Mine depends lor...

RM85 = 520km
RM75 = 420km
RM85 = 400km
RM80 = 410km

The first 1 is 70% highway... The rest is 90% city ride...
*
Pretty normal FC, mine FC almost similar with u.
Normally fully city drive (short distance and quite heavy jam) : RM80-85 can get 400-430km

Recent FC : 45% highway, 55% city drive (consider smooth no major heavy jam) can get 8.4L/100km equivalent to 0.17/km

My assumption, if fully highway (speed 90-110km/h) can break 600km with full tank.

RM290 plus installation.. its damn bright and crisp.. too bad it doesn't have dimmer function when
headlight is switched ON.. luckily at night still acceptable not too bright until can blind ppl's eyes..

Is it the drl will turn on when engine is start?
Or it has a dedicated switch to turn it on?

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.

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.

trade in my stoc rim + tyre = RM800. Good enough to accept?

FYI, I trade in my stock tyre at 1000km mileage.
Tyre shop eat back with RM600 and I replace with Continental MC5.

If your tyre and rim are good, I think 800 is too little.
Maybe just survey around and compare.

where you trade in your tyre? 1k milleague still can get Rm600 consider very good.

if totally brand new stock tyre + stock rim the max i can get is RM1500. RM200 per tyre if trade in brand new stock tyre.
*
At Ipoh Bercham, there is a shop called Weng Cheong, they provide very good service smile.gif
I was busy traveling when I get my car, so I only manage to trade in after cruising for 1k mileage.
Stock tyre silverstone really bad when I traveling between Penang-Ipoh-KL, that's why cannot tahan just trade in before it's too late.

Next plan will be trade in stock rim.
Don't know how much it worth now...

Rm400 for rims really low, I wouldn't accept it
What is normal price range for trade in?

QUOTE(brainz07 @ Jan 20 2013, 01:17 PM)
55 profile sure cannot fit...
I changed yoko C drive with 50 profile..ngam2 laa..but if 5 people inside ur car, feel free to hear the tyre "sagat" (touch ur body)

Do u feel heavier since the profile is thicker?

QUOTE(brainz07 @ Jan 20 2013, 01:23 PM)

Ya V7. Then can cool down u a bit...haha
I haven't trade in as I haven't get my ride. Probably by nex week if everything smooth.
So now survey abt tyre n tinted. I got quote for HO ard 1.5K. C70 for front and C50 for side n rear. This consider  good deal?

Most my fren ride VW using Llumar. Any comment abt this brand?
*
I'm using Huper Optik, how can I help?
HO price in Penang (I asked 2 shops) is around 1600-1700.

I'm very satisfied the result, fast cool down within 5-8mins after my ride is "burning" under hot sun in open car park from 8am-5pm.

I went to tyre shop today ... they have 2nd hand our stock rim 17 inch and let me carry ... really !@#@$!@#$!@#$!@# ... the weight too heavy man!!!!! No wonder our Forte FC so high ....

Really not easy to find 16" inch for Forte and the price to trade in too low sad.gif

Yup..my rim still new with no scratch or bent with 'K' logo..odometer 2700km during trade in  smile.gif

You did it right to trade in rim when it's new.
Mine got scratches already, don't know how much value left =.="

Which series of HO you use? 5-8min not consider long meh?
1600-1700 with security film?
*
It's Ceramic 70 and 40, non security film.

I mean if don't open the windows it take around 5mins to cool down (I didn't really measure the time, just estimate).

If open windows would take around 2 mins.
Aircond set at 22, fan speed level 2.

Actually it's very hard to describe in words, it's about feeling.

I don't have other tint/car to test. The only available to compare is my old Getz and my new Forte.

Getz is with tint RM450. With the same condition I feel painful and suffer under hot sun when I back from work. It take longer time to cool down and it is more heat when I get in.

My forte with HO is much much more cooler in whatever condition.

Its a taiwan brand...Wedsport is the name..before this i already share my pic..i tot its a 8++ kg laa because very light than stock rim without tyre  tongue.gif

Wanna ask advice for tinting.
Wil get my new forte b4 CNY.
SA offer me free Raytech 4mil wit irr50%
Then the raytech person advised to add extra 1500 for 5mil wit irr85%
For rm1500, should I go for raytech or other better brand?
Btw, can I ask the raytech person to install the free 4mil tinted,  then I use the rm1500 to buy other brand tinted add on it (double layer tinted)?

We should look for TSER for the heat rejection level, not the other number.

IMO Huper Optik is good around 1.5k-1.7k

I got quote 1.5k for c70 and c50s for side.
But TSER for HO only 47%. Consider good?
*
Mine is c70 and c40
Actually experience I'm satisfied with it. But I don't have other principal brand for comparison so I cannot give comment.

Try to look for different brand with different TSER. Then u should know which one is the best within your budget.

Guys,
I plan to replace my stock rim with Lenso ES6, or Raiden ProjectD type, do you think worth to replace it? I need to top up RM1K.

Wondering really help on acceleration and fuel consumption?

Due to budget constraint, will change the tyre some other time.

Please advice.
*
QUOTE(bennedict82 @ Jan 24 2013, 10:39 PM)
That could be fake ES6, or they willing to trade in my stock rim with higher price.

And how is your car perform after you get it replaced? Fc and Accel good?
*
My friend own a Forte 1.6sx 6speed with 17"rim
His brother own a Forte 1.6ex 4speed with 15"rim (old batch EX come with 15"rims)

He said the FC result almost similar for both.
So u judge yourself.
