to 16" RIM with tyre for a brand new forte? any specific brand/made by certain country of rim should I go?

considering whether going with 1.6sx or 2.0sx. thx
*
Juz went up yesterday. Going up bit steeper hill is like slightly underpower. And the main drawback of the 1.6 is that in order for u to drop gear u must move the gearknob to the left. I would suggest to go for 2.0 in order for u to fully enjoy the car

And the 12k extra is worth it. Leather seat, paddleshift without moving gear knob 6 airbags , cruise control. Regreting a bit now. Haha but guess i will still stick to it for years to come


Added on February 26, 2012, 11:44 amBut overall it's still good

My driver door started rattling/vibrating...I ignored it
Then came my left passenger's door......I ignored it as well
Yesterday I heard an even loud rattling sound from the compartment/glovebox area....Really got on my nerve

I went to KIA SC somewhere 9 in the morning. They took out the door panels put FOAM tape on the clips/joints, dismaltel half of my dashboard, put it back ant it was about 1pm

Took my car went 1 round with the SC guy..there was still noise from the dashboard, this time higher. He said they were going for lunch. I thought of bringing it back after lunch but thought that i might risk leaving my car there overnite because after lunch there will only be about 3hours for them to rectify it

I took my car home and OTW to work, everythings STARTS to rattle/vibrate again...WTH??

I will be going again tomorrow and get them to rectify this...DAMN
