Rsongcy Neutral Newbie February 18, 2014 Share February 18, 2014 new 1 also lut to run in What is the proper way to run in?? Used to understand not to go beyond 80km/h with my first car back in 1997 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzomatrix 2nd Gear February 18, 2014 Share February 18, 2014 ehhh i dun really follow that except for not whacking it.. but i already went 90-100 within 1000km mileage. What manual suggest is rev within 4k rpm for first 2000km.. Wad im wondering is manual suggest Ron91 is sufficient meaning K3 can take 92 petrol, C&C suggest 95.

Used to understand not to go beyond 80km/h with my first car back in 1997 Just drive normally will do,just don't rev until redline will do,4000rpm limit can reach at least 160km/h in top gear..[2250 rpm@100km/h in 6th gear]. ehhh i dun really follow that except for not whacking it.. but i already went 90-100 within 1000km mileage.

offergold 2nd Gear February 19, 2014 Share February 19, 2014 I always like the KIA KDM badge. Any K3 badging with this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lulala Clutched February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 Sorry for silly question, but in case of snow white exterior and black/white interior, may I know whether is it difficult to maintain? How often we need to wash the car? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzomatrix 2nd Gear February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 I always like the KIA KDM badge. Any K3 badging with this? should be able to get from accessories shops.. i saw 1 fb group page selling such accessories for Forte. Sorry for silly question, but in case of snow white exterior and black/white interior, may I know whether is it difficult to maintain? How often we need to wash the car? Depends on usage, weather, location and everything lol For me, my usual practice is to wash and apply a layer of wax at least once a week. Detail the interior once every 2 weeks. White exterior, black interior here. My previous ride was black and I had to go Changi and Tuas Naval base often, either sand blasted or full of mud so I could wash up to 2 - 3 times a week.

Vitaminc1231 2nd Gear February 21, 2014 Share February 21, 2014 (edited) Sorry for silly question, but in case of snow white exterior and black/white interior, may I know whether is it difficult to maintain? How often we need to wash the car? Depend where you park too. If open air carpark, you tend to have a lot of tree 'juice', leaves, birdshit etc. I have to do some basic wiping with cloth daily if I fussy, but if close 1 eye, won't die. However, by 2nd week if never wash car, it will be quite noticeable. Most of the time I wash car weekly myself. White interior is more problematic, sometimes even jeans can come out color on the white leather, then it is gg-ed.. I wanted white interior a lot but my wife stopped me. I am glad she did though. Maintaining the exterior is tiring enough. If you have MSCP, maybe exterior will be easier to maintain.

13177 Supersonic February 21, 2014 Share February 21, 2014 I believe the most toughest part to maintain a car paint, regardless what colour is watermarks stains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
