Anybody here plan to spray their EB wheel arc with some sort of rubber spray or anti-rust compound ? I'm thinking of to apply some coating to prevent rust and also to reduce the sound of small stone hitting the wheel arc... the sound are just wayyyyyyyyy too annoying...

Very true... Unless u are making some sort of secret additional lock/security on your own...

And i actually thinking of to do some diy extra security for my eb... Perhaps additional ignition switch...

Hi,
To all EB owner. I plan to get Bold Executive next month.
So need some advice from all of you.
This car mainly drive by my wife to work. So only on weekend, this car will be family car (4 person) and occasionally will add 2 more person (In law).
Should I go for executive or premium version.
Please advice....
*
If u plan to get a MT exec is ok... But for AT definitely will have high FC with the 1.6 NA engine with chassis near 1.5 tonne... I actually almost go for AT exec, but finally get the CFE because of the extra features that to me worth more than they charging.

Price are for Solid color

AT NA - RM 71,762.00
CFE CVT - 79,562.00

Price difference about 7.5K

And you'll get A turbocharger, CVT gearbox, Leather Seat, Reverse Cam, Front fog lamps, Rear spoiler, Door visor, Tinted Windows, Navigator, Auto Cruise,

With turbocharger, the FC is very good... smile.gif

IMHO lah, it is a very good value MPV compare to other MPV below 100K...

My clarion player wont eject the cd inside and when in cd/mp3 mode it will show err 2. Go thru the manual it says the cd is stucked.

Should i go to clarion or proton? or is there anyway to eject the cd manually like some small hole like our dvd rom...

OCV problem come again  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif

I think the main reason OCV faulty is because the ECU tune is not good enough, that's why Proton release new update for the ecu

This Saturday will travel to Mersing, Johor  rclxm9.gif  Will send my EB Cfe tomorrow to SC to fix OCV and Update to latest ecu
*
Let us know what the difference with the latest ecu...

After got the car for few days, so far quite happy with the car, except:

1. Is that a way to make the engine's cooling fan not so noise? Inside the car is ok but when you outside the car, the noise is loud!

2. Brake is not so smooth when press harder to slow down, normal or disc brake problem?
*
1 - nope, unless u add more sound proofing
2 - if its vibrate when u press the brake it prolly coz of disc warp...

the only 1 thing that i'd upgraded is the air filter/cleaner to metal mesh kind of type..it wont increase any HP/Torque but it cuts off the power lag which i think most of us EB owners had experienced..frm my experience.

cosmetic wise not really knee to it, all standard. maybe just maybe next 2 years i'll change the rims/tyre.  smile.gif

Not sure whether the EB came with anti roll bar, unless some ppl here had installed Ultra Racing products?

If you plan to get extra from your EB take a look here! Plug and Play RaceChip  => https://www.facebook.com/racechipchiptuning...ster=ts&fref=ts

I wanted to have cocoa grey, but my SA told me that I have to wait. No way, I cant wait any longer teehee  rclxm9.gif
so i chose plum red EB CFE. i just reached 1200++km on odo, but still maintain the 'running-in' driving behavior.
About fuel, I use Primax 95 until now, and will slowly change to BHP Ron95. Thanks for the advice bro  notworthy.gif

driving an MPV was quite awkward for me since I only have a Perodua Kancil before. Of course we want a problem-free car, but my EB CFE has few minor problems. First the third brake light; 3 LEDs did not light up, and already told the SC, waiting for replacement part

Secondly, my CD player; it keeps on 'hanging', not responding and then turned off by itself. When I turn it back on, all my radio presets were gone. it was like the CD player is self-resetting. this problem occurs quite a few times, and ONLY HAPPEN if I use the radio.  doh.gif It do not happen when I used audio CD. The people at the SC already dissemble, and reassemble the CD player but it still happen. is there any other solution? or am I the only EB owner that have this problem?

About the engine, as usual, as I read on previous threads before, there is engine jerking when i started to drive from stationary, but I'm sure it is a normal behavior for CVT right?  hmm.gif  overall, I'm very impressed to own this EB CFE. My original plan was to buy a Saga FLX, but my father advised me to buy a bigger car, so I choose Exora Bold, and it worth! No regret at all  thumbup.gif

FYI, I live in Kuala Selangor

yay another plum red EB owner here ! rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Hi guys. Thinking of buying the ixora bold 1.6 premium cvt. would love the hear your reviews. (The performance, maintenance etc) all comments are highly appreciated (pro or cons)

If you could tolerate for some jerking at low speed/low rpm, some whining sound at low speed, it is a good MPV below 100K range...

It sounds pretty bad isn't it? This will bey first mpv.  Thinking of getting either bold or wish. But the price for bold is very tempting. I am now driving sentra.  Need to let it go since my kids are getting bigger and naughtier.  Need a bigger space for them to jump smile.gif. When you said about jerking and those noises, do that effected to all the variant? Which one are u driving now?
*
I'm driving BOLD. Those symptom only in BOLD variant with CFE + CVT. Well i'm writing about the whining sound n jerking because that what most people complaining about... as for me, i can live with it... not a problem for me... Test drive one lah, you will get what i mean... smile.gif

I trade original tyre & rim upgrade with enkei light rim 17' & Neuton NT5000 215/50/17 (semi soft/medium). Rear coil add with damper. I feel more grip(brek) & more confident during cornering or u-turn. May be if install with Michelin PS3 225/50/17 will be much better feel/confident & comfort too. Most important more safety.  cool2.gif
