no problem, will update the status on the numbers decals and when to meet reali soon.. so no worries ya... Guess overall, QF works for most of the rides i heard so far.. individual preference. But tink it is quite a mod to invest in for the extra power n better FC... Ya devilcup, if u going to Harmony Chia Ping, jus look for Joey for doing of QF.. U will be there? My office very near there.. Haha, can go kaypoh? lol... Yep, hope to see all of u guys real soon... wahaha i was there ard 3pm. saw a new kia rio, SJQ one, doing QF but FDL version as it is new version not sure who ride is it? wahaha did not manage to see you leh. where u? The SJQ is mine... just went to collect. Initial impressions are good. Low end def more powerful, car feel lighter, gear change seem to be smoother also

wah i'm so envious of u guys! too bad mine's an OPC... gonna consider converting to black plate after i move house. cos now i walk to work and dun need to drive during peak hours. conversion = BIG $$$ xP i also driving an OPC. today i got errand to run to tear 20 buck! tomolo i need to go back harmony motor again for my knock sensor wondering if LTA is even considering the debate few months ago, regarding modifying the timing for OPC... i dun mind topping up more for the road tax if i can get to drive to work without $20 coupon. or even if they come up with hourly coupons will be a consolation.

Ya. Engine is pretty quiet (same as soft)? When I drive I can hardly hear the engine one... :/ Back to initial impression of the QF... i tried a bit of acceleration just now... 0 - 80kmh is faster with my usual gentle right foot style.... step harder, even better... 80kmh was the furthest I got before I ran out of road and found myself staring at the backside of some lorry...

Next time Daniel add in more poison, then his rio really poisoned liao.. lol.. I just pumped petrol yesterday night.. Clocked 13.08km/ltr with lots of hard driving.. Not too bad.. In normal cases, I should get close to 12km/ltr.. Now i become good driver, drive at road speed limit to see how much can I squeeze out from the pica.. If still can hit above 13km/ltr, that will conclude QF really helps to save fuel..

Hmm.. I don't know about your QF but normally you should allow 2 days for the QF to "run in".. See if you find any differences now and 2 days later.. Like all of us here, you will find that the feedbacks we submitted over here is true..

Hey Daniel.. How is Erin's driving? I saw him overtake quite fast.. Anyway, do feedback about your QF from time to time.. Let us know about your performance and FC feedback.. Other than Daniel and Erin, anyone working in the west area? Near Harmony motors? Perhaps we could organise a lunch together next time.. haha, I am. Working at Gul Circle. What about u guys? Princehong: Gul circle picanyeo: clementi (10mins drive to harmony) Evererin: International Business Park (correct or not ) Danielkoh: 2 streets from Harmony Anyone else working around the west area.. Faster put your name and location.. Next time we can organise one lunch break together.. pica or rio or cerato also can.. Go for lunch, chit chat abit, then take the chance to poison each other.. I think that's a great idea.. In addition, we can introduce each other to the good foods around our workplace.. Then we can get to try different foods too..

If still can hit above 13km/ltr, that will conclude QF really helps to save fuel.. my pica has nv clocked about 13km/l now its always fluctuating between 11~12.5km/l hope to get the good news from u soon. but sometimes, improved power from ur car can be addictive to ur right foot. lol
