Its Sunday, Good morning Preveians smile.gif

Bet everyone is enjoying the sleep and relaxing rather than posting in forum..

Just a quick post..sunbath my headlamp yesterday, no rain when I drove out yesterday, so cannot check the headlamp mist problem but the driver's side power window 'gluk gluk gluk' sound during up/down when I sunbath my car yesterday...

Want to fix one problem, another problem come out.. vmad.gif



Proton please buckle up, the design is nice, the road handling is excellent, but with all minor problems and need to go SC often is a real pain in the A**..

Preve is for those who have many extra time or annual leave to go to SC often or DIY ownself??? whistling.gif

Hi guys, I had a midnight drive to Genting with full load and the drive was rather pleasant. Didn't feel any bit of lack of power, the only annoying thing was the vibration before the rpm hits 2k, so what I did was, I down shift to the previous gear and then up shift to minimized the vibration. Managed to smoke a Latio, vios and city on up hill drive. None the less my friends were impressed with the car, which makes me feel even better. I was damn afraid of road block, because my car has a second layer of ecotint smoke 20 on top of the standard tint. I had the front windscreen tint strip and installed ecotint ray barrier, because the standard one was literally rubbish in heat rejection.

On the other hand I feel pretty bad for my car, because it's still in the burn in period and is scheduled for the first service tomorrow. I heard that there's ECU and TCU update for Preve CFE with chassis number below 24k, after my friend had it done and according to him the car has evolved into a greater beast.

My conclusion is, the Preve CFE is truely a great car and I am happy that I made the right decision. Cheers.

try the engine mounting MOD, turbo pressure hose with cable ties, new ECU/TCU remap, it will reduce the low end engine vibration.
