Erm probably u need to go light on the throttle.. Anticipate the rpm where the gear changes. Then slightly lift ur foot off the throttle, u will feel the gear disengage as momentarily there will be a lack of g-force acting on you.. Press throttle back to regain power.. It may take some time getting used to. .But u will get the hang out of it soon...

Manage to reach a top speed of 190km/h @5k RPM on the level straights of MIEX highway yest night (2.48AM).. Aircon and radio was turned off.. After 5k RPM the engine like refuses to accelerate even further, just stays there only.. Petrol used Esso Synergy 5000, engine totally stock, not even with drop-in air filter, Bline auto with 3 adults totally 200-205kg.

Car was very planted, no excess vibration, infact even lesser vibration than Waja.. Wind sound around the same @ 145km/h (maybe due to the engine loud roar ), engine did not go up slightly in temp even while driving at 180-190km/h for around 7mins (failed miserably to catch up with a blue GTR).. Anybody with drop-in filter and VS and/or Lightened Crank Pulley with tuned extractor have managed to go above this speed?

Btw say a Myvi burning near TTDI @ 3.35AM. Engine caught fire. Doesnt look like to have a BOT on it. Car look pretty stock.

Comaparison of B-Line 2010 Persona Elegance vs H-Line 2009 Persona.

1) Quieter cabin.
2) Smoother and more planted feel.
3) PE seems heavier for city driving. My friend had 4 lightweight 15" alloy (195/55 R15) for his Persona, mine had 4 steel rims with thicker tires (195/60 R15).
4) Much better looking speedo and radio..
5) Better rear seats which are more inclined
6) Side mirror is way bigger and much more safer.. Smaller blind spot.
7) More supportive fabric seat.

yeah u are right, thats the amount of torque and HP created vs drag has reached equilibrium. So the car cant accelerate. However if there are other mods done on the car, such as drop in air filter, tuned length extractor, higher RON fuel etc, the torque and horsepower curve may be altered, probably can go faster or sometimes slower than 190kmh.

Yep. I can actually say no other improvements except for the turbo-timer function/auto start fan for cooling down the engine after hard driving..

LOL Rev cut adalah.. hehe.. Speed cut i dont think so.. Cos the car acceleration was constant and it stopped and cant pick up anymore at 190km/h. It did however went up to 200km/h but that was on a downhill slope. on straight level road tops was 190. If got speed cut means the car will shudder as the ECU cuts throttle or or fuel supply.. I didnt feel any of that shudder.. I will post up a video later showing the top speed lah.

PE really very very stable.. No floaty feeling at all.. No hands pun boleh.. From one end of the highway can see the other end also.. haha..

Very ameteur-ish video.. Didnt take the part where i was accelerating from 110kmh onwards as the phone was lagging that time..

Siong?? U mean engine sound is it?

3 lanes, totally straight road for at least 4km.. Totally no problem.. haha.. But better keep hands on steering lah.. In case tire blow.. If not next day become headline news ady..


Btw had some burning/toasted smell in the car while speeding at that speed..

Book a grave spot first.. Nowadays can buy a plot of land earlier and pay with installments also..

Better to keep a hand on the steering in case tire blow. Thats y i told my friend to take the video after kena pwned by the GTR.

Oic. I understand mandarin but not canton.. hehe.. Erm maybe loh.. While driving at that speed got some burning smell crept up..
I have another friend having 2009 Persona IAFM H-Line (A), till now ady have mileage of 60k km++.. Everytime he go highway (he does travel long distance very often) also whack the car kaw kaw fast and furious style.. Till now car or engine or gearbox also no prob.. All stock except for 15" light alloy rims.

Yeah.. Not bad also the pickup.. okok.. This is the last time 190.. Next will be 200.. Muahahaha.. The road was very clear thats y i dare to test top speed.. If not maybe max also i will do 150-160.. Need better brakes, Msians are famous for changing lanes without signalling.. =.=!!

There is a remedy to this problem which i always use. Sure u guys will get a free gift when purchasing the car which is so called steering lock. Anytime these ppl change lanes without signalling. Just horn them nicely (Persona horn are super loud ), and wind down the window and hold the steering lock out or wave it like a caveman with a bat if u wish.. Guaranteed to slow them back to the slower lane.


At least ur brake dont lock up good dy..

No idea about it mate. Most probably not, because the ECU used is a different type and the signal sent might be a different type of signal. You could probably call up or drop by a Proton Service Centre to inquire.

Should be at least 2.5k post then only can start a new thread right?

Persona Club V10 is up.
