For all u know the side skirts actually dun hav in the 1st place. Prolly juz to buy time n u not screaming at them. Juz hav to b patient since oredi in their hands.

Even premium brands, dun wanna mention names here but i can tell u its german, will hav to wait a good couple of months for parts to arrive. U ll b shock to know that its a simple thing. Tts y T n H hav this advantage over most brands. They hav the numbers n dare put in the stocks.

Venting out frustrations in a public forum of owners, enthusiasts n potential owners is not the way to resolve ones issues. If u wanna make a point or adress for other forumers attn, then its done. Objective met. Continuously ranting bout it will not help anybody. Move on to the level then.

Write to the press. Write to SM Faisal. Take up legal action. Start a anti naza kia facebook page. Threaten then dealer. Send thugs. I dunno.

We fellow owners n forummers can at the most emphatise n probably giv our advise or opinions if it matters at all. Some of us may hav been thru similar experiences. It could have been, i sent a letter to naza demanding an explanation, i want compensation for financial losses n oso resulting in emotional distress. Dont hang out ur dirty linen to prove a point. It will reflect badly on u. Theres no need to bash each other up. Theres no gain but more burning sensation in the heart. Gettin the car is juz part of the hurdle. Maintaining it will b next. Think abt it. Peace mates.

Its the duration of time which ur car has been running. Irregardless moving or stationery. It can b reset to at any time.

Protons reputation is oredi tarnished. They started off at the rite direction but didnt follow thru. It has lead to this, a brand of cars if u dun really hav much choice. Honestly i m not belittling proton but they made it that way. Its actually sad. I had 2 wiras n honestly they both serve the purpose well. But now, its a diff thing altogether.

Now the focus is on the koreans, the June Torque issue did a comparison test between the k5, kizashi n i45 (sonata). Comments were good. In fact its commented as n alternative to the camry. Setbacks were the cabin ceiling is low (quite true) n the aircon not being effective? I find the aircon sufficient enuf. Probably the ventilated seats oso takes up more stress on the aircon. Yes the singaland version has it. We dont.

The 2nd exhaust looks like its for a turbo. The flange design screams tdo5.

Free alignment must b done before 2k. I got this vibration at 90-110 like the balancing is off. I juz clocked 2.2k. Aiya..

Agreed. But at least hav security film for the door windows. It may safe ur life or at least belongings.

For 3m, their security film is clear. They dun hav a 2 in 1 tint if u want oso. I hav asked before. Tts y, during installation u will notice tt they put 2 layers if u want security tint.

Security tint/film is good for delaying but is not really theft proof. If helps in accidents n snatch theft. I hav been hit before n the tint saved me from additional injuries. Shards fr shattered glass can be deadly.

Guys, i may hav found the culprit causing the burning smell when u push the car hard. Its the rear muffler. Juz went outstn n tekan. When i reached home, the boot floor was burning hot. The side where the exhaust is located. However the smell has gone. I believe tt the muffler is too close to the body n the heat insulation is not good enuf. Sigh...

Anybody got this issue? After a couple hours of drivin on the highway, does your boot floor right above the muffler side get extremely hot. Is tis normal in the first place? Heat insulation insufficient?

U try pushing ur car a bit harder for a short while. Tt means engaging ur dual vvt.

Its really hot. I can c theres a heat shield over the muffler but i dun think its doin the job.

Aaahh? No need la fren. Can touch oso will feel it oredi.

The reason why i bring this up is bcoz the paint colour of the boot floor will start to discolour. Worse is the carpet catch fire. Pls take note of this potential issue tt may be a fire hazard.

I guess we all need to lodge a complaint to our SCs. Long term damage leh.

Added on July 3, 2012, 12:58 pmIts not normal for sure. Its either bad insulation or muffler too close to the boot wall. Our car is still new n damage will b visible later esp owners clocking hi mileage.

Added on July 3, 2012, 1:02 pmGot parking lights? I didnt notice in the manual. Which one issit?

Added on July 3, 2012, 1:10 pmNope. Dun hav.

If i could remember correctly the sequence, shuld b like this.

Setup>On bluetooth>On phone bluetooth (make sure visible)>Setup>Pairing>Search device using phone>Select Kia>Enter password

None so far. Closest is Torque Sg June copy. Group comparison. Sonata vs Kizashi vs K5. K5 chosen.

O i c.. Its like side lights. Got it. Thanks.

Time to upgrade rim? Hehe

Yeah. I know wat u mean. Wedsport got nice design rim for our type of car though. Hehe.. Juz kiddin mate.

Its nice. But its more of a futuristic n matured design. Nothin beats a good set of rims like wedsport, rays n even bbs.

Too bad 18" rims is goin to b super mahal. Hmmph. Wishful thinkin... for now.

Added on July 5, 2012, 12:41 amI browse via google images onli. If u put in the search, u can c theres quite a few lexus is250 fitted wif this rims. I feel the is250 shape resembles close to our k5.

I always imagine the SA67R blue light chrome edition on my white k5. Geram! Its better than sex! Lol....

I tried running at 32psi for 1 week. Lower road noise is noticeable (same route of course) but can feel the car roll a bit more in corners. I noticed tt i oso lost 2psi when i checked again. I used a digital pressure gauge before n after. Wonder if this is normal to loose so much air pressure in 1 week?
