What is the special of PIAA brand?
My car wiper blade already making noise, few months only >.<

KIA JNS share with me, the best they have tried is 32 front and 34 rear.
You may test it.

I agree with u in term of common sense, that should apply for most cars.

However, the manager/boss of JNS has shared his experience with me. They have lots of experience with Forte since 2009. So I am willing to try out, no harm to try out right?

JNS is the best SC as reported by Penang Fortezen, i have good experience too.

Yes, I did alignment at JNS, but not FOC, they will charge $$
Not sure about camber thing. Why don't u just call up and ask them?

PS3 is performance tyre, good choice. If u have budget go for it.

Im using Conti MC5, don't know where manufactured, not so important for me.

RM380 is within market range, but I read from FB forte group, most ppl can get around 350, the lowest reported is 320!

MC5 is mixture of comfort and slighty performance type. Personal experience, it's much much more comfort than stock silverstone.

Wet and dry is both good for me as I don't drive too fast/aggressive.

Noise level is bit abvious starting 80km/h but still acceptable. After 110km/h can hear more noise. Also depend on road condition.

this thread is moving too fast

the first and second look 99% same

hey guys,

i withdraw my old car NCD 55% to my Forte when i was purchasing it Aug 2012.

until now the NCD withdrawal still not refund to me by the dealer company. i suspect the SA "eaten" my money. Because i can see my Forte is already 55% NCD view from online website.

sifu, please kindly advise, thanks.

thanks for the advice.
i'm sure the withdrawal from old car insurance is successfully, i have the endorsement and the receipt copy for my top up after NCD withdraw.

however, i didn't check with my Forte's insurance company whether they have release the money to the Kia dealer.
I assumed that the Kia dealer already received, but the Kia dealer just keep delay to pay me the amount.

i chase them since Sept 2012 until now, every week. now i chase every day. the damn SA!


yes, after withdraw the NCD from old car insurance, i have to top up the amount due to the old car insurance's NCD=0% , no more discount.

now the NCD transferred to Forte punya insurance company, i should be getting the NCD=55% which is about RM1300. already 5 months still cannot settle for me, how bad the service.

every time he said "ok ok i will do for u" end up nothing. many kind of excuses come out. shit!

Do u get more mileage with new rims?
Some ppl said lighter rim improve FC, how true is it?

Thanks. My city drive FC really sux.
Always 12L/100km.

Thanks. I think the lost momentum feel is because the lighter rim get more efficiency to slow down when engine breaking happens, maybe?

Mine initially was switch to fresh air when I turn off AC, I don't like that.
Sometime accidentally switch to auto mode, it will turn to fresh air intake
If I didn't monitor closely, I would have to breath dirty air from outside.

Here is how I tune it to maintain at indoor circulation permanently.

1. Power up the car without starting engine. Make sure aircond is not switch on.
2. Press the windscreen demisting button (the one on the left of the aircond screen)
3. Hold down the A/C button while pressing the AIR RECIRCULATE button repeatedly very quickly (the button with the orange LED)
4. If successful, the entire aircond screen will blink. Stop pressing AIR RECIRCULATE but continue to hold down your A/C button until the screen stop blinking.

Try at your own risk, hehe

Haha, I did twice only success.
No need video just try it out, simple only.

If failed, it will remain the same (base on my case, nothing change).

How to redo? Off the engine and back to step 1.

I got this from a member from Forte Facebook group, forgot which group already hehe
Anyway, this is useful for me, the setting already fix at indoor circulate, im happy with it.

Agreed with u. Outside many ppl so "black", many from the darkside

I just get back my insurance NCD after long wait for 6 months. The SA makan my money and I found a way escalate to his boss.

I was almost give up and plan to bring this up to court case (TTPM) but luckily I got the money from his own money.

Just want to warn potential buyer from Nortern Region, plssssss don't ever buy car from the dealer "LXX KXXX"

Also, don't buy car from broker/middle man, although they tried to use better offer to attract u!
Whatever problem happen they will just ignore and pretend the problem not belongs to their control! very very irresponsible!

PENANG (northern region) guys, if u considering to buy Kia car, don't trust the Penang SA who is active here, I don't want to mention his name but u can PM me. I will be glad to help to minimize victim numbers.

Good luck!

best of luck to you, bro bear

I guess 150-200 for each tyre, depend mileage and condition.

Mine was trade in for 150/pc after 1000km service.
So I guess brand new maybe can get slightly more, just slightly hehe.

Wow, good price !
What tyre u have changed?

Me too, mc5, 370 each
But that shop give every great after sale service. No regret.

Not the same shop hehe, the shop I went to is in Bercham, Ipoh.
