What's the brand of original sport rim for premium line? Is it good to replace my standard 'rim besi' with the premium sport rim?

What brand is the original sport rim for premium line? I think it's manufactured by Proton themself since it really is Proton's branding on the rims.

test drive the Inspira and it doesnt have such jerking effect. Test drive the Forester and XV too, and it doesn't have such jerking effect.

That is due to the different system used in the CVT system. Proton (PUNCH) CVT is using clutch system while the rest of the competition now is using torque converter system. THe PUNCH CVT system is essentially a transmission with an automated (robotic) clutch. The clutch is computer controlled instead of human and being a computer, the clutch engaging/disengaging takes a bit more time than normal human does and hence the jerking at low speed.

The EB premium rims could be some other brand too but with Proton badge rimcap. Any idea how to find out what's the actual brand of the rims?

Actually the gearbox jerking CVT caused by a different team who set up the ECU of the engine and Punch CVT TCU, @ initial launch the 2 Control unit didn't work together as planned and causing such high pitch whining noise, and transmission jerking.

Newer batches already has the 2 teams (proton and punch) sat down and working together to develop the programming together.

1st batch Bold
a. No rev limiter, can go up to 210 Km/h without problem
b. Gearbox kong (CVT light on)
c. Jerking especially when put into reverse gear.

Newer batch
a. Rev limiter up to 190Km/h and its electronically controlled by the ECU.
b. improved cooling assy on the CVT ATF cooler.
c. Less jerking, however it does not eliminate 100% jerkyness (random).

The 100 % collaboration will be implement on the new Proton Global Small Car (Savvy Replacement) with 2 option.

1. Proton GLC with 1.0 Engine 4 cylnder NFE non turbo + CVT
2. Proton GLC with 1.3 Engine 4 Cylinder CFE Turbo + CVT.

I have not seen the 1.3 version, but I have sat inside the 1.0 N/A pre production Version. (Will have test drive session in May this year).

thumbup.gif good info bro....have yet to resolve mine....especially the fluttering sound and side mirror wind noise...

Side mirror wind noise, for mine, is caused by the gap between the mirror and its mounting. At certain speed, I would hear a high pitch whistle. Cover up the gap would eliminate it.

Not yet test driven, just a pre production model without the stickers.. even inside all the dashboard are plain plastic mould for the vendor samples..

From the way I seen before, the NFE engine (in theory) will have similar power with the myvi 1.3, the visible part is VVT + IAFM on the intake but nothing on the exhaust cam valve.

rumor has it, the CFE 1.3 will have similar power with 1.6 N/A.

Proton GSC (savvy Replacement)= Think Honda Brio chasis..

Also don't forget to warm up your eb since it's turbocharged.Straight start the engine and go will damage the turbo ball bearing.Price of the Turbo is 6K.

Start and let the engine warm up for atleast 7minutes or 10mins.

Ngek ngek squeak sound if drive at uneven or rough road - Replace Insulator cowl top (front strut)

*
My 1 year old EB is having this squeaking sound (from front wheels) when driving on uneven road but only in the morning or after rain/car wash (so i suspect moist caused this sound). Sent the car back to SC twice but they were unable to detect the sound, it is getting more and more annoying. Can you please elaborate more on this? What is Insulator cowl top? Previously u said the sound can be heard from front, rear, left and right but the SC only change the front strut? Anyone else experiencing this issue? TQ
