I'm back! Sorry for the long absence ya, been hanging around the other sub-forums until i overlooked the online home of my four-wheels...

Well, can my name be put on the first post under the "Gen2 1.6"? That's the car i've been driving since 2004 and still serving me well actually!

hey THT long time u been away dude.. lol

Wah, 2 snorkels ka, like that my fuel consumption also gonna increase 2X, heh..heh.

I doubt u culd remember me cos we only talk thru phone before we met. Ada ada , u told me about R3 mid box giving that noisy sound, that one also thru phone.
Bro, what's ur opinion regarding adjustable cam pulley. Is it worth it?

dexter - thats what u get for wanting a bigger rims ler...actually its hard to bengkok unless u really slam the rim in a pot hole...else it is ok ler...

want 45 go for 16" ler...

abeja - ooo u call thru phone ka...ACP??? worth it if u have a good tuner to properly tune for u

16" ada fell ka?...does it look bigger than stock rims?
if looks kinda same than no point wo..wats your opinion?

Guys, need abit of help here ..

Just got my 2nd hand gen2 yesterday and noticed something; maybe normal , maybe problem liao. so need sifu here to help verify


1. When i turn off the enjine, there is a small tick-tick-tick sound coming from the back of the speedmeter. This sound last for a few second then disappear... It is normal? What this sound does ?

2. Also, beside the speedmeter, there is a magnet. What is the purpose of the magnet ? Just to hold paper, or got something more?

dexter...it all depends on ur rim choice...if u use a deep dish ones with a 'bibir' of cos it will look small...even for 15" u can make it look big by choosing a proper rims...let say advanti like R3 used will make it look big...my 16" last time some ppl oso think its a 17"...




for me if using a 17" with thick tyre oso no point...buruk jugak...x cukup garang

dovienya...the tick2 sound???hmmmm sometimes i heard sometime i dont so i dunno XD... as for the magnet, its an accessory from proton...u could hang ur staff ID there or anything that could stick to a magnet

Hello guys.
Just to share some info when i was traveled from..

Kota Damansara to Perlis.
Total Fuel pump at Kota Damansara = RM 62 (to get Full tank)
KM covered = 420 KM ( topup another RM10@Petronas Lencong Barat, Alor Setar to get to Perlis)
Max speed = 160 km/h
Average speed = 140km/h

Perlis to Kota Damansara
Total Fuel = 1 1/2 tanks (forget to set the total KM and total fuel)
Max speed = 180 km/h ("berat kaki" on the pedal at most of the time)
Average speed = 150km/h

So i'm quit OK with my fuel consumption - full tank manage to get at least 420km even i was speeding at most of the time.

Yo bro!!! We share the same rims lerrr, K-II racing line right?
Ya la, I think 16" is good enough for looks. Just look for rims with very large and long spokes.
Ok thanks 4 the ACP thing. Powerzone is quite famous right?

I dare you.... Full tank , go drive around KLCC, Jalan Raja Laut, Jalan Tun Perak, Cheras (?) every Monday to Friday from 4:45pm to 6:45pm and see how far a full tank can go



I only hate that auto-geardown when we go down hill... even when can go downhill at 90km, also autogear down... waste my fuel only...

Yeap, that auto-geardown shift thingy sometimes quite irritating cos its too sensitive. I think proton has already rectify it thru Persona. If u have the $$, u can change the Gen's TCU with the Persona one. Heard that it's very costly.

Guys, i'm considering a change of the exhaust pipe for my ride... My preference is towards the small or medium types, with quiet sound (my gf will kill me if the exhaust is too noisy! )...

What are the recommended brands / types and prices, Gen2 bros?

Anyone here have a e-version of the handbook manual?

I'm not able to tune the radio freq for the stock 2-dim radio (bau-something model) ... The closest I've got is 105.7 (light-and-easy) ... and i'm not able to get hitz, mix or any of the other channels..
