Congrats! tell us the experience

Morning ..im planning to do the sound proofing for my k5? anyone did b4? May i know how much the total damage?

Finally managed to test my FC driving at 110kmph for the entire full tank. Based on the 'fill-drive-fill-measure' concept, i covered 1011km on 76L of fuel. 90% of the journey was at a constant 110kmph. This equates to about 7.52L/100km average over 1000+km.

Dear K5ers,

SA called and said will get car in 1 - 2 weeks time. Bright Silver. Can help me decide what minor mod to do first, without voiding any warranty one? Major mod after 10K service, he he ...

My 1st 4 choices are as follows:-

1. Tinting (Security or Normal?)
2. Tom's Stickers to protect against stone chip/scratches
3. Floor Mat (Yuma's or similar quality) for in-car and boot
4. Paint Coating (Sierra Glow?)

In what sequence would you do first?

** Note: At time of posting, FB down (maintenance mode) so can only receive poison there later...

Added on November 16, 2012, 5:35 pmIf KL Auto, most basic one about RM1K++, recommend to go for the RM3K++ one for better effect. Some of the members did the whole car (foaming + sound proofing) at between RM5K++ to RM7K++

Good thing about foaming + sound proofing is that you can do it in stages, and you can enjoy the effect stage by stage. But, if you have the budget, can do one shot plus a few sound, light, view and anti-hijack system there as well. Pls refer to FB (http://myk5club.com/) for more poison...

Wah getting a car in Dec? In 1 month time, your car will be in its 2nd year of ownership and worth 12-15K less. You should have just waited for a 2013 manufactured model.

Understand bro, much like you, yes I would like to have a higher RV later, but like most member here, I choose K5 based on personal decision and wanted to get the car for the experience of owning it and driving it, rather than worry for the value when I sell the car later...

However, when I book the car in September, it was the Theta II engine model, until my SA advice me to wait for the NU engine, which I did. Unless facelift model coming in next 1 or 2 months, this waiting game not worth it.

My only mistake (though a happy one ) is joining http://myk5club.com/ too soon without having the car

Same thoughts here on the RV part too, bro. I'm also hoping to get mine in 1-2 weeks time. Which outlet u went to?

Similar to yours but my priorities of "mods"/addons are:
1. Tom's Stickers (Exterior protection against scratches & interior brushed aluminium strips -for dash & four doors) - kena poison by http://myk5club.com/
2. Floor Mats
3. Sierra Glow
4. Tinting <--- This i have to carefully survey around for reasonable pricing and most importantly good workmanship. Anyone kind enough to advise? I'm still browsing through the humongous mods in the K5 club FB
5. Foaming+Soundproofing
6. GPS NAV Touchscreen - K5 almost 1 year in m'sia and still no decent ones available?

I wonder anyone can can custom mounting of tablet such as this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gQoGfWikOg

I have a Galaxy Tab 7.0 and its kinda under use and it will be great to install there and connect to the infinity sound system and I can use it as navigator as well...

looking the best deal in penang?

PM me~

Great! What colour are you getting?

5 & 6 is definitely worth getting. But under my major mod list after 10K service. I already bought the full stripe rear tail light and planning to buy the auto-fold side mirror. I figure if you need to open up your baby, might as well do it one shot. Also can get the accessory shop to do some additional work in case some of the minor cases like the sun roof need lubrication, wiper needs changing to silicone, fog light change to LED type, etc. and the list can goes on and on depending how much poison you can take. Lastly, the front camera or sensor (choose one)...

As for tint, I have use Air Cool for my last couple of cars and they are pretty good, but since I got Raytech voucher, will also check this one out and of course, poison by FB site, RhinePro price and specs looks decent and very affordable. Some of my company cars uses V-Cool which I think is overly priced !!

Just saw the NU engine much more quiet than the Theta II engine on FB. Looks like the really worth the wait for the NU engine

Other question I PM you later. Can't wait for the ride, cheers

Bright Silver

Wah so fast bought the tail lights d

Yeah, have checked out the RhinePro, and it looks good most probably will go for this but need to find the best guy to do it.

Initially, prior to the NU engine release, KIA got problem with getting AP approval and pricing revision issue, there were delays in getting the CBU cars. After the AP issue settle, if confirm order, my SA commits 1 - 2 weeks delivery, which means 2 - 4 weeks to me can get the car. After that SA ask want the Theta II engine model still or wait for NU engine, so choose to wait lor...

Since this my first time buying accessories off the Internet, and I assume will take time, I try and see to buy one item first to get the experience.

Maybe I am a bit unlucky, it took close to a month (after some mix-up & confusion) for me to get the goods.

My plan is to budget for the most important minor mod first, then slowly order additional acc. one by one. If get car by end of this month, 10K service will probably be in 3 - 4 months time, and one shot do all the major mod together.

Need to save $$$$, as year end spending+CNY, will burn extreme deep hole in pocket

Just gotten the price for Raytech Centurion Series, PM me if you want more info. Maybe can exchange price and specs info as well on RhinePro

Congratulation bro, Enjoy your drive !

Hi guys. Do you all know any service center that allows us to use our own engine oil?

Has anybody actually activated the Stability Control function on their K5? Ive tried pushing my car hard into corners but somehow cant seem to activate. Would a light come on?

it does light on on me last week on my genting touge session after done auto form on my k5.. there was few corners tat i tried to attempt FIFO (fast in fast out) but fail due to Traction control was activated and the system 'cut' my acceleration dirrectly..and drop by to first gear...

So it does light up? Any buzzer?
