QUOTE(effilizham @ Jul 24 2012, 04:41 PM) my 1 month plus Forte starts having the rattling sound from the dashboard and driver’s side door (didn’t expect the problem to be this soon). i’ve read somewhere that Kinrara SC can fix this problem (anyone concur with this?) cannot tahan with the sound anymore. Consider yourself 'lucky'. Got rattles issue even on the 2nd day i got the car.. Nothing from the dashboard so far but rattles coming both from the driver n passenger door.. secondly, i'm planning to change my DVD HU to another brand (don’t really like the stock UI and the reception is quite bad). i understand that this will only void my HU warranty right? |

QUOTE(gigohlo @ Jul 31 2012, 02:14 AM) I added front tower strut bar and anti roll bar and car handling can feel much improved. Now to find ways to keep my ass on my leather seat Last time when I installed FSB on my Honda City the steering became a bit stiff (harder to turn or require more effort to turn). Any difference in steering feel in Forte after installation? |

QUOTE(Ah_Bear @ Aug 5 2012, 03:31 AM) Apparently, the guy who changed my tires to new Michelin PS3 told me that My 3 weeks old Forte has the pull left issue, no.1 and no. 2. my front passenger side chamber to adjust -1.13°. Doing so will suggest better straight line steering feel and also eliminates Forte's infamous pull left steering feel which I'm having also. I do not want my tires to makan sebelah at the inside after prolonged use, so I rejected his so-called preferred setting and to go for default which has all round optimal wear and performance on each tyre. There are 4 minor issues I need to live with my 6 months old Forte. 1) Lalat noise sound on front driver and passenger adjustable seatbelt at B-pillars while driving on speedbreaker strips / road imperfection surfaces. 2) Zzzzzz and slight wind whistles from the front dash and windscreen somewhere above 105kmph. 3) Not 100% reliable reverse camera and LCD screen built-in rear view mirror. 4) Noticeable squeaking sound when leaning against the driver's seat backrest. It squeaks like 50 yrs old car when first day I brought the car home. (SC and also myself unzipped the half leather seat upholstery and sprayed lots of WD40 inside behind, noise eliminated about 80%.. still there are upper parts I cannot reach with WD40. Defective or rusty Active Headrest mechanism I think..) All in all.. Forte is a comfortable and fun car to drive, but doesn't feel good to live with all 4 mentioned above. Pull left issue - already did realignment.. not much difference.. perhaps need to replace chamber nut? No. 1 and no. 2 - trying to live with them.. afraid SC will make them worse after complaining.. Overall.. still a good investment.. Fellow Fortezens.. Planning to get ARB or 2point Rear Strut Bar for my Forte.. may I know which one will give better handling? Already installed a Front Strut Bar.. thanks.. |

QUOTE(Ah_Bear @ Aug 5 2012, 11:56 AM) FYI, I did tested my car for 2 days with front left -1.13°.. Bro Ah_Bear.. Your posts are very insightful my only gripe when I parked my car, it seems that the front left tayar look oddly senget and the other front doesn't.. as if it wanna putus from chassis lidat.. doesn't look alright for an ordinary car and its not a sports / track based car.. that setting was certainly gives better road feel and very sharp steering response.. the default -0.26° gives disconnected steering feel and have to adjust the steering quite often even at straight line cruising.. perhaps u need to ask other sifus here and 2nd or 3rd opinion at experience tire shop ppl.. if your car comes with BK already.. i don't suggest u lowering your car's height for handling advantage.. 4 ppl on board sure kena macam2 scratch at bottom wan Not planning to lower the car. Since i already installed a Front Strut Bar.. Thinking of adding either a Rear Strut Bar or Rear Anti Roll Bar.. Which would give better handling? Yes.. Forte handles nicely.. But the bars make it way better.. |
