this is purposely set this way i think, coz the campro characteristic: the torque dip issue.

thus, when u change gear, it is deliberately to program the engine to auto rev and keep the rpm high and drop slowly so that it can gain the momentem when the next gear shift in.

maybe i am wrong.

hi there.

persona is among the cars to be considered in few months time. however, the price of just 50K plus has edged it ahead. however, there are some of the things i need to ask the others.

1) can i replace the middle ICE unit with a touchscreen unit? is there anyone ever do this?
2) the mirrors. can i install indicators on them? i mean signal indicators. the modification is minor but, has anyone ever bother think about it. look nicer what..
3) The new Waja light to replace the existing Persona headlight. any possibility?

the three (so far) changes i am asking are that i believe will make the persona more 'luxurious' feel. i am not into racing thing but i want a car that is cheap in reality, but when u sit inside or look at it, u may go.." this is not bad"..

How to change my clock display format from 24hour to 12hour ?

The user manual got mention it can display in 12hour format, but didnt tell how to set it.

mokhzaini,

1. yes, u can change the ori HU with aftermarket, but only single din is available atm.. u hav to buy the aftermarket HU panel from the acc shop..
2. got ppl from g2c hav side mirror with indicators, but i dunno whr he bought it or how he did it..
3. u cant chg the headlight, even if its possible, its illegal as u chg the persona ori headlight design..

ychwang,

i dunno how to do it, as mine is by default 12 hour format..

that's because the drive by wire throttle. the throttle response will be a few milisecond slower than normal drive by cable throttle. And don't forget the reesponse time for the stepper motor inside the throttle that even slower down the response from your pedal..nowadays most newer car comes with drive by wire throttle. go and see ur gas pedal, u will notice there's no cable but only wires attached with a black box with stepper motor inside..that's drive by wire...
google it for more info.

This thing happpens in all Persona.

Just run up to rpm 2,900 which is close to 100km/h you will be the rough harsy sound with some vibration feel at the pedal. Run up a little speed & its smooth after rpm2,900.
Some complaint its drive shafts ....try to check them with Proton Edar service centre & not any appointed workshop.
Mine just reduce the feel...& I'll go for next 10,000 km service for to rectify again.
Someone got it rectify with some thing added to reduce harness at the shafts area. Some dampener I think...

I too need help in this matter..as I'll be sending for 2nd service soon.

yea..i know...but mine is when accelerating time around 1100rpm-2000rpm...very rough sound...like lorry sound.."greewww"....and pedal can feel vibration also...and then about the 100km @ 2900rpm also..

yep, i felt it as well. What i do is release the pedal a lil then press it back slowly. The vibration should be gone. felt like i'm tunning the car with my feet. hehe.. Anyway, currently my car have a wierd squeeking sound at from the back when i'm moving arround bumps or not so smooth terrain. hm... dunno why...

the problem was solved. i went to the Proton SC Cheras yesterday and they told me, it's something wrong about paddle configuration. because nowadays, the pedal is not manually let the oil flow, but the computer does it. so after reconfigure the paddle system, the car is back to normal. if anyone face the problem, may go to Proton SC, and very happy to deal with Proton SC Cheras. In more details, just use the word - "drive by wire".

did u mean the lagging can be solved? last time i ask liao, they said it is the charasteristic of campro whereby u cannot do something to it... a bit regret buy proton...

i'm not sure about manual persona. but for persona highline auto, it's make a lot of different. before this need to push till 3000rpm before the gear changing automatically, but after the service, you drive 20km/h also have smooth change of gear. there also some 3rd party parts which can improve pickup for this campro i found in the thepersonaclub forum but don't know so much.

Today im doing my 20K service at Eon service centre alor star. im b-line manual it cost me 410.26...eerrrkkkk....
