thanx for the correction...


thanx for the guide, termigoni.... will go scouting around.

as for the recovery, u mean a simple counter-steer will help recover the car back to the track??

i like the way u say the words in bold...

Guys,
another batch of K&N group purchase is on now!! Dun miss the train... Only RM180 each!!

lemme know if u guys interested.

haha.. glad u liked it.. still havin headaches with my car..

as for the counter-steer, u need to know the timing of the handbrake, angle of the turn and speed.. a simple turn of the steering of one hand is juz enough to bring the car back into its intended heading while stomping on the accelerator to pull the car out from the drift..

mind to elaborate on the problem with ur car?? and ur location as well.

Or u can refer to the G2Club forum on ur issue... Join the club as well.

i will.. thanx..

as for my prob, http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...60#entry7934385

so bro.. ur car got any better? g2c's recomend a workshop called hijawan in batu pahat.. maybe u can gif a try if ur car is still givin prob..

anyway.. i heard a lot of ppl complaining for the black highline version.. such as door not properly allignned, car key allarm button, pinging sound and so on... and of course not 2 forget the f*cking power window..

the car too high for them to install the car's component properly during the production line... thus itz call "HIGHLINE" and comes with those "extra features"...

U dun pay extra for nothing, u know...

yeah... their IQ and EQ also low.. so the results of highline will become lowline.. ha! ha!

Bro Termignoni...
According to the forum, there's a Service Centre at Section 13, P. Jaya which has received some well comment in the forum.

You might want to go there and let them check on your issue...

hope this helps...

i'm already getting those probs.. doors hard to open/close (reason by my service centre, it's bcos it's still new so the 'getah pintu masih tebal'), alarm remote hard to arm/disarm alarm (reason by my service centre, it's bcos of my dark tint).. rattle sound from the back (i think it's the wiper or the boot itself), another one comes from the backseat headrest.. and, my power windows are already making sound like it's gonna 'patah' soon..

bro, i'm from penang and my service history is already keyed into their database... can i switch service centres? the service centre u mentioned is in PJ which is quite far from me.. futhermore, i like to be there when they 'operate' on my car.. but thanx a lot for the info, i'll take it into consideration..

will dark tint affect the arm and disarm of alarm? my fren is driving the midnite black hline.. he has the same prob.. but all done @ the service centre liao.. but regarding about the sound.. not sure..
as i know when i seated into his car.. the car is quite quiet also.. no rattling sound @ all..

sure u can service ur car @ anywhere inside m'sia.. u can even bring it back to the main SC @ shah alam (if i'm not wrong about tat place).. can also complaint that ur current SC has not enought knowledge.. if it is..

juz 4 ur info, my fren who works as a service attendance for proton edar SC said proton nowadays is focusing on the car complaints so they are giving a nice service rather than stupid irritating pushing away complaints.

shackks, where the group buy for the KNN? can help me purchase it?

aiya, all this talk about braking making me worried, mine got spongy eversince I did that ABS test when I first got the car but never worried too much about it until now..

oh ya, previously my FC is 9.9l/100km, last week I pumped a full tank of Vpower and now resume back Super (green), happy to report FC down to 9.6l/100km

the FC reader ain't 100% accurate..

There is some debate over whether or not front wheel drive (FWD) vehicles can drift, which is often accompanied by the false notion that anything done to make the rear wheels "slide" automatically qualifies as a drift. In hindsight, FWD cars are not able to carry out a drift as a drift is often controlled by applying power to the rear wheels - which FWDs are inherently unable to do. A simple source for this claim is the restriction D1GP applies, wherein FWDs do not qualify for entrance into the event.

Alright, I wouldnt know that we have G2 club in lowyat.

Since it is , I would like to summarize up my feeling for havng this baby.

Acquired since May 2005, G2 1.6 grey without spoiler

Pro:-
Nice car, good handling
Engine sound nice and perfect, no flaw until now

cons:-
power responsive not so sensitive
max torque 3.5K rpm
Fu*King accesories such as car doors, dashboard, windows and etc.
Should sack all those bad accesories vendor.


Share some of my experience
1. power window failure
2. door lock failure
The above was fixed. , TWICED, lazy to goto SC again, fed up with them and long wait although no customer.

3. Muffler ---- shattering
4. alarm - on and off (wef this month) due to door is not align and the sensor for the door on off on off.
5. air cond not cold - where is the previous PROTON reputation, [everything is not OK except the air cond is cold enough - Iswara & Wira]
6. door hard to open ---> Please learn from toyota
7. Why no carpet
8. The colour of the seats - easily stain


Response to previous
The FC will come down after 15000km, no worry about that, but servicing for 20000km is around RM400+, please bear in mind

welcome,
and sorry to hear about your sorrows owning a gen2

but just wanna point out that some of your problem that keeps me thinking a bit...
1. power window... Proton ma... heehee
2. door lock failure.... maybe due to problem no4. ...
3. muffler shattering.... first time hearing, go back and complain, maybe the rubber mounting
4. doors not alighned.... ususal la. usually ppl will ask their sc to align the doors once a year...
5. air cond not cold... mine is cold... hmmmmm
6. door hard to open.... has been fixed by proton earlier this year... so those with late 2005/2006 no problem already.....
7. no carpet? why? all MUST HAVE CARPET?
8. seats easy stain... yes a problem, change leather seats.... heehee

20K km is abt there la, major service, parts like gearbox oil, coolant, brake fluids etc will cost abt 200+ with labour, and add another 100+ for normal sevice... should be ard there la.

cheers

hey bro, is that for the auto transmission?

bro wufei,

since u r disatisfied about the responsive of campro, y not try out the waja campro air intake system? forummers in g2c found it more responsive.. and some even say better than k&n drop in..

yup, auto 1.6. I just clocked in total RM70 for 343.5km yesterday on vpower

ah yes! guys can anyone help me explain how does this airbox work? I was at some kedai potong earlier this week and I saw some kaput waja so I thought why not stop and ask the shop for this thing and the guy started talking loads of dunno what saying inside got use different filter la, mesh la and the whole thing is just a box la is there a "mechanic" term for the name? like engine oil becomes minyak hitam, like that.

i think this down to the dealer problem already...

update (missing post)

after coming back from the MME race earlier I took the road heading through Dengkil and Putrajaya and come out at USJ and now my FC is reading even better! take note the road I took isn't highway so I didn't speed, top out also 120km/h



even if it's not accurate, last week 9.9l and today's 9.4l must be some kind of difference at very least!
