Hi all.
Getting my Preve is 2 weeks time. Hope to join all of you guys as a community.
Chassis number given was 8444. Can i know if this is the newer batch or the older (and slightly problematic) batch?
Hoping to get a reply and not get lost in this thread. Thanks.

QUOTE(Saya_Dhuang @ Jul 16 2012, 07:13 PM) Bro, Firstly congratz! Secondly, 8444 is not the among the earliest but it's not among the latest as well. That one is around 3-4 weeks ago. The latest that I know of is 11*** already. Mind share with us the engine number? Because newer Chassis Number does not guarantee that the car is problem free. As the famous quote said, since u're getting the car in this year, do not expect the car to be problem free yet. Many isues that Proton need to sort out first. TQ Need to ask my SA for the engine number. But those batches with the OWV problem cant be determined thru chassis number bro?

Hey all.
Getting my car this coming monday. Already planned a list of this to add on to the car.
1) Soundproof rubber strip from faifai as his design is the latest one. Although he recommended the small D instead of the big D strip. Anyone can recommend which would be better? Small or big?
2) Chrome lining at the window for a more executive feel. And mybe the wheel arches as well, but a fine example would be like the Honda Accord.
3) Q-Max 3 point grounding (photo conductor). Might be a test mule for this and will write a review on it later. VS I will decide later on.
4) Lastly, a fine coat of Sierra glow on the car.
Do share any experience on all this mods if you have done them and recommend other mods that can be done on the Preve.
Thanks.

Just now test lenjan the car. Past 2k when the boost comes in, there is a 'flap flap flap' sound, like paper flapping in the wind.
Could it be the turbo units? Or any beltings?
Noise at the C pillar is still there.

Bro fulat. Can post pics of the soundproof rubber that you have done.
The burnt smell is really smelly. Smells like burnt engine oil. The kind you smell on an old datsun with blue smoke.

My experience last time in my old satria, petronas no power but fuel saving. Shell 95 is good for long distance. Very good mileage with it. Esso is actually so so. But since my CC give good rebates with esso, stick with it.

QUOTE(diadokmai @ Jul 23 2012, 11:36 PM) no mod bro..use all standard..it is my curiosity that make incident happen. btw..i with ESSO so many time..when the ron97 is at rm2.10..i always fill up my previous gen 2 with it...hahaha now only cant manage to buy ron95 coz i am saving for family btw..when in emergency happen..any brand is ok for me.. just happen near my place got this OIL STATION...BURAQOIL...  but still esso is my first choice Added on July 23, 2012, 11:38 pmbro can i know what types of CC u use? if i eligible to apply..i want to consider changing my current cc  Mine is public bank. Cant recall how much rebate they give, but this card is purely for petrol only. usually they advertise at the pump itself the credit card. Other benefits like F&B tarak. For me, i just need the cc for the petrol rebate and for emergencies only. No need so many cc.
