no la... coz ur just add a bar and screw it... no welding needed...
for a start, maybe u can try...

rear strut bars + 4 points rear lower bar

still need ARB ? i thought we aldy have ARB inside the torsion beam...
which front strut ? upper or lower ?
rumours said upper front strut for RR car or front engine drive by rear wheel (ie : avanza)

oh ok... but w/out 'good' suspension, i believe UR only can contribute 25% of good handling... no harm to try...

umno said wannabe abg adik or not, otherwise forte price more than 100k... so naza no choice... hahaha...

poison poison 

Guys, my interest on Forte is fading thanks to Elantra. Please give me more reason for not going for Elantra? Elantra is quite enticing - -"

any good dealer around puchong area / sunway / seri kembangan?

staying in puchong....if in puchong better la ...no need go so far....

plan to trade in my proton saga...lol

change 'canggih' tail lamp didn't void warranty if u've no issues with ur wiring parts...
when u've an issues with wiring then baru SC will said "oh u sudah tukar tail lamp kaaa... ini void warranty"...
elantra ESC more power maaa... it call VSM...
bcoz no power drawn from the engine for EPS to control/lighten the steering...
i dunno la but the front look not so tempting... belkg mcm cruze pulak...

Just got my Baby (2.0L, 6 speed, w/o HU) last week. The second day drove from BP to Melaka and back. The 3rd day from BP to JB and back. This Mon from BP to KL and back last night. I had my first service in KIA RED CUBE Service Centre at PJ.

No rattling sound on the dashboard, no side pulling of wheel etc etc that I read about on "MYFORTESUCK"
Overall, I would say the car is at its Good condition just as what  I expected. I have no complaint at all.

Added on April 19, 2012, 3:38 pmOne thing I need to share with all bros here is that :

I bang my brand new BABY into someone's car backside yesterday when I came back from KL (I must be too tired). Its an old model WIRA. I still remember the heart-stopping, breath-taking sound when I bang it : Pong !

The WIRA bumper broken as usual (If you own a WIRA like I do you know what I mean) Guess what ... My BABY still in a one piece, checking through the entire front area, only notice a few scratches on the bumper and a bit drop of the front bumper (Just get it fixed this morning at the Service Centre, and guess what again . . . for FREE ! ! !)

I think KIA must have improved the bumper design a lot that it absorbs more impact force during accident.

No regret for choosing Forte instead of H's City (or else I think my car will be in the workshop now)

Its only 2 weeks plus since I got my BABY, I can't judge much on other aspects of the car, but for safety, It really surpasses my expectation.

Epo, So, it is good to have more ppl like Optimus2810 and ole_solskjaerto give feedback here.
I also made booking for my forte 1.6SX. currently waiting for PKP. After I heard comment from them, I feel can't wait for another 1-2week anymore.

I using semi oil.. it said 5k or 3 months.. what does this mean? if I not yet reach 5k but already 3 months, is it i need to go for service again?

all kind of forte now come with new hu aswell

is true due to white is most hot selling color ,so all the customer will get the white with new HU 1st then only other color . last month other color still have old stock so they dont release all the new stock. honestly i feel that new speednavi GPS system is not so friendly on the interface , i am try to change it to papago . will update u once i success  ^^ .

yea probably..that why i told them, i'm not signing the loan boank and not paying the downpmt if they won't get me a white color with HU.. and now, they are checking and will revert me by this afternoon... let's see what their answer after that..

garmin need a very powerful cpu to run it smoothly , most of the china make GPS including the forte HU wont run very smooth garmin. imagine that u are using a OLD pc like pentium 2 to play the latest facebook game ^^  that is the feel like u install garmin on the HU

any1 tried turbo charge a forte, mine coming soon, now in workshop

actually change the tip will make it sound like vroom vroom??..lol..or still a silent ride?..any impact on performance and FC?

i see..if wan sound then fc impacted too right?

i think all new HU will face this issue... 

wish Mr Loh was here 2.4 years ago so i dun need to wait 4 mths for my car... hahaha...
