No need to be alarmed. Some other cars also have it. Dunno what it is for, though.(The white part is an aftermarket strut bar)

QUOTE(mengsuan @ Jan 30 2014, 03:25 PM) I actually feel very happy with current gearbox. I can tell you that I hated CVT before buying Preve, I have bad impression towards it. I became to love it after driving it. I still remember that TT (I think you were testing driving my 6-spd piece-of-crap?) where you expressed interest in the Preve but was so put off by the CVT In a ironic twist, after test-sitting in your Preve LE with the new VT3+, it has rekindled my desire for the Preve/Suprima |

QUOTE(terryble @ Jan 31 2014, 08:05 PM) If u actually fast forward to 7.40 of the video i attached..they actually ALSO TRIED DROP IN FILTER and shows that it has no overall improvement QUOTE(fix24311 @ Jan 31 2014, 08:08 PM) oh, excuse me. online thru hp, can't play the video at the time what's the difference between oiled drop in filter and not oiled drop in filter? it seems they tested these two apart from normal paper filter QUOTE(davidlow7 @ Jan 31 2014, 08:22 PM) To me those filters are just gimmicks.... If it does increase horsepower, it comes with a cost.... Drop-in filters don't increase power or the increase is negligible. But in my experience it does shift the powerband to lower RPMs, ie: max hp is still the same (or even decreased), but the torque graph may be slightly different.Stick to stock filters have been good to me all these while without any problem That means your hp decreased, but you get more usable torque sooner. In the case of the CFE which develops max torque at 2k RPM, I suppose it is not needed. |

QUOTE(darkavenger @ Feb 3 2014, 05:33 PM) Not neccesarily.But if you just started working with an entry level salary with no credit record (credit cards etc.), then yes they might ask for guarantor as they have no idea of your ability to repay the loan. Having a credit card that you repay on time actually helps you secure a loan than NOT having any credit cards. This post has been edited by dares: Feb 3 2014, 05:40 PM |

QUOTE(kombatX @ Feb 4 2014, 09:39 AM) just now my driver side window gone insane. went up and down, up and down when i try to close the window... this is the 1st time it refuse to close... 2 weeks ago my trunk lid suddently pops up in the middle of 135++kmj... The windows issue I blieve is due to the anti pinch mechanism, it wrongly detected something in the way of the closing windows, maybe a warped rubber lining? Just complain to SC.The bootlid pop up thing is the aerodynamic auto-retractable spoiler like those in Porsches where the spoiler automatically deploys when you reach certain speed......ok just joking Its the misaligned bootlatch that causes it, you can try adjusting the bootlatch yourself or send it to SC. |

QUOTE(SothysSaleShop @ Feb 9 2014, 05:25 PM) btw what does EVP stands for? EVP = electronic vacuum pump. Basically it generates the vacuum for the brakes instead of using the engine.I hear nothing coming from the back except wife asking me to slow down from testing the car's power When starting your car, try pressing the engine start button with out pressing the brakes first (don't start the engine). See if you can hear a buzzing sound from the back seat. |

QUOTE(SothysSaleShop @ Feb 9 2014, 07:14 PM) Thanks ! it makes sense that Proton would insulate that noise in the Preve. In the Saga and Maivee it's quite noticeable. Thanks again for checking This post has been edited by dares: Feb 9 2014, 07:35 PM |

QUOTE(lol~ @ Feb 9 2014, 10:47 PM) Hi,just wanna share some experience driving preve.i went to cameron highland yesterday.i used tapah exit cause i wanna test its handling and it is quite good.quite impressive too. I went to few strawberry farm and this one farm near the brincang town got high level road like hill (Around 48°-55° angle).what really frustrated me was the car dont have the power to go up that hill. I even used S mode and step the paddle untill floor. And worse part is it stop at the middle of the hill road Lemme guess, the Big Red Strawberry farm?I really scare that time.i even got some problem climbing up to my apartment parking where i stay (i stay at crown imperial court behind balai bomba).if some of u know that place,u know how high that road is. I wanna ask,is there anyone here had the same exp as i did?i just wanna know whether the problem is coming from preve or just my preve.its the new 2013 model non cfe. that place really epic, if you think the uphill at the entrance is steep, wait til you see the downhill route going out the farm. Fcking scary that place, I've seen other cars stuck at the uphill climb because not enough power, the only way is to carry speed and momentum from the flatter parts of the road all the way up the top. |

QUOTE(fix24311 @ Feb 11 2014, 11:41 PM) The magnetrap magnets are too weak to work. If really want a magnet that works, put a harddisk magnet on your filter, those confirm powerful.You don't see other manufacturers like Toyota, VW, Ford etc. promoting magnetrap, simply because it is less than useful for it's purpose. |

QUOTE(theonlyvin @ Feb 12 2014, 12:07 AM) oh ya, that day i ask them to help me reflash ECU/TCU, but at last what i get is clutch adaption, ape tu yea? Clutch adaptation is basically "teaching" the TCU how to operate the clutch efficiently and smoothly.I did read before, but cant find back d...they did not explain to me also... |

QUOTE(V12Kompressor @ Feb 12 2014, 01:26 AM) see alone not sufficient.... have to count the number of teeth on the final ratio also. VT3+ has lesser "teeth" than normal VT3. QUOTE(terryble @ Feb 12 2014, 10:52 AM) Nolah i thought VT3+ has MORE teeth to improve the overall smoothness instead of less that result in more jerking problem at lower gear? In the email he only said different number of teeth, didn't tell me more or less teeth though QUOTE(hong3831 @ Feb 12 2014, 10:25 AM) Manade |
