QUOTE(mengsuan @ Mar 25 2014, 01:19 AM) Not sure if the SA just get the newer ANCAP batch, add skirting, change rim and seat. because dealers would buy and then keep it in their inventory. Once the dealer signed the car receiving, it is off proton's hand.If one goes to CoSE to enquire to purchase Preve LE, Proton will say there's no more. Go to outside SA, somehow there always is some. |

QUOTE(fix24311 @ Mar 25 2014, 10:27 PM) With regards to hdbjhn2, your comment looks like I am reading a programming language one bottle is enough... actually, don't even need to pour in one whole bottle. best if puured in between 3.7-3.8L.Syn 5000 is RM250 a bottle...plus that with labor, draing plug, gasket etc... [WTA] one bottle 4L is enough for the engine or we need 5L? |

QUOTE(terryble @ Apr 1 2014, 10:44 PM) haha i am not an anti salesman either...but below are one of the statement of the user... based on the two highlighted posts in red;vr2turbo: You ask me ah? I am not an expert leh, so many other sifus around..... blush.gif As far as I know you may feel smoother acceleration but whether harmful or not you have to find out, but I can contribute the following story. My mechanic's brother is a technical guy, so following the same theory, he modified and made a module sort of like the one shown to increase the spark. Yes, according to him smoother acceleration, but he melted his spark plugs after running a few km only.....Maybe he over did it, I am not sure, but he took it out and replace the spark plugs..... biggrin.gif Anyway, there are also theory that mention bigger spark not necessary will complete the burning of the air fuel ratio in the combustion chamber.... sad.gif original source same as posted on the above...just dunno what his brother modded~~ SOURCE CLICK HERE Anyway im no expert or engineer~~ what i "heard" is mostly based on what i "read" in this forum (or zerotohundred)~~i think the user who complain (not the above) the product ultimately change his plugs and moved on~~dunno if there are further feedback from him... as far as i know...car manufacturers take power boosting technology and fuel consumption saving technology very seriously... if his product is great~~it could be included in our cars of the future 1) the user already states that the spark plug melted due to his own modified module which is similar(replicated) to the one shown (assuming it is Firestorm). Just because his own module failed, that doesn't mean Firestorm will do the same. If that is the case, then by now, i will have 252 cases of melted spark plugs, excluding my car and I won't have the shiny spark plugs to be shown to you at the post above. 2) yes, that theory is correct. In a normal car, which is tuned to burn rich, it will burn off lets say, 90% of the fuel injected into the combustion chamber. Adding in Firestorm will enable the burning of fuel to be a bit more efficient, around 92-94%. It will not burn off the mixture 100%. |

Worse still, engine cover and air intake had a very shoddy paint job right right right. This post has been edited by V12Kompressor: Apr 5 2014, 06:04 PM |

QUOTE(cts0418 @ Apr 5 2014, 07:44 PM) Sorry if this is repeated, doesn't seem to find the answer. if you cant hear any whining sound at speed below 80kph, then high chances you are in a preve with VT3+How to check whether the car is using the new gearbox? From which batch on the car is using new gearbox? What are the improvement? The transition from VT3 to VT3+ starts from the ANCAP version (6 airbags). So if your preve has 6 airbags, high chances it comes with Vt3+ also. |

QUOTE(DesmondYow @ Apr 18 2014, 12:39 AM) not necessary. ANCAP model means the model of preve that is specced to achieve the 5 star Aussie NCAP assessment program. It has 6 airbags and ESC as standard. Both Premium and Executive have them. |
