those who wanna change to better spark plugs make sure u change ur cables 2... then only can feel the difference...change to brisk tri core cables then u can c ur fc will go down and more power...

if u change to drop in filter better change ur snorkel to the large one for the full effect...

but very hard to look for the large snokel dude..

how much do they cost?

180 bro... but i think its a worthy investment...as i can feel the difference..

RM180 for the cables? wat brand?

afaik, our stock plug cable are good enuff liao leh.

yarh man... ppl in g2c said that out current plug cables r better than those used in r3 (if i'm not wrong).. r3 is using some other brand larhh but i bet it won't b those cheap 1s... btw.. wat brand is the rm180?

haizz u all never read my first posting??? Brisk tri core- yellow and red.

sorry.. didn't realise that it is the brand..
btw.. some1 is selling similiar 2 it in garage sales.. i'll try 2 locate the thread.. but then it ain't brisk..

Jason,
i tot the word Brisk, is used to describe the cable... sorry ahz...

hi guys, i m planning to get a new car,in 1 or 2 mth time, a gen2 infact
but everyone is telling me the engine gives lots of problem, the car in 1 yr time will give even more problem,the back hatch leak...etc etc...

you guys owns a gen2, how true is all this stuff?thanks!!

Dunno about this... I have been driving my Gen2 for the past two years and the only problems i am currently facing are with the driver's window as well as a super-cold aircond (good and bad actually! )... Another grouse was the lack of an auto-lock feature (e.g. doors lock when the brake pedal is stepped), although i have got that rectified...

Otherwise I've got not many complaints about this modding-friendly car!

driver window+door lock problem are quite normal with proton cars i accepted it as a norm for my old wira hehe.
ahh~ sure hope those stuff i heard from my frds are exaggerated stories

the engine is fine as it is and the hatch is no more leaking as in the earlier batch. the car is fine but a lil teething issue here n there which might create some hiccups for u while enjoying ur new car.

btw, dun complain abt the fc... the engine compensate u with a performance engine at the top end which u'll find urself hunger for it again and again.

other than that, i'm happy with my gen2... it looks great and does makes head turns once a while.

cheers.

u can re-read all of 'em in this thread.. o u can even read it at gen2club.com.. filthy of 'em there.. but the best of this car is the handling.. i would say it's even better than a toyota altis cz i haf 1 @ home.. the worst of this car is fuel consumption..

gen 2 1.6 (as said by forummers) => Full Tank (RM70+) gives u a mileage of 350km+- while
altis 1.6 is rm70 gives u around 500km-

wif gen2.. u can kill corners.. syok!!

True true... I love the handling of my Gen2 when taking corners... The feeling is wonderful!

And i forgot to mention the FC... I filled up a full tank of around RM83 last sunday and today, i still have 1/2 tank to go... Btw, i don't go driving around like a tortoise most of the time, i tend to speed up to even as high as 120kph when i feel the adrenalin rush coming... RM83 of fuel is almost equivalent to around 450+km of driving actually, still far lower than a Toyota Altis though...

Lotus designed ok... of coz itz good.

whacked toyota, nissan, mazda, honda and Proton itself on corners... this cars really shines in bends... further handling mods for this baby and it fly effortlessly in bends.

cheers.

Hehehe, my location in SS2 is full of bends... This car can really turn the tight corners without having to jut dangerously into the lane of an oncoming car...

In fact, just 50m from my house is already a sharp corner!

yeah the handling is superb and ur friends are talking bull sh** about the enjine... if they say got problems with the fittings and quality of the plastics then yes...

regarding the plug cables i have seen the thread in the garage sales section and i have pm the guy ... he claims that the cables are better then brisk...hahaha anyway its rm119 only... but next time when i go to penang i will look for this guy as he as offered to demo to me buy letting me use his product and give feedback whether its better then brisk. anyway i still stick to brisk...for a cheaper alternative i would suggest using his product if ur using iridium plugs... if not just stick to the normal plug cables.

not many knows abt the Gen2 as most of them has this sceptism that this is a lousy car just becoz they heard from frens and relative...

do justice to this car, go try it out and you'll know abt the car itself... Nothing in this world is perfect...

As for the plug cable, will only try out if given a free demo on my car... But then, normally, the price would suggest itz quality, no?
