by pessimizt 5th September 2009, 8:32 pm

Boot light is good !! thumbsup

Am thinking of doing the leg lights instead of cabin as from the way i look into his car, it seems to be extremely glaring. Evil or Very Mad

What toys did you get ?

by kqkhlj 5th September 2009, 11:26 pm

hi pessimizt, can EX driver seat be tilted up and down abit? i saw the feature with SX model.

by pessimizt 5th September 2009, 11:40 pm

kqkhlj, can can, the seat can be tilted with a lever on the right of the seat. One is for the backrest and the other is to tilt it up and down by depressing or pulling it up.

Hi Bro Pessimizt,
Can check with u is the back passenger seat center for leg rest flat? or humpy? Thanks

by muff 6th September 2009, 12:02 am

er....wat you guys planning on doing inside the car.......

by Forte899 6th September 2009, 12:07 am

Consider buying 1 pc passenger carmat or 3 pcs confused

The leg room one looks kinda cool.

But you planning to do the door one?

If you are, can you check if they can set the door to only light up for the door that is open only?

Coz the installers for the ones that I've asked so far can only set to light all doors up when any of the door is open.

As for what I did...... U can see it anytime you want what.
Very Happy

See the antenna.
Shorter one. But not sure if it's nicer though.

oic ......the back seat leg rest is with the hump.....

by pessimizt 6th September 2009, 12:22 am

Bro joepele, i dont think will be doing the door light cos its more troublesome and expensive.

Moreover, i tested on the guy's car and it seems pretty bright to iluminate the outside when i open the door. thumbsup

Wah....shorter antenna ? From motec ?
Thought you intended to do sharks fin ?

by kqkhlj 6th September 2009, 1:27 am

hehe, i am just being curious lah cos i saw SX got the tilt function and wondering if EX had it or not.

talking about car mat....I remember my previous ride, the floor board has studs and the carpet has ring hole that will sit over it....it prevent the carpet from shifting/moving about and all my carpets are always in place (look really neat)....... thumbsup

unlike my current Forte always have to pull here and there to position them.....

by Forte899 6th September 2009, 1:47 am

For your case, which type you've bought for your carmat? and which one look nicer? if I'm not 3 pcs tends to shift right?

by muff 6th September 2009, 1:53 am

the current backseat floor mat that I'm using (carpet - original fro KIA) is a one piece type and it always shift out of position (wish KIA will improve the design for future batch).....

by Forte899 6th September 2009, 1:54 am

OK, Thanks bro.

by pessimizt 6th September 2009, 9:01 am

Kia's one has velcro at the bottom of the mat........but it seems like serving no purpose.

I got mine at 3Acarmat.com.sg (which comes with studs), and it also shifts here and there. Crying or Very sad

by muff 6th September 2009, 1:33 pm

the studs I'm referring on my previous ride are mounted onto the floorboard. And each carpet actually has 2 holes (at the top 2 corners) to clip/lock onto the studs....this way the carpet would be locked in place and not shift..... thumbsup

Done almost 2800km mileage. FC as per below:

Petrol pumped (litres)	Mileage before pump (km)	Fuel Consumption (km/l)	Remarks
37.36	0.00	0.00	Esso 5000
37.62	425.00	11.30	Esso 5000

Nope from Vim, it's in Defu lane 10 near our house.

Nice guy.

He gave me a good price for the Hurricane air filter... but may do it after the first 1k servicing.

But are you planning to do the PPS?

Having second thoughts, met Tiny and Divine @ Motec and they commented and sounded logical that it may not be much help.. @ best, protect from tree sap, bird droppings...

But where we park... dun have those le... maybe the occasional bird droppings lor.

Oh....Vim auto. Yup its super near us. Very Happy

The antenna is nice ! Whats the damage ? Expose it lah !!! thumbsup

Anyways, Hurricane filter actually improves on performance right ?
FC will not be affected right ?

PPS (CS-II) ? Yup, also considering (have already gotten the so-call discount from mycarforum). So far, i have been using plain water and microfibre cloth to wipe it clean. Never use soap nor send to any place to wash before.
But the PPS should also help to maintain the colour shine in the long run too right ? scratch

Hi

SE selling me $200 for alarm and $200 for reverse sensor, can someone advise whether its worth the money? or should i source externally.

I booked a EX model.

Thanks.

by Mahinda 7th September 2009, 11:50 pm

What freebies you have for your car?? Usually EX they will give alarm and reverse sensor as freebies one.

by pessimizt 7th September 2009, 11:58 pm

Some workshops selling 2-way transponder alarm at $200+.
Check with your SE what sort of alarm he/she giving you.

Reverse sensor i not so sure what is the market rate. Have to ask some workshop.
Maybe you can try to PM some of the advertisers in the forum ?

So total $400. Still less than $100 and still cheaper compare to our time when they quoted us $500. Very Happy

by Mahinda 8th September 2009, 7:46 pm

I thought alarm and sensors sure give one. Bro kqkhlj, think you better check with those same batch as you one what freebies they got. If they have them as freebies with the same price you're paying for your car means your SE knife you liao.

by joepele 8th September 2009, 7:59 pm

I kenna liow la...

They will later say... you misunderstand la... they only mentioned central locking.

So the best way is to ask the joker to write everything down when you sign the app form.

Agreed with Mahinda.....my EX came with alarm & RS without any mention anywhere in the sale agreement and is not freebies by SE cause already got 2 other freebies (LS & S.flim)..... but that is 6 months ago....

anyway $400 kinda Ex unless he is giving you some high end alarm & RS......need to check wats the brand/model...

hmmm, in my opinion, alarm and reverse sensor should come with the car.
When my SE told me he gave me those as 'freebies', i told him i already expect those to come from him and not included in the so called "freebies" list....

Booked already?
Tell him another SE quote u better deal...see wat he says lor... hehehe ..just kidding

Bro,

My SE initially told me it comes with alarm (yah right.. SILENT alarm) mad

I blasted her like no one's business. Not sure if EX comes with it coz what I understand is that EX's alarm is local fitted whereas SX's from Korea.

by pessimizt 8th September 2009, 10:52 pm

Bro kevinhwc, what silent alarm ?
By the way have you signed any papers to book the car ?
If you have, kindly check on the paper if they indicate alarm and reverse sensor (under accessories or something). If have then you are safe. If not, then try to ask the SE about it. Ask them to re-write or add-on onto the piece of paper to honour it. Else, they can jolly well ignore anything on the day of collection.

Just my opinion. Maybe some SE will throw it in to make the customer happy. Metal Bronzee - Page 4 332362

by kevinhwc 8th September 2009, 10:57 pm

Mine's a SX, so reverse sensor is default. Silent alarm is a so called alarm that doesn't make noise.. what a bull ****.. I'm looking at Spy alarm when my ride's here...

Can i change a better SE if she strongly don't want to give alarm and RS?

can i don't take the default RS and alarm @ $400 even if the form is being written and signed.

feel like going else where to do these features.

by kevinhwc 8th September 2009, 11:27 pm

er... no idea man.. you'll have to check with your SE

by pessimizt 8th September 2009, 11:28 pm

Ummm.....kqkhlj, think you might be able to take that out if you just book your ride because the car is not here yet and the items has not been installed. Better to call your SE to double confirm.

by kqkhlj 8th September 2009, 11:29 pm

BTW, anyone here can recommend any good RS and alarm in less than $400?

I think i will go and ask SE about the specs of the RS and alarm first before making any decision.
