I also got mine from Vincent earlier this month~~seems like good business for Vincent after all~~

But..u sure it has hill hold assist? i dont think so...even the Preve LE doesn't have it~~
i felt the car roll back when stop at uphill~~ had to use handbrake~~

finally someone confirmed with me....the CVT whining sound only comes after 3500 RPM at lower gears~~

Technically i think there are not much difference sinz even ANCAP comes with VT3+..
for the exterior...you can buy the R3 bodykit of Preve LE~~recently saw another dude with a blue R3 bodykit...looks awesome~~
for the interior....if u are really fond of leather...you can ask for seats wrapping service...
saw it once on the automotive forum before..not cheap~~

huh??airbag should be outside of the seats lah~~~

haha are there airbags inside the seat?

The seats will jus explode~~

No turbo even if u plug in race chip pro super extra ultimate godlike..also no use lah~~

but the item is not recommended by the Punch Powertrain guy from a reply asked by our forumer...
he said the campro engine originally not designed for turbo and the gearbox can only take 230Nm torque max...but the race chip boost the torque to 240Nm~~

What is your BOT project about?

anyway for those who don't know what we are talking about, please refer to the link as follows:-

Ohh finally someone here installed race chip~~

hows the feel? serious improvement? care to give us a detail user review in terms of performance, FC and feeling? how much is the price anyway? RM1,850?

As for the warranty i think u can remove the racechip before going to claim warranty..it is untraceable...

Thanks for the feedback. Yea only engine with turbo can install race chip or else no effect...

Wahh the fuel consumption so drastic improved kah...i find it a bit hard to believe...

just plug and play and don't need to tune? or require the seller to tune for you periodically?

Just wondering will it harm the engine~~

ur car is new? new car engine tends to have much higher friction when it is new...this is normally due to micro imperfection of the engine~~ so it need sometime to "wear in / break in / run in" ...
some said 10,000KM....some say 5,000KM~~depending on the engine... (google it)

so after 1,000KM oil change, try to hantam you engine a bit to make sure the engine blocks sits correctly in place and reduce friction~~~

full tank (50L) for 400km in city drive with new engine wasn't that bad in my opinion...try avoid the jam and go out of town...at 100KM/hr can achieve 6.6L/100KM based on the instant FC calculation displayed~~

Anyway...dont compare Preve CFE's FC with normal 1.6 engine car~~the FC should be comparable to 2.0 car especially when u are running in city constant stop and go situation~~

How long it took you to update the table >.<
any special software?

so u have the EVP~~?

I seriously dun agree adding additional 3 to 4 PSI to the tyre pressure~~
that is some serious over inflattion..danger when driving in wet or high speed condition as the grip is lost~~

the theory is that if u under inflate your tyre it will become so gripy that it results in slower car and waste fuel consumption...but if you over inflate it~~the tyre will not be in full contact of the surface and you have lost grip~~which it will also affect in Fuel Consumption AND will result in dangerous driving condition..again especially in wet or high speed condition~~

check out you tube for the "mythbuster series" they have tried all 3 conditions and concluded the above statement~~

the optimum pressure when cold is 220kPa (around 31 psi??) for the front and 210kPa (around 30 psi??) for the rear~~refer to page 166 of your manual [english] it is CLEARLY stated there~~

therefore if u pump with hot tyre it should be fine for you to add 5~10kPa for both front and back..


oh ya for the new cars...please make sure you check your tyre pressure...as they are not sure how long the car will stay in their storage..to avoid flat tyre..the manufacturer normally will inject more air inside...go ahead and try adjust the pressure to the optimum level...you will then feel the true power and stability

Still i think advising people to go for 34 or 35 PSi for their tyre under ANY conditions is not wise~~
the load of extra weight is more likely to be absorb by an ABSORBER rather than the tyre~~

why put yourself in danger dude....no offence~~

hahaha now Preve become a pick up truck~~
What i am trying to say is~~you dont always go for super heavy load for your car~~under a normal situation you might just wanna go for the optimum~~

Congratulations~~
i think this is quite a nice color as well~~
wonder why people said it looks sissy~
i think the car will looks awesome with the R3 Body kit~~

it is kinda confirmed that the latest ANCAP car with EVP comes with the VT3+

Hmm i am also curious about the "Turbo" and "Handling by Lotus" emblem~~
i saw a few car with it recently...i thought the buyer slams on the car themselves..
until i saw ur pic here~~mine also just written CFE~~

Nice BK from Dreamedge~~wonder how much it cost with the lamp there~~

haha business is good there bro~~

Congratulation...

It should be TIP mode according to the manual...i think it is a preset to protect the gearbox~~quite unlikely u can change that~~anyway..i found it quite useful man...even if u rev too kuat under tip mode..it will auto shift up for u also...try rev to >6000 RPM and u will see the auto shift~~

..dun understand what u mean on the 2nd point~~
