problem not really, problem small small, even myvi also got problem. I ask ppl help me do stp soundproof, he say preve is waaaay more solid than myvi the door. they help me drill the speaker mounting hole, they said wah so hard to drill, very good steel they using. He himself driving myvi and he say myvi everything is thin. only thing good about myvi is it is zippy, fast and light.

put some STP on the hood, i feel engine sound muffled abit.. but CVT sound still got.. i din put whole sheet like tat, just put the place where it groove inside one.. gonna get STP hood solution for maximum noise absorption, the stp silver mostly just vibration reduction. I put some at the door panel, plastic rattling sound totally gone and the bass is freaking sweet now.. last time no bass at all, only sound from tweeter. STP is 1 good sweet stuff, no feel alot power reduction also cos until now only use like 8 sheet, 1 box maybe 20kg only.

mr ben, hows urs locking prob? Is it solve?

Bout brio, dunno whether its possible or feasible for prton to rebadge it since previously the want to enter world small car market with gsc project. The engine, maybe, sharing platform, maybe, total rebadge, i dont think so personally.

But the highest possibility is for perdana replacement coz its much needed, n since building a total new perdana is not cost effective due to small sales especially for high preice prtn, rebadge is the best way i think. Whether honda allow prtn make a total revamp@just like mitsu agreement earlier on inspira, depend on how they discuss the matter n need to meet eye to eye in every proposal made. Hopefully with strong relation between drb n honda, it makes the possibility higher.
But still only a possibility, not total absolute.

About free service, it seems drb change the strategies for end of year car. Normally rebate is offer for end of year car, some from 1k to 2k generally, but this time around, diff strategy by offering free service.

Until the matter is clear whether free service means free labour, but still need to pay for the parts n oil combining with rebate@without, or total full free service without rebate, need the official statements on term n condition apply.

For me atleast, giving rebate for end of year car favourable coz in people eyes, it seems a bit legit, but offering free service, makes them feel like being stab from behind, even the cost nearly the same as giving rebate.

However its still early to comment on that matter since no official statement on terms n condition n what they really offer.

Ya its solved, SC said the soundproof block the lock mechanism, they realign it so no problem, charge me rm30 for it, which I think is ol la.. at least I don have to fork out thousands for a new door panel lol.. lesson learnt: must be real careful when doing DIY.

see when 2012 honda accord they put proton logo becos of collaboration, i 100% confirm ppl say ugly. Malaysian is like tat, thailand car is cheap, philiphines car is cheap, but u dont know their road tax, petrol very exp? In the long run like 5-10yrs, OWNING a car in malaysia is cheaper, only the car is exp. I now see no special in honda and toyota car, the pattern same only, korean car all go radical design, now all same pattern also. Preve design also nothing to shout at, but at least u dont feel u wan vomit after u see it for long time. Becos now i look at elantra i feel like vomit, at first i love it, but after few times see it on the road, at parking place, mehhh...

Just installed hood solution, cvt whine still there, maybe cut off abit high become more mid bass low bass sound.. I think if really wan eliminate cvt sound need soundproof the firewall..


Added on November 8, 2012, 3:29 pmI think cvt whine is annoying when u crawl the car at 30-40, tho if u open ur music sound bigger then its basically non existence lol.. I just now test with radio muted.

woo nice.. dunno sarawak SC got or not.. time to print the buletin and show them.. becos the SA very ***** one.. they talk like they know everything.. only good thing they help me is they fix the soundproof stuck at lock mechanism biggrin.gif but they very arrogant when i ask them how they fix it, "" Our mechanic very lihai one, don worry, they got ways one." i was like =.=", tomorrow i go offshore again, hopefully back can go SC get this new ECU, becos the dealer/SC big boss/MD tell my dad they will come out with new ECU soon months ago, if the SC pretend to be sohai again then no choice direct find the boss, easy to settle.
