those who thinks that stabilizer might give significant improvement in terms of handling, i dare to say that you're wrong.

sway bar gives much significant improvement than stabilizer bar that it should be the first thing to add before u add anything else.

that is why some cars come factory fitted with sway bars, but some don't. and stabilizer bars were never fitted by factory.

think about that.

but i go proton parts at Glenmarie yesterday. the selling 3max front bar as proton genuine parts. but i think for sure front bar will keep front car body from bending. this happen when my new LMST n my fren old saga install 2gether. mine just plug n play but my fren car nid jack up n install the bar.

i'm talking about factory fitted parts, not additional accessories. those u mentioned are accessories only.

adding stabilizer bar does make u feel the body is strengthen, but adding sway bar give much-much improvement in terms of handling especially hard cornering.

my cousins had two same Corolla AE92, the difference was that one does not have a sway bar, but one does... it's so much different. imagine hard/tight cornering at 90km/h.... one is already 'buang', but another is still grippy.

the same goes with my Civic EF, compare with my uncles'. Both are hatchback 2 doors. the test was done before i swap engine...so both of us has the same 1.5 carb engines. mine is automatic, but his is manual. but mine is factory equipped with sway bars front and rear. my corners are tighter than his.

i'm not saying that stabilizer bars are not useful. in fact i've never said that. i just say that adding sway bar improves your handling a lot.

chassis flex is different story. besides, don't compare street cars with track/rally cars.

Just a feedback from friend of my gf who got the first version who got their Persona the car was leaking at the bottom and top of the car. And problems with the wiring. Car was sent to service centre for warranty to be fixed sad.gif. My gf cancelled to buy this car due to problems of this. An engineer from Proton also confirmed the 1st engine of this Campro will have problems after 30k they are planning to change to a new one. Just wait and see what happened.

Door visor is the same as Gen2 rite?

I think it'll look much better without the trunk chrome line.

those DVVT kids are just vtec wannabe... they expect the dvvt to perform like vtec when the difference is like heaven and earth.

heard the new civic i-vtec use VIM to complement existing vtec.
DVVT got or not?
honda implemented VIM since DC2 Integra, available on DC2 non-Type R B18C engine (look at the intake manifold curve downwards).

eh ..  got 1 question here  ..    how is the persona auto gear box behave ?

is it same like waja style ........   it's gonna take some time to engage to another gear ??
persona automatic gearbox is smooth, which really proves that proton tweak the TCU for better performance. it's also quite responsive.... changes gear in time. if u floor the pedal all the way, it will rev higher before shifting to higher gear.

i believe it will need ECU remapping for optimized performance
