guys,

long time no see! still with your forte? well, i am still with my 2010 2.0 4 speed forte.
still loving it....
btw, anyone had low idle rpm now?
i am experiencing rpm around 650-710rpm with aircond on while car idle.
it causing my aircond didnt kick on for the compressor thus cause the aircond not cold during idling...

May I know your idle engine rpm ? for 2.0

what's your rpm when car idle with aircon on?

anyone change or fix steering rack bfore?
any cheaper solution?? T^T

Anyone changed to stiffer spring? Any recommendation?

Ada apa effect?

Front maintain forte ori spring?

You guys do know that inside the forte rear torsion beam, there is a pretty thick anti-roll bar built-in... right?

I was debating on whether I wanted to install a UR one after hearing good things. When I was driving the car over-enthusiastically one day, I noticed the car skipped on both rear wheels over a thin speed bump while cornering... something a car with rear anti-roll bars would do. So I took a peek underneath today and spotted it.

Thanks bro. Btw how much sensor abs tu? Adoi...
Sensor under 5 years warranty?

I have sold my car. I have original spark plugs and filter for Forte 2.0. Anyone wants to buy from me? Those are brand new. I askes not to replace during servicing my car due to very low mileage. Due to the policy that parts have to be changed or warranty void, so I paid for the parts and service but I didn't change to car.
