Yups... I can carry two Fitness First bags, a laptop bag, a large tool box, as well as a power drill set in there, and still have room for a briefcase... Good space planning by Proton for a hatch!

QUOTE(luckyseng0ku @ Jul 25 2006, 12:02 PM) the fastest record i had with my 1.3 gen 2 was 140kmph on kesas highway, between shah alam and subang  and the car was shaking like... my friend was hugging the the door and handle lol. but it was fun  bro obviously u need to do alignment and balancing maybe camber adjustment... i go 180 also feel like nothing.. but i often check the alignment and balancing of the tyres and also the camber..

yeah, how often and WHERE can i check the balancing and alignment?
just got my own car for like 4 months, still new in everything. recently found out that i should put the gear to N when i'm pressing brake + idle for some time in traffic jam, instead of keeping it at D <.<

haha i always put it on N in traffic jams and waiting for the light to turn green.
i like the fact that the drivetrain is not connected to the tyres and forcing them to move

I got mine second hand 6 months usage 15K km for RM150 works as well as brand new. New ones about RM230 depending on where you ask. Forum was selling 180 on group purchase but dunno whether fake or not seems too cheap to me. The cleaning kit is separate RM70 i think, the box recommends service after 160K km only but i think earlier is better. Results much more responsive than stock filter, not so choked up anymore, pick up also better.Louder induction sound. Works even better with the large snorkel too. FC remains the same if you drive the same. A worthy upgrade.

wat is worried is those buggers at the SC use the drop ins as a way to push away their responsibilities when comes to claiming anything...

Then do this, replace back to stock filter when send for servicing or claiming,kautim. Since the stock filter is only used then, it will remaing always clean so no need to change lor.
