QUOTE(barium @ Feb 25 2013, 12:11 AM) seems like good stuff to use, but if im using a car deodorant, will the air ionizer remove the deodorant smell onot ar??? i like how my car smells with the deodorant, but just the deodorant alone sometimes wont be able to cover the weird smell from the things i bring in my car...hmm yes will absorbs any car fragrances or deodorizer smells.. I got put Ambi Pur after tobacco and the Sharp thingy absorbs all of the smells in just minutes.. when I leave the car while engine running to take smth inside my house then went back inside the car, I can't smell anything from the Ambi Pur.. which brings me to the question why I bought an Ambi Pur all of sudden from the Aeon Jusco

QUOTE(izputra @ Feb 25 2013, 12:15 AM) Yupp..a bit noisy when accelerating & decelerating (buzzing sound). But when cruising at constant speed, Preve is quieter than my Forte..perhaps becoz of the smaller tyre width (Preve). I'm not sure about the 6 speed Forte though becoz i heard the 6 speed Forte got better sound insulation than the 4 speed Forte (mine) oh you mean tayar.. change it all to Michelin everything about the road noise kao tim lah  perhaps will be more quieter than Preve you will nvr know

QUOTE(izputra @ Feb 25 2013, 12:32 AM) I mean overall noise actually including engine noise..i compare forte stock tyre (Kumho last time) with preve stock tyre in this case oic.. I x pernah masuk rasa dlm 4 speed version.. can't really evaluate though hehe..

QUOTE(maru @ Feb 25 2013, 12:36 PM) superb noisy leh....i thought the car should be quiet I will tell u that with Michelin Primacy LC or PS3 even at 170km/h, tires rolling are still as low noise and low resistance like you're driving at 70km/h.. when was the last time you did ur wheels alignment and balancing.. ?

QUOTE(kraxyash @ Feb 25 2013, 01:49 PM) Even on dry weather road condition, I don't feel it grips properly. Especially around corners, it just slippery. Because I like to corner alot in high speeds. Kinda hard to explain, but it could be the tires are still new?  mine last time Silverstone Atlantis V7 till 10k km still limited grip, front wheels will tire slip and screeching sound when applied brakes abit sudden and harder even on dry pavement. see.. ? not only myself saying that..

QUOTE(siewstl @ Feb 25 2013, 03:23 PM) Bro, our SX model got ESP, how come it slip ? the brakes are pulsating asking for regain grip on the pavement and Silverstone refuses to regain grip for at least 2 secs.. how will u answer.. ? losing grip n just slips for 2 secs will cause various of unfortunate events

QUOTE(epo @ Feb 25 2013, 03:50 PM) care to elaborate in easier understand language...? means the brakes system vibrates "tot tot tot tot" brake pads grip, release, grip, release, grip, release which happens in milliseconds at the disc brakes to heightens the chances of that tires to regain back grip or safe contact on the road surface. Silverstone slips and not regained traction for 2 secs in event of loosing grip VS better performance/quality tires will still GRIPS harder during ABS and TC system kick in (pulsating brakes) with very minimal slips because tires have good grip. Thus stopping distance is drastically reduced.

Suddenly car reduce the speed automatic... that one is ESP and CBC (cornering brake control) kicks in together, slowing down ur car while cornering too hard when any wheels lost traction..

QUOTE(craxors @ Feb 25 2013, 04:18 PM) "sway" action also can coursed by our torsion system. no matter how good tires under stock absorbers and suspension, rear wheels still will sway at any curved flyover when passes on road joining line.. in that situation "sway" doesn't related to tires grip.. I mentioned losing grip on stock tires mostly on straightline.. especially when a car in front suddenly emergency brake and cuts in your lane.. I was always afraid I will bang the car in front punya arse..

QUOTE(fierdrop @ Feb 25 2013, 07:19 PM) guys, gonna be a proud owner of forte this thursday. so might want to change tyre + rim sekali, but i can't afford ps3 those premium tyre, in your opinion guys, which is better in terms of grip for wet & dry on ATR sport 2 or nt8000? i am doing sales jobs. BTW, Sharp plasmacluster is actually better cause they emit (+) & (-) ions to remove d odours, last time i bought for rm350 only. now they come out with a new version with turbo, so expensive abit already.  budget constraint users should typically go for Michelin XM2 for reasonably quiet and comfort ride, grip is aftermarket standard from stock quality.. avg price for better grip and performance while sacrificing abit of comfort and quietness should be the popular choice Yokohama C-Drive2.. do read more reviews and understand what u need and expect before you give away your cash..

QUOTE(rompers @ Feb 26 2013, 12:59 PM) Agreed that the weight of the car (inclusive of stock rims) will get the momentum going...but if you noticed, it takes quite a distance for the Forte to come to a full stop! My first impression during my first highway run back to hometown was, "Wah, cannot simply tailgate cars on the highway already coz it's quite difficult to put the Forte to a stop in the event of an emergency situation." IMHO, my first mod will most prolly be better brake pads first (besides changing the tyres once they wear out). Using Silverstone.. ? even u change ur brake pads for better stopping power, your stock tires lagi cannot grip on the tarmac and slips/skids even more easily eventhough ABS and BA system kicks in which makes the system harder to control the tire grip.. better grip and quality tires makes the safety stopping and traction feature ABS, BA, ESP does their work more effectively..
