Just have my HU's firmware upgraded, so far the reception seems better. Those having reception problem, can give it a try.

QUOTE(sstw @ Nov 12 2012, 11:26 PM) Hi guys. I want to ask those bros here that have changed their headlight to HID. I've checked the first page. It stated H11b. But I took out the lightbulb from my car and check the marking. It's H7. Also, for the fog light what's the code for it? Please advise. Thanks alot Headlights are H7 while Foglamp is 881 |

Any good suggestion for quiet tyres? Found that my stock tyres are causing a lot of noise above 80km/hr.
Anyone tried Hankook V12 / Michelin PS3? How is the tread wear and noise level? |

QUOTE(bennedict82 @ Nov 12 2012, 07:48 PM) I spoke with SC Agent before. They said the K&N will void warranty. They explain to me more powerful is because it filtering lesser and more dirts will be suck in. Also, the K&N will affect the ECU. Not sure how true it is. Then, how to cure the brake sound? Need to go for service? When I start the car and I brake.. the sound came out sharply.. I feel embarrass..So, you must remove it and replace back the original filter before send to service center. Added on November 12, 2012, 8:04 pm I guess is brake pad kena water. Try not to watering your tyre when it is hot. Try not to run thru the water when driving... |

End of story. Actually I still can't get over the creaking and rattling noises on the dashboard, left and right side of the car. Can't seem to trace where it is. Brought to SC, but every time mechanic drive, can't hear the sound I've set in my colleague's elantra, and I must say, the built quality is top notch. But no paddle shifters, the design (I prefer aggressive looks of forte), the value, and the god damned waiting list of elantra, I still think Forte edges out a little bit |
