Anyone here tried this? Saw people share it on FB Myforte Club, saying the effect is like putting on ear plugs.

Haven't tried yet, but will be giving it a go. Nothing like some DIY on weekends biggrin.gif
My budget for soundproofing is sub 1k for roof, boot, bottom carriage, doors but still can't find so try this first.
Still doing research on the military grade stuff, sponge etc.

Still looking for a way to better sound proof the car, but no big budget at the moment. Just changed the tyres to Michelin PS3, still not happy enough with the noise hmm.gif

Hi guys. If I want to install alarm/GPS tracker/immobiliser, do I install it at SC? If SC don't have and I were to install outside, will it void the warranty?

From what I know, Forte doesn't comes with immobiliser.

An immobiliser or immobilizer is an electronic security device fitted to an automobile that prevents the engine from running unless the correct key (or other token) is present. This prevents the car from being "hot wired" after entry has been achieved.

sos: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immobiliser

basically immobilizer just prevents ppl from starting your car without the specific key. Difference between Camry and Forte is Camry's keys are "plugged" into the car whilst Forte is in our pockets (or any where you decide to put it tongue.gif )
*
So without our key, no matter how the thief "hot wire", the engine won't start? blink.gif

And I thought immobiliser's function is to stop the car from moving after it traveled a certain distance without the key inside the car.

I just changed at SC, RM1500 inclusive labour. I think your crack is too long to repair

I was hoping not to hear that sweat.gif

QUOTE(epo @ Mar 25 2015, 03:20 PM)
Mine after 6mths... No regret...
Can but they'll not provide warranty & cost near rm300...
Better buy MGS cermin & replace... RM850 only...
*
No warranty means the crack may not be fully repaired or if the crack reappears they will not cover the cost to repair it again?

What's MGS cermin?

I think I'll get the original windscreen from SC. My insurance is Longpac, not covered by Dr. Cermin.

I really like the tint I'm using now which is 90%+. Most probably getting the same again.

Anyone have a solution about the rattling sound coming from passenger seat? It goes away when someone is sitting on it, so I suspect something is loose.

Assuming that you've checked and verified that no nuts/bolts have been loosened and that no foreign matter have been dropped into any of those nooks and crannies; try adjusting the seat to every other position-combination and see if there is/are any of those combo that eliminates the rattle (coz sometimes certain combis will cause some parts to become loose while other combis will just magically "heal" them).
*
Interesting solution. I will try it and hopefully the rattling sound will go away smile.gif

Do you guys always use the paddleshifters ? Like me, I'm using it very frequently. Always alternating between auto and manual mode. Do you guys think that forte's gearbox is reliable enough to be used like that ?
*
Does using the paddleshifters a few times a day consider frequent? I use it a few times a day and the gearbox is still very smooth. Just hit 58000km recently.
