1. it happened to me before; i just got my car last june. some says it can be resolved by doing high speed balancing. however mine still vibrate while driving around 110km/h. i then conclude that it either cause by tires or my sport rims which i bought replacing the stock rims. later ended up with new tires + sport rim center cone...

i suggest, do high speed balancing 1st if u use stock rims. if u change to sport rims, make sure u use center cone which will reduce/stop the wheel vibration before decided to change the tires..

2. dunno. depend on the rim weight

3. a lot of stuff can be modded hmm.gif

1.Thanks,i'm a bit worried about issue no.1 since i feel that the car is really unstable during high speed with the loose steering feeling. Am gonna take the car to a tyre shop tomorrow and have them do the alignment+balancing and see whether the issue is resolved biggrin.gif

2. I see,thanks for the info.Will make sure to ask the shop about the rim weight before buying.

3. What can i mod to improve FC? Right now i just plan to soundproof the whole car and look for carbon fiber hood.

Bro, if you want improve FC, suggest dont soundproof the whole car.. soundproof back and front to eliminate tyre noise and hood... The reason is Soundproofing material is damn heavy, and if whole car... FC sure increase...

If you planning to take carbon fibre hood.. take extra care =S Our weather not Carbon Fibre Friendly, Unless u always park indoors..

Hi everyone,i'm new to the forum and just got my Forte 1.6 EX Clear White and has just sent the car for first service smile.gif I have a few question:

1. The car steering feel solid when i'm driving in the city 80-90km/h..but i noticed whenever i'm on highway going over 110km/h the steering feel very loose.

2. I plan to change the stock 16" rim to 17" rim later. Will there be any difference to my FC or handling?

3. What can i do to improve my overall experience with the car?

Thanks everyone.

1. For 1.6 version don't have MPS so it won't be firm when u drive faster..just 2.0 got MPS
2. Handling and feel sure will have different

Anyone here experience that the rattling sound coming somewhere behind the driver seat when passing the uneven road? Like something not fit nicely or loose out. Neither from the dashboard nor seat belt.

Same to my taman auntiecand uncle those are Toyota and Honda supporter.  When I brought my forte last 3 weeks, they question me is this  car cost more than 100k RM.  rclxms.gif ...  I am so proud of this car...

I'm a proud owner of forte 2.0 sx one month ago. A few friends also thought that the car is above RM100K with the cool design and full specs. It's really great value for money. Just travelled to/fro Taiping/Ipoh this week. Good ride though out the trip smile.gif

Yah, T & H cars have dominated the M'sia market for too long, overpriced and less features yet can still sell hmm.gif Difficult to change their perception of korean cars unless more are on the roads. I can see more hyundai/kia cars now, esp Forte smile.gif Hope the resale value will improve in the next few years. Right now, enjoying my driving experience.

Something for fun:

1.6 EX/SX 6 speed owners:

39 Clear White
17 Titanium Silver
6 Bright Silver
4 Metal Bronze
2 Black

I am surprised black has only 2 owners and no one owned the spicy red?

I think the white smoke is normal. I noticed that especially when your start engine from cold morning.

About the 'clutch' sound... i dont have this problem everyday reverse my car out from my house.
*
I think the 'clutch' sound only happened when the car is on sloppy or uneven road. My house where I park my car is not on flat road. So when moving forward or reverse, there is always this 'clutch' sound when i shift from P to D or R. Doesn't like the sound coz I thought might damage the gearbox somehow. Had my first 1KM service at CSL last Thursday. SC said it's normal when shifting gear on slopping road. hmm.gif

Not surprising Clear white is the most popular color for forte. I'm sure it's the same for 2.0 sx. Clear white is my 1st choice but after 2nd thought went for T. Silver. Less headache with cleaning & maintain. rolleyes.gif

I had actually wanted the titanium silver,but for that colour it has a long waiting period. That's why i got my clear white,i think it looks bigger and i got it in only 4 days icon_rolleyes.gif
