You sure spare tire 12kg? I would say it is 20kg.... I will throw out the 20kg spare tyre to improve FC  rclxm9.gif

Ur spare tyre = same as your stock rim ...if you say its 20kg mean ur 4 rims + tyre taken at least 100km and now changing to 7.7kg rim only improve 5% performance ?? unsure.gif unsure.gif

I choose lighter rim. i guess this rim around 7-8kg.

And test drive just now with my friend. We agreed on few things

1. Car more lighter, like driving my old proton. Can feel like not so stable. I believe because of not get used to it.
2. Tyre Atlantis V7 noise become worse. I believe the tyre not press hard grip the ground now and noisy now ...
3. Pickup improve.. especially from traffic light. Can accelerate more faster, not like big pig last time
4. Lost momentum - You need to press the accel pedal consistently on the highway to keep tyre rolling...

I dont think FC will improve for mixed city and highway drive. If always drive in city, definately will improve.

Overall, it is very good experience... smile.gif

Would like to know is paddle lock suitable for forte ?will it void warranty .? As I know that they will plug into some plug near the bottom of steering ?

Anyone used it before ?

Is there any other security lock if paddle lock is not suitable ?

I think the brand is lock tech

Locktech is plug and play. No contact to any electronic of the car i dun see why warranty void

Hello,
Can you all confirm if we change rims+tyres and balancing+alignment will void 5 yrs warranty?

In case any 'wheel' or suspension rather issue later, SC have the right to void your warranty , DEPEND on situation.

A 'good' set of lock nute cost at least RM200 sweat.gif

QUOTE(Ah_Bear @ Jan 28 2013, 03:54 PM)
rims lighter.. driving it will feel lighter at the below chassis because Atlantis V7 tyre rubber is not sticky to the ground..
I didn't feel any loss of solidity and grip on my PS3..  smile.gif

I find that momentum speed is still the same though.. just that drop down gear pick-up can feel its build up speed more quickly than last time if not noticable..
*
As long diameter the same your momentum shouldn't change just the 'CHANGE' of speed - during pickup might feel a little

QUOTE(Ah_Bear @ Jan 28 2013, 04:04 PM)
as g88 mentioned, anyone staying nearby Setapak who applied 1 day leave to bring their wifey to Setapak SC and willing to kill long time waiting there for at least 2-3 hours by all means can give it a try..
after all the ample seating space of customers lounge upstairs can keep customers comfy while waiting for 2-3 hours just for very basic minor service (changing engine oil)  tongue.gif

for those who wanna send there to fix any electronics / mechanically / QC defects.. don't put on very high hope to Chan Sow Lin and Setapak branch personnels..

Hi guys.. im back! haha...any new poison yet? my forte got repaired already..  tongue.gif

Thanks to SC Sri Kembangan..

It takes about 2 hours to settle it. They check whats the problem is and they found my forte ECU got damaged already after 1 week+.. they said this is the 1st time they saw like this. The ECU sudah shock already la i think.. cannot send signal to another part.. they said this ECU cost almost RM4k..wow.. they take a new ECU from another new car to replaced mine as they said I need to wait another day because need to wait for the stock ECU to come. So they will replaced back the ECU to the new car when the stock arrived.

Now my FC better.. last time 22L/100km when my car rosak.. dem!! haha..

Special thanks to Edwin Aka motorman for helping me to get SC Sri Kembangan Manager, Simon to help me.. Boss turun padang check my car  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

Will go this SC till i change new car  tongue.gif

Good SA! thanks again Edwin and Simon!  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

I never like to add nut to chamber nut to 'force' the arm, if rim and tyre is in good condition + ALLIGNMENT sifu is powerful, you never need add chamber nut

QUOTE(bennedict82 @ Jan 28 2013, 08:23 PM)
Now I have a question about bolt nuts. I saw when they tighten the nuts, they didn't use air gun but only wrench by hand. Why they don't want to use air gun? Could that be the case that the bolt nuts is low quality and they afraid the air gun will break the nuts?
*
If they just air gun, just in case u puncit...there are ppl stuck with loosen the bolt + air gun might damage the bolt and nut if used at wrong speed.

About camber nut, Now the Tyre Shop told me the camber run out. few months back when I sent for left pull problem, not sure if the SC purposely adjust the camber to fix left pull problem.
For wheel nuts, I understand it will complicate when we need to change tyre. I will just hope they don't give me lousy nuts.
Is that mean even good quality wheel nuts only can be tighten with torque wrench but not air gun?
Ah Bear, what brand of wheel nut you using now? Did you notice how they tighten your nut? torque wrench or impact wrench?

How about yours, lil_twist?
*
By default, the car from factory shouldn't have ANY chamber screw but then ppl always want their chamber offset better (for cornering) as well if tyre wear off (by driver) they will use chamber screw to 'level' back the surface....

If you see lock nut at this price (most of time they look very fancy - colour) http://www.mudah.my/Rays+Lock+Nut+1+5MM+At...MM-15736041.htm this are very low quality nut...using air gun or even with hand..aiya..bottom line DURABILITY is not there - REMEMBER your life is ON this nut (just like you change to better tyre)
