how much that will cost for such insulation? adding insulator from interior or spraying those 3M coating to block noise/heat fro exterior?
anyone use change their air filter to those KNN, redline or other brand? any cons for doing so coz i did change it for my myvi and the throttle body get dirty more easily and need cleaning more often. hence I am still in 50-50 mode whether change it or not.

I did changed to K&N filter, just noticed a little bit more responsive in the pick up.

FC wise not much different.

I would suggest you to keep the stock ones rather you need to fork out extra cash for new
16 inchers with new set of tyres..

my car now clocking apx. 5,070km and my 90% city drive FC improved to avg 8.8liter/100km from max 12liter/100km before 4k km mileage..

i guess the 2.0 with 17 inch rims doesn't cause really bad FC thou..

What about the comfortable? I'm sure it would be a lot better right? I'm thinking to downgrade to 16" as well.

Yupp..u're right. I'm fall in this category. Prefer comfortable right & better acceleration. So i opted for a lightweight 16" rims with 55 in tire profile. Regarding the FC for my case, for long distance driving with mostly constant speed, the FC is the same from my observation (between 17" & 16" rims). But for mostly town driving with many stop & go situation, my current lightweight 16" rims give better FC than the original 17" rims.

16" isn't using 50 thick? how come is 55? any impact of the odometer?

If u prefer a comfortable ride, as like me, downgrading to 16" rims with a tire profile of 55 will do the trick.

If u refer to the user's manual, if we use 16" rims, the correct tyre size would be 205/55 so that the effect on the odo & speedometer is keep to very minimal. I've double check this with my onboard GPS last time, the difference is about 1-2km/h only

whats the reason for selling ur K&N Filter?
*
my car still under warranty and have to go sc service, everytime go service have to replace back to the old forte original filter and take up the K&N filter. After finish service, have to change back to K&N filter again sweat.gif

I not really keen to do it for every services, either keep the original or K&N, end up decided to sell K&N filter.

Last time I was frustrating about no pick up of this car, then i just buy this K&N filter.

But since feel like don't want to waste my money for the new forte filter from service center, then decided to sell it but sacrifice the pick up felling.

i thought u wanna sell ur K&N becos it makes ur engine dirty....
i also bought this K&N before i even get my car.... till today i havent change to K&N.... maybe this weekend i'll do it when i do some car detailing.....
*
ya, service every 10k km, then?? not really catch what you meant hmm.gif

My K&N usage less than 1000 km, does it cause the engine dirty?

lol, just put it inside if you doesn't feel hassle, u will feel the pick up when you pump second petrol tank.

I don't believe this when I first saw this post in the morning and guess what - It happened to me just now! After using Forte for 1.5 months, putting my iphone and smartkey in same pocket from day 1, really happen now! I better split them up.

I tell you one more mystery case doh.gif

If i park my forte in a certain area which is in front of my house, I always not able to start the engine doh.gif The odo keep prompt some msg like "remote key is not valid"... sweat.gif
Initially i thought was the remote battery flat, so I changed it but still facing the same problem. End up always need to use the 10 seconds technique to start the engine. This never happen in outside or I park my car in another 5 Meter(infront next next neightbour house) further:x

I believe that area have some wave that interfere my remote sensor sweat.gif
Why this happen to me cry.gif

Got hantu...... Just joking.

You check is there any astro/tv antenna/wifi router antenna pointing at the affected area? The reason is: 3-4 years ago, I had a laptop that always hang when I work from my study room. But it works perfectly if I work from living hall or other area. It took long time to figure out what's wrong. At the end, I found an astro antenna is pointing straight at my study room. Then I go to neighbour ask them to turn off astro for few hours. Guess what, my laptop works perfectly! After my neighbour turn on astro again, damn the problem come back! Confirmed it's the antenna kacau my laptop!

So....don't underestimate these invisible wave.

car remote wave interfere I can understand, your is laptop!!!! you win lo... notworthy.gif notworthy.gif hahaha sweat.gif
