if in Cheras area, where is the nearest showroom for test drive ?

Any Kia dealer would have test drive for 1.6sx...if you want test drive 2.0sx or even KOUP, only is Bangsar (they open till 9pm i think)

Here you go.

user posted image
DRL cable pulled inside from behind of the bumper .

user posted image
Cable run beside the car battery.
user posted image
Cable go connected to grounding before going into relay box.

user posted image
Extra fuse and relay for the DRL.

user posted image
Zoom out on relay box.

This installation is without switch. Turn on engine, DRL auto turn. Can't off while engine running.
You can put switch though. But they'll have to run longer cable for switch then.

Hi sifusssss, I received my 2.0 forte last week. I'm wondering it is common or my car FC is higher? according to the meter, it shown 12.6/100km. is it normal for new car 2.0 or my driving skill problem? stuck in the jam, it will count as well? I stuck in the jam last monday for almost 2hrs, is that causing this?

and changing to iridium plug and K&N filter will help? thanks thanks smile.gif
*
New car/engine need break-in (google what is engine break in)....'usually' YES FC will be 'slightly' higher but u can't expect 2.0 FC goes like 1.6...but 1.6 can go like 2.0 if you high rev biggrin.gif....

QUOTE(bennedict82 @ Feb 7 2013, 12:56 PM)
Driving skill will help first. Attend these training/briefing. I have attended. I have same thoughts with this teacher.

If you got money, change to better LRR tyre ... Michelin Primacy LC, PS3, Yokohama Advan DB551, Goodyea F1 Ays 2. Your tyre still new, go for trade in, sure get good value.

i also faced the same pain with you...car milleague less than 1k. now only go to 650km.

when i see the FC, really heart pain. so pratice not to monitor the FC meter. just drive as your normal style.
*
Thats why (no offence)...alot ppl think *(Even myself) tot big CC pickup (or up hill etc) sure nice - which is PARTIALLY correct BUT IF YOU are in CITY.....Jam all time....HARDLY outstation or highway....1.6sx (which save u around 12K) is much for worth it....somemore 2.0 roadtax not cheap..since edi get it just have to use to it if you are upgrading from small CC...

QUOTE(darel_lee @ Feb 7 2013, 04:00 PM)
Why? FALKEN not good?  Falken 522.
The tyre shop said it's not as good as Michelin but still provide lesser noise than stock tyre. It's rm200 cheaper than Michelin. My old car user Falken quite good. Nose tolerable
*
Falken is hardcore moderate person tyre...comfort isn't that much


QUOTE(aCCeBeR @ Feb 7 2013, 04:17 PM)
i noticed a big difference if you try to control the rpm around 2k or 3k .. then you will be saving some fuel..

that is what i am currently practicing .. and it actually went down from 12-13 km/l  to 11-12km/l..

i am trying hard hopefully can get a better FC..
hehe~~~
*
To be frank, alot of ppl really dunno how to drive a AUTOMATIC transmission car....all this while i were driving a manual car, this will be my FIRST auto car and you MUST know the TECHNIQUE of controlling throttle...not just about 'MAINTAINING' at certain RPM etc....you need to play around with your throttle...and AUTO car is NOT meant for HIGH REV..but with pedal shift, alot ppl like to DRAG their gearbox.... rclxub.gif

By revving up to 6K rpm, once in a full moon, would also help to de-carbonize your engine/exhaust-valve system tongue.gif

I scratch my door badly today... Sigh... Planning to get it polish but my car already coated... Wht else can I do to get rid the scratch marks?

how bad was it ? depend what coating you using. Some just light polish will able to remove, some will require compound to remove the coating - NO coating is NOT removable.
