ciken, noneed cut and paste lar..i mmng tak faham apa dia mau cakap tu so i asked u back..cis..

haha...i like C N P marr..

becoz overwhelming of the drift Motorsport they are expending to include drift challenge into their list... so they hope that got French driver to compete as well... coz US mostly dont have Drift competition on their part.. main is drag or circuit racing...

For the hard start during warm eagine can cause by many fact:

1) Loose nozzle head.injector working over time at high spraying volume tend to weaken,unable to retract in time. Excess fuel wet spark plug result in hard crank

2) Our S4P uses independent coil for each sparkplug. Over time driing tend to heat up the coil, spark become weak as a result gotta hard crank

3) New/expired sparkplug gap too near/far apart, result in uneven sparks, especially during hot engine, gap effect become significant. If new sparkplug can loosen the iridium head, whereas for old sparkplug need to be tighten. My uncle's A31 cefiro uses his stock sparkplug for 12 years until the copper head can't be tighten anymore only he change.

4) Last but not least, hot air is bad for ignition. Noon time/after long distance, substatial hot air trapped in engine bay causes uneasy to burn the A/F mixture.

Hope this help. Justify before change anything suggested by the mech. Don't let those mech simply cut throat.

drag race is american race. drift race is asian race..it is like eating hamburger and sushi.

Mine also same, happened just now. Crank for >5s also unsuccessful. All this only happen after hot engine let say stop for awhile (refuel...) and start again. Morning cold time, start within 3 cranks.

Anyway, just now when i refueled just pour in a bottle of Waxco fuel injector cleaner, dun know what is the effect, let see.

i assume after 2hrs on highway even not hot day also maybe will cause tis?

haha... thts why they need international driver to give them support...lolz

Dear Sifus,

I have been reading a few of the past forums to see if I can locate info/answers on the following:

1. Why does the FL/FLX not have an engine cover?

2. Is it possible to fix one?

Apologies if this has been answered - but I cannot find the answers through Google - if you would know where, please direct me.

Thanks again,
D

If I could get a straight answer from Proton why would I bother asking here?

u tot that im making a fun of u now la?

Apologies - but it kind of sounds that way.

not everyone in lyn is a troll. mind u if u wanna ask here, u better not shoot all the way before u get the proper answer. i so baik ati reply u, u macam shoot me for trolling u.

cool down lar bro... he's a newbie around here dont get mad lar...aiyo.. he dunno our answer looks like trolling type mar...

Like I said, apologies if I came off rude - but the answers you provided (though baik ati - Thank you very much) are not answers at all.

Of course I asked Proton - most SC and Sales people don't seem to know - I heard all sort of things like cut cost - reduce heat etc - cover design tak cantik. Not a lot of it makes sense. Their helpline - waste of time. So asking here is almost my last resort as I expected over here there are the experts that know much much more.

so if we were to conclude, maybe that time shortage of cover, or cut cost. just that particular model or batch doesnt have that cover. even the cvt i think also dun have. we do not know how come as we also are end-users. members go to SC to buy their own covers too. ur question should particularly forward to the designers of proton, not us. if u ask why got airbag or not, that we might get to guess the answer, but for engine cover, still have to ask proton. no?

if my answers are not the answers u want, then nvm.

Like I said, thanks for providing answers. Unfortunately, I was trying to get something more concrete. I will continue to look and if I find anything concrete worth sharing with everyone here, then I will also add it here.

Thanks again.

guys, i just can't stand the metal rubbing sound in my doors, almost on all doors even tho not on the same time.

some mmbers did mention about the metal rod inside the door for the lock mechanism, i have some sponge but i might not hv a clear view/idea to fix it until i open it. hopefully tomorrow.

what's the best tape/glue to make it stick or any other alternative?
or can i just tape the whole rod? make sense right?

i thought so too, but campro I AFM+ also refers to the whole engine setup. As far as I know, for 1.6, the IAFM+ variant has reprofiled cams, so it gets higher torque at lower RPM, but lower max hp compared to 1.6 IAFM. Not sure about 1.3 IAFM+.

So its not just a simple rev cut as you said
