not met them. just saw them from the waiting room.
too many cars for the clinic. suppose sent there 10am but the korean guys have a wrap-up meeting that morning. change to afternoon.. sending my car at 2.00 pm.
can see my car still park outside until 5.24pm they bring it inside..
but no one even not the korean engineer checking my car until 5.42pm.
after 20 min checking... they conclude this is the first time happened.
need to order from korea if no stock.

they said its the 'coupling' problem.. not sure what coupling he meant..

but, i filled up the 'form of service satisfaction'. put some suggestion for them to improve their service and experdite the process.
no need for me to wait 4 1/2 hours just to get the answer "no stock, need to order, will call back later". doh.gif

It's the NEFD bumper, v2 with the square fog lamp. Got it aftermarket parts at ACM Motorsports at Balakong. Paint, fix and all should be around 1.4k. My ori bumper clips broken giving me problems hence the change.

And I don't think there's any warranty for bumper. You break it, need to pay full price for a new one from sc.

1.4k only for the bumper?
If i wan the bumper+ rear spoiler, side skirt (full set) how much?
I m planning to book a forte soon, thinking of get cash rebate then terus use the money to change to this NEFD wink.gif

I suggest u request from your SA to use the cash rebate to buy the bodykit u want.

If ur SA kind enough he should be able to give u his special price for the bodykit instead of u buying outside with customer price. smile.gif

hey guys, want to ask some questions.

1) my car is 5 months old, what do u guys think is it necessary to install Locktech? any other option available to add-in security?

2) Has anyone change to K&N air filter together with Iridium spark plug? How is the performance and FC? Mine is only using K&N filter with firestorm booster, i heard that K&N must work with Iridium plug to get better FC. how true is it?

3) Any recommendation for leather seat? i saw full leather include the door panel cost RM2250.

4) Crank pully RM350. is it a good mod? the only concern is warranty. what do u think?


Thanks.

I can't answer on other questions but I could answer your crank pulley question. It's a good mod. More responsive. But make sure u get a reputable brand. Like Mythelogy

hi guys.. just wondering..
what's the difference between potent booster and firestorm?
in term what it does n performance?
...price also.
*
potent booster is just another one of those aftermarket throttle controller.. the only difference between this potent booster and those existing throttle controller is that it does not connect thru obd2..am not sure how its wired..so u can ask those who are selling with respect how its installed... as for how it works..depending if you are setting it on eco or sports mode...eco mode.. it will retard the % of your throttle opening.. whereas for sports mode it will increase the % of the throttle opening...just like that..bear in mind it does not increase hp or anything..it just quicken or slows down the throttle opening ni...

firestore is one of those ignition booster sort of device, safe that it is wired thru the fuse box for the ignition instead of direct wiring to the ignition coil..like those sun auto xpower or denuo...like the name suggest its just ignition booster..makes the spark more and hence more complete combustion and hence more power delivery...

price wise i tink potent booster goes for about 700+ or so..for other existing throttle controller, so far i know redline has one that is compatible for forte..that one goes for around 400+ i tink..

firestorm i tink is abt 200+ onwards or sth like tat? aside from that i tink the alternative will be denup..but tat cost alot more..looking at 1.5k like tat...

enjoy ur mod...of coz if u wish to forego ur warranty...

Firestorm doesn't void the car's warranty since it is only a plug and play device.

and secondly, although Firestorm delivers the same function as sun auto xpower or denuo or etc, but in terms on how they works, Firestorm is a more friendly towards the components. Other Ignition coil booster system works by raising the current to the ignition coil in order to boost voltage, but Firestorm itself raises the frequency of voltage and at the same time, lowers the current. A lower current results in longer lifespan for all electronic parts, especially the ignition coil and spark plugs.

Is the firestorm compatible with other mods like voltage stabilizer(EDGE VS). I believe that most mods if stand alone by itself is enhancing but will it clash with others??

1. Install 2 way alarm, price is vary depend on brand and features

2. Any washable air filter the FIRST impression given to the ENGINE / Driver upon installation is 'WOW, air flow is better and car pickup is better, psychologically you will feel FC is better first few few tank BUT nowadays modern car's ECU is smart enough where you can't CHEAT (Nor overwrite) its factory fuel mapping, only thing is a TRUE standalone ECU.

3. Yes any big or famous cushion factory will charge a set of leather seat cover + installation from RM1.8K upto RM4.5K depend type of leather you needed.

4. If you are referring to Mythelogy lightened crank pulley , yes it will give you better PICKUP but since your car is auto, after 2nd 3rd gear you won't feel much different. Yes warranty will be void.

Remember this. NO replacement for displacement. All gadget you going to spent to $$ which end up with FEW Ks can't be the change of your piston size (displacement). If you really wanna more power, go for standalone ECU but you can also forget about warranty anymore.
