what uhp tyre you changed to?

about the spring you have changed, is it stiffer ride and bumpy on uneven road?
*
I have trade-in my Silverstone Kruizer with Maxxis MA i-Pro Victra i-Pro.

About the spring:
- It is definitely stiffer compare with the stock spring.
- Does not sacrifice too much on comfort.
- Styling wise better looking as it does not look like a boat to me.
- Low but not too low as going up and down from car park basement without any trouble. Speed bump definitely not an issue.

Can check out here.

It didn’t appear. My car is 5 months old. Too early to be weak battery, no? There was no indicator anyway on the MID

What a meaty and juicy list of mods you have there!

If you dont mind, can you share with us on the cost and location for each mod? This will help others to gauge the price before proceed with the mod. biggrin.gif

Sure. Im in Penang so prices are be more expensive here compared to KL i think. Item one I get from Pusat Tayar dan Bateri Relau while rest of items are from Kiong Lee.

1) Sport rim 15 inch + Potenza RE003 (195/55/15) - RM1300 + trade in stock
2) Ultra racing stage 1 - RM650
3) Zerone SSR550 adjustable - RM2100
4) Potent Booster 6 drive - RM700
5) Stiff ring - RM300

Thinking of what mod left for me to do.

Definitely reduce body roll during high speed cornering compared to before I put it on.
As for potent booster Im always on Sport mode (H-X), since fc isnt my concern. Just want the great throttle feedback whenever Im driving.
The Racing mode (F-X) is too much for daily drive. lol

After driving the new persona for a bit more than a year (1year and 1month) I would say this is the last Proton car I'll ever buy.
One of the main reason I bought new car instead of second hand Honda/Toyota at that time was hoping that new car will give less headache or at least if there's anything broken it will be covered under warranty for the first few years. Now they start to told me this broken that broken and warranty are only 1 year, so I have to pay.
Sorry for the negatives view, just want to let it off my chest.

How come? Isn't the warranty is 5 years? Did you change anything on your car?
Did you serviced the car at external workshop?

Totally understand how you feel. Been there and done that with Honda especially with the airbags. It is far more dangerous compare with my issue with my Persona (Wakanda Forever). Based on my understanding from you post, if the SC mentioned that the parts only cover for 1 year only limited to:

- Exhaust System
- Battery

Not everything is cover for 5 years. Referring back to the Warranty & Service Booklet below:
