Hi, you too have problem with poor fm reception. I notice it goes bad when driving, most of the time it's fne when idling.

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.

Here are some photos of my Snow White.

The first day when we met at the stock yard


Full body facial at Sierra Glow


Coincidentally met 2 Proton sedans there


Extra shades at Ecotint - Had the front windscreen tint stripped and dual layer on the sides and rear


The final result


Night shot


Next project would be R3 lowered spring, followed by new shoes

It costs RM 700 for a full body glass coating. The material used was silica, by the way it includes head lamp, tail lamp, wiper arm, basically the whole exterior of your car. As for tinting, I went for Smoke 20, which means VLT 20%. The darker the tint the more expensive it is. The heat rejection was superb now, front tint was Raybarrier (same as our standard rear windscreen tint) with heat rejection up to 97% compared to the lauya standard tint which has a heat rejection rating of some what 80% only. The reason why I chose EcoTint was because, they can offer me warranty for both layers of tinting, although I am paying a little bit extra, but I certainly feel that it's worth it.

Hi, glass coating means adding another layer of silica on top of the original paint to protect it from the element. There's only one type of coating available at Sierra Glow. One of it's advantages is the water bead effect which repels water, as a result dirt is harder to stick on the car surface. It's damn easy to wash as well, a bit of normal car wash shampoo and it will bring back the shine.

Really where? Our stock rim and tire can fetch this amount and I am really surprised. I wan to change rim too, probably enkei sc 33 matte or shiny black.

Nice. What rims they have at the shop? Got any light weight japanese rim, I am probably gonna get 17inch with continental sport contact.

I was there on Monday and I have to agree with you that Glenmarie SC is a little bit slow. Sent my car in for the 1st 1k service, plus to check a few things. I had it sent it first thing in the morning at 8am and got my car back at 5:30. Only few complaints, alignment off, steering wheel vibrates when driving at 120km/h, ecu & tcu update, radio reception not good, front rh door trim got rattling sound when heavy bass, high speed braking got helicopter sound and rear lh outer tail lamp got defect. Order in progress for both front disc and the tail lamp

Managed to solved most of time except the radio reception and alignment, steering tilting to the right when going straight. Had it adjusted today. Now perfect.

Luckily I still managed to get Preve haha.

You waited there ah? Yesterday got open? Wasn't it the Sultan birthday yesterday?

Nope. It seems like they do not have a solution at the moment.

Wow, so many white Preve around. The other colour variant look more appealing in those photos.

Any news for Preve r3 lowering spring set? I can't wait to lowered my ride.

Eh, I scratched the towing latch located on the bottom before when i was trying to make a U-turn by driving up to a slope at my neighbor's house. Damn I thought the bumper kena at first, thank god it was just the stupid hook. One more thing, I do find that the lower arm quite low already. So now the only solution is to get a bigger diameter rim to compensate it hahaha.

By the way any sifu here mind to show step by step photos on how to add a hose to the engine mounting. Is it just use normal paip hose and tie it with cable tie around the engine mounting?

Who's driving a sliver preve with green rims? I always see it on kesas highway. Just want you to know that the rim looks freaking cool.

My car is still having the bad radio reception problem. It only happens when driving, when idling it seems ok most of the time. It's getting more and more annoying.

Oh, I'll give it a try. Very annoying

How do we do that? Mind to share?

Your FC is awesome. I am heavy on my right foot, FC is really bad, RM85 only gets around 400km. That day I cucuk Golf 1.4 on kesas. Performance wise more or less the same, 0-100 golf is fast by 0.1 seconds, however in terms of horse power and torque preve is slightly higher. syok.

I did mine at EcoTint taipan and I am given warranty for both layers. , overpaid but it's worth it. Mine 20% VLT on top of the standard one that comes with the car, I suggest you should change the tint on the front windscreen, because that one is literrally rubbish.
