In order to get original stuff, I got my lube from Castrol station, all other parts from SC. Then go to my usual mechanic, change oil at RM15. Others not yet try. I'm still thinking of going to SC for my 60K parts change to ensure original parts and ask them to do point check on car.

This is deep man....deep..

I'm more into stable relationship. The one that come with car tak ngam, so look for one ngam one, might not be the best but satisfactory is the key word here..

Going elsewhere means voiding warranty for other parts. For Proton, you REALLY need to maintain warranty.

In case for the unlearn newbie, not using SC lube "might" void the engine warranty (so far never heard of anyone actually voiding that). However if you service in SC, all other warranty still stands, including wiring, defect, etc.

Once you service outside, SC got the right to void ALL warranty if they want. Trust me, you'll need them.

So far, no re-occurrence although rpm seems to drop faster than I remember previously, the moment I release the accelerator. I don't know if its the gearbox or ratio problem or there is also a possibility my right leg somehow "reset" and I lost the driving style ala acceleration style earlier (I might be getting older, it happened sometimes when I suddenly forgot my "correct" seating position and sometimes have to suffer shoulder pain before "relearning" my seating position.

I'm getting used to the new fast rpm drop and timed it so it does not "pull back" the engine when I let go of the accelerator. Engine and acceleration seems to be going strong ala LCP strength, so I'll live with it. Still have a doubt on possible gear box issue or throttle body dirty or something. Most probably will get it clean after 60K mileage or so (now 57K).

Stock rear speaker ok what. Cannot feel any difference when compared with Civic and City also. Obviously young chap like you guys have much finer hearing....

Call me ah pek.....although many ppl still think I'm mid thirties...

Oooi....I'll let you that that I was once call mister handsome...

From what I see last times, its the door hinge or something that they adjust, not the catch plate.

Ha....so how many seller did you call everyday..

Persona stable when drive fast?.....No its not. At 500km/h, it will break to pieces. No recommended to drive fast.

If drive slow slow below 200km/h, nothing beats its stability in its class. So its not really suitable to go fast fast...

I no drive fast wan...ah pek mah...only 120-130km/h on highway back to Klang. Way below 200km/h. Oh btw, gua punya kereta kenot reach 200km/h even if I got the balls to.

Tipu...engine gonna die by then....walking also faster than that...

How many girls you intend to hide in there?

Ini cannot help. Persona is a dated car. Going the dinosaur path. If not for proton re-releasing facelift after facelift, ini thread would not exist anymore.

Unfortunately based on current economic condition plus gua punya new economic condition, this dinosaur ride gonna stay with me until I become dinosaur also...

Upsizing to 17" is not really a good idea. There's quite a few fella done that and regretted. Downsized it back to 16". So if you really want upsize, 16" is the one to go for. 17" is too heavy for PE campro engine. Whats the point if it looks good BUT vroom vroom with ppl, then ppl realise you accelerate slower than kura-kura.

I, ah pek, use stock size, optimum comfortable vs handling for daily ride. All my rides use stock size or common size. Personally I don't like to lower the height of tyres. Impact on the comfortability but increment of handling not on par.

Personally, I won't recommend that as it has exceeded 3% diameter difference. Might impact your braking system.

If at least half of your travel is on highway, then PE is ok. However if most of your travel is in the City, prepare of much higher FC. I would go for Myvi or any other less "weighty" car instead. That is unless you're looking for a car with independent boot space whereelse Myvi tak dak butt...

140km/h usually will be around 3.5 to 3.8rpm for auto. Itu orang cakap 180km/h at 4K rpm tipu punya...at least for our auto. I usually go 130-140 at night drive after working overtime.
