Ok. Thanks for your advice. Will try that..

Regarding engine oil, you must ask the SC give you 5w30. They have it. Or they may give you other grade of oil.

Hi all,
I am wondering if Penang KIA JNS do tyre balancing and alignment? Because when the time I changed rim, they told me my camber is not accurate. They want to fix for me with addtional charges.

I told them will go back to KIA SC and ask for warranty. Not sure if JNS will have computer to measure camber or not...

Please advice.

Really? Steven told me 33PSI front and 32PSI rear tyres. Nevermind, I will check with him this coming Saturday.

Hello,
Don't be like that. I just ask for confirmation. Nothing about believe or dont believe...

The rules is, listen to more will get more better answer.

If you are not happy, you just can ignore me. thanks.

Never happened to my Forte. I suggest you continue monitor for a while. check if this only happened when you are in certain area. If this happened everywhere, better go to SC to claim warranty.

Ok Great! Since they have can do alignment, I believe they have computer to measure camber. I will ask them to check this Saturday. thanks a lot

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?

Ok. No problem. I will try to find out and let you know this Saturday.

Haha ... Not really true. Below is more comments

1. Car more lighter, like driving my old proton. Can feel like not so stable. I believe because of not get used to it.
<This could be my wrong feeling. Maybe just don't get use to lighter car now>

2. Tyre Atlantis V7 noise become worse. I believe the tyre not press hard grip the ground now and noisy now ...
<This is cons if still use back the stock tyre. Bear has no such problem>

3. Pickup improve.. especially from traffic light. Can accelerate more faster, not like big pig last time
<This is pros for city drive>

4. Lost momentum - You need to press the accel pedal consistently on the highway to keep tyre rolling...
<This is cons for high way drive>

So you're right, 2 cons and 1 pros if use back the stock tyre.

Next thing is to change tyre.

Yes... stiffer. But I think at the same time it will make the rim easier get dented. right?

Surprising me also, After they installed spring rubber, they told me need to change every six months..

HKS still can survive ...

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?

I sensed that already... I believe they installed cheap one for me! Thanks for your advice. What brand of wheel nut should I get? Can you recommend good one but the price not over RM150 lah ... over budget.

Yes. Petronas. Ask for full sync 5w30. If they give you half sync, means you have to do service every 5k mileage. Not worth.

Walao .. cannot take it .... really invest a lot .. But good to have representative from Penang

Yes. I am from Penang mainland. I am not brother level. I am uncle level already.

Go for Advanti N993. It is using M.A.T. tech and very light rim 7.4kg but quality and strength enough than other rims. Earlier I tried to source for this one also but only available in KL. End up I go for Lenso brand.

Everyone changing rims.

Ask Naza Kia not to sell the car with the rims. Remove the rims and lousy Atlantis V7 tyre and give us RM2000 rebate.

Edwin the motorman, please feedback to Naza. they are wasting buyer money replace rim+tyre after sell.

Yes. I upgraded to Lenso Project D - Spec C (PDC) as below. it cost about RM1700 in Penang. The N993 is around RM2200.

I compared with Spec B, C, D and E. The Spec C is most lightest (I think between 7.5kg-8kg) among them with the size 17"x7.

The Spec E (PDE) is the most garang for our Forte. But the size is 17"x7.5. Later Naza SC might void the warranty.

I LISTEN to all the fortezens here, they asked me to choose PDC.... I LISTEN to rakyat ...
Also, I prefer better performance with light rim, dont want to kacau warranty.. so I choose Spec C.

One question, where you drive most of the time? urban or highway area? the light rim will give you good experience in City Drive. Pickup and braking ... all handling are good with light rim in city or urban area..

But if you drive always on highway... Heavier rim serve you better, more steady and momentum to roll better and save fuel. this is my personal experience.
