The best way to check is to test it on the road for both 400m and top speed. What ever written in paper hard to compare as it varies from OEM in measuring and testing. Furthermore City is 1.5 while CPS is 1.6, as rules of thumb "No replacement for Displacement"
*
Agree... various factors

1. Car weight
2. Actual hp on wheel
3. Power-to-weight ratio
4. Gear ratio
5. Torque

Last but not least, how much one want to spend for fuel and installment...

If you are driving AT you should know that the AT is fitted with sensor that calculate the speed of the vehicle versus amount of fuel injected (pedal pressing)...

This feature is built-in and useful for overtaking... you can do the same by putting the gear level to 3 and after overtaking put it back to D...
Perdana for example has an overdrive button to facilitate this feature...

So, if you suddenly press the accelerator deep, the AT will definitely shift down and hence you will see the rpm drop to accomodate the gear change...

Yup.. Either you lowered, or put bodykit. But 16inch using 50 series already so bumpy. If put lowered again, scare more bumpy..

QUOTE(mrl @ Mar 6 2010, 07:29 PM)
just done 20k km major service today... can update first page...

Engine Oil - Shell Helix HX7 10W-40 - RM85
Brake Fluid (half-bottle only, the brake fluid decrease in amount) - RM9
ATF - RM154.55
Air Filter - RM23.71
Gasket Plug Oil - RM2.52
Fuel Filter - RM37.58
Oil Filter - RM12.22
Radiator Coolant - RM28.34
Screenwash - RM5.20
Spark Plug - RM38.00
Labor - RM105
5% Service Charge - RM5.25

Total Damage - RM506.35... quite high... sweat.gif

anyway, got one issue... SA said the brake pad is almost out... despite the mechanic is also surprised looking at my brake pad, i dont change the brake pad yet... they also said the reason my brake fluid decrease is because my brake pad is almost out... is this true???

is it really can happen after 20k km the brake pad is almost out??? given that I do use brake more often (heavy right foot in packed traffic... of course more brake too...  laugh.gif

but almost out??? and both SA and mechanics that test my car seems to be talking about my brakes too much... the mechanic even said while testing my car the brake is out once... but that's the only one time it's out... the brake didn't stop the car... but when the steering wheel is on my hand, the brake is all ok... please advice...  icon_question.gif

now i'm a little worried to drive fast...  sweat.gif

bt dub... there's no break squealing or whatever indicating brake pad is almost out... that's why I dont change the brake pad yet...
*
if your brake pad is thinning (visually you can see this) or is very thin, do change the pad immediately... dont have to wait until screeching sound...
same like tyre... no need to wait until all go bald...
safety should be the primary concern...

50 i think its quite hard if u r used to 60 or 65 series tyres. i would vouch for 55 height anytime for any rim size becoz its more comfortable n stable enough during cornering. i'm talking from the stock abs n springs perspective. with lowered springs i think you have no choice but to go for 50 series otherwise the tyres will be too big and will hit the fender. the current GAB lowered springs + stock abs already scratching my cars belly on medium angles... lowered springs only good for straights n leveled surfaces...
*
so technically, it isn't feasible to have sports spring (any brand) with stock absorber matched with 55 series? How's cornering with 50 series?

I personally felt that 50 series 16" is the best balanced between comfort and performance. Why? Because R3 also use the same setup. laugh.gif

hmm..... i have to consider 50 series for my next upgrade to be coupled with new spring..... its gonna take sometimes though since the current 55 series is quite new...*sigh*...

bedding-in now,
will report back after 200km travel...

Brake Pads cost RM115,
Disc Rotor various prices in different places,
i got mine for EA Autoworks,
give Drex Chan a call to enquire.
at first thought wanna change back stock disc rotor,
but Original Proton disc rotor not cheap at all,
so direct go for this 'looking good' disc rotor lor tongue.gif

before install, Drex Chan already explain it won't shorter your brake distance,
but it helps on number of times braking...
example:
Stock disc rotor = 10times braking continuously before overheated/brake fade,
IMP Slot/Drill disc rotor = 15 or more braking continuously before overheated/brake fade.

Better brake pads still a main important thing to stop your car...  biggrin.gif

major issues i think not as frequent as it used to be. however minor ones are still there, it cant be avoided, only minimized...

How fast your car 0-100 timing? Mine never reached below 10s.

I think 9.2s for a 1.6 N/A is above average. Not really impressive unless it's around 8-9s. The Neo still quite heavy. Slim it a bit more sure can get faster 0-100. Maybe get it around BLM weight.

The overall performance package might justify the 115k price but the interior certainly doesn't match the price. Just the Nappa leather is great but the rest of the interior looks no different than Neo.

well... it is still a neo in the first place isn't it... not a new model...

only 25 units will be made so i think it doesn't justify them to change the dashboard or plasticky molded parts. even the chassis also some sources mentioned its not double stitched, just standard neo only (i also read that R3's neo also standard chassis). they also smart to keep cost at lowest possible la... haha..

i never measured 0-100 coz my car got a 10kg subwoofer at the back and the doors are all stuck with sound deadening bitumen. my car weighs approx 1250kgs. with full fuel. so i think should be approx 13-15 secs region or higher.. haha....


Added on April 1, 2010, 11:19 am

its a neo with a lot of goodies thats... probably.... worth the price... if u have the dough... tongue.gif
*
yup with loads of goodies... however pricing wise i think it is a bit over board...i'm not well advised about the equipment price but i think it should'nt reach even 100k.

this is perhaps either

a. they have to pay Lotus (or Lotus Racing) for the branding or
b. its the price after the excise duty... meaning to say the duty is charged after all the equipments is fitted.

my two plus two minus one cent
