New Vehicle Collection Checklist [attachmentid=2306019]
Locktech Pedal Lock information from Poadster (sh@rty5)
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
The build quality of the lock is very good, with solid and thick steel base.
Installation is quick (as the sifu seem very used to installing these locks) with minimal removal of parts (only the cover below the steering wheel is removed). The lock base is screwed into the chassis (I cant see from outside as the installer had to twist and contour his body to slide under the dashboard) and tightened with 3 screws. Finally, the ignition cut-ff is placed by "plug and play" to the existing socket, and the cover is replaced.
Using the lock is really simple, just pull the handle till it clicks and its done. This will then prevent the brake pedal to be fully depressed and prevents the gear shifter from being moved from P (brake pedal shift lock system).
For more security, you can engage the second lock by depressing it in. Unlocking is done in reverse, if double locked - the depressed lock must be unlocked first as the "handle" lock will not be released. The "handle" lock will snap return to the base (spring loaded) once unlocked, and the brake pedal can be fully depressed.
The ignition cut off works as indicated. You can still turn the ignition switch to "ON" but the starter wont come on "ACC" if the lock is in place.
All in, its worth install the lock as it will add another theft prevention security to your car, and most importantly with minimal installation hassle and no "reworking" of any existing car wiring that could void your warranty.
Price: RM2XX (other places I have surveyed - RM350 - 400 for double lock, RM300 - 350 for single lock) Quality: Solidly built with thick and heavy steel. 3 pcs of keys provided. Value for money: 4.5 of 5

haha..glass not important, most important is the power steering hose.
like wat zul said, most parts are already local parts, the tweeter and steering leather is a very good example.
joking aside, maybe it is a publicity move? can now tell people that even the windows are from mitsu.

being 1st batch owners does not only simply mean we have more imported parts, it's more than that...the feeling of being unique on the road for about 2-3 months is priceless....turning head wherever you go & get people admiring the car and telling you that it looks damn good...even just as recent as last month, I was doing balancing & alignment at my regular mechanic shop..a stranger just came up to me saying "you have a very nice car & the mod is tastefully done" yet another compliment after I had the car for 6months...
so window with mitsu or proton logo is just only a window...nothing more nothing less...having more mitsu logo dosent make it "more" of a lancer but I am glad for those who gets mitsu window as we are paying rm90k car for almost an exact rm120k CBU ..that is another priceless feeling...

ya.. at the end of the day, we pay 90k for 120k's chasis and drive train..what more can u ask from a car?
Hmmm...this afternoon I was at the Taman Tun showroom...saw a silver 2.0P with chasis number 91xx. Only the front windscreen is Mitsubishi. Side windows and rear windscreen are Proton. The sales guy told me the leather seats are Nappa leather. Is that true ?
Current promotion options : 1. 5 yr warranty + 4k discount 2. 5 yr warranty + 5 yr free service + low interest

Extended warranty is not tied to any insurance companies. It is given by Proton. They will issue a certificate within 2 months of purchase of the car.
Anyone here driving the 1.8 manual Inspira? Care to share your thoughts/opinions on it?
I've test driven the 1.8 CVT model, which leaves a positive impression to me - very smooth and quiet (compared to my 3 year old Persona - harsh engine, rattles everywhere)
Just wondering if the manual Inspira is as smooth as the CVT model and at least as engaging to drive as my current Persona.
u wont get smooth ride with manual unless ur pro in tackling clutch but i would say with manual you control the ride either smooth cruise or pedal to the floor race.....hehe
for the cvt gear its superbly smooth no doubt the best i ever driven in auto car.....
i'm looking forward to get the manual version soon enough...
Added on July 2, 2011, 7:06 pmowh ya...today i went the showroom to ask whats the best offer....
salesman tell me....5 years free service + 3k discount + free smart tag + 2.84% from PBB....
showroom located at balakong, cheras

I have been read somewhere before that said 1.8 CVT is underpower compare to 1.8 MT. The differences of 1.8 CVT and 2.0 CVT also is big compare to the price different. That's one of the reason i booking Inspira 1.8 MT.

by add a 10KG EVO X spoiler it will make the car more stable when u drive 120KM/h, but the fuel consumption will increase and also your rear tyre will be "die" faster. but of coz in long term basis. after i see a post about the spoiler.. i might consider it twice..anyway.. i already have inspira.. modification is just a matter of $$$ we have. if we have extra, wanna change to WHAT SO EVER also can.. the most important is the parts and chasis that is same as lancer.
p/s about the steeering hose...it is important that is must original mitsu? better steer? hmmm... after waranty that time i change to ori mitsu lo.. hahahah...
