how long you guys towait  change to a better tyres?
*
Depends on your driving style and daily road conditions, but general rule is you should change after 30k km.

hi guys, my next service date is next week but i might not be free to send for service. is there any grace period not to exceed?

tq
*
Don't worry, it's normal, but don't go over the limit like 3 months after the scheduled date or exceeding thousands of km.

quite a good handling car for me  biggrin.gif always feel like have to layan every cornering. using cfe version for nearly 2 months now. after getting the car, i'm quite surprised by it. not so much body roll so can confidently corner at high speed. like at duta corner, 80km/h feels biasa saja.  biggrin.gif  this is my opinion la but if other sifu have different views, can share also  smile.gif

Newer Proton cars are always about superb handling, what more with big segment cars that have high stability.

Anyone has 4300k HID installed? I think it's a safe bet as a replacement that JPJ won't find trouble with it.

As long as it is aftermarket, jpj can fine you..

Yes, but I installed 6000k before and it was very obvious that it was an HID, I'm wondering if 4300k will not be that bright but still better than the weirdly angled projector-halogen combo headlight.

I had a hid 4300k installed no issue with police or jpj been through each of the enforcer roadblock and followed behind a few police and jpj before as well.

To be safe just hide the ballast from view.

Should be VT3+ if you have the pump.

Could you upload a picture with the lights on at night? I would appreciate that smile.gif

Hey that is nice, looks like the beam defuses cleanly at 50 meter.

Where did you get it done?

Im stucked between new preve and used inspira.
Due to my nature of work and also like to drive long distance, i wanted a car that has lower fc when cruising at 140kmh.

Currently driving city dsi 7 speed (2004).
Top speed only 160kmh
No cruise ctrl

Should i get preve?
*
For long distance, shouldn't worry much, but CFE is better than 2.0 Inspira.

However, as you might already know, Preve lacks in refinement so if you don't mind 'mysterious rattle or noise', then Preve would be good. I'm assuming you are eyeing for CFE (turbo).

Well, I could certainly live with it, since they are not critical issues.

I was wondering, since im not sure if every conventional AT trans have hill assist or the one where when ur car in incline road, u brake and let go off the pedal for a sec the car will not move, preve doesnt have that thing is it even for cvt?

i mean, i thought it's a general thing to have?
quite leceh for example wanna go out mall basement have to use left foot to press brake and right foot ready to press throttle. if not, for sure car go backwards.
*
Err, you should use hand brake instead of left food on brake if you can't find the balance.

if liddat leceh. any other car can just simply lift foot and the car wont roll back like preve does. that's why i was asking the questions. it's not for long time stationary position.

i was asking about when u're ready to go from traffic or simply after inserting ticket when go out from basement parking for example. u brake then u lift a bit to press throttle right? in that small period of time the car should hold but preve doesnt.  confused.gif

u get what i mean?  biggrin.gif
*
I know what you meant, but using handbrake and throttle is easier and less complicated than using both left and right foot on the throttle and brake.

Ive experienced mysterious rattle in saga blm. Lol. Yes im eyeing for turbo of course..the only spec with cruise ctrl.

Even 2004 city dun have any rattle noise just soundproofing problem.

Could u describe more about this rattle? Isit from the engine or dashboard?
*
Most of the times it comes from within interior, nothing that I would worry. Usual culprits are rear dashboard (speaker), third brake light, and front dashboard after the engine mounting gives away after sometimes.

hi all,

i just got myself a used 2012 Preve Turbo clocking 45,000KM. aside from the high fuel consumption & a bit of a slowpoke when coming out of corners, everything about the car so far looks good.

i've changed the engine oil & filter change Syntium800 10w40. anything else i should look out for?

and has anyone here changed their mounting edi? how much would that usually cost? just something to keep in mind for the future.
*
Engine mounting is around RM160+ IIANM.

what about that oil cooler hose thingy? how do we tell it needs replacing?

Puddle of coolant oil.

Don't wait for it to happen, just bring the car to SC. The hose condition can be checked simply by looking at the car from below.

Hi guys, looking for a good shop for windscreen replacement. Few weeks ago a rock hit my windscreen and it was only a small chip initially. As time goes by, the chip got bigger and need to replace the windscreen.

The worst part is I didn't take the windscreen insurance. Can anyone recommend an affordable windscreen replacement shop please?

Why not just order one at Proton Glenmarie?

yea.. i plan to try once for the michelin tyres.. so i spent rm396 each.. total 1584 including GST, alginment, balancing.. free tyre inflator as well.. it's really comfortable and quiet tyres.. really made difference between GT radial and michelin

Try Bridgestone RE003, the compound is harder (higher mileage) and noise is not different than PS3.

changed already.. i read some review about RE003 and people said it quite low mileage. i choose Primacy 3 ST instead of PS3 (Pilot Sport 3) due to i want comfortable and quiet cabin.. so i tried the Primacy 3 ST.. so far i used 2 days only.. quite satisfy with it.. even my parents and colleagues also said a lot quieter now..
*
Mileage clocking is also affected by your driving style. Of course the general mass takes PS3 as the control benchmark, but I prefer RE003 more. Currently I'm using Kumho PS31 and surprisingly good for the current setup 215/45/17 biggrin.gif

Painted my R3 rims steel silver and it boosts the aesthetic biggrin.gif

yesterday i peel 2 small pieces of black double side tape.. and put on the small window top 2 corners.. today tried cruise at 110km/h.. noise disappear.. great.. temporary solution until next available free time during weekday..
i'm normal user with long distance driving everyday.. i just need average grip and most importantly comfortable.. safety and quiet are my main concerns.
*
Can show some pictures where you stick the tape? I believe something neater can be done if I know where to put it.

About the tyre, wet grip should be the benchmark as it is where the conditions are really put to the test biggrin.gif
