QUOTE(arza04 @ Sep 28 2014, 05:58 PM) Just now sit in exora prime at PROTON oval track, the driver did 160km/h on the 45° bank section. Damn steady and can feel the g-force  my first time on that track Sounds really fun. I wanted to go to their event this weekend, but last minute some plans came up and didn't get to go

QUOTE(arza04 @ Sep 28 2014, 11:07 PM) You missed a lot of fun bro  hopefully there will be next time I asked one of their engineer about the 6 speed manual trans, she said they have it but management put it on hold..such a waste, or maybe reserve for major facelift  6 speed manual trans? hopefully paired with a turbo engine. New turbo 1.6 VVT engine maybe? I heard there was a 2.0 turbo engine on display there too

QUOTE(arza04 @ Sep 29 2014, 06:16 PM) Turbo 1.6 vvt is not cfe meh? Unless you are talking about bigger tebu Got 2.0 neo1, 2.2V6 and 3.0 V6  Imagine the power Lots of rumours saying that the VVT engine is actually in fact a campro with VVT. So if that is true, I guess a turbo 1.6 VVT is indeed a CFE engine since CFE itself already has VVT :

QUOTE(terence999 @ Sep 29 2014, 03:50 PM) Hello sifus, I plan to get the EB by this year end due to family extending, however I don't want to get it near my place (bought it from RecEngine trading near The Mines, I stay in Sri Serdang). Do you guys know any SA or shop to recommend? Reason why I don't want to go back to RecEngine is because they are rude (my experience when I bought my Saga in 2010). Looking for freebies that's why waiting for year end. Hehe. Any news about the new facellift / major 7-seater model from Proton? Normally year end got more discounts and offers  I have a feeling Proton might launch an updated Exora next year, perhaps with extra safety kit and maybe a hybrid variant. The SA i got my EB from was very good. PJ area though. I can give him your contact number if you want

New tint VLT regulations : Front windscreen 70%, Front driver & passenger 50%, all else 30%. http://paultan.org/2014/09/29/new-tint-rules-nov-1/

QUOTE(alexei @ Sep 30 2014, 12:06 AM) You in Penang? Just the connector which I honestly think it won't break on its own. The location suggests some owner might have accidentally knocked it and claim it is faulty made it a bigger issue that compelled proton to remedy it. Hopefully, theirs is just rare case since it only happened to a small percentage of units (when compared to the amount of Exoras on the road). But anyway just to be safe, we should request for a radiator replacement just for safety sake.

QUOTE(comflash2 @ Sep 30 2014, 12:33 PM) My exora bold CFE (1st batch, preorder version) just got radiator inlet problem.. overheat and stranded. Now i'm waiting for Proton to change the radiator. Proton already change lot of thing (for free) for my exora, but i didn't recall any they change aircon fan. Can u explain more or give me the link. I want to make sure i change it before my warranty expire soon. Eh? Means your unit also kena the problem of radiator inlet pecah? Were there any signs prior to the inlet breaking? Like perhaps engine vibrating abnormally or something?

QUOTE(comflash2 @ Oct 1 2014, 03:06 PM) Yup... just kena. Today, proton just call me to take the car. Take 2 days to fix this. There is no sign before its happen... just suddenly temperature shoot up and smoke (water vapor) comeout from my bonet. When i open the bonet i see host inlet from turbo to radiator is totally disconnected and causing coolant to come out. When i take a look carefully i notice its not really disconnected, but the plastic connection inlet actually broken. The last time my bonet is opened is > 1 month ago when i do the 60k service. So, i doubt i broke it myself. If proton service broke it, my car should overheat sooner. I recommend everybody to change the radioator before your car stranded like me. Thanks for sharing your experience mate. Definitely will try to get my radiator changed

QUOTE(alexei @ Oct 7 2014, 10:39 AM) Until we know how to measure spring rate, the feeling of 'improved handling' by just changing spring is vague. What aspects of the stock handling do you want to improve? Body roll? Under\over steer? Bumpiness? QUOTE(zaidi @ Oct 7 2014, 01:36 PM) +1 you need to know what to improve. stock handling is already great. once you change to lowered spring, the centre of gravity is lowered down, car will behave differently already. maybe become better, maybe worse. Stock handling is already good enough for me. By far one of the best in the MPV segment. If lowered the spring, wouldn't that mean the overall ground clearance of the car is lowered too? I feel that the car is already low enough. Sometimes going over high bumps can scratch underside of the bumper. If lower even more, habis lah my bumper

QUOTE(alexei @ Oct 7 2014, 02:30 PM) My FC with Caltex is getting worse lately. Perhaps the wind has changed, time to change brand. Now I switched back to shell. I found that Petron did improve the the fuel economy for a few tanks. After that it's back to normal fuel consumption again. Also, I have pumped 3 times with Petronas RON95 (all 3 different locations). I find that Petronas makes the car's vibration intrude into the cabin more obvious. I'm not sure if this is mind over matter or what, but I feel that Petronas makes the car feel a little bit underpowered too when compared to Shell, Petron and BHP.

QUOTE(alexei @ Oct 8 2014, 08:58 AM) A few problems I am having now, hope if you guys can shed some light: 1. In the morning when the engine is still cold, I will drive the car anyway. I noticed when I do a right turn, there will be a loud roar coming from the left engine side. 2. Engine bay\CVT rattling sound. This happens when I am driving slow, and release the throttle. There will be this slow dangling-like rattling sound coming from outside of the car, feels like from engine bay area also. Like something is hanging loose.I have this problem too. I thought I was the only one. I noticed that it happens especially in stop-and-go crawl traffic, or when I'm in an housing area that has alot of bumps and constantly need to slow down + accelerate. Anyone knows whats going on or has a fix for this? This post has been edited by YouDontKnowMyName: Oct 8 2014, 12:33 PM

QUOTE(alexei @ Oct 8 2014, 01:32 PM) Ya know, that makes me feel a lot better already. I have been wanting to get it checked, so maybe I'll get that done when my radiator arrives, perhaps in the next few weeks or so. On the radiator, based on my record of P1SC handling my warranty (rear passenger handle bar spring broke), got to me after 3 weeks. We shall see, fingers crossed. Otherwise, I'll need to have it jacked up, and shake everything possible to find the culprit. Also, on another note, stock exhaust is not mandrel bent. So, every bend of the pipe has a flow restriction. I feel 'beh song' (tak puas) like want to spend $$$ for a better cat-back system. I plan to get it checked too during my next service. Hopefully it is a known problem and they can fix it for us easily
