okie.. thx bro..

why i chose R3 system was because it was dyno proven, i got mine way back then when the car was firstly launched, back then there were a group of hardcore buggers who couldn't get enough of modding their cars, and they did changed from system to system with different config and each time they did they went for dyno and to the track even, this was before R3 came up with the full set, when R3 did the full set of course they fitted it and it did give them the best bang for buck.

The R3 system is best described as balanced, sure you can get more of one or the other either top end or low end which i didn't want, i wanted balance with good bottom and enough top end. Power delivery is smooth across the rev band, no dead spots. That to me is my criteria in calling a system a proper engineered and tested, no butt dynos, no guess work.

Of course a balanced system might not what you want, you prefer just top speed then of course the R3 system will seem lacking to you. It's all down to what you want.

In terms of manafacturing quality R3 is satisfactory, mandrel bent, smooth welds and painted or coated.

Yeah proton dun spend thousands for R3 RnD just to be beaten by a cap ayam or other brands..
Nowadays you always pay for what you get..
Nothing good comes cheap and nothing cheap comes good learned it the hard way..

Guys, want to ask whether the gen2 cps got timer is it? sometimes after i took out the car key from ignition, the engine sound still on like got turbo timer.

fair enough your view....
the reason why i sort of choose "R3" too its because i want to keep my car warranty... 5 years warranty leh.. sayang la to waste just like that


nope
it depends...
R3 is not the best.... it is balanced meaning what R3 ppl think its best for the car...

we as the real drivers of the car might have different requirement...
some prefer more low end at the expense of high end and vice versa....

yes have to agree on the balanced brought forward by r3 full exhaust system like i said in my post previously, the low end to midrange for r3 is awesome but it dies quickly once u enter the high end area and mind u i'm a dragster who needs more power at higher rpm...power at lower rpm can be compensated with other mods eventho it is not as great but tell me who actually drives a car at a constant rpm below 2k?

with regards to dyno proven, its not like i dont agree on it but people tend to always relying on dyno rather than ur own feeling for driving the car and absorb the performance and be one with the car...u dyno ur car on a machine without a load...ive seen few examples on dyno it shows significant improvement but on the road it is actually worse...

i talk base on experience and i have no basic knowledge of cars and yes im a n00b...hahahahah wanna follow just follow dowanna follow i'm not at a loss at all haha...

when i got my mme with complete lighten fiber bodykits, cable plug, full exhaust etc i got involved with frens who drags almost every weekend...and my r3 setup cant beat some cap ayam setup eventho i've done all other basic mods as they have...sometime its best to test side by side with others before u make any assumption...even after i use a custom LSD gb i still lose by half a body eventho my lower rpm jumps very fast...

oppssss...shud be enuff right? just from my experience...

owh btw...ppl talk about r3 n how they rnd to give best setup etc...just simple question...do u support r3 piracy? i see many fakey bodykits going around and proudly claimed as r3...hahah...peace

my car ok already.. i think the ecu had configured itself back..
nowadays car very complicated.. got ecu etc etc..

any info on ficd?

you would be surprised that i do drive below 2k rpm living in KL city everyday maximum 3rd gear so i need the low end to poke through queues and change lanes quickly. not sure if dragster would be suitable for my day to day driving to hold the RPM at 5k while waiting for a gap in traffic then dump the clutch and immediately stand on the brakes to not hit the car in front, it suits you that's good. i try not to forget this is campro engine reason for it's development was cost, it costs around 1/2 of a mitsu engine to build if you ask the engineers.

and no i don't support R3 piracy i paid 1200 for the R3 system eventhough hotbits had something similar at a cheaper price at that time.

R3 bodykits are easy to copy..it dun really need much engineering to go along just a simple mold and fiber.. as you can see cheap things don't come good, just by looking you already noticed that it is a pirated R3 body kit..
But so far i haven't seen a pirated R3 full exhaust system..

just wondering any of you guys go up genting or hilly roads/ hard revving frequently with the gen2/campro engine gives any problem??..mileage??

i paid 1.4k for full hotbit and drop-in that was 3 years ago

like i told u i'm a n00b...teach me
