anyone know how to clear a detergent stain (dynamo) - i was driving with a big bottle of dynamo in my boot and the cap cracked, spilled some on the car boot mat..i tried to clean it with water and tissue/cloth - the "blueish" stain is still there..cant seem to get rid of it - any ideas?

Wet cloth not enough. need to wash with plenty of water. Because the detergent is absorbed by the fabric. How? I'll leave that to your creativity.

If u still on stock tyre, passing the yellow lines will be noisy a bit, i change to new tyre, the sound will be dup dup instead. I also add-on spring buffer to make the suspension less bouncy, before use AMT brand. Now using SpeedMod R-Back brand which is costly than AMT.

Guys, I'm trying to read up on EFR stage 1 & 2. But I can't seem to get good material from Mr. Google. Especially for our car.

Anyone here has done it or knows about it? Care to share some knowledge or links? Thanks biggrin.gif

So with stiff ring installed, do you still need the coil buffer?

Stiff ring is only in the front. Rear still need to use the buffer for low cost n worthy upgrade smile.gif

So stiff ring can only be installed in front? Rear cannot? Or you didn't do it?

Rear cannot even if you want to do it. The stiff ring is not to make your suspension absorbs better. It is to make ur subframe more rigid. Therefore if you feel the necessasity to add front coil buffer then do it. I did it and it is worth.

I see. Thanks!

Hello fellow fortezans!

I've been lurking in the shadows of this thread for a while now..and I'm pleased to announce I'm hoping to get my baby 1.6sx soon! smile.gif  However as this is my first new car purchase, I am still a little unsure and confused as to when and what I'm supposed to do now while waiting.  Hope my future bros here can enlighten me a lil  icon_question.gif

I've placed my booking with my SA in Kuching (yes, I'm East Msian) for 1.6sx metal bronze.  Loan has been pre-approved, but not signed. No deposit paid (SA is a friend of my parent's and he assures me there is no need for any booking fee yet).  Car reg no. not obtained yet(hoping to get it done n over with in days to come).  Car is expected to arrive end of August.  Now I have a few questions/doubt in the back of my head which I hope I can make clear with smile.gif

1. Altho I kept insisting that I only want the metal bronze(and the SA seems to know which color I meant..well he had a display vehicle to make example of when I was in the showroom), somehow the word "titanium" keeps coming out of his mouth..so I'm abit worried (since forte is phasing out) about getting a mixup in the color of my car!  How do I ensure, without first seeing my car, that it is a metal bronze?  Any documents to prove that?

2. When do I sign the loan agreement? After I get the car? After paying deposit? After seeing the car registration card?  Or any documents which I need to be aware of?  Don't wana risk signing an agreement and eventually being told that metal bronze is no longer in stock!

3. Can car registration number be bought/registered/booked before car arrives?  Shipment is from KL btw.

4. Thinking of whether or not to get tinting done.  SA seems to be able to promise me some form of tinting (cheapo one i believe  hmm.gif But before that, do I really need to get tinting done?  Car will be under the hot, blazing sun most of the time during the day.  How efficient is the stock solar glass on the forte?  Are all windshields & windows solar glass? Any quoted figure for the VLT/IRR/TSER?  Obviously when tinting is done, front windshield will most likely fail JPJ inspections  cry.gif ..so do I need to risk it?  I don't like the windows being too dark btw..as if I'm doing something dodgy in the car  brows.gif

5. Something of a personal/subjective question: Should I replace NAZA with K-logo or KIA emblem? Votes???  rclxub.gif Personally I prefer, KIA at the back, and K in front...but I would have to buy both sets of emblem...too costly!  sweat.gif  haha...
Thanks in advance notworthy.gif

1. FYI, for 6-speed model, there are only 3 colors to choose from. Clear White (basically solid white), Bright Silver (Silver metallic) & Titanium Silver (Grey-silverish metallic). Solid Black, Spicy Red (Red metallic) & METAL BRONZE, NO MORE. Those only available on 4-speeder model. So, you better check back your order. If you are getting the older 4-speed model (showroom car maybe), then yes you may get the Metal Bronze. If not, probably the SA is thinking of Titanium Silver. ***unless he is somehow getting stock from outside Malaysia. I don't know if that's possible***
4-speed model stopped selling in the year 2011.

2. Loan agreement, you sign it before you get the car. In fact, this needs to be signed first before the SA starts looking for car stock. ***that's the usual process***

3. Can, no problem. If you don't know how, you can ask your SA to do it for you (sometimes for a fee). Of course he will send a runner to do it.

4. Stock glass on Forte are like aquarium panels. I'm no expert in tinting. So I won't comment there.

5. Very subjective. But I like your idea. My suggestion, just get either set. Afterwards, just go online and buy just the front emblem lah. Costs less.

Yes it is possible to buy separate parts of the body kit. But i don't know much about the pricing. An average price for full Forte OEM body kit is around RM 1k. Plus or minus a few hundred.

Wah... essay writer... shocking.gif .. took me awhile to go through all of it.
Ur case same with me actually. i just bought last month. whole process took 5 days actually.

1. titanium silver  = Blackish color silver || bright silver = Stainless steel color silver , not sure wat u mean by bronze metal. But only got 3 color to choose white, titanium silver, bright silver.

2. U sign your agreement during taking ur car that day, car arrived with the registration number actually, mine is jpj give number me, i didnt choose number. U pay your deposit when the car arrived at the branch, cheque clear into the bank account, they will only proceed to hand you your car and sign the aggrement on the spot, remember to check everything with the car before sign the vehicle handover acceptance.

3. Yes, if you want choose car Plat no. please do it before they register your name to the car and key into JPJ system, meaning do it the same time u decide to tell the SA u buying the car, they got a list of Plat no. for u to choose.

4. they give u solar tint. its cheepo, correct. Go do smting good, like 3M, LLumar, Vkool, Chameleon, Huper Optik, Rikecool, RhinePro. They mostly JPJ approved. if u on budget go get it from groupon. Else walk in customers usually get normal price quote.

5. I still using NAZA logo actually, if i change also change to KIA logo... reason? K logo is actually a logo for BUS & COACH Company Xiamen King Long United Automotive Industry Company, Ltd. (King Long) , i dont want to put a bus logo on my forte... ><

Loan agreement is between us and the bank right? Not the dealer.

I was told to sign the loan agreement before they can proceed to book the car and JPJ registration. You need to sign the loan agreement at the bank, unless the SA can bring it to the SC for you to sign, but im sure you will have to sign loan agreement before SA can proceed to process your car registration for them to be on the safe side in case loan rejected or smthg.

Exactly how I understood the process. But your sentence earlier sounds like you signed the agreement during car pick up. tongue.gif

Naza Kia Forte

A little bit of self research won't hurt, you know. tongue.gif
Although do note that Kia Forte is already discontinued. You need to hunt for the stocks that are still not yet sold. Best of luck!

Don't worry bro. There are no dark colors anymore for new units. Closest to dark is the Titanium Silver, which is more to grey.
