hi everybody,

my brother just drove my EB up to 190kph after been cucuk-ed by cefiro 2.0 on PLUS Hiway. You all surely knows how it came out aite?

BTW, i asked him, did he used the L-Mode. He said, no.

So, let me ask you forum, did anyone of you ever use that L in our EB CFE? Last time i noticed one had ask about it, but not really sure if anyone has yet tried it.

Info: That EB just got new OCV and new steering rack.

have you tried using [3] or [2] for more power or when overtaking on federal roads?

1. haha me too. too afraid that i might break the GB. just asking if anyone had done that on other CVT GB on other car. Because im quite unsure when the power surge will come, when overtaking. i know the curve 2000 - 4000 rpm, but since im not that pro yet, most of time, i just step on EB paddle in the hope all power needed will be delivered
If anyone there not yet test drove EB, please let me know ok?

In the old days, i use to switch off overdrive (Camry 2.2, Perdana V6), then the GB drop one gear.

2. yeah same case to me when drinking vanilla coke, hoping to win Mini Cooper

yeah, what a question. let me start again

what are guys do to stay at top rpm while overtaking? or EB CFE won't change the ratio when we floor the gas paddle?

thanx man for the tips

hi all,

anybody knows how to make the middle seating "movable"?

since my niece and nephew are not that big, seating in the middle and my father are very much like to seat at the third row, i would like to make more leg room for the third row. but exora middle seat position is not adjustable.

any ideas?

Bold CFE 7-seaters. Silver.

if you guys find any workaround, would also like to know. ive been searching since bought EB. Never thought that fuction didnt exist. maybe that engineer went vacation or something. unfinish design.

mmm..with the slanting doesn't really a solution actually. thanx anyway.
because the problem is room for the foot. if any bengkel out there can alter a little bit the rail, could be the best.

just brought my EB CFE to 10000km-service today. reported the tendency to turn to the left.

SC did alignment. i asked, how many times (every time i send to service?) should i do alignment and why it is always turn only to the LEFT?

i got this answer twice: because Malaysian road a built at certain degree, so the car will turn to the left. (safety measure of the road-construction)

this answer don't explain to me really good, cause ive driven like 10 other cars (not all mine ) on Malaysian road so far (Perdana V6, Exora CPS, Kancil, Kelisa, Iswara, Saga, BMW E46, EVO3, Satria GTi etc etc) and ive driven on autobahn many times.
i never encountered this problem before.

any idea?

before this, same problem with GT Radial. Sent to SC, still turned to left. then trade-in with Pirelli P1 Cinturato. Did alignment, then 2 months, the problem comes haunting again.

the mechanic told me, this could be the "center line" of the tyre? i told him, how come i used 2 (TWO!) set of tyres, and the very same problem occurs?

he said, this could be a bad luck, that both set of tyres have the same problem: unsymmetrical center line

i wanted to say to him WTF, but he seems very nice guy. and im also tired, came with my dad, too. if you don't know the cause, just admit it. be a man! i can wait till proton find the cause, but don't lie laaa.

man, i typed very much today. bye²

im guessing, he's right about the angle of the road. BUT, how come ALL the cars we drove previously didn't have this problem? i also have friends (civil engineer) and said, that angle should not be a problem.

SCHEISSE!

thanx mate. at least, we are not alone

the CFE uses the (soft-)turbocharger from borg-wagner model KP39 (see google), the same as in audi TDi (older version). borgwagner also vendor for latest twinscroll turbocharger (or twincharger) for BMW F-Model.

yesterday tried the 205Nm torque with one BMW E60 on PLUS hiway. that E60 flashed high beam, i signaled to the left, and floored the gas pedal. 120 till 150 kmh. uphill. the E60 cannot "tapau" my Bold CFE. (i think it shud be E60 520i. otherwise, CFE has no chance!)

on the other hand, i am still experiencing "engine dies off when engaging R", even all the software are updated. so sad.

haha not always got chance la. CFE at my parents house. yes, ive driven up to 190, but never reach 200kmh. 150 pun dah melayang.

anyone done any mod to improve stability of our exora? buang while cornering is quite dangerous.

some suggested, bigger tyres. any improvement?
anyone using adjustables? or is it a crap to use that mods for MPV?

hard to say. just buy Exora. if got problems, and get updates from service center. all is free. so, no problem.

i traded in the GT-Radial rubbish for Pirelli P1 Cinturato. but still with standard rim, R16. the noise is gone now. the grip also much much better. with GT-Radial, exora is about to take off at speed 140kmh. but with Cinturato, take-off speed is about 190-195kmh. you can feel the difference. believe me.

agreeeee with you, safety is what concern me. GT-Radial is very very dangerous. i advise all of Exora owner to trade that off. add a little more money (my dad added Rm400, if im not wrong. i'll ask him later if anyone interested), then you can enjoy the exora with safety.

i don't have that much budget for absorber/spring mod now. because, it will void the warranty, as my understanding. but still considering. thanx for the tips.

racing AND driving fast are two different things. in country like Germany, people are driving 200kmh on MPV, 300kmh on sport car. we are driving slow and dangerous. you can hardly see people in Europe cilok² on their highway.

Let me tell you why: Because they use the "lane memotong" ONLY when they are "memotong". video below shows the example. the BMW and the Porsche use only left lane when they are going to pass another vehicle. here, people use "lane memotong" even aafter they finish "memotong". very annoying! this annoying behaviour, 90%, leads to some of our youngsters to "cilok²". believe me.

back to the topic: i don't race my Exora on Plus hiway. i just drive fast on straight line.

btw, i was in both of them. own EB CFE. it really comes down to what you really need.
EB CFE:
+speed
+space
+safety (ABS, EBD, SRS)
-price

Alza
+design
+-safety (donno the spec)
+-price (not cheap, at all)
