hi guys, hope you dont mind me joining in also, just got my car 2 months back and it's been eating up my pocket eversince wanna ask you guys out there is it normal for the KM left meter to suddenly drop very rapidly after below 100? because like when at 70, every 100m the thing drop 1km! my last service (5000km) I sent and the Proton guy said the float got something wrong? say only, then never fix... ask to fix, keep quiet...

I'm not into cars a lot, but this K&N air filter and snorkel idea sounds interesting and afforadable, might try it out at the end of this month, start finding from the Sunway auto garage area, hopefully SpeedD got since I get my bike engine oil from there too.

oh ya, what's the use of nitrogen in the tyre?

thanks shackk! i know this is a pretty damn n00b question, but don't we want the tyres to heat up? you know, for grip.. well, anything with saving FC sounds like a plan to me, my current FC now RM70 for about 360km (eventhough the KM left meter shows 460 after pump) so what the heck, I'm off to go get me some nitrogen tyres during lunch

oh ya, forgot to mention, I'm using 1.6 auto highline. just checked the snorkel, yep it's pretty darn small! not that I don't like the car but, sometimes even when I floor the pedal to overtake also the DOHC effect dont kick in, end up kena horn by a Kelisa...

oh ya, before I go for the nitrogen, wanna you sifus out there lets say I'm not too happy with it for some reason and want to go back to normal air, any specific procedure i need to go through?

Wah! that's even worse! don't you feel a bit burdened by this? I mean that's not cheap oo, considering my situation also is a killer when I compare with my dad's car getting more mileage. Erm, no, actually I've been driving using L, 2 and 3 since day 1, I tell ya if I had the choice I'd take manual anytime but.........

Thanks for the nitro tip

If you mean other car than Gen2 I tried before lah, yes it does lock and yes the car does skid out of control

Ok, will look for the 3 things and if I can find it and install it I'll let you guys know how it affects the overall driving performance

40km/h I think no ABS activated kua, in my experience I tried hard braking (Gen2) from 105km/h like that and I can hear some sound like "gang gang gang" damn loud and the car doesn't skid. But at 50km/h I did the same thing and the sound don't have but the car don't skid.

Could just be me though, but I was driving that Iswara once and another time in my friend's Sunny, both times about 70km/h only but the feeling is so scary, with the tyre screeching and skid effect

Ah so! means there is a Gen2 model out there without ABS? Take advantage of it then, drift

Hm, when I tested mine no light came out also?

pacer, I was just joking lah

No, that's just skidding, the idea of drifting is to just lose control of the rear and gain control by controlling the front whereas FWD or AWD will go for it at all 4 wheels and cause you to lose control badly. AWD can regain control since got rear wheel power also.

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

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.

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!

Nolah, not happy I'm at 9.4 but happy that there's some improvement. Current FC still very bad, go and come back from Sepang to Shah Alam 20 bucks

shackks, pm replied

wah, looks like some of you guys got even more extreme FC liao, I thought mine consider "quite good" for auto gen2 already

I saw it, and everytime entering turn 1 even a Satria would overtake it... nevertheless, I'm still proud of it! eventhough it didn't finish the race either.. lol! I saw the Patco booth outside, it says that the car uses NGV?? MME racing machine use NGV engine ah?

But then some ppl like matt got FC like in the 5.x region, that's AMAZING!

Engine failure due to either crash or just mechanical problems. Saw thw tow truck towing it at about 3am at the back stretch, quite a pity I must say..

shackks, any updates on the knn drop in?

This one must investigate liao already, list down exactly everything you use I also want to change, what brand spark plug what petrol what tyre what steering

now that's more like it, welcome back to the real world, fren

Funny that you mention it, the passanger seat carpet right? mine also got I think, and from outside can see like a leakage or air con water coming out from the bottom of the passanger seat place there, is this a serious problem?
