Future mods for me:

1) downgrade to 16" with Michelin PS3 215/55/16
2) get eibach pro kit...
3) change foglight and "lampu tinggi" to HID
4)forte koup front bumper.
5)k&n air filter

Anyone have mods any of above?
Can tell me BEFORE & AFTER?
Interms of performance & FC.(ignore no3&4 cause no effect just makeup)

bro i am not sfu, just own this car for 3 weeks+. just like other SIFU here,
make sure u dont go over 3k rpm. i know this is sick, but FC bro... bear in mind.
dont overtake & speeding when u think u going to stop or slow down in front eq; traffic light or another slow car ahead. not worth it.

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??

wahhh...damage gearbox?? ohmy.gif
I already changed to 50 profile with sport rim..lighter than stock rim..suddenly butterfly in my stomach  tongue.gif
but if you change to 55 surely you have to change tyre & rims to 205/55/r16..


Added on January 5, 2013, 3:13 pm

For no 1. if you used auto car boot lifter (the spring), then it a bit hard to close..based on the spring setting..
If i'm not mistaken from previous thread, can set the rubber or this one just for bonnet??
*
that why im trying to get sifu here to make it clear,, using 50 profile tyre will affect gearbox or not?

QUOTE(ddsu @ Jan 5 2013, 03:04 PM)
Using my car for 10 days. 2 things want to ask:
1. My carboot little bit hard to close. Is it normal for new forte or it just mine. The sound also not as padu as closing persona m-line carboot

2. Power window (driver side only) having this "clack" sound when i try to pull the switch after the window is fully shut
*
mine is just fine. not experiencing any above. or i just dont care ?

upon delivery of car... go to your trusted tyre shop n do alignment n balancing and also highspeed/on wheel balancing
my new forte has small pull left and bad balancing on highspeed

after that all is perfect and i can confidently go 150kmj with a peace of mind

same as my wife almera impul... a bil pull left and a bit bad balancing on the back
after that all is perfect and i can confidently go 130kmj with a peace of mind
*
I hit many pothholes last night. Really need allignment & everything. My steering is vibrating when driving 100km+.
Not comfortable ler... Btw anyone know where to get good&cheap forte foglight HID in KL? Can share price,address,shop name?
Thanks

Just change to HID. After that realize that my left light is kinda lowered. Go to SC they said cannot claim warranty because already modified to HID. Anyone know wer to get 1? "Lampu besar" is ok. Just the "lampu tinggi". Same level

Hello. Apa khabar. New white forte owner here 1.6 sx 6 speed, received today. While driving, found out that bila lepas steering, kereta akan ke kiri sedikit. Need to do alignment later. But is it normal for a new car? Why average starting from 8l/100km, then drive around city for a while then it slowly turn to 9L/100km ? My km still below 1000km.
*
high FC for city drive. 9-12l / 100km, normal 1....mine average 11l/100km always.. nod.gif
