QUOTE(abong8 @ Jul 1 2012, 01:43 PM) Orly? Wow.. That's something new.. put it simple term, the CVT is capable of becoming two different gearbox. put in D, and it behaves like a normal gearbox, with acceptable acceleration and top speed limited by the engine capacity. put in L, and it turns into a close ratio gearbox, just to push acceleration and sacrifice top speed in the process.

AN issue inherited fromt he Saga BLM. ABS system works fine so far... Saved me from rear ending an X-Trail on PLUS two weeks ago.

The roof is a b**** to soundproof but after doing that the effect is like heaven and earth specially during rain.

The steering feels sharper now, that's it. Our car already have rear anti-roll bar, aftermarket ones are to upgrade to a thicker bar. If you have the budget, try front anti-roll bar. I think that's about RM400+ (?) Btw, I sometimes just wonder, if custom 4-1 extractor may not always be better than stock, why not stick to stock 4-1 extractor?

For FF car, usually a thicker ARB is needed in the rear to reduce understeer. The Persona should already have a stock front ARB.

We have stock rear ARB that can be seen when you look under the car. Do you see the front ARB in your car? I don't.

For that I need to look at the undercarriage of the Persona, but I can't seem to find any pictures on google. For my Saga, I know where it is. Actually we were just as puzzled in the Saga thread, no one seems to know where the heck is the stock front ARB until one member pointed it out to us So, since the Saga has a front ARB, I assume the Persona also has one

Critical thinking

With the 3 point strut bar the car feels more solid. I like doing hard turns sometimes knowing that the Persona can handle such stuff  . The 3 point strut bar does make it better but overall you won't feel much difference.
