For me it's more like trying to clear the 1.8 manual, as you know la... Malaysian more to auto transmission.

RM300? that's very high budget... lol... Try look for Panasolite(Mfg by Panasonic), it's recommended by the Pro... lol

Cheap thing ain't good, Good thing ain't cheap..


Reach Penang d... FC improve a lot, after 3.5k km from the last service. I think the extra 250ml poured in has gone to the sky d... now the car feel just nice...

eat your maggie and go die

I don't think so.. If they wanna clear the manual they'll be giving discounts instead.. Why bother spending more to upgrade a car but sell it at the same price as before? And it's partly also because manual 1.8 has better performance compared to the CVT..even the 2.0..

Not many 1.8m on the road leh...No doubt better performance. Some how the car does not sell well in the market... Hardly a Malaysian will pay that price for a manual car. You might be right, only Proton know..

Alrite mates. Gotta sleep. Tomorrow waking up early, gotta arrive there in the R8, in a coat.

*petrol on me, toll on me, I'll be broke for 2 weeks after this trip *

Wish me luck.

Lol... Early morning huh? mana? I'll go island, for r8 sake

500 confirm ada USB.

Convoy to island

Some weekend only...My gf's hometown. At Nibong Tebal/Jawi

Erm... Me using Sony now, Ham & Xan using Pioneer, I think.

Go Abang Shop and play with all those HU before you decide on one. So don't rush la... Me no ICE fanatic, only look for better than average sound quality..

Today i poisoned 50% but too badno antidote

go Ipoh I sudah mau mampus...

drive to Penang I really eat maggie and go die liao.

oo. thanks. will go look out at abang shop and see. xD. jawi far lor. im staying at island

Hi.... just book a PE last Thursday... awaiting loan and car....2weeks i think. FULL INTRO BELOW.... skip to the end for some important Qs for LYN PPC.

Myself - Jacky, 32 (old ady), Male, OUG - Night Shifter (wont be available Sat - Tue) But 24hrs free on Wed - Fri......
I am a newbie in cars product/Tech stuff... please dun bully.

Old Car - S.Neo - Mline - Stock - Manual

New car - PE - Silver - Hi Line - Auto. No Intention of modding except for DIY that do not cost much.. Wont be able to poison me (of course - stock tint will remove and put others )

Been reading LYNNPPC thread since V23....that is how long I have been surveying for a new car... 2months back. Wanna buy new car cause me like the new 1.5 Myvi.... but for the pricing of 56K, it is just for the looks, and near to nothing feature, except turtling, + my GF no like Myvi... saying it is a girl car forget it - i went and surveyed other car model

I have Surveyed in order:-

Peugeot 207 SV - Tempted to buy due to the 5yrs free service & warranty + 5k discount somemore. But the interior feel too cheap to my liking. Door like toy car closing....no oopmh....doesnt feel right when cornering. Could be the balancing still for 206hatchback. If 308, at the same price, I WILL BUY IT....

Swift - too small

FLX - GF + Family no like. They said it looks like old man car from the back.......somemore only in solid white which is hard to maintain.... (shhh... i like this car)

PE - already book. THATS WHY I AM HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!

Forte and Mazda - low in $$$$ no intention of buying as I wan full specs, but both car is good.

LASTLY - Persona R - was thinking of the Pro and cons.... should I wait? or should I not....the design looks ok, but I am expecting the price range to be from 55k-70k from Standard to Exec model which is bit wee off from my budget. Chances of it coming out in Feb & March is high but it could take longer and mebe need to wait until mid yr + 1st batch of cars from Proton usually gave numerous trouble - so might only buy it if possible end of 2012 (which the work already end) . Since I know Neo will production will be cut next yr, except for CPS line, my Neo resell value will drop... -

SO - PE is the way to go. In my Budget + Full Spec + Family Car

SO, read and read and read and read multiple forums, with lotsa info learned, especially here in LYN PPC... very informal but fun... the way I likes it.


QUESTIONS for you (LYN PPC)
1) I am a manual driver - changing to Auto - How is it going up Genting? I knew that some of you here is able to go up without any problem, and some make it there but hard. Is it that those that make it up use L/2/3 gear (which I intend to use) and not D?

2) I like DIY... Does any of you have personal DIY or links for Persona? For example, I like the site below for PE DIY mods...
http://faieelegance.blogspot.com/search/label/DIY

3) Any of you got a good link to crack Lokatoo to papago x8.5?

4) My FC for my NEO previously was 9-10L/100KM - then got light footed driving like an uncle at 90-120kmh only... what do you think my FC for PE Auto will be like?

5) Any gals member here?? I see only guys nick and hamsap posts alot .....



Please pray I have no problem with this new PE.... I have drove Aeroback and Neo (touchwood) - no issues. Hopefully, Proton god will treat me well again.

Welcome to the club
To answer your question;
1) Climb can climb, not neccessary to use L/2/3 gear since in D if there's not enough power, it'll auto downshift the gear to give the power. Sometimes it better to use lower gear at some spot to use your engine braking, slowing down the car rather than wearing the brake pads by pressing the brake the whole way.
2) If you want you can join the ppoec club which got quite few DIY stuff and tutorial.
3) Someone else here might able to answer you since I never use papago before
4) Most likely will be the same or higher a bit. Mostly depends on how many times you accelerate from stop and how aggressive.
5) Last time got but MIA already

Ham using Pioneer, Xan using Cannywood..

hehe.. Good choice to buy a PE.. Btw im staying bukit jalil only and we do have mini TT in sri petaling quite frequently.
1) Im a manual driver all this while b4 my PE too.. If u want to go up genting with ease ur standard PE will do fine.. Only if u are racing up to genting u will feel that ur car is a bit inadequate. U can just shift to 3 when going up genting to maintain speed and power all the time..
2) The best DIY we have is the link that u gave above .. Faieelegance.. So far he provide a lot of good DIY tutorial.
3) So far as i know the best crack is to Lokatoo X5..
4) IF u go light footed with ur PE, u can achieve 7.5L/100km at best.. Normally u will average around 8-8.7L/100km.
5) hmmm nope. all sausage fest over here.. hahahaha.. If there are any probs, feel free to post it here, we will help help u diagnose as best as possible.

yeah true also.

RM 500 cheap? Go change HU better la. Oem speaker is good enough if your change your speaker.
