slippery?
i dont get this. care to share?

u mean sway?

Car manufacturer/designer allocate each part to the car for a reason, no way they wouldn't want to endanger owner's life. Of course owner have choice to upgrade or enhance the part... In this case we can only blame the lousy silverstone, while pumping up wallet just have to take precaution when to whack n not to whack the tires.

if TT for stock only later there will be no racun and money is safe if TT with all otais only later will be racuned kaw2 you're going to change sport rims, add mercun, add philips drl etc

No such thing. Nowadays, with high-speed cameras (reputedly costs RM250K+ of the Tax-Payers money), u can fly as fast as 250kmh and still get caught on camera.
So don't be a hero and try to out-run the cam.

A logical and practical response.
Anything more than 150kmh should be done only in a controlled environment (read: on track).
Of course I'm not sayin that you can't speed over 150kmh.
Just do it in short bursts, like for 2km distance or less. Then slow down to a more sedate pace and carry on te journey in a safe manner

1.6 car.. i was wondering why the rpm so high.. my 2.0 at 200kmph only 5krpm 

isn't that eagle eye?? no? 

hi guys....silly question here...i have a 2.0 6 speed forte....2 years old

yesterday on NS highway a honda city (current gen) was beind me and after letting him pass i had a hard time trying to keep up with him...
seems like the honda city was very fast.... i was doing about 160-170 and he was still pushing forward like a real sports car

anything wrong with my car?
also anybody know the curb weight of the 2.0?

honday city's curb weight is 1,140 kg (from official website) so now i am wondering is it because my car is extra heavy?
   

This might have been discussed before but I am reading threads in a reverse way from v17. Now on v14. I have not come across a post asking how to break in a forte 6 speeder engine.

I have looked through unker google but there are 2 different opinions. Some say you nurture it for the first 1000km, drive below 3k rpm.

Some say you drive like you stole the car. Shift to pedal shift, rev it to max above 6,let the car upshift itself till gear 4 or 5. Runs at gear 5 for a while before coming to a complete stop, then rev back from gear 1. This should be done like for 30km.

How do you guys normally do it?

I may agree with the point on comfort, but I'm a little hard-pressed to agree on the stability as well.

Why? Based on my personal driving experience, I am of the opinion that the stock Forte braking system/pads are not very well suited to stop the entire 1.3tonne bulk of the vehicle, especially at speeds above the 120kmh mark coupled with emergency situations.

As such, I don't really feel that the Forte is completely 'stable' at high speeds, unless your definition of stable does not include the effectiveness of a vehicle's braking system.

JMHO

Haha. I was reading through comments on the car, while looking for known problems so i know what to expect, how to fix it and where to fix it. I was also basically checking which SC to go to.

So guys, you all just nuture the car with below 3k rpm till 1st service?

Or you guys rev like mad for the first 30km after u get the car?

Another question guys.

I have not got my Forte yet, but I have been observing the car of my friends' for quite a bit. I observed that the car is bisu. ie, it does not have chime or sound to let you know whether the car is locked or unlocked after you have pressed the button on your key or on the handle. Is there any setting that I can do to get the 'chime'?

I am used to plotong's beep beep when I unlock my door and beep when I lock my door.

The car will come tomorrow. Very eager to see the car.

for those who wanna very fast, must watch =p

Just got my car from Edwin last Saturday. Basically no hassle in my purchase. Everything is quick and precise. Good SA. Recommended. Good offer, honest, no hanky panky.

I however am bothered about the figure on ODO. The figure shows 30km plus when I first get my car. I am not sure what happened but I want to believe he drives it to do BK and tinting. Also, during hand over inspection, I found a small spot scratch, which is not serious, therefore I did not make a fuss out of it. I am not sure if I am the only one but I found quite an amount of small small glue patched and lines on the exterior and interior, maybe due to the BK installation and interior due to tinting process. These are small problems which I think would compensate the possible bigger problem if I get it from a none trustable SA.

I drove 300km for the past 2 days. Very satisfied with the car. Left pull issue is very very very very minimal. Rattling not yet appear. Bumped in to a big hole with LOUD KOOONG sound on the first 5km of drive. Luckily no dent on rim and no damage on tire.

Add me to the owner list. 2.0 titanium silver. Welcome to the club.

330km to be exact. Went driving around the city, small roads, highways, up hill down hill (to check if BK will be scratched). Went short outstation trip.

Agreed with your comments on the Loh Brothers of AZ Master S/B.

My only ball of contention, however, would be the young Technicians (trainees from TOC or some automotive college, I believe) in the 3S Center.

1) Overly gung-ho. Why?
They unilaterally decided to tighten my handbrake cables without first consulting me. I wouldn't have any issues with that if they did a good job. Instead, they over tighten the cables which resulted in my rear wheels being 'sticky' even after having freed the handbrake. I requested for them to fix it, and they seemed unhappy. One of them even commented that the brake shoes will eventually wear itself out after driving it for a while. I told them a big NO.
I believe this is one of the possible causes for high FCs to certain vehicles which shared the same 'treatment'.

2) Another minor issue would be their effort towards cleanliness. What do I mean here?
Well I do believe that our Fortes are all brand new cars, right? As such, it would be great if we can keep our cars clean especially the interior, right? I mean, how'd you feel if your car seat was stained with dirt and/or oil smudges? I know I'd be and coz I'm aware that those stains are tough to get rid of.
My query would be, why couldn't the SC Technicians select a designated driver (whom would be the one and only guy/girl whom is not required to dirty his/her hands for the day) to drive the customers' vehicles? Or at least provide protective-seat covers?

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?

FC update. The 1st tank gone. RM88 RON95 for 425km. 80% HW 20% City Drive. ODO now shows 525 now.
