Hi, firestorm will make the spark plug burn to more dark and need change faster? i saw some post say about it last time  hmm.gif

nope, it will not cause such issue.

The person encountering such issue is probably his car's engine already at an early stage of defect when he install Firestorm.

I've install FS closing to a year now and my spark plug is going to cover 12,000km soon. Still no noticeable drop in performance or misfiring (symptoms of failing spark plugs). Moreover, being a car with CVT, I always let my engine constantly rev close the redline whenever I am at MEX, NPE or Kesas.

strong spark will shorten the life span of the electrode
*
that depends on the spark. If the large spark is created as a result of a strong current to raise the voltage, then the wear and tear rate will be faster.

for firestorm case, the spark is made stronger by increasing the efficiency of voltage and at the same time lowers the current, hence the wear and tear rate remains unaffected.

What would be the optimum tire pressure for stock tire? What I saw on the side of the door is that front and back is the same, 32 psi. What I experienced from the last car is that front is always 2 psi more than back. I think the same applies to all car.

After I pump 32psi for the front, the tire looks like it has not enough air. Still looked flat. Is this normal?

*
If you are comfortable with 2 psi more at the front then you can proceed. Those stated on the doors are recommended tire pressure only. merely a guideline, not a rule.

the front tires is sagging because the weight of the engine is pressing down on them. normal.

To those civic fanboys, please stay away from us if you have nothing else to do in your JUNK cabin.

I was driving happily alone on Kesas this afternoon, keeping my car in the middle lane at 90km/h. Tak pasal pasal this fan boy come cucuk me. Little boy with civic ah, right lane empty la. Either go right lane or keep distance away from me. Cucuk me for nothing for what?

Being cucuk for like 1 minute or so, I decided to step on it, he chased. At 130, I downshifted 2 gear and started sprinting. I am sure he did not see it coming. What? Your civic cannot use pedal shift without pushing your joy stick ah? Or you don't have pedal shift?

Tutup kedai la. If you can't even chase at 160, don't simply cucuk FORTE. I saw your plate, WX* 7494. But I cannot see if you are a 2.0 or 1.8, because I was never at your back. You know who you are fan boy. So the next time you see me in Kesas, drive away from me. Fan boy!

civic wo...
*
Normally I only cruise 80kmh on the middle lane at Kesas.

Lantak mak bapak diaorang siapa yang cucuk aku. laugh.gif
I can afford to not give a F**k.

When they are bored, or they sense they can't trap me to "play their game" they will suddenly realize the existence of right lane and overtake me. lol

NO, that would be an act which indicates you're also an ass.

The one behind you is already driving like an ass, so why should you lower down your esteem to join the ass behind and be an ass also?

Tough glue stains can be easily removed using this.

Can be found at Ace hardware (This small bottle cost around RM10, so use wisely!).

It is safe on car paint, plastic, glass, ceramic, bla bla bla.

Just got back from JNS service centre..
Went there to lodge a complain on dashboard rattle issue. The mechanic take a look, then drive 1 round to identify the noise. Then they try what they can; tighten up some nuts/screw etc..& the rattling noise still wont go after we took a spin..
In the end, they need to submit for warranty claim to open the dashboard. And it takes more than a month to get it done (im the 10th car in queue). Also, i was told to leave my car at SC for 3 days to rectify the problem..

I wonder how this can be settle if all the CKD Forte were affected. Naza should really look into this matter seriously..
A month ago, i was so anticipated to get on hand with my new Forte, and fast forward to a month later...the rattling noise driving me nuts, makes me think back, am i making the right choice? questioning the reliability of this car once again..  sad.gif

sub par quality issues does plague most if not all CKD cars.

A CKD BMW 523i also has rattle and squeaks and uneven gap panels on the dashboard and doortrim.

i see, V12Kompressor what is the SUPER advantage vs non SUPER ?

a little bit more powerful than normal only. For Forte, normal is sufficient. I don't really recommend super unless you're driving big heavy cars like Honda Accord, BMW 5 series, etc.
