Added on December 15, 2012, 7:27 pmThere is something classic to be shared on the Prevoc Convoy today to Teluk Intan for Mohd Aizat Idris wedding.

Somewhere along the route there was a road block with police with armed weapons.
He did let go Khairol Azizi's car (lead car) and stopped me somehow (2nd car) and throw me several questions.

Police : You orang convoy ke?
Me : Ya bang, 11 kereta pergi member wedding kat Teluk Intan. Dia juga Preve owner.
Police : Apa club ni? HQ kat mana? Siapa ketua?
Me : Oh....ini Club Prevoc. Kita tak ada HQ, semua internet based, ada website and facebook group. Ketua? Dia dah cabut, depan saya tu..... (Sorry Khairol, I won't want him to kacau people at the back or phone Jerie Lim)
Police : Ini club untuk Preve turbo saja ke?
Me : Tidak, semua kita mengalu-alukan
Police : Oh....saya mau join !!!!
Me : Tunggu bang, I tulis itu website bagi dalam kertas

Busy looking for a paper and I found this in my glovebox.....

Kenn Teoh sticked the flyers on several Preve he met in Sitiawan too.
What are you waiting for?

The story above is real, and can be agreed the policer (if he does join the club soon, I hope he will)

Prevoc Convoy - Mohd Aizat Idris Wedding - Teluk Intan - 15-12-2012

Slow acceleration, ECU/TCU remap. You can also try the turbo pressure hose with cable ties tighten it.
Vibrating feel on heavy braking, engine mounting design (too much gap, not able to absorb all the vibration). Either a revised version of engine mounting or you can try the engine mounting mod with fuel hose.
Uneven rear boot alignment, because of the boot lid striker. Send to service centre to rectify it.

Ecotint, please refer to the nearest Ecotint dealer.
Refer to the Ecotint warranty card for more information.

This is nothing do with warranty anymore.
Its about compensation by COSE to the owner

I never had issue with HU keep ejecting CD, first time heard so. Perhaps a lemon unit?

About the seat, I'm not sure what car you are comparing with because Preve isn't design to be sporty sedan, unlike the GEN-2.
I'm not sure for your case but me as a 187cm, I feel quite comfortable with driver seat (lowest position) and passenger seat (hardly there anyway).

Seat mounted quite high should be able to fit laptop bag easily, no?

Preve CFE with chassis 23509 and above shall equip with the latest ECU/TCU from factory. Unless the sale dealer helped u to reflash before delivery. Else you will need to visit nearest appointed dealer for remap.

Rusty? All Preve.

Wax and Coat, possible.
Never polish a brand new car, unless being hit by some damage.
Polish will reduce the thickness of the clear coat, it will expose your car more to any exterior hazardous.

Wax is highly recommended, cheaper solution. With proper washing method, one wax layer applied should last 4 to 5 months.
Coating? Heard its good. very expensive somehow

Door visor will increase the noise, as higher wind turbulence due to increase in drag.

Added on December 28, 2012, 9:09 pmBAX 2 is never a performance tyre. It is a high treadwear tyre, last long tyre.
The dry/wet grip at high speed is

Added on December 28, 2012, 9:11 pmPlease do consider

Goodyear F1 Directional 5
Hankook V12
Neuton NT8000 (a member tested, much better than BAX2, just RM230 per piece)

These should be performance tyre below RM400, PS3 is above RM500 somehow...

Added on December 28, 2012, 9:12 pmGoodyear Asy 2 have no size for 16" tyre...
It only available for size of 17, 18 and 19.

Unless you upsize the rim, don't think you can try Asy2.

I'm considering F1D5 or Hankook V12 for my next upgrade.

Performance tyre won't be threadwear 360, traction just A anyway.
BAX2 is more on high treadwear tyre with a little bit of performance.

GT Radial BAX 2 - Tyrereview.co.uk
So far only 2 feedback from users but I do pretty much agreed with the performance of BAX2. High speed traction of dry/wet is normal, certainly not on the good side.

Anyway, enjoy the ride

4channels amp can come very cheap, get a used unit if you think a new one very expensive. Some of the local brand actually very good, just that because of less branding in it, it can come way cheaper than those expensive units.
Some of the HU with built-in amplifier, 50Wx4, which actually enough to drive some of the component speakers + subwoofer. You can go for active setup with some of the players around, Clarion CZ702A or Pioneer 80PRS.

For SQ, STP soundproof full package, a decent HU, good component speakers, a good 4 channels amp, active subwoofer or passive subwoofer (another 2 channels amp). Done

Common midbass that I know is 6", will require to drill some holes on the door panel to fit properly (dun think that will affect warranty, if it so, that's being too harsh).

that will be the 3-way speakers setup. I doubt many of us going that way yet.....
But that surely I want to try in the near future, either a digital processor to handle it or Pioneer P99 for active setup.

You can get it over here.

I doubt that many subwoofer (let alone active) is capable enough to output sound at 25hz-35hz range. Even those who able to sound good at the range of 40hz - 50hz are considered as very good.

You want to read a bit more in the link below.

I set my subwoofer to only play all the frequency at 63hz and below, so far serving me very well, bass very punchy and good. On SQ mode anyway.
FYI, I'm using a 10" active subwoofer.

Added on January 1, 2013, 6:04 pmPerhaps referring to service will do, or map the latest ECU/TCU mapping.

Your usual starting sequence are correct.

cz702a is a good HU with built-in crossover and time alignment. Read several good review online.

As compared to 80prs, it does somehow come with less adjustable EQ band, no 18db octave selectable slope but I must say cz702a is a great player. Much cheaper than 80prs.

A good tuner will bring out the best of cz702a/80prs
I will want to listen to cz702a one day soon.


G K Lai, I'm not sure how low frequency you want the bass to be but there always some trade off for more space though...
Small active sub won't work, get a big one. Something like mine, 10" active sub. It doesn't transfer bass to the whole car like my big subwoofer used to me but me and my passenger (when there is someone) can feel the more than enough bass whenever required. I'm more tune to SQ though

1. Never experience b4. No comment
2. Send back to service centre and check. Something to do with brake system (disc brake, brake pad, etc). Btw low speed or high speed jerking?
3. Hissing sound? Above 2k rpm or below 2k rpm? Its either CVT gearbox sound or turbocharger spooling sound for normal circumstances.
4. Go remap then
5. Do it again. When go for remap ECU/TCU, request for 10-points and 7-points recall inspection.

Join Prevoc.Org for the access to service bulletin. I will update the service update whenever necessary.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/preveownersclub/

Search for the nearest Proton Edar service centre nearby you.
http://proton-edar.com.my/Visit-Us/Service-Centres.aspx

1. ECS light will only shown up when it's in ACTION. Its never good for ESC to be in action anyway
2. Refer to service centre.
3. Visit PREVOC TT, let the members test for ya.

The price is below market price.
I would charge a minimum RM350 for spray painting, RM80 for panel knocking/repair and readjust.
