When I test drive for 17 inch, I can hear the tyre running on the road as maybe due to wider surface. Then I try survey, heard if you are a fast driver, the 16 inch is better as more grip.

Yes it depends on your tyre pattern. Higher quality is better but of cause more costly.

16 inch of cause is cheaper thann 17 inch in terms of maintaining. Just bigger tyres look more elegant and safety

Bare in mind, bigger tyre may bring more fuel consumption as due to heavier. Forte only 1.6, so I tink is not neccessary for 17 inch unless you driving 2.0.

A fortian in LYN here jz change from 17 inch to 15 inch. Read back his previous post

I think you didnt see me. As I almost spent my time at the tyre shop..I wearing black shirt with blue jeans.
Now I'm at home..done my car at 2:00 clock something 
My car done servicing brake pad at 11:00 am then I sent my car next shop to change rim and tyre 

This is how its look. Trade in sport rim and tyre. They take stock sportrim rm800 and tyre rm480.
I dunno is the cheap or not. Said the rim is rm1800 and the Yoko CDrive 1 tyre 390/tyre.
So you can calculate the price 
Also piad extra for steel valve and Centre Cone for the rim. Rim not fitted as stock tyre.

I dunno how to upload image. 

Update: SC checked and said no problem with my FC.
Anyone know how to adjust the throttle? ---install throttle controller Because SC said cant adjust, everything is electronic. Damn. Full tank less than 400km is not normal for a city drive, even long distance.

SC however will make report to HQ to see how its going.

He gave me rm80. normal price rm100. Dunno cheap or not. 

Thanks 

I try 1st..shud be like this??

Happy 2013 guys! Share with you my baby 

but beware. open at your own risk 

frens, opinion here, my forte is white in color, thinking of doing either coating or waxing?
which do you guys prefer?

Coating
- Yes Pricy
- Depend how you maintain it. It your think after coating, only wash once a week or car is park under sunlight or acid rain all time, you can save your $$

Wax
- Yes Cheaper IF compare with coating but there is also expensive wax where you can use for years (e.g one CAN)
- Wax not a must polishing IF you able to main your paintwork well. Just TOP UP when you think your protection layer is getting thinner

Ur point of view is not very accurate. Sorry to say so

If your car is still new like only a few months and especially if its white, go do coating as soon as you can.

I have done mine with Sierra Glow at Subang. Trust me, u will not regret it.
The amount of time it takes to send your car for a good polish is the same as sending in your car for coating.
Price wise, i did mine sierra glow for only RM750, and believe me when I say it is not expensive.

The amount of maintenance that u do with your car on coating is rewarding. Just wash with PH neutral any ciplak brand shampoo will immediately bring back that shine.

Now how I maintain my coating? Occasionally I will send my car for a Macquire car wash, yes it may cost RM16-RM25 per wash.
But at least u are taking great care of your coat and paintjob.

Also once every month I will wash my car myself from evening time onwards just to have a personal feel and inspection of the car body, and also give it a good tender care wash on every crack and corners. Believe me, its rewarding.

Think about it, with RM750 can last you for years with a good warranty.
Have u ever wonder why certain cars u see on the road shines more while others shine but with swirls of hairline scratches...

By the way, the effort that those guys at Sierra Glow put into to give your car that shine and coating... you will know your money is well spend.

my 2 cents

Becareful when changing ur Foglight to HID, it sorta melted the insides of my foglamp casing.. LOL...

Retrofit a projector when using HID, if not HID wasted and glare ppl..

True, but once combusted, won't it become carbon? Engine oil will help clean up carbon etc? So basically ur engine oil won't last as long as stock air filter in place? Lol..

bent? still usable? Do you have photo share with me? I heard smaller rim will not bent easily. is that true?

Suggest you to go or bi-xenon projector.. You eill get high beam (HID) also.. Come TT.. I show you.... Foglamp, I suggest go backy I halogen, just change the color temperature to something similar to your "future" HID in the headlamp.. =S

Guys I want to ask forte 1.6ex no car alarm? I try not to close my door and unlock but no alarm sound.. Hope someone can clarifies this to me.. Thanks appreciate it..

erm... mind to share how long ago u applied sg? applied the coating on bodykits s well? he quoted me RM700 leh. mine is new car, less than 30 days.

i was trying to get michelin PS3 215/50/r17 tomorrow,
but the shop owner said 50 profile not suitable for forte cause will damage the gearbox in the long run. anyone can clarify this??
i need 50 profile thick tyre cuz last week i experience my atlantis v5 'pecah' after i hit some pothole. i was thinking 55 profile actually. anyone tried??

Totally agree!. I'm driving 99% city drive (consider federal hiway as city drive since everyday also jem.huhh!). my average FC is 10.5~11L/100km.
But if u consider overall package that comes with Forte its worth the price to compare with the same range of price "T-V***" "N-AL****" "H-C***" .
If FC is ur main concern here please go get viva 

If u ask this question here. Most will say forte is good. But anyhow. Depend on what u want for a car. If u wan cabin space + safety > value. Definitely forte is a value buy. If u wan FC / resale value more. There are other choices out there. Do check first page for maintenance and others info.

Yesterday got colleague ask me radio reception good or not. I said so far so good. If no good still got songs in car to listen. She asked can borrow cd to me. I said. Can't. It's inside my car. She asked again. So borrow me pendrive. I replied inside my car. Not inside pendrive. She stunned and asked her Honda accord got or not? So I reply her that I dunno. Hehe. Troll face.

1.68% only provided by Hong Leong Bank with condition, for 1.6SX only, which costs RM85,800. Of course there's some discounts from SA. Based on my previous calculation, I'd need to pay around 900 per month, 10% DP, 7 years and 1.68%, 1k discount. Worth or not worth is personal preference. For me I chose 1.6EX, that provides me most of the necessary requirements that I am looking for. Though, there's only RM100 difference for monthly repayment, I can see the difference is there and there's not a need to spend additional for a not lasting goods.

Just my 2 cents...
