But wait a minute.... why your engine looks stock standard one..? I thought pedal-to-the-metal person like u should at least install those bars, open pod, etcccc...?  whistling.gif

I think you need to check lower arm, knuckle...after accident smile.gif

No ler, i can't tolerate with the FC. If install those gadgets, i need to stop by petrol station more frequently. Power is not everything, prefer better handling such as adjustable shocks, and fit with extreme category rubber..u r ready to vroom..

Here's the benchmark everytime i drive from Pg-Ipoh..
Total travel distance: 144km
FC meter: 10.7Km
Route: Penang->Pg bridge->Juru PLUS toll->Ipoh selatan toll
Actual FC: Half tank gone already.. blush.gif

hey guys, just take it as a reminder to all the potential buyers of proton cars, NEVER ever go approach the sales agent, named Mrs Elxine from Melaka EON Branch. she bluffed me that the new proton persona elegance got discount RM500 if i put the order before certain date somewhere in April i can't remember which day. and bcoz of that, i quickly put the order thinking that i can get RM500 discount, so why not order fast?
after that, she denied that she promised me the discount, claiming that only the old version persona got discount. is it a misleading to the customer? what can we do against her?
btw, i already met the branch manager, he told me that Proton really dun have the policy saying that new proton persona elegance got discount, whereby the old version memang got. after that, i demand an explanation from her, she just keep telling the same thing, "new persona dun have discount, new persona dun have discount...i'm really pissed of by her attitude, the way she trying to boost up her sales by cheating to customers is really unacceptable!!! mad.gif
and the most ridiculous thing is that she wrote down all the payments on a paper for me before, which comes like this - "RM59,499-RM500...", but she just denied totally when i showed her the paper...wat the fxxx!!!
can anyone help me on this? if really bring to court, who will stand more chance to win?? sad.gif

For your case, she made a mistake and misleading information given. It is her fault but sometimes human does make mistake. I would accept if she apologize for that, just forget about it.

If you want to play big, then complaint to PE main branch. But as always, my advice is to gamble Small..

Not only that, if u noticed the first batches of Persona and those later batches, the ride height is noticeably different at the rear suspension being the new one is higher.

Comparing to Gen2 also.... Gen2 is much lower. I hate Persona's rear butt being soo high. It looks really imbalance when viewed from the side. I am planning to buy low springs (have yet to decide on what brand) and fit ONLY the rear to bring it down. Yes, i know it is Lotus tuned suspension etc etc...and i will lose comfort. So...Why fit only rear? Ok i have few reasons:

If you want for looks..then lowered it smile.gif cool2.gif

The cheapest method to improve handling, suggest you downgrade 195/60/15 to smaller size, 195/55/15(of coz pick those uhp/extreme category tyre with hard sidewall, eg: AD08, Toyo R1R), can whack corner kao kao..the feeling is noticeable. Ask brother loong, his ride also running on 195/55/15..Downside? Higher FC ler and noisy

Best is 205/50/16, compromise between performance and ride height..
