Saw a red Lancer in the car park near my office...i think it's ori Lancer gua...lol....btw, i noticed the Lancer red is different from the Inspira plum red....frankly, i don't like the plum red....the Lancer red is much nicer.
*
i prefer the inspira red, it has a darker tone. the lancer red is too pale imo so it deosn't age as well.

This part i don't understand. What does it means MIEC only kicks in at 4.5k?? You mean MIVEC not working below 4.5k RPM???  shocking.gif

mivec macam vtec ma.... not godlike vvti or dvvt or dual vvti where it operates across all range...

As said I am not kyheng, and yes agreed with this one, full tank speed over 180kmh clocked 400km is considered good edi, i just discuss last night with my fren, we might go buy 1.8 MT together mid next month, wuhu! After that do some mild mod on engine, pulley, full set exhaust, air filter and go tapau both 2.0P and LGT, wahahahahhaha

how come your current IP same with kyheng?

Now budgeting for PPS/SG my Lancer and sound proofing at AutoKL....i think will set me back 2K liao...you do any soundproofing to your car??

bro, Inspira is already very quiet even without soundproofing. You can save the money for some other purposes.

if u r opting to handling since the car got power, change rim 1st. if u trade in 1st day get higher price. for pps/sg it can be done manually(almost some effect) by washing car+polymer sealant. 700+trade in rim can get a 17" with UHP tyre(im using maxxis ipro) abit noisy but grip is good on wet n dry
*
Nope. I am happy with 16" rim. Like i said, this is family sedan, not vroom vroom car. Comfort is more important than handling...anyway, the default handling is already very good. And smaller rims usually translate to a slightly better FC.

Update:
Loan approved and signed liao. I nego with the bank to give me slightly lower interest rate, better than nothing mah....at least i syiok got more discount....like buying vege at market...haggle, haggle...haha. Downpayment paid. Now SA tries to get is ASAP for me. She said now need the do something at the Custom, needs a few days. Car is already available, chassis number recorded, but waiting for delivery from Tanjung Malim via trailer. She said got delivery everyday....the branch here can do 100+ cars per month!

LGT red is more expensive than Proton Plum Red, RM2800 vs RM1800... diff paint quality kot... go figure...


Check back here when you get the car... see how long u can keep it vroom vroom-less... I kept mine till past 1K service... cle got his raped to immediately after taken delivery... brows.gif brows.gif

The car need to be paid tax to custom, and cleared to leave the factory.... it will take 2-3 days for delivery, and you can chase the SA to do up the JPJ part while waiting delivery... else that will take 2-3 days (esp if JPJ computer system is down)...

After that, cum join us for TT...!!!

Good idea....i ride it for a week or two first, if no need, then just save my money....thanks for the advice....i also feel the NVH very good when i test drive the car, better than the Forte 1.6SX i've tested.....but i didn't go on highway, so dunno how it'll sound when hits 120km/h.

if you are not the unlucky one, you will hear nothing at 120km/h. You probably can hear the obvious engine and wind sound above 140km/h.

I did PPS for my black Inspira early this month, & that was one of the worst thing I've ever done to my car (my car is not even 6 months old...). I understand that after applying PPS, the company claim that Ur car's paint won't fade & Ur car will get showroom-like shine for years. Plus, after reading some of the newspaper articles posted in their website, I had this impression that after applying PPS, U just have to wash Ur car regularly & any dirt or whatever U can just wipe clean. So I thought okla, since I dun really have time to really take care of my car & as most of U guys here know, black car can be very difficult to take care of.

I spend quite a substantial amount to have PPS for my car plus I added about RM120 for windscreen protectant (somewhat like Rain-X). That very weekend (I applied PPS on Thursday), watermarks started to appear on the car. Granted I didn't rinse the car over after rain. Ok fine, the company said they dun guarantee against watermarks. But since the PPS was so high-tech, I find it difficult to believe it couldn't even prevent watermarks from forming. & prior to applying PPS, my car didn't have any watermarks. Ok, so I sent the car back to the company & they cleaned it using a special cleaner costing about RM80 (after discount) & told me I shud rinse my car after rain. Funny enuff, right after I got outta the shop, it rained & when I got home, the watermarks started to appear edi.

Nowadays it's rainy season. & my car has become sorta watermark magnet. Even immediately after washing, if it rains, watermarks would appear. & those watermarks will only disappear after using that special cleaner. So, instead of getting easier to care for, now I find that it's become more cumbersome & my car require more care than before. Previously my car hardly have any watermarks at all.

So I shud've been a member with those car wash providing waxing service like Shine Shine or whatever. & I just wished I could just peel this PPS coating away. Haih...

huh Bro Tenno.. this is serious. I always thought PPS will be an added advantage and not a create more problem. Your experience showed that these extra coating have the their own disadvantage. There are not perfect products.. I always thought teflon is a wonder material. Somehow something went wrong during the coating process perhaps?..whatever it is, you should get a refund and not having to pay for more.

For me, i do schedule myself to wax the car (my new inspira and my the other 2 years old "T" car) with the pasted wax (turtle wax) every 6 months. Within the 6 months, every 1 or 2 months i will do the "express wax" using the liquid sealant (PG is i am not mistaken), which is much easier than the pasted wax. Every weekend, i will wash my car with the wax and wash 2 in 1 soap (Kits). Total is less than RM100 a year.

Also, every 2 months, i will use the leather seat conditional and cleanser for my leather seat, cannt remember the brand.

I wished that was the case... but during the 1st time I brought my car back also the company already said this product does not guarantee that my car won't get scratches or watermarks.. fine la, but how come a substance as high-tech as Teflon (the slipperiest substance known to man) cannot prevent these things ? & as I said, my car was just fine before applying PPS, got watermark also I can just wash it away...now become watermark magnet edi.

Exactly. You got a point there. The before and after case is always valid. I found it hard too believe its in their clause that warranty minus the watermarks.. To me how could they sell the product if there is significant risk of getting watermark.. and now customers have to fork out RM80 for the cleanser??? Thats is simply making profit out of a known defect product. This in not cheap product..RM700+.
