QUOTE(vv001 @ Mar 4 2013, 10:25 PM) a brief feedback, just got the super firestorm installed in my forte2.0 today, this is my feedback. Hi vv001.1) tested both the normal and super firestorm, immediately i can feel the car response is diffferent, more responsive and easy pickup even up hill. 2) enginee is quiet and powerful. 3) on the way back home, slight press on the paddle my car already pecut easily reach 110km/h. superb pickup . will get back after 1 week testing. Pls let me know if u have any other mods (besides this Firestorm mod). Mods like Air Filter element, Spark Plugs (iridium, etc.), Voltage Stabilizer, Fuel Additives/Carbon cleaner, etc. Just simply list them down if u have any, in addition to he Firestorm thingy. Many thanks in advance for your time and efforts. QUOTE(luckykid5 @ Mar 4 2013, 10:41 PM) i totally agree with you. 2.0 has more features and definately more powerful when i press on the pedal. no doubt about it. but one of your comment 1.6 to drive smoother, in what sense? To my experience (and limited knowledge), 1.6L should provide a slightly better fuel economy for full town-driving environment (meaning with regular start-stops-idling time).EPS is available for both 1.6 premium and 2.0 right? i do agree with you 2.0 has more safety features. but i'm just curious to find out on the FC. i think you got me wrong. it's common sense that cars like myvi, fiesta, vios, etc have much better FC compare to C segment cars. after all, it's totally 2 different category. What I really wanna know is whether my own "common sense" is right or wrong. Meaning my own understanding is that 1.6L should be more petrol saving in city drive (assuming not more than 3 ppl in Forte) compare to 2.0 in city drive. But my friend's understanding was 2.0L should be more petrol saving in city drive (assuming not more than 3 ppl in Forte) compare to 1.6L in city drive. Now, which one of us are right? Let's make assumptions i'm the driver, use the same leg, same speed, same route, etc. all the same, and only comparison goes back to 1.6 vs 2.0. Which one have better FC? If 1.6L, for example, for a full tank, maybe it will not be more than 50km different? another example? I'm curious to find out. To be perfectly honest, if u do a little read-up on the correlation between higher C.C.ed cars and FC, you'll see the logic. However, pls bear in mind that this may not hold true for all car/engine models. Other mechanical/electronic features in a modern vehicle can assist towards the savings or wastage of fuel. It all depends on how a vehicle is actually set-up/factory tuned. |

I'm curious to find out. to prove whether which of you are true or false, spend some time seek or google and read more about how the weight/fc works. most important is how 1.6 and 2.0 engine differs if you want to go into that deep. city drive can be jammed and slow, it can be smooth traffic cruise too. city road could be on hill slope which need additional power to pull when drive too. too many to consider. for easy conclusion, if no traffic jam, if no traffic lights, if no hill, if no vrooommmm, if no heavy passengers, if no heavy luggages, then 1.6 definitely better.

QUOTE(rompers @ Mar 5 2013, 04:16 AM) Hi vv001. ok, first mod is the k&N filter, car increase in power? i not sure or i cant feel it as it is not significant. fc wise also no saving, i am getting 12l/100km. btw i am quite light on my foot. Pls let me know if u have any other mods (besides this Firestorm mod). Mods like Air Filter element, Spark Plugs (iridium, etc.), Voltage Stabilizer, Fuel Additives/Carbon cleaner, etc. Just simply list them down if u have any, in addition to he Firestorm thingy.

It all depends on how a vehicle is actually set-up/factory tuned. 2nd mod which i did yesterday, install firestorm super, really feel the car got power and the troutle is light, press abit already got power, if got chance try contact bro v12 for demo in your car. worth the every buck u spend, because you are getting instant power. others are all stock. i dont plan to upgrade or mod anymore . $$$$ habis. haha This post has been edited by vv001: Mar 5 2013, 02:46 PM |

QUOTE(V12Kompressor @ Mar 4 2013, 11:07 PM) My dad's KIA (yes, my family has a KIA... the picture shows is inside the box? So, for the same X,XXX money, I rather buy some cheaper but thicker 6mil microns tint. Technically it should last longer. And actually, when it comes to tinting, workmanship is the most important one. If workmanship is bad, no matter how good the tint is, end of the day it will still be bad. Vkool can charge their customers X,XXX amount because they can. Afterall, they are the early pioneer in such "heat rejecting/reducing tint film", so when people think of such tint, automatically they will go and look at Vkool. The tint film technology itself is all the same for all brands (branded and generic), only depends on how the company market their products only. That is why, sometime can find some films almost the same properties as a certain Vkool tint but at a fraction of the price. Didn't recall receiving your PM... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « of coz u don recall coz i just pm u for the price only. anyway still got stock? coz im saving some money for it. u know la, after CNY, almost broke. |
