1st: Did proton persona really under power during pick up? When i drive, the car is speed up slowly, but the engine sound is loud and annoying.... izzit coz of the clutch problem?

2nd : Anyone facing the engine knocking sound during climb hill?

3rd : Klok klok sound infront the suspension during go through the uneven road without cornering ( can feel from the clutch and accelerate pedal...feel like something loose)....but nt the metal knocking sound of the power steering hose

can say 100% city as i'm driving in penang island. mostly travel tru and fro via hill road (paya terubong - bayan baru). will it be better after 1st service?? or this will be forever??
maybe u can teach us here. how to step of acc?? 1st step 1inch? then let got for half inch?? yeah, i'm new owner of this campur secara pro engine! hope to learn more from seniors! and where can we study the torque curve ?

wah...dun say lidat lah...me no sifu...but many has found this to be true. download the non CPS campro torque curve, understand it k. now u see the torque dip region right? around 2k to 4k, but car got tolerence one, take ur car, rev it from stand still, see the rpm go and how the car respond, should be aroung the same as the torque curve, but slightly different. remember where the rpm region where is starts to drop and when is the region it pick up quickly.

here's the trick, to save fuel, u want to try to reduce drivin in the region where the torque dips happen. UNLESS THE CAR IS ALREADY MOVING. so, meaning u hv to bring the car up to momentum ASAP, reducing the time u spend in the torque dip region. so, rev hard from stand still, then cruise. u will notice better FC.

to make the car more drivable, invest in LCP lah...ROI is worth it lah...else do ur exhaust...other stage one mod not really significant. u got PM.

what about for auto???...let say accelerate from standstill, 1st gear=3000rpm, 2nd gear=3000rpm....meaning every gear change at 3000rpm??? or the 1st gear only then 2nd gear change at 2000rpm???......i tried short while before but seems the fuel gauge decrease quite fast.... laugh.gif

drive auto means step on it lah...rev it. it will hold on to it until 4K, then change gear one. don't play with the gear leveler...let the gearbox do it's job. just rev it to bring ur car to cruising speed ASAP...then cruise...guaranty will be better than "drive normal" one...

i rev till 6K cool2.gif ...when i do my dyno, i am surprise it can be rev >7K...but guys, if u are a heavy footer like me drivin the auto, remember to install ATF cooler ya...else dun blame me ur gearbox kong very soon....i install atf cooler when it is 6mths old....now rev like nobody biz coz the heat is taken care off...

if anyone from penang...or up north...come out for TT lah...limpe show u all... cool2.gif talk like dat cannot one lah...

owh.....hows the gearbox??..mileage??....change every 20k atf fluid right??? smile.gif

ya, change every 20K...with the ATF cooler, i think it can stretch to 25K...coz at 20K the ATF looks very clean...seems like a waste...but with the ATF cooler, seems to have smoother gear change...
