Hi fellow neo owners, I would appreciate your advise regarding misaligned front bonnet and rear boot. Has anybody faced this issues before regarding the satria neo cps?

If i go to any SC (authorized) would they be able to solve/replace the following misaligned items? Also, the stock air intake box seems to be rubbing against the hood which has cause some scratches towards it...sigh.

PS: Car is totally new and stock

Hi guys, was wondering would there be any TT for this club? As i have checked the fb groups but seems to be inactive already

I reckon we should have a neo TT to keep the spirit alive? since I guess there aren't any active neo clubs around anymore..

Nice fc you have there. Have you tried doing 100% city driving? Cause right now im facing 7.0L/100km or roughly 380km +- per full tank

Btw, is any members here facing issues with the front strut bar where it is rubbing against the intake snorkel or bonnet for cps engine?

Is there any ways to rectify it?

Hey, im using the Ultra racing CPS model. Apparently the top of the bar is touching the bonnet while the thin part is slightly touching the intake snorkel.

Guess Im just gonna remove it, fedup of the sound.

how can it be bend..are you sure still got space between snorkel and bar? mine is like ngam ngam only.

and yes...the top that touches the hood fabric cover is creating the rubbing sound..

does yours produce any rubbing sound when it hits the hood fabric cover?

Sounds like a plan. Any more members wanna join in keeping the neo spirit high? 😁

Ahh I see. Cause I've seen a few neo cps have the scrubbing issues like mine. Probably is manufacturing tolerances that causes it.

I plan to use the non cps intake snorkel and fit the older strut bar instead.

Hey is your 205/45r16 on stock suspension? Because I plan to change to this size but I'm afraid of the larger wheel gap.

Ahh r3 springs..won't your oem absorbers worn faster on r3 springs?

guess I'll stick to 195/50/16 atm then..dont want the weird wheel gap or probably use r3 springs along with this size lol

Hmm, what if I pair R3 springs together with the oem tire size 195/50R16, do you think it will scrub fender?

And currently on stock suspension, my rear (2 finger) as compared to my front (2.5 finger). Weird setup by Proton

Hey there, so meaning to say there will be an additional wheel gap of 5mm for rear and front after changing to 205/45R16?

5mm would be equivalent to half finger right. Because I feel the ride is quite high on 195/50R16 thats why was wondering whether to pair it with R3 springs.

Yeap mine is half finger for 5mm lol. Hopefully the wheel gap wont be too obvious if I put that size la

I was thinking of putting the campro snorkel too but needa find a good mechanic to fix it cause there's a hole below at the old snorkel where it'll create a vaccum loss something like that.

Heard there's performance increase and fc reduce right

For the bottom hole, what do you mean by plug off ? (lets say if i dont want to use the drain water hose method).

Wont plugging off the bottom hole create another hole? Btw, any differences after you install the non-cps snorkel?

Yes, im referring to that bottom hole. What do you mean by plug off and how does it differs from putting a drain hose.

If i dont touch that hole does the snorkel still work efficiently? cause i feel like installing it on my cps but i scared got negative effect if never install properly.

Paiseh keep asking you lol

I did not use the FSB on my CPS because it is rubbing against my hood insulator and the intake snorkel...you can try and see if it happens the same to yours

Right and is it possible for me to ignore the L shape tube whereby I just leave it there as it is.

And do you mind sharing what are the feedback from using the non-cps snorkel? any difference to your car?

I heard it improves FC and high rev too. If you realize, the lotus and r3 rs edition uses cps snorkel while mss track r3 version using non-cps snorkel.

It would make me believe that the cps-snorkel actually is more for city drive (low-end torque) and vice-versa.

Why not send to proton and check? at least its OEM lol.

Something like this

That is why I'm in dilemma whether to change to 205/45R16 or stick to 195/50R16 on stock suspension. Really afraid that the wheelgap will be more noticeable for 205/45R16

Please dont tell me 3 fingers in front and 2.5 fingers behind? Very noticeable as compared to 195/50R16?

But i bet the handling is way better than stock size eh.

I see AD08R there 15" for neo is gooding, better acceleration & handling.

I just feel that 195/50R16 the ride height is quite high. Planning to pair with sport springs If i were to stay on with this size but dono will scrub fender anot.

Kyb RS Pro? Hows the feedback btw
