how about adding rm10k to exec preve for 170hp gain?
google camproturbo

agree

severe crash..

car total lost?

RESS at B-pillar really works

mgkn preve ni tgh duk tunggu peluang utk u-turn, 1/2way at border.

then came the lorry from his back (now from right passenger back).

BANG!

kalu kt jln gasing area PJ mmg byk "blind u-turn"...

timing belt.

cfe is campro-based.
basic campro uses timing belt.

as long as it serve well, either belt or chain is good.

FTW

with reference to these:

http://www.nazakia.com.my/sedans/forte-6-speed/pricing
http://www.nazakia.com.my/sedans/forte-6-s...eatures-options
http://www.nazakia.com.my/sedans/forte-6-s.../specifications

my findings:

1. forte ex is less-equipped (ESC, auto-aircond, paddleshift); compared to preve cfe.
2. yet forte ex's price is higher.

my exp. (2 friends got 2 fortes of diff. specs.):

1. preve's HUD infotainment is larger than forte, easier to view.
2. forte's arm rests are not comfortable, compared to preve's.
if u notice, in forte, when u lay ur hand onto the armrest, ur wrist will be tilted at an angle towards the inside door handle; whereas in preve it is straight.
3. forte's cabin is quite compared to my mom's gen2. sorry i haven't drive a preve yet.
4. fabric seat will not last long, will senget2 a bit (observed from my friend's forte).
5. i always get electric-static shock once i disgress from my friend's forte, but not from other car. i'm wearing the same asadi sandal though.

if i were in this situation, my verdict goes to preve cfe. why?

1. simply designed, no-mess body styling.
2. value for money (safety, handling, gadget).
3. malaysian-made, if bad luck happened, spare parts can be easily sourced.
4. TURBO maaaaa!

i agree with u.

1. test drive 1st.
2. buy that u like.

imo, pls note, imo only ye, no offensive & i like simple design:

1. forte's dashboard is like previous gen kia.
preve dashboard is simple & functional.

2. fit & fitting varies at places, & i believe my wife's myvi mk1 is far better than forte.
yes i admit that preve's dashboard to door panel gap at lower a-pillar is big, but forte's gap is only milimeters smaller than preve's.

3. ergonomic is where most peoples' car failed at.
pls take note on these as ergonomically-designed car will make ur body feel at ease & less strain.
a have a proper seating position with hands at wheel, then try to reach ur gear stick.
notice the distance during gear changing.
b finger flicking at lamp & wiper switches.
c front & surrounding views. a-pillar obstructing the vision?

4. well..since looks nice or not is subjective,
a i like forte's front, but i hate it's bulky & less-sculptured shoulder.
shoulder is rear fender sides under the c-pillar.
preve's shoulder is smoother & nicer.
b. i dun like preve's tailight, i prefer some sort of mini bulky like bmw m3/ vw cc to complement the curved shape of the tailight (& i wish to emphasize on the shape)..hope fellow friends here can understand what i've said..huhu)
forte's sharp tailight at fender area is useless, more or less like wira big reflective(?) tailight near the plate holder; & i see that it just serve the purpose of making the car looks nicer.
c. the lines/strokes of forte's & preve's shares the same characteristics. just look at them & evaluate which one of these really blend into the styling of the car.


oh..talked so much this morning.
i better cut&paste my comment into my blog..haha

so sifu, this is 30km/h "relative speed" kn? momentum?

may i know, does curtain airbag also help in keeping occupants head from getting out of the window?
i've seen on the net (IIHS website) regarding two crashes of Mazda2 & Ford Fiesta (whose share the same chassis with different skin). both models are equipped with curtain ab.
i'm wondering what would happen if they aren't equipped with curtain ab. will their head thrown out of window?

imo, FC can be low/optimum if we are driving at speed at the correct engine speed (rpm).

say, gear 1, but speed 60km/h, rpm shoot up, engine screaming, of cos bad FC.

some say, for CFE, just drive sedately around 2k rpm. enuff torque oredi.

i drive Gen2 campro vanilla always rev kow2 until get the torquey area, then i try to maintain speed.
sorry to say, not very good FC in town.

not bad eh?
would u compare with other car, if possible?

i'm gonna try with my ride today..kancil ex 660cc.
