gen2 club forum in here

http://www.gen2club.com/forum/

Thanks mate... Anyway, this is the lowyat version!

G2C forum..... i dun see about MOD thread..... i see all about TT.... maybe i can't find or what...

there is a mod thread. u need to register yourself in the forum.

Actually some new cars like CIVIC 06 doesn't have this feature also...it can be added at a small cost..dun worry. Check the otehr thread

alrite den.. will register and have a look.... btw venux... did u piggyback ur ecu??

owner here

u sure 185km/h only? auto? mods?

mine auto still can reach 190+

btw, my alarm system got haywire. good thing i'm heading for a 15K service when it happens..

they changed the 'ATRS' ... ermm.. what is that? they said its electronic box.. ECU??

haizzz standard gen2 also can go 190 but sure take a distance before u can reach that speed lah... anyways eone i think they just change ur alarm lah... not ecu..

really jason? the trip meter does reset

reset?? u press the button also can reset... take out ur batery also can reset... anyway changing ecu is only done if u complain u got enjine problems or consumtion very high or something in the line of enjine problems... funny they wanna change ur ecu because u got alarm problems..

I think it's a new design for new upcoming cars - boot keyhole hacking is common here. So without it might be safer.


I'm sure when Gen2 is > 120kmph, the RPM is high enough to release Gen2 power. I'm just waiting 'navigator' and his friends to let me ride on a ECU tuned up Gen2 with a better torque on the low end.

low torque gives u headache (i drove sportcars), default setup is better for normal driving, want torque, floor the pedal

jason, maybe u r right , if ecu problem sure my car won't move

Me another Gen2 users here down south... My ride is still new with only 1802km travel and been on for only 39.xx hours.

I love the car for now and few of the problems that I face is sound issue, locking matters and also high fuel consumptions.

Until now, the SC still could not detect and eliminate the sounds which only occurs if the car is travelling below 40km/h. It don't really sounds good and quite dissapointing.

As for the performance, I really love it and so far, I oredy tapao Civic (dunno Vtec or not, I dun think so), Waja and some modified non-Turbo Wira... All makan nice nice no matter on the straight drag or winding road.

Somehow, unlike the Wiras, the car is quite high albeit the overall car is low and makes cornering a lil' worrying. But once u are used to it, you'll takes corner like a whiz......


Cheers

Hahaha, that i have to agree ... The car has quite a high bum as compared with the Wiras and Wajas though... But at least the bootspace is very roomy because of that!

Speaking of Gen2, that car smashed my personal topspeed record (previously 180kph) when i drove close to 190kph when on the way back from Kuantan using the East Coast Expressway... The feeling when the trachometer (is that the correct word?) hit 181kph onwards was like, wow!

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

yeap... thatz one thing i'm both love and amazed seeing that itz a hatchback...

fits my 21" tv nicely when moving to new house

bro eone,
i blip it can also fit one or two luggage besides ur 21"...

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!

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..

So how often should the alignment and balancing be done?

gen2 club website is down for 2 day

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

it has been from yest till 2day.. i haf a PM 2 b read.. he! he!

btw.. has any gen2 here modded wif either the drop in o the open pod air filter(K&N)?

K&N drop in here, what's up?

Me plan to get a drop in too...


care to advice if there's any changes in FC and performance especially pick-ups?

thanx in advance.

how much u got urs for? wat results do u get out from the k&n drop in? how to maintain the filter? is it a muz 2 buy along the cleaning thingy from k&n? he! he! too many Qs yarhh? soli arhh ]

btw r u drivin an auto?

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.

i will suggest every 5k 0r 10k ... my advise is try avoid those hard or 'tall' objek and hole on the road...

well, cheap things not good, good things not cheap... howver, itz hard to resist such an offer...

thanx for your answers... these makes me wanna get one asap.

Pipercross is also used by some. Cheaper than K&N.

does installing it will void car warranty?

No lah dun think so anyway mine is over warranty already.

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.

ahz... thatz a good idea u got there.

Me frens oso been doing so and he did ask me to do the same thing too.

recommended upgrades..... k&n drop-in and hotbit full exhausts.... really do better.....

don worry lah, air filter will not void waranty, but only got to tell them not to air gun the KnN, ortherwise

where r u plannin 2 get the k&n filter? cz a forummer in g2c said it's onli rm200 @ speedworks.. but seems 2 b tat speedworks gif variety of prices such as rm230 & more..

rcracer, the word responsive tat used does it mean tat u r drivin an auto gen2?

btw any1 know when is g2c forum is goinna ON back? it has been down for few days liao..

This post has been edited by mattchin: Jul 26 2006, 11:02 PM

i did mine at speedwork around... 250 like that if not mistaken...

sorry i forgot to answer that, no mine is MT but i personally know from other AT users that it improves their rides too.

hmmm.. ic ic.. i heard ppl said tat they r trying 2 transplant the airbox from waja campro into gen2.. heard of tat? the results came out quite good also.. but it's a bit costy.. rm500+...

gen2 website down for 3 days. anyone here know what is the problem??

seriously... me need 2 know liao... ultraman PMed me i think.. can't wait 2 read his PM..

This post has been edited by mattchin: Jul 27 2006, 12:59 AM

yeah i did, many looking for the airbox.

gen2 owner here...

Me in JB... where to get them?

The exhaust u mean, does it include extractor?


I'm planning to get them either next month or asap as long as my pocket are refill again.

I've too heard from some other users which mentioned that K&N replacement filter no matter they are local or imports... They really improve the responsiveness of their ride. It makes the driver happy. hehe





bro, care to elaborate more on the airbox. Why izzit so costly? and wat izzit like?

thanx.

dear all, We're having a test drive session for a tuned ECU Gen2's we have both autos and manual.

They're original car, just that the ECU is tuned by some talented Proton engineers.

PM me if interested

Full exhaust means everything from extractor,mid until muffler is changed.

The waja airbox is the one found on ALL waja's now irrespective whether the campro or the mitsu engines. Honestly i don't really know why they do it, because those looking for power go straight for open pod with 'anaconda'. The high price is i think the chop shops simply jack up the prices because of demand.

well, i've read alot abt the exhaust at the forum and I'm quite confuse to use which type of extractor. Some say 1-3,2-4 is good, some says 1-4,2-3 is good. I'm really confuse and been reading the same thread again and again to pick up something which I may have left out.

Aniwae, thanx for your answer. I shall go survey for prices once I got the $$.

hehe...

I do agree on the open pod but i understand open pod dun really perform well during hot weather and also when u're stuck in traffic standstill. Maybe this is why they dun go for this options.

yeah... i'm using bullet if not mistaken.. and mid muffler.... my rear are just the pipe.... and those guys in speedwork told me that.... only the extrator and pipe are made in here if not mistaken... everything else.. are made in australia...

if u do openpod with only full exhaust mod.... dun hope that u got improve pickup but u might get better at higher speed.... coz if u do openpod.. u need to mod few others things..... they quote me got full mod on cam pulley, dunno whether use emanage or unichip..... all together around 3.6k....

bro,
do u mean Hotbitz product?

yeah..

ic ic... u in JB too??

where can i get them in JB??

oic.. .all the while, i tot that open pod is good for improving the low torque/pickup of the car.

Yes it will do better but all u need is mod alot of thing.. not just an open pod and full exhaust is done..... need to change alot of thing.. do better den drop-in... i haven't think of do so much yet.. so i just use drop in only for now...

btw.. me in PJ.. not JB.. hehehe sorry..

well, using drop i is good for now for an average driver like me... after all, not so rich enuff to have so many modz in the car.

Yeap open pods that suck hot air are no good, that's why some use the Mugen airbox or fashion their own box with a CAI at the bumper,i'm sure you know lah performance fellas.

From my reading on the net 1-3,2-4 and 1-4,2-3 produce the same amount of power, the difference is how smooth that power is delivered. 1-4,2-3 like mine produces power over a wider range of RPMs, i get better torque from 2.5K rpm onwards. 1-3,2-4 instead will give a jump in power somewhere along the RPM range.

Think of a 2 cycliner engine, if you want smooth power you fire them one after another (ie. 1-4,2-3). If you want sudden burst of power you fire both cyclinders the same time (ie. 1-3,2-4). So there isn't one which is better than the other, is what you want.

Hi everybody!

Nice thread since i m a Gen-2 owner.Hehe...

I got my G2 last year Dec and so far i m quite satisfy wit the car.Well,i admit tat there are quite a lot of minor probs which keep coming back even it's fixed.Not to bash Proton,but i seriously hate them.This will be my last Proton.No offence yeah.Hehe..

Ok,my G2 specs:
1.6 Manual
Highline
Vigour Red

I wanted a Black colour but at the very last minute they told me no stock so i was forced to take the VR otherwise i need to wait for another 1 month.(After i waited 1 month+)Aihhh......But nvm le,VR oso ok lar.Hehe...

Anyway,nice 2 meet u all guys here.
Maybe we can hv a gathering soon.....

what is gen2 cylinder timing 1-4-2-3 or 1-3-2-4?? hmm wonder what happen to G2C webpage... till now still down also.... whats going on?? anyone with a clue to whats happening???

just now i went to check again..... if not mistaken..... gen2 are using hotbit for the device like SFAC..... cost me 1.8k... man.. no money leh..

edit: I found speedwork johor add and number... dunno still exits or not....

Hey mate, nice to see so many Gen2 owners here... At least we have a place to "meet" online, but what happened to the Gen2 Forums? Seems to be down...

i'm wondering when and where this session will be.. sounds interesting 2 me..

If they are really talented... y dun they tune the car b4 out in the market.... y after market only they come out solution???

i also headache choosing the right extractor between Wegow and Ranspeed.

What is the different between wegow and ranspeed?

which one perform better and low FC?

does ranspeed with marco midbox give more fuel economy driving than wegow?

it's wegow extractor sound more silence than ranspeed?

heard a lot about the bad ECU thingy... luckily mine is end of last year..

Bad ECU? Mine is the first batch and i never got it replaced. Has nice power actually.

hye guyz, gen-2 owner here...

gen-2 1.6 h-line auto (black)
august 2005

btw, i'm having a problem with my gen-2 since i first bought the car.. the belt that runs the power steering pump, alternator and all keeps giving out this screeching noise.. like when a belt is worn out..

so, i sent it to proton service centre in penang to have it checked, they found out that the belt tensioner bearing is faulty.. and they changed the whole thing which i had to wait for bout a week for the part to arrive from kl.. after fixing it, they found out that my power steering pump unit and radiator fan motor are also faulty, so i had to wait another week for them to arrive..

everything was ok, for bout 10 days or so.. the noise came back.. the tensioner is the culprit this time.. to add, some new probs..

1) my tail light blinks instead of my signals when i brake while i switch on my signal lights..
2) my front bumper just decided to no longer be a part of my car.. it fell off, while i was driving on the highway, not in a rally..
3) the gearbox just won't shift in "D", stuck in final gear and the light on the dash just blinks in "D"..

so, i went to proton again, left my car for a day to have them test drive it.. they called me the next day, saying that everything is ok now.. when i went to pick up my car, the sound is still there.. WHAT IS OK THEN??

oh yeah, they fixed my tail light, the socket melted.. my front bumper, the flimsy plastic bracket broke, replaced all of them.. gearbox, they reset my ECU, yes, there was a problem, somewhere..

i had to use my car and i was really bz, so i took it anyway.. and now, i'm doin the periodic service and told the proton centre to have their mechanic look at the belt.. and guess what they said..

they told me that they can't do anything bout that prob cos it's common in gen-2s.. so i told them, it's still under warranty, and the problem wasn't solved when i first brought my car to the service centre for my 1000km service.. they still say that they can't do anything bout it, and told me to send somewhere else to repair it.. WTF??

are they just trying to avoid me claiming my warranty?? what should i do?? i've already asked them to write me a letter saying that they can't fix the problem, even in my warranty period.. so with that, i hope i can bring this problem to the head office in kl..

any help from u guyz is greatly appreciated..

very true... in this senses where there's so many things are needed to give that lil' burst of torque, I dun think itz really worth it.

Especially in our country where itz basically a tropical weather, no matter how u CAI, the air still hot de... So go in oso hot air.

ahz... now i really understand. thanx mate. Now I know wat to choose. hehe

btw, like wat u said, the burst of power for the 1-3,2-4. Can we arrange for the "burst" at a certain band of rpm?


bro, welcome to this thread.

dun fret over such issues. all u gotta do is make a call to Proton HQ and report them of your encounters. After that, never never never never go back again unless u left ur wallet or handphone there.

Does you still having those problems on your car now? My suggestion to you is to wait for a while more so that when the G2C forum is up, you can go in and have a read on where's a good SC recommended by the PNG members.

Cheers.

yarhh...

wait for the g2c forum is up back... and u will find ur way 2 the solution..

G2C forum is still down? so jialat meh?

anyone knows when will it be up or watz the cause of it?

Dunno leh... Such a pity that the main G2 online hub is kaput for so many days...

I think it can be done but you need to have a custom made exhaust, it's done by adjusting the length of the primary collectors and the secondary collectors. Primary is the pipes connecting the 4 to 2 and secondary 2 to 1.

yeap... i wonder if there's any ready made ones.

From wat i understand, long primaries are good for pickups while long secondary are good for max speed.

iMo, gen2 is best with 6/4 ratio (primary:seconday) due to itz a high torque engine.

if wrong, please correct me.

thanx.

whats going on with g2c?? anyone contacted those admin peopole??

Yeah to make the best of our engine by right all the mods should be for high end but that makes daily driving very sluggish.

BTW the G2C forum might be in the process moving to a new server where only paid members have access.

oic... have u paid rcracer?? wow this is bad for those who have not paid... anyway i have so cant wait for it to be up and running...

HEHE not yet..

me no time to attend tt where got chance to pay wor... like this siao liao lor.

i think like this quite unfair lor... then those noobs who just wanna join G2c no chance to enter and mingle around ler.

You can bank in to theone's account IIANM, this one really no choice wan we can't keep on having a free forum right, bandwidth is expensive and with the village idiots who keep posting nonsense in their chat threads it runs out fast.

thatz true lar...

a good solution is restricted acess for those who are not paid lor.

woah... now g2c forum are not free for all edi??

yep... no more free....

anyway want to find out what is the part no for knn drop in filter for gen 2?

part no: 33-2539

Wah, looks like only this "mock-up" Gen2 Forums is what we have left... And i have not paid also, because i joined not too long ago actually (a week back)...

so how much is the fees like?

I think Rm50 per year.

No one interested? I tot some time ago there's some member over here keep on yanking for it?
