woah... mati la like this. rm 300 sure fly away one

what did u change / service?

this is synth or semi-synth oil?

i know you've gotta change the gasket, spark plugs, and the usual m-oil + oil filter. anything else for the 20k service?

i'm sending mine probably next week

mine's the same - except it only misbehaves during very hot weathered rain. hm...

today i just got my car serviced - 20k service

my god, u wouldn't believe how much the Proton SC wanna charge me

The complete package cost about RM 700+ which includes:

Semi-synth oil
oil filter
fuel filter
air filter
spark plugs
A/T fluid change
brake fluid change
power steering fluid change
x1r stupid thingy stuff
labor charge at rm120

i tried to do w/o the brake fluid, power steering fluid and x1-r stupid thingy but still got about RM 540+

since i'm a stingy guy, i opted to change only the necessary - semi synth oil, oil and air filter change and spark plugs. costed me about rm 230 w/ labor.

now, how the hell did some of u guys manage to get away with rm 300+ for a 20k service?

damn... servicing at nissan at toyota cost less than this.

anyway, as usual, good and friendly service from Proton SC.

oh, btw - don't skip the AT fluid change. my friendly mechanic told me my gear is a lil bit slow changing now (which i did notice a few months earlier) due to thickened oil. he recommends me to change them on the next service. there goes another 170+...

anyway, happy with my car. gonna send my car for service elsewhere once the warranty is over.

the new campro wins in every aspect - leather seats, ABS and EBD as standard is a HUGE PLUS

the only reason why 4G18P wins is because it's a proven engine.

i'd certainly go for the campro just becoz of the leather seats... (need at least 2k to convert my fabric ones to leather. damn, i love leather)

the ATF change is quite expensive lor. RM 160+ just for the oil

i tried to skip my 20k service, tapi nampaknya at 25k kena tukar jugak

the gear change is getting jerky. my mechanic says the oil viscosity too thick oledi. so need to change new one sudah. aiseh... duit duit

anyone converted their fabric seats to full leather seats?

no, i don't mean seat cover. a total strip-off from the old fabric and re-wrap it in nice and color matching leather. anyone?

damn jeles tgk waja baru with all the leather. my butts love leather

i get on average 16 ~ 18 sen per KM. that's in normal city driving, with auto tranny

if it's on highway, i can go as low as 13 sen per km - that is if speed is maintaned at 110km/h @ 2,500 rpm

oh, it's a mitsu engine btw. not campro

i guess everyone gets pretty much the same. around 16 - 20 sen per km with the 4G18P

any data on campro?

my mistake my mistake

it,s 100km/h at 2,500

110km/h is at 2,700rpm (about max torque i can get) on flat road

i get about 16 - 18 sen per KM on city driving

that's basesd on the current 1.92/L price

so, it should be about 10.7L/KM

and that's very light footed driving. no revs beyond 3,000rpm

what did u do? post some nude pictah?

looks like your exhaust pipe got hole or dented or damaged

go down and have a peek

the catalyst converter and the pipe line is put high up and makes the chassis vibrates

depends. if you have a cassette + cd changer deck, there's no aux input

if you have the newer cd player only, the aux input (via RCA) is at the back of the head unit. a few screws before you can pull out the HU. easy thing. even a noob like me can do it. i hooked up a headphone amp and my nano. sounds great.

obviously for better grip and traction

your foot won't slip when cornering, thus won't disturb your toe-heel technique

LOL!

i oso got this porb

esp when the car is parked in a veyr hot place, or when it's hot and it suddenly rains

the alarm went crazy for no reason, need to use manual key

i heard in WPC, it has got something to do with the wiring underneath the bonnet. i guess i'll let the SC check it for me during my next service

any pictures so i can DIY?

the campro and the mitsu 4g18p engine has vastly different characteristic, thus the 1.6A campro feels very very sluggish and reluctant

what is there to not like the grille? the design is a copy from VW passat

or perhaps you wanna change to the old design? i'll be happy to swap my hood + frony bumper with yuo. i rally like the passat-ness of the new front end

itu namanya ENGINE BRAKING

when it sense you're going downhill, the car will slow down by itseld by revving up the engine, changing to a lower gear, so you won't feel the jerk, and instead get a continuous slow down

waja's mitsu tranny is mitsubishi famous INVECS II transmission system (IIRC)

it has almost evertyhing you can get in a modern car tranny, except for variable / continuos transmission and no 7-speed
