I observed that when using paddle shift, FC is better..even when u raise the RPM up till 4-5k before shifting (which is a decent upshift point). Driving in auto mode can get you decent FC provided you monitor or observe the instant FC meter often. I've been doing this for past few weeks and can get a reasonable FC of 7.5-7.8. Another observation is that even though the RPM is high on 5th gear (comared to 6th), the instant FC shows no significant difference in the FC...i always thought higher RPM would result in worse FC..but anyway, as long as you know how to control your right foot, have good throttle control then your FC can be really reasonable. Pressing the pedal very hard vs half as hard makes a difference and the difference in terms of speed for those two might not be that much if you're on the right gear.

I came from manual background. I am very light on foot too. l/100 km up till now have not exceed 8.5. A 2.0 by the way. That is also because I 3 days vroom vroom for 3 separate tanks of fuel.

Even if I am from manual, I am still not getting used to the paddle shift. I cannot determine the what gear to drop to when ever I need to drop gear. After dropping, I would forget to upshift when I needed to. I drive with right hand most of the time, so sometimes when turn steering will forget to use left hand to downshift when i needed to.

Really need to drive like an F1 driver is really want to commit to drive with paddle shift. Now only use paddle shift to over take, or when I feel that the GB is taking too long time to upshift to higher gear ratio.


Any one here who has experience is using the paddle shift in full, using it like a manual car? Any tips to share?

Ok the SC finished my car at 11.30, take such long time coz they send the car to another shop aka wheel pro to do the alignment etc, perhaps they don't have the tool themselves, so i can't check about the camber is being fixed, when collect car the front desk staff explained that if the pull left issue still happen, come back within a week, at the same time i also did my first service with them, cost me rm243, also i mentioned the fuel lid issue and she said its fixed, i was confident with them so i didn't check, just take the key and drove away. After i drove to main road i found the pull left issue still there, not sure it got better or worsen coz i can't feel any changes before and after, i was thinking ok, maybe forte really have this issue, i can just live with it, after 15min i reach my destination, parked my car, before i come out i pulled the release trunk lid coz my bag is inside the trunk, then i was like wanna test the fuel lif too so i pulled it, found that it didn't release, tried again, same, now I'm thinking i need to waste my time again going back there

Go google and read about that is 5,30,40,10,50. Identify the difference n decide.

Of course can use. Mineral also can use. What grade also can use. But it affects performance la.

Mine I confirmed it is Syntium 3000. Whether it is 30 or 40 I need to check. I bet your car now feels very heavy.

Not yet. Still the same I think. Just that I scared its bad for the engine.
Manual said 5w30..5w40..best with 5w20..nothing else other than that.

This one is not for aesthetic only. It is actually working. You do not need to take out the stock antenna base to install. Just cap on top of the base. The colour is oem colour, so confirm matching.

Performance wise I saw Bro Iz review before in V8 or V9. Seems to be alright.

So who wanna do group buy? I can organise.

how much total cost? ETA?

been waiting someone to do this.... icon_idea.gif
