haha

i had worse issues with previous cars besides cosmetics.. so my tolerance level is higher..

plus the showroom car is in a proton edar in kota damansara,quite secluded, not COE.. if from COE, sure i don't want

i'm such a simpleton..

so i guess ur previous car was proton too? haha

beside showroom's car..anyone get their car?

use simota also.. no need oiling like K&N..
just wash with soap and running water every 5k.

Yeop agreed.....Less maintenance and more cheaper

all handed down to me from my siblings

Kancil 850 (round eys) > mazda astina + wira 1.5 > iswara 1.3 + old merc C200 > satria neo > now

majority is proton, so that's why my tolerance level is higher though if given the chance, of cource i want a brand new car lah

K&N tak kacau warranty lah...but meddling with electronics of course warranty susah

wah...already 3 people upgrading from satria --> inspira. hohoho.

y saving money when u can afford it...unless upgrading will make u broke lar

Simota, maybe we can do bulk orders...haiya..deliver my car already lar proton...lots of thing wanna do.
this waiting is torture .

"Our high flow cotton gauze air filter is washable, reusable and built to last for the life of an automotive or motorcycle engine. K&N air filters consist of four to six sheets of cotton gauze layered between two sheets of aluminum wire mesh"

sorry, can't resist..hehehe..

better dun throw away ur stock air-filter. when wanna go to service. put it back...in case.
dun want the service center giving lots of reason to void warranty wont we.

bro, i think not necessary to change it every time you service your car...Try to be nice with the service guys, they usually understand that we are trying to give the best for our cars...that's what i'm practising...

Ok I cannot tahan so I called the customer service hotline, he ask me to wait until Dec 15 (final deadline for those who booked at soft launch) before we can inform and fax our vehicle sale order to the HQ to expedite the delivery of the cars, he also said delivery started but very limited numbers. So, nothing we can do, wait only.

thats the safest practise...if im not mistaken, stock air filter are replaced every 20000km..personal experience, last time round the SC fella gonna throw away my K&N drop-in filter for it to be replaced during periodically service..lucky i was there & ask the guy to put it back in & not charge me for the stock airfilter replacement because i dont want it anyway..

cheapest i found in sunway at RM310

lowyat forum around RM260

please be careful as there a fake

in this way,i agreed to your experience as we has to consider which sc & who is the guy handle's our car....better if you know them so that you can "deal" before

servicing your car...no matter what you do...

wah... this inspira topic is very hot... inspira has so many fans... within a day 10 pahes already

for me, I'll not use K&N filter or whatever performance part for the engine... I'll maintain stock engine and will use V-power and fully syn engine oil for performance...
performance parts not always good unless you want to race the car... Stock air filter already the best designed for the car to trap tiny dust. imagine if the dust is not properly filtered and it goes inside the engine... better replace stock air filter regularly than servicing the K&N filter because we dont know if there is any tiny hole becomes bigger and bigger everytime we service it.
just my personal opinion only... up to you to decide for your car.

to get cheap air filter, buy it from spare part shop... and do the servicing at dealer service center because some dealer allows us to bring our own parts and oil. I've pactice this for my waja 1.8... which oil filter cost RM68 at proton and RM30 at spare part shop... timing kit cost 1.5K at proton and 500 at spare part shop... all parts original renault parts... imagine how much can you save...

when i bought my volvo my SA say tukar to k&N tak kacau one but he say tinting does

I dun think anybody mind since ur stating facts.. Good info!!! I'm practically blind about this.. Hahaha!! So any info is appreciated.

(loving the forum now.. So informative)

Say... Gonna be a lot of satria on sale lah like this.. LOL...

Personal 1st hand owning exp: saga megavalve, satria, wira, persona - NO MAJOR PROBLEMS AT ALL!! (exept normal wear n tear)... (cannot elaborate.. Too long)
MY PERSONAL OPINION: PROTON = OK!!

You could try to google and find out why I said so... Still its up to you because its your car... I just want to share my thoughts and some info...

OEM Vs K&N

Heheeee!!! True!!!

ahaha... that always been in my mind bro.
I bet most of the complain are from luxury car owner...its downgrading, of coz lots of complaint. not a good comparison.


after reading the k&n vs oem. . will surely wont try the aftermarket. but...how did i overlook that article. most of it says increase HP. tried also thinks ok. perhaps its my mind playing tricks...
