qqmeng: nice drive up... but not only there have many PRCs waiting for you.... KL have tonnes of them too...

alpha_mid: tonite....!!! Come la, scared arr... (love this taunt)....

Come to TT tonite, both you and desertkids.... let us molest them while we poison you....

Be very careful with this car... it turns the uncle in you into a dugong hunting, red lights beating and constantly speeds over 160km/h monster, aka Pemandu Berhemah ™...

That particular uncle have always admitted he is hamsap speed demon.... and never ever advertised himself as Pemandu Berhemah™....

I am a bonafide uncle.... me not young, am usually the oldest (but hip-iest) in the TT gang....

HANG ON....!!!! You guys just did what we wanted to try all along.... 1.8MT vs 2.0CVT, manual vs paddle....

So... did the 2.0 CVT match the so called superiority of the 1.8MT...?? On paper, the 1.8MT drag 0-100km time is faster, but my main argument is that paddle shift on the 2.0 will offset the manual gearshift, thus making it go faster....

So, did the 2.0 lose to the 1.8, or did it simply match?? Or gasp.... did it perform better?????

Added on November 14, 2011, 4:33 pmBro, my advice to you (and to all others reading here)...

For minor works on car (oil changes, filter changes, etc) - goto smaller SC or even EON...

For major works AND warranty claims (sounds, clicks, bushes, etc) - goto Proton big SC itself (Sect 13, Mutiara, COE Shah Alam)...

These big SC is computerized and HAVE to enter the details of your comments/claims, and this makes it official, and these big SC usually have a technical manager AND warranty manager... the smaller SC could just snide you off with a crude remark "itu Proton ma"....

Exception to the rule, unless the smaller SC have had experience in rectifying a problem....

Example: Senaxis Ah Yap (the service manager, talks and brags much, knows enough about Inspira but not a lot) is prolly the guy serving you on the noise issue, to which i doubt he knows nuts about it...

My experience with him: he knows engines, oils, what to mod and make power.... but he donno the air filter not clipped properly at the bottom and causes noise and loss power, he simply told me "use fully syn oil will make your engine louder".... wafark???

My experience in Sect 13 warranty claim: the are courteous, friendly and listen and enters your complains, and the warranty manager is friendly...

No rubber can stick to the ground if the water puddle is deep AND running.... so drive safe and slow during heavy rain (small drizzle is ok)....

Last Thu, Cheras Taman Hussien Onn using back way (donno wafark road) towards MRR2.... reach the long slope down (at the industrial area behind Giant) with a traffic lights on top of the hill.... was behind a Polo.... heavy rain, bad visibility....

He sped off at green and i followed.... then suddenly down the road, he slowed down.... me happily went to the left lane and pressed on.... reached the left sweeping corner, hitting 90km++...

Turned the steering and yup... both fronts wheels aquaplaned and lift off.... i oso lifted leg off pedal, slowly counter, waited split second, then tap tap tap brakes....

Car "drifted" due to countering, and then back wheels aquaplaned and lifted.... i countered more and tap tap tap and long tap (not slam brakes) brakes until ABS kick in.... finally the tyres gripped the road, and i was able to "drift" out of the corner without hitting anything or spinning....

If i was in the middle lane, i would have hit the curb and prolly flipped over.... and all this happens in less than 2 seconds....

Lesson: While i attacked that corner usually (in dry and slight wet rain) at 100-120kms, and while the Conti are good in moderate wetness and rain.... THEY CANT DO SHIT IF THE ROADS IS VERY WET AND HAVE HUGE AMOUNTS OF FLOWING WATER....

Drive safe you all.... esp up and down Genting....

I doubt your air filter is not locked properly, as I personally showed him how to do it, and how to detect it....

SYMPTOMS: Your engine will sound very loud at 2,000 rpm AND very bad power (like those Wira-lution, damn loud but car not moving).... you will know if you have lost power....

But to check, simply shake and the air filter box.... if its lose, you will hear plastic knocking sound and see that the box is not straight aligned from top to bottom as the bottom will be loose....

As said, he knows engine stuff, the rest he simply bull his way thru....

Genting drive cum TT

Date: 18th Nov 2011
Time: 930pm meetup, depart at 10pm (or earlier if all comes on time)...
Meet up location: OldTown White Coffee 3Two Square (our regular TT joint la)

Pls add your name to the list below
1. Poadster (A2 or B2)
2. Jackng (any route/date)

Seems we have a consensus, most wanted to do it this Fri, except Mr-55km/h-in-SmartTag-lane and desertkids, majority winds, and we could have made someone's birthday even sweeter....

Also, looking at the drivers are mainly TT regulars, lets start the journey in PJ, and drive towards Genting..... options are to stop at BK MRR2 (to relive yourself) or to wait after the toll.... this will be discussed during the meetup at 3Two Square... the final TT spot at Starbucks First World will also be discussed there and then....

Will try to find some walkie talkie, but pls bear in mind that this is a fun drive amongst friends, GF /wives and Inspira enthusiasts, not any official event associated with any one else (except LYN Inspira thread la..).

PLEASE DRIVE CAREFULLY AND SAFELY, slowly if possible (yeah right.... just look at the racers in the list)....

LET'S HAVE FUN, SAFELY...!!!
